Just to lighten the mood, here's an extremely weird illustration I saw in a science book in the charity shop this lunchtime that I can't stop looking at

Anna thinks she's such a big piece in the game, but really she became incidentally important because she didn't understand boats #TheTraitors

Secondly over on R4 their sketch show ‘DMs Are Open’ is back for a new series, it has a slightly revised format now, but it’s still open to new unagented writers. It’s a brilliant place to get your first writing credits if you can write comedy sketches. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

Wore a pair of day-of-the-week pants on the correct day today so yes you could say I've got my life together this new year

Not terribly hot take on AI-generated social media users: it boils down to the decoupling of 'business' from 'customers'. Businesses used to have to have customers buying things, or they'd fail. Most tech businesses are supported not by selling things, but by an endless torrent of venture capital.

Just done the annual rewatch of Muppet Christmas Carol and I know Scrooge is supposed to be a miser, but I'd love to be at a stage of wealth where I have so many dressing gowns that I can single out my 'best' one

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

Seconding this! Couldn't quite believe how busy it was (maybe writers aren't all cave-dwelling gremlins after all), but it was lovely to meet new people and catch up with others 🎄

Thinking of starting a new band where I scream the top ten things my deeply personal struggles taught me about marketing and finance. We're going to be called LinkedIn Park.

One day I would love to wake up in a way that doesn't feel like I've been forcibly pulled back from the brink of death by a particularly passive aggressive necromancer

I feel far too old to be starting again with a new social media platform, but here goes: I'm a kids non-fic editor and writer of all sorts (mostly funny things) who mainly posts about comedy, TV, publishing, and medieval stuff Please follow me so I'm not lonely on here 😢

Because it still means so much to me, here's a one-page comic me and Andreas Butzbach made a few years back during lockdown. Please give it a read and maybe a share. I'd still love to continue their story or find an avenue in comics to tell more stories like it. #comics
