Lee Chilld: The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow. Sally Rooney: The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart. Kazuo Ishiguro: After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.

“… without being told”.
As if their designers didn’t grow up on Tron.
Still image from Steven Lisberger’s 1982 film Tron; featuring ENCOM co-founder Dr Walter Gibbs (portrayed by Barnard Hughes (1915–2006)) telling digitization researcher Dr Lora Baines (portrayed by Cindy Morgan (1951–2023)), & programmer Alan Bradley (portrayed by Bruce Boxleitner), that “computers and programs will start thinking and the people will stop.”

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says: "'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

"Empty and peaceful the old house dreamed, with sunlight shifting from room to room and no sound to break the silence, save in one place, where the voices of children could be heard faintly above the rustling of a tree."
A photo of a copy of the 1974 Puffin edition of All But a Few by Joan Aiken. The cover art is by Pat Marriott.

In Bathers (1921), Magritte filters the Cubist tradition through the Cubo-Futurist style he developed with Servranckx. Painted during his military service near Leopoldsburg, the work uses analytical precision to dissolve bodies into geometric planes. #artbots #magritte

“LFO” still sounds incredibly physical. The bass doesn’t just sit underneath the rhythm—it becomes the rhythm, turning a simple electronic pattern into something that feels almost architectural.
