I wonder what happens if I walk in dressed as one of the Blues Brothers and tell them "I'm on a mission for god"?

All thanks to the tireless work of @peterjukes.bsky.social @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social who were ignored for years, and in Carole’s case hounded through the courts for years. I’m glad the PM is at last speaking the truth; but the real heroes surely deserve a Pulitzer!

I had folks several times during the FP Blog days ask why we reviewed more Indie or Small Press than the Big Two. We did review them when a story really caught our eye, but they have coverage *everywhere* , the Indie stuff doesn't. And most of the time it's far more interesting

...he replied that he used to resent talking about it, because reporters ignored all his other work, but years on he was actually now thinking it was nice to have been a part of something that people still remembered and loved years on.

Gareth Thomas once came into my old bookshop, picking up some books for his holiday reading. I said I had heard he didnt like talking about the show much, but just wanted to say it was important to me growing up...

With the release of the third season of #Blakes7 on DVD imminent, here’s my piece in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social about how I came to love my mad old show, in which that season played a significant part:

Sad to see Saint Giles, in the heart of #Edinburgh , now charging visitors to enter this historic building

I see Scots can still enter free, but have to register and prove their residency, so, no thank you, I am not jumping through hoops to visit it

This is pure bad faith from MRM—they are not new to this business and are perfectly aware this is all bullshit. These magazines essentially no longer exist: they were bought simply to use their reputations as a trap to suck IP out of writers and artists who don't know any better.

Dazzle-ships in Drydock at Liverpool, by Edward Wadsworth, 1919. It’s a topic that appears to have fascinated Wadsworth. I love every single one of his takes on the subject.
