Plum Pudding created this amazing cover. 

Disparate Minds returns with the second half of Lagrange Point in this haunting finale from series creator Plum Pudding. Edited by Ostara Gale @wyrdvora and Aristide Twain @aristidetwain. The message follows: There have been casualties. There are the pages, crumpled in June’s pocket. There is the light at the edge of the field, there are the riders, and the killer is walking. There are letters on his knuckle fingers, the television breathes. When the night is gone, everything will have changed. Or perhaps nothing will have…

Plum Pudding is back with another banger; this lovely drawing is hers too!

The Mystery of the House at the End of the World is the latest entry in the Interstellar Sleuth series. Written by Molly Warton and edited by Plum Pudding, Theta Mandel @theangelshavethephonebox, and Aristide Twain, this is a story about dealing with death. When Lotto's friend Gogan passes away unexpectedly, he suspects foul play, and begins an investigation that tears through the lives of all who knew her.

This absolutely swimming artwork was drawn, once again, by the multitalented Pudding made of Plum!

Elliott Parmelee makes his Cheshire debut with a splash! Introducing a new limited series, 'Fish Detective'; find out more on our website. The first installment, Fish Detective, edited by Ostara Gale and Aristide Twain, is a tale as old as time: a fish who is also a detective is drawn into murky waters as he swims towards justice for a dame whose baby was stolen by a notorious mobster. Fishing for information quickly lands him in a tangled net of crime; is this northern pike finally out of his depth?

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

in the next series, the doctor picks up a new companion. they're bright, starry-eyed, and want to help the doctor make the universe a better place.
