We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

★★★★ A chronicle of deaths foretold: Sarah Pinborough's psychological thriller #Insomnia on Channel 5 is cluttered but compelling writes Adam Sweeting - stars Vicky McClure, Leanne Best, Tom Cullen theartsdesk.com/tv/insomnia-...

Insomnia, Channel 5 review - a chronicle of deaths foretold

A mixture of legal drama, medical mystery and psychological thriller with creepy supernatural overtones, Insomnia sometimes seems to be trying to cram too much in, but it’s well worth sticking with it...

Whoa.

That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.

With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

There may (or may not) be tickets left for my Extremely Extreme Wild Card Worldbuilding Workshop at the London Festival of Writing this weekend. Not a particularly helpful message, but if you’d like to shout things at me in a small room while I note them down on a whiteboard, pop along.
