Every day I see people posting enthusiastically online about films and musicians/groups that I don't like. I just scroll past and let people enjoy what they enjoy.

Like, the very first rule of doing anything at all creative is *you have to give a fuck about it*

Using genAI is proof you don't.

I do a few hours of writing out of the house every Sunday. Every Sunday morning I realise I've forgotten to plug my slightly knackered laptop in overnight, and it won't work plugged in. Then I remember that I can just use my Supernote as a little typing machine. Is it charged? No. I'm a professional

Oh, I suppose it's possible that I'm just not in a good mood. Always worth considering.

A couple of things before I post this 1) sorry if it's kind of depressing, 2) I hope it doesn't expose me as a psychopath or similar.
If you're having a hard time with something, does it make you feel better to learn that other people are also having a hard time with the same or similar things?

Woke up to the Covid enquiry basically saying that it was all no-ones fault and that everyone is misremembering it as being really bad, actually. Also, Trump casually throwing out death threats. Normal Friday in 2025.

Postie just gave me this. Lovely to see my story The Shadowman Incident (with artist Ryan Kelly) in print. It's a very good looking little book from @dreamtheater360.bsky.social and @z2comics.bsky.social

I am waking up this morning to multiple people telling me Google's Gemini is amazing at creative writing. It's not. In fact it's complete shit. Please join me for a short thread, will you?

Humans do it, monkeys do it, even polar bears do it. Now researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary origins of kissing.

The mouth-on-mouth kiss likely evolved >21 million years ago, in a common ancestor of humans & great apes.
