Watching Dan Snow’s programme about Machu Picchu; all these human sacrifices found around the area makes me wonder if future archaeologists discovering the remains of some serial killer might assume twenty first century society were up to all sorts of superstitious shit.

Surprised how much I enjoyed Predator: Badlands. And IMHO it did a far better job at creating a believable alien character and planetary ecosystem than Avatar did. Make up and prosthetics - it’s the future, kids.

Have just joined Instagram, where it turns out all my friends and family have been hanging out having a great old time. Unlike me, here on BlueSky (AKA Diet Twitter), waiting for the misery to stop!

Just forwarding this as a reminder that supporting your local, independent bookshops is an objectively good thing to do. 📚
Dear friends. I’ve done something different launching Legenda by targeting independent bookshops. I didn’t drive all sales to Amazon. So I’m relying on those of you that are reading it to share reviews & spread the word. I want this book to be supported by readers, not algorithms.

As a driver I’m increasingly of the opinion that if the law requires car owners to pay for insurance, then insurance costs needs to be regulated by law.

Wealth literally sent one character insane!!!

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"
"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

Neutrinos are the second mot common subatomic particles in the Universe, after photons.
You live in a photon-and-neutrino universe.
Hold up your thumb.
100 billion neutrinos are passing through your thumbnail every second.
8 1/2 minutes ago they were in the centre of the Sun.

This is the rare K1 Hull Cream Phonebox inside Telephone House on Carr Lane. It still has its phone fitted. The only other one in Hull is in Trinity Market but it's phone has been removed. There are only 8 K1's left in the UK including these 2

I only ever heard second-hand from my German relatives what the 1930s were like but it sounded like this. You see the story, it feels wrong, but everyone else around you is just carrying on, shopping, working, going to the cinema. So you do the same. Keep your head down, maybe this is fine? Normal?

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.
