I can't recreate here the relevant Twitter account I used to be part of where I posted this, but I can't let bluesky go through a spooky season without sharing this image of a box and label for a reel of tape from the British Library Sound Archive.
Handwritten (in blue pen and block capitals) label on a Sony-branded tape box. "Recording of paranomal voice transmissions by short wave radio frequencies from the land of the soul" and a signature.

It's been so long since I sat down to write anything resembling a "thread" and I've also been out of practice in "opining" anything under my name.

I'm going to write something and we'll see if that Post button gets it out onto my feed here.

My latest cartoon for New Scientist.
First panel: a line of modern electric cars. Second panel: A woman and a man are talking. She is holding a book. She says "It's hard to get excited about these new electric cars when I've seen much ambitious possibilities in fiction" "Sci-fi fan,huh?" he asks Third panel. "Uhh... yeah. Sci-fi." she says unsurely, looking at her book. Fourth panel: We can see a page of the book. It shows animals happily driving food-shaped cars in the style of Richard Scarry. The cars are labelled: Pickle car, Apple car and Hotdog car.

Just came across Kagi's list of initiatives towards the "small web", which btw:

> “small web” typically refers to the non-commercial part of the web, crafted by individuals to express themselves or share knowledge without seeking any financial gain

Rereading Eyeshield 21. It is 2024 😭

After this I wanna look for a girl/womens sports manga!
Manga panel from Eyeshield 21, showing Sena (as Eyeshield 21) lying on his back on the sidelines of an American football field. He looks happy, exhilarated, thinking to himself: "This sure is fun... American football isn't scary at all!"

Galling to me to read so many takes about music journalism not being necessary now because you can just listen to a song and decide if you like it or not. Criticism is about helping the reader understand why it is that they like it, or do not, and connecting the cultural dots of a work's meaning.

An anime still of a pink-haired child with green eyes peering under the table with a magnifying glass. She is dressed in a classic "detective" trope outfit, a brown cape and deerstalker hat. If you're a Spy x Family fan, the child is Anya!
