I'd be interested in giving it a go. Out of curiosity, how does it handle illustrations? I have a lot of crafting books in epub format that I've struggled with in the past.

I'm going to click through, but let it be known that I am well aware of today's date and therefore already assume there is something fishy going on here. 😛

The only other example I can think of is 'The Simpsons' who did the same for animation and sitcom. But for once, they didn't do it first!

My argument in favour of Pratchett would be that he reinvented Satire, not Comic Fantasy. His blend of humour and pop culture makes the Discworld novels and their serious points accessible as well as entertaining.

Huh. TIL Tony Macaroni is exclusively Scottish. I genuinely thought they were a bigger chain, like the Burger King of pasta or something.

Surely it depends on who you're purchasing from? Some websites have really shitty mobile versions and the 'Desktop Version' button is a slap in the face. If I wanted to use the desktop version of the site, guess what I'd be browsing on?

I feel like I’m seeing nothing but Chalamet, and while I liked his performance in that movie, I think an Oscar is the last thing that guy needs right now.

Also, Michael B Jordan played two different people!!!

Suzi Uno, Suzi Dos and Suzi Tres just don't match my vibe. But Suzi Quatro? There's someone I'll always make time for.

Dear motorists, if you actually want to be "nice" to other road users like cyclists, just follow the Highway Code. That's all there is to it. Seriously.

Pausing the queuing traffic and waving me across is only nice if there aren't 2 busses and 4 taxis passing you in the bus lane on your left.

Total eclipse of the full blood moon is tonight, in case you haven’t checked in on the doom portents lately.

In a recent interview, Cillian Murphy officially spoke out about the reports that he has been cast as Voldemort in HBO's #HarryPotter TV series:

“I’m categorically not. Can you make that the headline?”

Someone in Anchorage’s Fur Rondy Snow Sculpture competition did the giant, snowman eating, tentacle monster from Calvin & Hobbes and I just have to say: they straight up killed it.

Favourite bookshop spotted! Might need to get down to @argonautbooks.bsky.social and see if they've got a copy.

Alternate ending where instead of banishing him to hell or whatever, the Ghostbusters get Vigo the Carpathian into fine dining.

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake

And a happy year of the whores to you all

The first question is about assessing the character of people who want to settle here. If, like me, you're of the opinion that the people who harboured Peter Mandleson for so long are in no position to judge someone else's character, this is a great opportunity to let them know. Just saying.

It only takes about 20 minutes and Amnesty International has a decent guide to help you avoid tripping over the deliberately confusing questions.

Calvin Harris

Never met him as he was either leaving or had left when I started, but it does mean we had the same music teachers.

I've met his parents though. Helped my uncle build a garden fence to stop their puppy escaping, which in turn paid for my ticket to see AC/DC at Hampden that year.

90s British TV character Mr Blobby - a pink humanoid with yellow spots and a bowtie, about 2 metres tall and smiling a rictus grin while his googly green eyes stare both at and around you. For some reason, children loved him.

So I see @edfringe.bsky.social has announced the first batch of shows for 2026. How many have I shortlisted already? Only a couple.

Dozen. A couple dozen. 24 shows have piqued my interest, and it's only February.

Another vote to avoid Wayfair. Got a cheap folding craft table from them and within a year one of the wheels had ripped itself off and a shelf on the door had popped out on one side. Maybe it's a case of get what you pay for, but I still don't rate them. Middle class Temu if you ask me.

Bagpipes are obnoxiously loud and sound like they're being forced to produce music. As an instrument, they were built for saying fuck you. I love them so much.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA
