Two archaeologists stand in a trench looking at an unearthed, fossilised, time machine and a tyrannosaurus skull in whose jaws is a human skeleton holding an aerosol can. One says: “These fossils would appear to suggest that, while Professor Cooper's time machine was a great success, his dinosaur repellent formula was not.”

Hello b-skies. Any tips or tools for managing #freelance work across multiple clients?

We’ve had all the mirrors in the house inoculated against intruder’s faces. To no avail; the strangers return, a little older each morning.
We're set up in the Battle of Trafalgar. We're on a table at back left of the pub. We've got a sign on the table to help you find us. Three of us here kicking things off, please join us!
This Wednesday our freelancers meet up is in the Battle of Trafalgar pub, just up the road from Brighton Station. We'll be there 8pm-11ish, please join us!
Last week 16 people came along: www.brightonfarm.com/2026/meeting...

Chris Barrie as Rimmer in Red Dwarf saying "Oh Smeg!"
Oh no, RIP Rob Grant. One of those comedy writers whose gags live in my mind on a permanent basis.
Happy 49th Birthday @2000ad.bsky.social.
Still Zarjaz after all these years.
We're set up in the Battle of Trafalgar, on the back two tables on the left hand side of the pub. Eight of us here so far, please join us!
Here’s a tip for graphic designers: if you include the “weakest” option in your pitch the client will choose it 9 times out of 10. If you include something you hate they will choose that option. They can’t help themselves. They don’t do it consciously but they’ll do it

4-panel-comic by War and Peas Panel 1: Santa Claus stands on the roof of a decorated house and asks the Grim Reaper, who is on the ground, "Hey! You're coming to this house, too?" Panel 2: The Grim Reaper responds, "Yeah." Panel 3: Santa Claus, still on the roof, says, "What a shame. They're getting a lot of presents." Panel 4: The Grim Reaper, holding a scroll, says, "Let me guess. One of them is a chainsaw."

Recreated BBC1 clock circa 1991
BBC Two Northern Ireland clock
1970s mechanical BBC1 clock

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".
Great culture can save lives. Literally.
