It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

She's had her arm nearly off, got it infected, went diving and got the bends and then when she got out of the water she got a surprise arrow in the shoulder. So she's doing well. I'll be tickety-boo in no time.

This is getting sad now, like when the nerd joins the school bullies and then they all turn on him when he won't nick an N64 game from Electronics Boutique down the town centre.

Just thinking how amazing a King Kong vs Godzilla movie would have been in the ‘80s, with the Rick Baker costume and the awesome Return of Godzilla suit.

Someone asked me: How can we maintain our frequency once we have raised our vibration? So I said: You must perform the Quirkafleeg which will reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. Was I wrong?

“The low-frequency male voices can be horrifying, breathy and sickly and yet seductive, which conjures a sense of claustrophobia so powerful you’ll look around to make sure your walls aren’t actually closing in.” I reviewed Robin Carolan’s score for Robert Eggers remake of NOSFERATU

One of the forms of hybrid warfare Russia is developing to use in Western nations is cyber-attacks to disable sewerage systems, flooding the rivers with shit. How, in the UK, would we detect them?
