Amazon making a TV show of Iain M Banks' Culture novels is both potentially very interesting and something that he would passionately hate if he were still with us.

The New School of the Anthropocene is a radical, trans-disciplinary, low-fee experiment in higher ed. I'm proud to teach there & to think together with students from Gaza, Ukraine & beyond. Applications open for 25-26: virtual/in-person More on our ethos/apply here: nsota.org/home @nsota.bsky.social

Watching 964 Pinocchio. Seems chill. (Er NSFW. Or home. Or anywhere.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy1x...

What is Shoegaze Horror? A Ghost Story, We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, Skinamarink and beyond… a horror cinema of ghosts, memories, and slow-burning dissolution, dislocation, dissociation, depersonalisation & derealisation. I take a walk through 17 films… 📽️👻 whitlockandpope.com/2025/02/23/j...

godspeed you blanc emperor

Media layoffs abound so to help out journalist pals who've been laid off/freelancers looking for more work , I'm going to do a monthly thread with the writing roles I've found! Here are some February finds. Will be updated as I find things. Reposts appreciated 💛

I have no idea who made these or why, but almost all of these rough n' ready Boards of Canada/hip-hop mashups are weirdly great www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H5S...

This one, however, we CAN share: thequietus.com/quietus-revi.... What a beauty, thanks @thequietus.com and @evilrobotbill.bsky.social Album out via @fikarecordings.com this Friday

Back on TQ today with this beautiful record

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

Biff Wiff, the beloved character actor known for his brief roles in I Think You Should Leave, Dave, and Everything Everywhere All at Once, has died, following a battle with cancer.

I am very glad that I am generally happy and OK for the most part these days otherwise I would be entirely hyper-fixated on the Ethel Cain record www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIvM...

let's step carefully into the dark

Me: I guess Cobra Kai will dispense with its millions of BS subplots given there's only five eps left. Cobra Kai:

There’s a part of The Faculty where Elijah Wood’s parents take his porno and one of the magazines is called “bOOb”

Had a haunted evening, starting with me getting a bus to a hospital I've never heard of five miles out of town in the countryside in some weird liminal suburby village and taking the following vaguely Lost Highway-adjacent photo. It's pitch black out and the bus stops nowhere near the hospital.

There’s a David Lynch double bill on BBC2 tonight (Sunday) - Blue Velvet at 22:00 and The Elephant Man at 23:55. Set your VCRs

It's cold and it's wintry and I'm sitting up to watch Sapphire and Steel on my own (the train station one)

Last couple of weeks I've been wondering what Mark Jenkin would do next. Now we know. This is immediately the film I'm the most excited for. deadline.com/2025/02/geor...

Incoming message from the Grammy’s. Lady Gaga wants to know what the fuck you’re doing so close to the Neutral Zone.

This detail from the Guardian's Self Esteem interview reveals much about how little a career in music pays, and London property madness. She's 38, albums streamed millions of times, headlined stadiums, nominated for Brit and Mercury prizes and starred in the West End.

There was this ride in the UK in the early 90s that promised a primitive version of VR. You'd get in a machine that looked a bit like a Star Trek shuttlecraft with your mates and it would rock you about while playing a video of a rollercoaster or whatever. Anyone know what these things were called?

This new online store seems cool, a place for UK folks to pick up boutique Blu-ray releases from different labels all in one place

Revisiting 28 Weeks Later for the first time since release to discover that it features Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau, and Idris Elba

Super cool seeing loads of people discover The Return in the wake of Lynch's passing. Simply unmatched TV. Been browsing Greg Ruth's beautiful illustrations that came out after the show - have got quite a few of these as prints and had to stop myself going bankrupt buying the whole lot at the time

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished. Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #goldengirls

Really pleased to say that Lost Map Records are releasing our new album ‘Many White Horses’ on 25th April. It’s a collection of weather-worn acoustic songs and instrumentals. There’s a single out today as well, called ‘A Weight Starts To Lift’. firestations.bandcamp.com/album/many-w... 🌊🌊🌊
