Due to the irregular nature of the cuboids in this diagram, this game could only rotate on a single axis. Renderering it dull at best.

Rewatching the Thriller box set starting from disc 1? Including the weird American credit sequences? With cheese and wine and all the candles on? And no work tomorrow? Yes, sir.

My favourite YouTube channel has made a new episode. British Cryptids are stylistic documentaries from the 70s on ghosts, monsters and folklore. Think Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World meets the first series of Look Around You. youtu.be/XTTw5jquP-k?...

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

I had no idea Billy Connolly was in the Christmas Worzel Gummidge. He gets to sing a song and later his head falls off (but it’s all good) #tptv

If you're after suggestions for a short story or two to read for Halloween, here's the list I put together for A Personal Anthology a couple of years back. Not all horror or weird fiction, but mostly.

A Personal Anthology, by Ray Newman
At the start of 2023 I set myself a target to read 365 short stories, which I’ve now done – and which is why Jonathan asked me to contribute to this ongoing project.

One of the most remarkable pieces of television of the 1970's has just been uploaded. Crown Court: Lola.
You think you know where it's going. You think it will be of its time (and it kind of is). And then it blows you out the water.

Years ago I wrote this piece about national treasure and dreadful old c**t Peter Blake. Have just dredged it up for my new best friend @typetheclouds.bsky.social who had the good sense to buy my fucking book™ at the Hastings book fair.
