Best guy on the internet youtu.be/ufspO6Xo0p4?...

As philosophies go '...escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.' is pretty fucking great

One of my favorites from Spring 🖤

People shouldn’t die from making comics and also people should be able to live while making comics

What's been happening at Tetrapod Zoology during February 2025? A brief thread. The month started with brief thoughts on the very weird, very FAT book Fatfoot, which is all about the 'marsupial hominoid' hypothesis. Yes, you read that right... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/2/... #TetZoo #cryptozoology

I've been to see Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and I would advise against it. Not strongly, but unless you have to take kids for half term, you can almost certainly do without it.

I didn't post about this earlier, because everything is terrible. But the second part of my interview with Alan Moore is on @flaminghydra.com, and it's something I'm proud of. He talks about the ability of fiction to speak to us across time, and I've been thinking about it ever since.

Movies you've watched more that six times, gifs only.

I will be appearing as a guest speaker at the @culturalfutureshub.bsky.social online event on Sun 2nd March 2025 www.moorereppion.com/cultural-fut...

Okay, with all the new folks on I'm gonna do a proper thread on BLADE MAIDENS and why you should read it! Blaidens is a free fantasy webcomic (www.blademaidens.com) co-created by myself and @valentinemsmith.bsky.social, which will eventually be coming to print through @darkhorsecomics.bsky.social!

Did you dance around the Maypole in school?

Ok, my next @mojomagazine.bsky.social How To Buy is on Drone. It needs to be historical, definitive... educational? 😶 W. Basinski, E. Radigue, Earth, K. Drumm, P. Oliveros, T. Hecker, SunnO)))??? Any help appreciated. What r your fave drone long players? Best submissions will be quoted in the mag.

Watched They Cloned Tyrone and it was absolutely fantastic. They Live, Cabin in the Woods, Shaun of the Dead, Get Out - it's up there with all of them. Highly recommended.

Finally watched Renfield. Started off as a What We Do in the Shadows rip off but ended up a very fun, very daft action horror comedy with loads of 90s Anime type OTT violence, which I very much enjoyed. Cage brilliant, as always.

What if some things were just good and nice?

‘The cancrous cities spread over the grass, they clatter in their lairs continually, they glitter about us blemishing the night. The woods are gone, O Pan, the woods, the woods. And thou art far, O Pan, and far away.’ — Lord Dunsany, ‘The Prayer of the Flowers’ (1915)

Dicen que fue la primera leyenda urbana de la historia. Un demonio que aparecía de noche dando saltos imposibles y que aterrorizó a Londres durante años. Hoy aún se habla de SPRING-HEELED JACK y, aunque no lo sepáis, conocéis de sobra a su más famoso descendiente… 👿 #Hilo 👇

Never not reposting this, the coolest of dudes ever to have done this.

Does anyone remember the C.H.I.P single board computer from ten years back? I've just found mine. It's a Raspberry Pi-like tiny computer. I never really found a use for it, and it's so small that it got lost (in its box) in amongst everything else on my shelf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(c...
