An excellent choice

This took me a minute

A genuinely historic day in music

Hercules: This is bullshit.

Greg Davies: [Pointing to VT of the Augean stables] Yes, literally!

Icarus: Can I fly near the sun?

Alex Horne: All the information is on the task.

Greg: What was the wording on the task?

Alex: Make Achilles invulnerable by dipping him in the Styx. Most invulnerable Achilles wins.

Greg: Dip the baby. The whole baby. They’re not going to hang onto a heel or anything stupid like that.

Alex: First, let’s see Thetis’ attempt.

Greg Davies: Walked out of the underworld. Didn't look back once. Job done!

Orpheus: Thanks

Alex Horne: We did want to show you one more clip of when he came out...

I know I say this fairly often: people are right to complain concerts are too expensive, but they got that way because a lot of artists started to make almost no money out of their actual records. We have to look really hard at how we pay for music.

Greg: I put it to you, Pandora, that your approach to the task of literally just holding a closed box is basically that of - and I've written it down - "a baffled old grandma who can't remember where the top of the stairs is"

Pandora: I did it though!

Alex: We do have one more bit of footage

House to Astonish is always worth a listen, but Al and Paul's post-mortem on the Imperial event, post-event line-up, and Marvel marketing and publishing in general is well worth your time to listen.

Kim sighs. “No, Detective, you cannot.”

This is fair actually, I'm in the same boat

The Aaron Thor and Age of Apocalypse are welcome reprints - they're the kinds of things Marvel should have in print perennially but so often allow to slip out of circulation quickly

People who wanted to vote Green before but were told it was a wasted vote:

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

#TheTenX5 Day 28

23. M83 - Midnight City (2011)

There's a bit in one of Suzy Izzard's shows where she talks about the sound of "punching a baboon". This song has that, except it's tickling. Picture it as you're listening!

The one thing she got properly angry with GlaDoS about was fat-shaming Chell, which does feel a little bit like arresting Capone for tax evasion, but little victories I guess

"She wouldn't be lonely if she stopped killing test subjects" did not, against all odds, help

I showed my 8y/o Portal 2 and for the past couple of nights she hasn't been able to sleep cos of thinking about GlaDoS. But not because GlaDoS is a murderous robot, no. It's because GlaDoS is all alone and must be so lonely. Those familiar with my kid's sweetly macabre mind will see a familiar motif

The band The Police in the studio, saying "Bonjour, c'est la Police ici, comment est-ce que nous pouvons vous aid... oh, c'est Céline comme toujours"

Panel from Marvel Knights 15, by Eduardo Barreto, with Black Widow saying "hold on, what's this?", a computer called Celine saying "I am Celine", Dagger saying "it's Celine" and Black Widow saying "but what is Celine?"

Tfw it's Celine

Every time they do it, we add a syllable to aluminiuminum

Panel from Marvel Knights 15, by Eduardo Barreto, with Black Widow saying "this place isn't in Zagat's guide" and Daredevil saying "maybe we got here on the right night. This could be a meeting of some kind". Black Widow's ass is the centre of the panel

Panel from Marvel Knights 15, by Eduardo Barreto, with Dagger throwing a light knife at a thug. Her ass is the centre of the panel

Panel from Marvel Knights 15, by Eduardo Barreto, with Shang Chi saying "what have you done, Black Widow?" and Black Widow, whose ass is the centre of the panel, saying "I showed him, Shang", as the antihero Bengal lies unconscious at her feet

Panel from Marvel Knights 15, by Eduardo Barreto, with Dagger, who is on all fours, saying "I don't like robots... I don't like guns...". Her tits are the centre of the panel, but her ass is their second-billed co-star

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

He himself was a legend really

Seems legit
