Taken on Murlough Beach, around this time of the year about four or five years ago. One of my favourite beaches in Northern Ireland.

"I think the best strategy in the age of AI is: bet on yourself… unique work made well with huge amounts of love is actually going to become more valuable in the AI era." A very heartening story about the brilliant Naomi Alderman buying back “Zombies, Run!” www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
Finally some good buyout news: A writer just bought back the game she co-created from a blockchain company so it 'doesn’t end up being turned into AI slop'
Novelist and game writer Naomi Alderman has bought back the rights to the Zombies, Run! exercise app she's been writing episodes of for more than a decade.

An illustration for An Enemy at Green Knowe.

The witches’ cats have driven the birds from Green Knowe’s garden. But one of the boys has painted a banner, lit a lantern and is buying his hair with the hair of Hanno the escaped gorilla (from a previous book). The spirit of the gorilla will help.

The summer of 2020 saw the stunning installation of King’s College’s Back Lawn of a wildflower meadow. The conversion of the previously manicured lawn, dating back to 1722, has boosted biodiversity as well as being a glorious sight.

Experimenting with making folk horror Fuzzy Felt, combining shapes from vintage sets with cutting my own.
Only a work in progress & a tentative first attempt but I’m enjoying working out the process & possibilities

Andor: 29 brilliant and *very* minor characters, ranked.
A THREAD

I'm not a Star Wars fanboy at all. I vaguely watched the films and forgot them. But I happened on Andor S1 and loved it - not least because of its conveyor belt of amazing British (and in S2 French) character actors in tiny roles

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"
