    Eclipse 2024

    Best of luck to everyone chasing the solar eclipse tomorrow. I hope the weather behaves. If you are close to the line of totality, it is definitely worth making the effort to get there. I blogged about how awesome it was back in 2017 (see: Pre-Eclipse Post, Post-Eclipse

    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

    Imponable Interlude

    Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.

    What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?

    This is one of the craziest things that I have ever tried to write and is a consequence of me having rather more unstructured free time than usual for the last week.

Breaking News... But not as you know it · 9:49pm Jul 8th, 2015

Fans of Breaking News and Weather should take a look at this quality page from Quill Scratch. The latest installment of his increasingly fascinating project, Last Kisses.

They'll be back together in a week.

Now, where is the science and technology section...

Aww, you shouldn't have... :twilightblush:

But seriously, it made my day (well, night; I was literally just checking my fimfic feed before heading to bed!) to see this. So far, Last Kisses has gotten so much more positive a reaction than I could have hoped for, and I'm just hoping that, when I finally manage to finish them, the next few chapters won't disappoint.

Thanks so much, for this and, of course, the inspiration! This certainly wouldn't exist without Breaking News and Weather.

Now let's just hope nobody points out the typo... :trixieshiftright:

"Yes? What is it?"

I like the page. The page design is good and replicates Metro well. IRL it's never a good sign when a paper is running an ad on the front page BUT this isn't real and I chuckled at the ad. Good to see Flim and Flam supporting print publications (ads like that are not cheap)...the expose still runs Monday.

No problem. I was impressed by this. The little details, the journalist tone, the way it has its own style but keeps the look and feel of the show. You can imagine such a paper littering the seats of the Friendship Express, and the Ponyville - Canterlot commuters gossiping about such stories. OK, I'm biased.

Flim and Flam's business must be doing well.
