Lots of new followers. Hi!
I write all the things, too much to list in a single Bluesky post. Don't believe me, visit antonyjohnston.com 😂
Books, videogames, graphic novels, non-fiction, plus podcasts + music.
I mostly post about writing, sometimes food pics + bad jokes too. Big fan of dogs.

Found this absolute graph crime, where the dot that is lowest apparently has 48 % fail rate!?
#graphcrime #dataviz #ai
"Which AI models hallucinate the most" A graph with a bunch of dots, where "lower is better. Dots are just spread all over the place, on the two axises accuracy and hallucination (how are they even different things) where the lowest hallucination rate is 48 %, which is at the bottom of hallucination

Ironically, the more people turn up to Can You Solve the Murder? Live, the more difficult it is to get a decent photo – as you can see 😅 Thanks to the sold-out crowd at @waterstones.bsky.social Piccadilly last night – signed copies of CYSTM now available in-store!

The NAP COMIX Kickstarter closes TOMORROW so if you've been thinking about pre-ordering my new book please do it soon!

It includes the 1st year's worth of comics from the webcomic, as well as LOADS of exclusive content.

Please take a look here: tinyurl.com/napcomixks

Thank you! (& please share!)
A list of reward tiers from the NAP COMIX Kickstarter DIGITAL - £7, PHYSICAL - £13, SIGNED & SKETCHED IN - £20 What's in the book? 200 pages of wonder, sleep deprivation, heartbreak, joy, surviving and thriving. A 5-panel comic. Panel 1) The 4am feed with Henry can feel very lonely. Panel 2) I try to think of others that are also awake at that time like...nocturnal animals? Panel 3) Students studying for a test? Panel 4) And of course, people doing the same thing as me. Panel 5) When I think about them, I feel much less alone. A 2-panel comic. Panel 1) Caption: A few months ago. Henry is stroking Rachael's face. Rachael: Aaaaa Rob, he's stroking my face! Rob: (off-screen) Aw! Panel 2) Caption: Now. Henry is pulling Rachael's face in very uncomfortable-looking ways. Rachael looks non-plussed.
