What rough beast, its hour come again..

Absolutely. And there's always this sneaking suspicion we haven't actually seen his very best work yet.

Nic Cage has the strangest career ever. Either Oscar nominee or B movie. It's weirdly admirable.

On using AI to create posters in schools: Don't. The kids can tell (it's obvious), and it's basically just openly saying to them "AI is fine to use for your schoolwork"

We're writing the first Willerby novella. It began with the Fields Parts 1 and 2 and it'll go on from there. It involves characters and events from Shortcuts, Ghostspotting and the Willerby Sonics. Read these if you want to be ready for the next installments..

These are selling fast now. We know from last time the last copies go quickly. Only about 30 left now. Last ever chance to own the first Willerby book.

"The people who drink this don't care much about good beer so it won't bother them. Like the madri drinkers."

“You know madri, the shit fake Spanish beer? Let’s draw that guy on our bottle too.”

I actually wouldn't say best in the world as I've got some local breweries nearby that I am more affectionate about. But certainly, along with Black Sheep, the best beet in the supermarket.

This is my 'no.' I don't want a hipster landlord.

@bennewmark.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 5:21 PM

No.

Can someone who understands tech tell me why my UE boom 2 is so good? I've had it nearly ten years. It's been dropped so many times, splashed, kicked around and it still sounds brilliant and the battery life hasn't deteriorated at all as far as I can tell. It's such a great product!

@bennewmark.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:20 PM

I thought this might happen but I'm confident not now.

@bennewmark.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:09 PM

Actually a decent side.

I want us to rejoin the EU and I want them to make a law that makes all fridge magnets that won't hold up, at least, a piece of thick A4 paper illegal.

Our chickens keep doing New Romantic band covers shoots.

A ridiculously fluffy chicken in a cage with its mates all around it.
