Well this place is no longer for me. While I decide which (if any) social media feels like home, you can always find me at https://t.co/7rcn1eyI3F

The Lake District is beautiful. Even the hazard signs don’t detract. Here near Sizergh.

Imagine someone asks you to get something from the garage and you see this

Very much hoping this will result in an at least one grainy and ambiguous underwater photo that will keep cryptozoologists happy for another 50 years https://t.co/vkU6udujZR

"You said: The Shining Ones. You said: The Fair Folk. And you spat, and touched iron. But generations later, you forgot about the spitting & the iron, & you forgot why you used those names for them, & you remembered only that they were beautiful"

Fly to Mars, choose a good landing spot, shine your ultraviolet laser on a likely rock, and reveal a rainbow reflection of the basics of life. Ever-closer to answering the question "are we alone?"

I never realised Morph’s final season got so dark

Interesting explanation of why ‘but they saw it on radar’ isn’t a great argument for UFOs/UAPs

[Phil Metzger @DrPhiltill]

Lots of people are telling me that the radar observations make the aviator TicTac observations more likely an advanced vehicle, but tbh the radar observations are my biggest cause for doubt. (I used to be a radar/avionics engineer for NASA for many years chasing such anomalies.)

We wanted to share a funny moment from our #climateactivist activity at the weekend!

A finder of #TheClimateBook didn’t notice @GretaThunberg was right there - as they walked away, Greta said “Enjoy the book!” and they said “thanks” without looking up!

My attempts to stay unknowable by The Algorithms are working…

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

I couldn't resist the meme making urge

[Mark Hood @markhood]

Not going to share it, since there are some changes I’d like to see - but there’ll be a reveal soon!

[Mark Hood @markhood]

Just got the first draft of the cover for ‘Earth Under the Martians’ and it’s a cracker!

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

The Elizabeth Line seems too new to have any ghosts, so perhaps these are St Mark's Eve-style apparitions of those who are yet to die on it

Writing used to be my hobby, when I worked in tech. Now I write, and tech is my hobby. I know the ‘left side/right side brain’ thing is a myth, but this does keep me balanced!

[James Moran @jamesmoran]

This is why it’s important for creatives to have a hobby. When your hobby becomes your job, you need a creative outlet that you don’t need to be good at. I enjoy banging out chords on a guitar, I’ll never be any good, but it’s fun. And that’s what it needs to be.
