Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

Is Monster Squad the earliest example of setting up an Edgar Wight style meta joke?
The kids ask what if Wolfman falls out a window onto a bomb, only for (spoilers) it to happen later.

My weird interest in UK power generation notes that today is an entire year since we last used coal to make electricity. It's been practicaly zero since 2019 but always a little bump just to keep things warm but for 12 whole months its been zero.

A graph showing the sources of UK electricity from 2021 to 2025. one is a steeply declining red line from 16GW in 2012 to currently zero.

A cartoon from my new book, 'Physics for Cats'. Out next week: www.tomgauld.com

A scientist stands in front of an enormous contraption
"I created this device to test my theory that our entire reality is a simulation, but the readings I'm
getting suggest something much worse"

"What?" Asks a second scientist.
"We're living in a cartoon!" Says the first.
"Does it at least have a good punchline?" says the second.
The fiorst scientist carefully looks over the data, then eventually replies "Nope"

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hands
And grisly ghouls will take a chance
To put some cobwebs on your pants

And though the fear is on your face
Your eyes, just endless flickers
No mere mortal can resist
The cobwebbed bat-shaped knickers

Remembering the time this sponsored advert popped up on Facebook, and at first I thought it was for Halloween knickers.

Today marks the seventh anniversary of the Saudi state-sponsored murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

As comedians perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, we urge them to publicly call for Saudi authorities to free unjustly detained Saudi dissidents, journalists, and activists.
