Win10 users, today's the day they make all big holes in your PC and all the hackers swarm into them...

...unless you click "no thanks actually" in which case they just actually keep supporting Win10 for another year for some reason. here's how:
Windows 10 users in the EU and UK, you can get free Extended Security Updates for a year just by:
> Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. Click.
Scroll down to Enrol in Extended Security Updates (or similar wording).
Click on it.
Follow prompts.
Bingo, you're good for a year.

It is literally a crime against music that Oasis are raking in tens of millions for their glorified karaoke sessions when Suede and Saint Etienne have put out stunning new albums that will barely make anything in comparison 😠

The Guardian’s whole ‘please fund us because this is a fight against evil’ shtick would be more persuasive if they didn’t run endless pieces about e.g. why everyone is talking about avocado talc, written by someone called Avocado Talcum-Powder.

London's mudlarks at war: feuds, fights and slurs on the shoreline.

It's a Bank Holiday so for one day only, I'm making this brilliant piece by @susborne.bsky.social free to read.

There's also an experimental one day flash sale for the first 25 people!

Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.

Repost? I am in the wilderness.

A rift in the fabric of reality somewhere near Chelmsford? It must be Broken Veil. I had a fascinating chat with @gralefrit.bsky.social and @willmac23.bsky.social about their brilliant podcast, written for (and with lots of love for) @forteantimes.bsky.social

It's probably too much to hope for that some of the people in this piece sue the arses off the Salt Path couple, but given that they are straight-up libelled by Raynor Winn, I'd love to see them go for it. (repost because apparently I can't type without making, um, typos.)

FACT ALERT

You probably need to know that Robert Stigwood, the Bee Gees’ manager, was behind the magnets-and-mirrors cut-price animation system ‘Visimotion’.

This was the technique that was employed to make Alexander The Mouse, the first Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin Smallfilms production.

I will always take an excuse to repost this. This guy bet on himself and took a break from his dull cubicle existence to follow his dreams. He massively fucked up, should not have done that.

8 long years ago today, we released our very first episode. And what a lovely time it's been. Thanks to everyone who's listened, promoted us, guested, or put a couple of bob in the pot.

Here's to years more lengthy chat, slightly smutty jokes, and giggling like simpletons.
