    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.

For some reason Rarity's mention of the Haypacking district made me think of the made-in-Manhattan artwork by Banksy: The Sirens of the Lambs. A slaughterhouse truck of cute cuddly animals driven though the Meatpacking district of New York.

Our community has certainly produced work which corrupts children's toys in even more dark and sinister ways. But I can't think of any pony artist or writer who has quite reached Banksy's level of political acumen.

How many of you, upon hearing of Dismaland, paused and reflected in shame and rememberance.

Hm. Makes me want to write a story called Sanctuary, where Twilight Sparkle dreams that a stuffed bear flees to her castle in the hopes of evading his disassembly at the claws of griffon children, while Gilda is sent to bring the stuffed toy back.

The contrast between reality and fantasy is a harsh one.

And to think some people say art is dead.


I'm sorry, but what does Banksy have to do with Ponies?
