Oli Davis talks about how Big Daddy VS Giant Haystacks dominating World Of Sports kept younger good wrestlers out, and he's not wrong:

Chloe asking Oli "so how would wrestling be done as a 2000AD Future Sport strip" and getting an answer of the robo-wrestler forced to lose has my wallet going "yes yes give me this"

And that's without the issue that you have to both go This Is New Easy Continuity _and_ Here's OId Stuff That Still Counts, especially since you don't want to end the ongoing Green Lantern and Batman plots - they're your big sellers!

Notably the "micro-lines" (as one blog coined them) of Absolute DC, Ultimate Marvel, and Energon Universe are pulling this off much better because there's only a half-dozen at most comics and you can focus on quality more easily, while doing fifty-two new comics at once, you CAN'T.

I remember J'Onn in Stormwatch #1 being said to be a JLA guy and then in #6 "uh so when we said that, ACTUALLY--" because some hurried notes had come down from editorial

hearing someone talk about the New 52 run at DC being their intro just reminds me that A) That really did boost DC's sales, having a big "GET IN NOW WE HAVE ALL-NEW COOL STUFF" was a good business idea B) God, what a mess! And that mess blew all the business gain

Amazon Prime has put them in some really mood-breaking places in Invincible, a show they make and should be able to figure a better place out!

(It's been a while since I was in school and might be out of date, but when I was in there were kids who were from different faiths and got out of RE class because of it)

Faith schools would also surely include the Church of England's thousands of primary schools, since they're very clear God is real, have a thousand hymns at assembly etc and they seem to generally work with secular oversight (and also AFAIK can't block you if you're not C of E)

I can't stop thinking about the VJ day memorial, when 104-year old Yavar Abbas, a veteran of the 14th Army's Burma Campaign interrupted proceedings, visibly emotional, to salute "his brave King".

And men like Jenrick believe his face tells you everything you need to know about his "integration".

Raises the thought, would the events of Phantom of the Opera be a fixed point in time that the Doctor can't rewrite?

(And if someone is extremely religious and believes it's their religious duty to wear something, that's not my business any more than any other religious practice that I would never do but am not being asked to)

This fundamentally makes no sense to me: if the justification is to help women forced into it, why are they the ones in trouble? The best thing for a victim forced into something is that they'll have an easier time to reach out for help, how does this do that?

This is the big liberal thing, what's supposed to also be part of our national character, "well as long as they're hurting anyone, it's not my business". And there can be conflict there, but another model is "burqa's are oppression of women so we're charging the women with a crime".

Oh no! Kemi Badenoch's been replaced by her alternate-reality counterpart that leads the Rejoin Party and nobody's noticed!

2-panel SMBC comic update. The first panel has a narration box saying "Caveman" where two cavemen are looking out at the ocean. One says "us not know what on other side of ocean." The second panel has a narration box saying "Caveman Physicist" where the same caveman now says "Past ocean... Science breaks down. Is Ocean singularity" as the other caveman marvels.

When biologists can't explain cubic wombat poop, why don't THEY call it a singularity?

not about race or ethnicity, but "from dysfunctional societies" which we're clearly meant to pick up as certain countries that have a certain race or ethnicity. Right, sure Daisley.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

"Jenrick says that he is not talking about β€œskin colour”. But he clearly is, because he cannot tell just by looking at people during a 90-minute stay somewhere whether or not they speak English"
