Lloyd Didcot, 32, took the unusual step to not carefully prepare a mental script for his coffee order last Friday and, subsequently, experienced the actual, literal torture of eternal damnation for about five minutes in his local Costa.

I feel like there's a fundamental reality of social media that the people running the platforms fail to grasp; that the platform is defined by its users. You may try and set up a platform to attract a particular user base, but it's pot luck who you actually get.

When examining a crime scene, it's easy to jump to hasty conclusions. This dead grouse, for example, looks suspicious but there's every chance his shotgun went off accidentally while he was cleaning it.

You're excited about Elite's new 'Caspian' ship class.
I'm excited about the return of the Dodec station type.

I went a third of a century accepting, on the testimony of a cartoon, that coyotes chase roadrunners before I ever saw the real thing.

Today's word is COLOR. Today's quote from the new ebook edition of SUMMON THE KEEPER, a 1998 contemporary fantasy about people who close the holes between worlds and the cats who have to keep reminding them that the food bowl is empty. There's no point in saving the world if the cat is starving.

It's #BookQW and it's time for a burst of "colour". Shopping in a multiverse can be a more complicated proposition than you might think.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.
