Also the last two lines - 'You with your light meter and relaxed itinerary,/Let not our naive labours have been in vain!' - are pure Nigel Blackwell. Another giant of language.

Was coincidentally reminded of the existence of this last night, so putting it up for National Poetry Day. What an amazing thing. www.poetrybyheart.org.uk/poems/a-disu...

Well, it took them three seasons, but Hulu finally produced an all-time classic episode of Futurama (“The White Hole”). Surprising, original and hilarious. Good news, everyone.

As well as the Usborne paranormal ones, a Guinness World Records book about dangerous animals, which had loads of lurid stories of people being eaten. Couldn’t put it down.

I find that "Kum Ba Ya" destroys most earworms, and then, politely, doesn't hang about itself. But that could just be me. Bon chance!

Stunning creepy Signalman artwork here, but be warned it doesn’t give you sleepless nights (thanks @gralefrit.bsky.social)

Study.com features a helpful analysis video of #signalman that I've never dared watch, because I can't get past the *magnificent* thumbnail that greets you on the front page. I mean, that's just nailed the eery, spine-shredding terror of the piece perfectly, hasn't it?
Thumbnail for an analysis video of "The Signal-Man" by Charles Dickens. A cartoon signalman stands on the railway tracks, smiling gently to himself. Behind him, a ghost is erupting out of the tunnel going "Woo".

Tár is on in five minutes on BBC Two. It’s a masterpiece and Cate Blanchett is astounding in it. Modern parable, black comedy, fable about the power dynamic and - yes - ghost story. Treat yourself.

Ally is great and this will be well worth 99 of whatever Earth currency you decide to use purchasing it.

I guess I am now a HYBRID AUTHOR: here's my first foray into self publishing (on the micro scale!) with LONDON WEIRD, a three-story collection about cosmic, Weird and haunted London. The ebook is 99p / 99c / free on Kindle Unlimited 🖤
Copies of LONDON WEIRD in a paper box: it's a slim collection with black cover and a map of London with a pink/purple ombre fade in the centre.

But yeah, agreed, H.R. Giger would never have given us Horrid Eyeball Octopus without making him out of human vertebrae and cables

I like the way one character said something like "A highly intelligent creature!" when he's literally 50% eyeball, 50% legs.

Horrid Eyeball Octopus is the undisputed Baby Yoda-style breakout star of Alien: Earth. Just enjoying as much as I can of the little fella before we get a trilogy of spin-off movies detailing his origins

Another northern William here. Everyone at school shortened my name to Will, and I kept it because I felt I'd earned it. I never liked or trusted William as it presumed a lot and had too many syllables in it. Can absolutely see the logic.

Can we get Xzibit to host "In Our Time"? He was great on "Pimp my Ride" in the 2000s. Come on, Radio 4.

The only Kings I respect are the King in Yellow, King Rollo and Mark King of Level 42. So I’ve written to all of them
