When my mum took my then 4 year old brother on a long flight to Canada, what he wanted for entertainment was 1. The Lego catalogue and 2. A cassette of dad dad describing page by page the Lego catalogue

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow.
Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow
AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

My hometown has Britain’s oldest operating cinema, with art deco interiors and can-can legs… but I always went to the Odeon. It’s on the seafront because a plot with a sea view clearly suggests is a windowless structure which is about as ugly as it could be. It’s still there and I remain fond.

They probably just exist in uk stores, but Lidl’s knock of Jaffa cakes are superior in every particular to the on brand version. Milka’s version/flavours stocked in Polish shops are good too.

Me too, I think one of the most important and best books on art (in the broadest sense) there is!

Starting a lovely book I got for Christmas. It was on my Waterstones wish list in hub AND pb and I still remembered to get it so it’s just as well someone else got it for me

I’d settle for someone else directing them and he can still write the scripts. That way the cheesy hammer horror monster makeup he seems to think every creepy tale needs adding could at be shot better.

Why does Mark Gatiss always get to do the Ghost Stories for Christmas now? The first few of the 2000s revival, like Peter Harness’s A View from a Hill and the new Oh Whistle by Neil Cross were great! Gatiss might be good at some kinds of horror but ghost stories ain’t one of em

I made a nightlight for my niece to go with the copy of The Children of Green Knowe I'm giving her... I just need to replace the candle effect tealight with a steady light one because it currently looks like I've made her a tiny housefire diarama featuring junior victims/perpetrators at the window.

I only just got it so haven’t had a proper read yet but it has loads on the tv version as well as the book (and the other adaptations too) so looking forward to diving into it very much

Term, I mean work, has finished for the year so my childhood reading tells me it’s time to get on a train to a big old house in the snowy countryside and have an adventure…
Two tribute covers to two snowy books.
