Esther continually deadnamed Brianna during the call and honestly if you didn't already know what happened, you would have assumed suicide. There was no focus on external dangers or how we could combat them. The focus was purely about the dangers of how 'obsessed with social media' she was.

I wish Apple would hurry up and release a new Apple TV box. Need to replace my Nvidia Shield TV but it's been over 3 years since the last one so there's probably one on the way sometime in the future.

Coming to the end of my hols. I always like to leave a bit of art on the beach as a farewell gift. I'm like a sort of sand Banksy, if you will?
This was the finished work at 3pm, and what it looked like later at around 8pm. I think I prefer the second version.

Back in 2006, I pitched a daft Doctor Who strip to Doctor Who Adventures, "At Home With..." the alien of the editor's choice, and Nick Miller came up with these two samples. It didn't fly, but I thought I'd share them...

@themountaingoats.bsky.social have a great song about this band called "Abandoned Flesh" on their 2017 album Goths.

The two main guys are related
They're at war with each other
Now there's two Genes loving Jezebel
One for each brother

I’ll spare you the task of reading the Wikipedia page about the Welsh goth band Gene Loves Jezebel, but suffice to say that this is a potted summary of what eventually happens when twin brothers fall out with each other. Tragic, really

Eight years ago today, 25 Sept 2017, the first #WhenIsBirths card was uploaded to what was then Twitter. More recently, in 2023, I gave it an upgrade with extra names. I do exclusive commissions! Contact me! Christmas, birthdays etc. Email me (see bio).

said friend is a vet and after one such walk in 2017 I got him to write this, it is very good and he is wasted doing a real job that actually helps people when he could be writing #content
“Gandalf, please”: as a vet, here’s what I’ve learned from how people name their pets

Phenomenal. In my 10 year update of A Brief History, I make the point that in the first edition, not one disease had been successfully treated using gene therapy. Today that number is at least 7.
