Arsenal should buy out Brewdog considering they're good at bottling things.

My God this year's been a big steaming pile of absolute fucking shit, hasn't it?

A friend reminds me that Alan Keyes (vs Barack Obama) is the basis of the Crazification Factor, a political theory that 27% of the population is unwaveringly committed/irredeemably insane. Coined by writer Tyrone Finch in discussion with writer John Rogers on his blog Kung Fu Monkey in 2004.

Foz Meadows: real talk, the most dangerously emotional people in the world are men so obsessed with being rational that they consistently mistake their own feelings for objective logic, on the basis that believing in rationality makes their feelings guided by rationality and thus infallible

Here:

That's just how bad things are in modern Britain. Even the thieves have no hustle left.

There's certainly a good argument for it.

🧵/ With tactical voting ever more common, who do voters back when only two parties have a chance in their seat?

Con 31% v Ref 24%

Lab 35% v Ref 31%
Lab 29% v Con 28%

LD 41% v Ref 29%
LD 34% v Con 26%
LD 29% v Lab 21%
LD 26% v Grn 25%

Grn 42% v Ref 27%
Grn 37% v Con 29%
Grn 30% v Lab 20%

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

We're not seeing projected MP numbers much these days either as this is pretty much "Hung parliament" territory.

Year of the Horse?

I say thee Neigh.

My colleagues have heard neither the Pancake Song NOR of Maid Marian and her Merry Men. Speechless.

How to make pancakes the british way:
Step 1: remember it's pancake day
Step 2: work all day because you are a cog in the capitalism nightmare machine
Step 3: Too tired to make pancakes
Step 4: no pancakes for you

Counselor: These feelings of "everything sucks," how long have you had them? Butt-head: Uhh, since everything started to suck, I guess.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

For some reason the X-Men animated series theme fits perfectly with the Garfield and Friends intro.

holy shit. hell of an analysis

Blue skies now.

Stupid country.

Thunder. Bloody thunder. And now heavy rain and very grey skies.

Stupid country.

Funnily enough...

It's mad that I was able to buy new Spidey issues up to 2 months later off the shelf at that point. Apparently they were low print run so either not low enough or demand was much lower. Ah well - the pre-1980 stuff was always going to set me back.

No food for a month, then?

A Daily Mail news headline asking if Andrew will become the first royal to go to prison.

Oh, Daily Mail, never let history get in the way of a dramatic headline.
“Will Andrew become the first royal to go to prison?”
The Tower of London would like a word.

I probably shouldn't have started watching Small Prophets just yet...

FA Cup? Never heard of it. Sounds daft.

Just get a wintry week out the way and then it's practically Barbecue weather.

Nice Sunday afternoon walk, anyone?

"We want Spidey to evolve and move forward by re-marrying his "wife" of 20 years worth of older comics."

🤦

I am again amused by comments sections that support the idea of Spider-Man getting fresh new writers that were never part of the BND+ Brain Trust era, but also support the necessity of having Peter and MJ back together permanently. Pick a lane.

"I'm 40 years old; I can't be dealing with this" is such a mood

I can't take the term "White Erasure" seriously as it sounds like a fascist synth-pop cover group.
