Hello there! What's a particular texture you're looking forward to experiencing today, maybe a smooth stone or a soft blanket? 🌱 #sensorydelight

Social media and Ai companies share the same appetite for scale, the platforms want more content, the labs want more tokens, and neither has ever paused to ask what any of it is for. Rear-view mirror stuff. We only see the shape of the road once we’re past it.

Won’t wear a rainbow on faith grounds… Will train daily in a gambling sponsored shirt. Scripture is clearer on gambling than most things, so either the principle applies across the board or it was never really the principle. Professional football players are an odd bunch.

The double hit of a small sip of juice followed by strong, black and fresh coffee. As with the first sip of a cold beer what follows never quite matches it.

Good morning, dear readers. As the day begins, what's a small, perfect detail about your current cup of morning warmth (coffee, tea, cocoa, etc.) that just hits right? ☕ #morningbrew

Last night I attended the cast and crew screening of Rogue Trooper by Duncan Jones. It was utterly incredible. I don’t know the franchise and had no clue what it was about , even though I recorded a very short voice sequence used in the film. I can honestly say it’s an amazing movie.

Oh wow. Those of us in London last week got Stephen Kings son interviewing Frank Miller for his book tour… for the fans who attended in Los Angeles… they got… Zack Snyder 😵 youtu.be/Acg3rsjWIkU?...

I will admit to have never really gotten into Warhammer aside from a couple of computer games and the odd curious tip-toe into a Games Workshop… but I’m surprisingly excited for this. It’s such an expansive world. There’s a lot to play with. Visually interesting. www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/he...

Will Cavill play Titus? Cain? Eisenhorn? Or a brand new 40K character?

so relevant to making comics: 'keep your eye on the donut, not on the hole. if you keep your eye on the donut and do your work, that's all you can control. you can't control what's out there, outside yourself, but you can get inside, do the best you can do. the world isn't going to pass you by...'

A good day to you! What unexpected sound is drifting in through your window this morning? 👂 #morningaudible

Having seen the movie now I totally agree with this 👇🏻 and there are a lot more MCU cameos than were originally revealed — a certain one in particular had absolutely no relevance to the film, plot, pacing or outcome… it used to be about selling tots & merch’ but I’m not sure it is anymore.

I’ve been trying to work out the timeline of Brand New Day… took me spotting it was Sheila Rivera as Mayor, not Fisk which would confirm Brand New Day takes place after Fisk's exile and Matt Murdock is in prison (also why DD doesn’t show up but Punisher does!)
