Jeremy Brett was the best Sherlock Holmes of all time.

I guess I am comfortable saying that in cases where people you formerly respected, or presumed you did, are now actively choosing to sunset their own minds & surrender them to machines invented by incels and billionaires, then yes there should be a stigma for that. This is what society is for

"A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online."

Who knew the death of humanity would take so long It’s supposed to be an asteroid or immediate ice age not the slow poisoning by stupidity Hollywood lied to us!

I visited when I was an undergrad physics student at Manchester Uni. you could do your third-year project AT JODRELL BANK. Sadly, I didn't stick with physics that long. We can't let Jodrell Bank go, though. The history of UK radio astronomy is immense, and Jodrell Bank is a bit part of it

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

Dogpile, the original meta-search engine, still exists, & it works superbly. buff.ly/4B12Knl Google has been intentionally enshittified into uselessness, even if you disable AI junk. I am not paying for search, especially for any outfit using "AI". But this 30Y old site is my new favourite.

At this miserable time in this shambles of a country, Lynch's simple line bears repeating.

Hello everyone! Many of you likely saw this image recently with the Apple TV+ 'Neuromancer' promotion. Some know, others don't, but this artwork is mine, created alongside actor & post-production artist Milton Menezes, as a personal project and a homage to the original Neuromancer romance

The Fandom Post Is Looking For ReviewersThe Fandom Post is currently looking for people interested in reviewing for pretty much all areas, particularly such as anime simulcasts, some home video releases, manga, and comics. With the new winter season, we’re definitely looking to expand coverage there and will fast-track on this area. For anime and manga reviewers, we get a good range of books from publishers and have a bit of a backlog we’re looking to clear out as well while the anime side has plenty of simulcast access and lots of home video releases. There’s a good mix of one-offs and ongoing series that we’re looking for people to take on and new series starting up all the time. We’ve got a good range of reviewers, many of which have been with us for years but are always looking for new voices within our framework. And, if interested, there’s hentai as well. For comic book reviewers, these are more along the lines of non-superhero books such as things from Dark Horse Comics, Valiant, Black Mask, AfterShock, Titan, and Dynamite rather than the big two, though if you have books you’re getting yourself that you’d like to review and have posted, we’re all for that as well. We’re dealing primarily with digital review copies through multiple sources, some of which come to us months before release. So if you’re interested in sampling a wide variety of material, writing cleanly about it and interacting with a growing audience of comic book fans, let’s talk. Send us a sample review done similar to the style of our existing reviews to contact@chrisbeveridge.net and let us know a bit about yourself and what you’re interested in. There’s always crossover potential as well to other areas of the site, but right now we’re focused on getting more manga and comics coverage, and who doesn’t love free comics?dlvr.it

Several whole towns have just had no water at all for days on end over the past year due to really normal things like 'a brief power cut' or 'a warm bank holiday' & we've really got to the stage where 'having privatised water' has a similar outcome to 'war crime/terrorist attack'

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

I'd heard rumors that JCD was in trouble but it's now been confirmed. One of the first-generation tech journalists has gone 404, and we're all a little poorer for it. One of the benefits of working at PC Magazine was getting an advance look at his column before everyone else. Never dull reading.
