So sad that this is an AI fake.

Fucking AI, what a waste of everyone's time. Evolution is a goddamn marvel on its own, and octopuses incredible without this bullshit.

"Imagine a Friend made me reflect on my own past and I’d really recommend it for Young Adults or anyone navigating their own friendships. It is an entertaining read, made all the more delightful by the humour that only Quantick can deliver."

This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.

Symptoms of middle-age I'd not have anticipated in my 20s:
1. Going off (a huge amount of) classic rock.
2. Finding it even harder to cope when confronted with the suffering of animals.
3. Thinking of 9pm as a totally reasonable bedtime.
4. Still wanting to climb trees & explore abandoned buildings.

Today is the 3rd slopiversary of us having to temporarily close submissions. The problem of "AI"-generated submissions hasn't gone away and is still a huge waste of our time. House policy remains the same: #noAI stories, translation, art, or anything else.

Valentine’s Day is an important and profound time to imagine how much chaos an armed boy toddler with wings would cause, and be grateful that he’s not real.

After 22 years as a letterer, I now only have enough regular lettering work to keep me busy for 2 days per week. So if you’re staffing a new project, please keep me in mind as your letterer! Or request me via your editor! Recent clients include DC, Marvel, BOOM, Dark Horse, 2000AD, etc.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Scene is a spoof TV news item. The NEWSREADER is talking to camera from behind the desk. 

NEWSREADER:
Now, here to discuss the smartphone ban in schools…

We have with us, YouTube Shorts.

[Pull back to show an anthropomorphised version of the YOUTUBE SHORTS screen, sat in the interviewee's chair across from the newsreader]

NEWSREADER:
Good morning. 

YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Hi

NEWSREADER:
You Tube Shorts, you work in education...

YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Yes.
I work in schools across the country teaching Epic Dance
Fail, Try Not To Cringe Challenge and Al Slop.

NEWSREADER:
And will the proposed phone ban limit your ability to do your job?

YOUTUBE SHORTS:
No.
I'll still be on all school laptops because YouTube is vaguely educational and Google have made me impossible to turn off.


NEWSREADER:
So children are being asked to do their homework on...

...the most advanced distraction machine ever created?

YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Well-
I think a more constructive way to frame that question might be:

Can IShowSpeed jump over a moving Lamborghini?

[The newsreader silently looks at the screen on YOUTUBE SHORTS's front, where a YouTuber jumps over a Lamborghini. This continues for an awkward beat]

NEWSREADER:
Woah.

NEWSREADER [returning to awareness]:
What were we talking about?

YOUTUBE SHORTS [pointing at the next Short which has appeared on its own front]:
Look at this fat dog.

[ends]

I like the govt's plan to ban smartphones and social media in schools but nobody's mentioned the glaring hole in it

Seems like a good time to reshare my Radio Four Infinite Jest documentary. We tried to make it so it gives you a decent idea whether or not you'd like the book.
