A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open.

[Scene is MCcDONALDS PICKUP POINT but for the most part we can only see the close up faces of tha CUSTOMER and the McDONALDS EMPLOYEE at the serving point].

1
CUSTOMER:
Hi - I’m afraid this isn’t what I ordered

2
McDONALDS EMPLOYEE:
Number 187?

CUSTOMER:
Yes

3
CUSTOMER:
Maybe I pressed the wrong thing?
I just ordered one strawberry milkshake.

4
EMPLOYEE:
Oh - yeah sorry

5
EMPLOYEE:
The milkshake machine’s not working.

6
EMPLOYEE:
The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage.

7
CUSTOMER:
Is that a new flavour?

EMPLOYEE:
Yeah

8
[We now see that the employee has placed a gigantic milkshake cup on the counter]

EMPLOYEE:
If you look inside, there’s a Labour leader pretending to be Nigel Farage.

9
[Customer looks inside the cup]

10
[Show Keir Starmer dressed as Nigel Farage inside the cup]

CUSTOMER:
So there is

11
CUSTOMER:
Is that something people want, then?

EMPLOYEE:
No! No, not at all.

EMPLOYEE:
It just keeps happening when we press banana.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

My print store will be opening this week! Sign up below!

A digital painting of kids in front of a big window with the ocean visible outside. Two boys leap through their living room carrying stuffed whales. Out the floor to ceiling windows we can see rays, narwhals, and whales swimming through a blue undersea starscape. The kids are wearing pajamas, and one dons a golden blanket cape. A dog runs with them.

Cover I drew for Home Sick Pilots #4 a few years ago.

Variant cover for Home Sick Pilots #4, drawn and coloured by me. A girl stands facing the reader with her arms held out at her sides, palms facing forward. She glows with white and pink energy. Behind her, lit by her glow, is a large and powerful-looking artificial construct made from what looks to be stone. It brandishes two enormous fists.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds

World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

YES THIS. If you are one of the "all is lost" people please feel free not to say so in the comments of my posts, it'll save me the two seconds it takes to "hide for everyone" your comments. All is not lost. All is never lost. I prefer not to have you infecting others with your doomerism in my space.

Angus Johnston @angus.bsky.social · 27d

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.
