@jami-jam.bsky.social #animals #love #nature I love animals of all kinds. I believe the Golden rule applies to more than humans, but all living things. All animals were created for a purpose. Preserve-protect and their habitats. For what is man without the sound of birds singing and all animals.

Ask me for a list of authors to read if you want to write great horror and Joe Lansdale will be on that list. If you ask me for a crime list, Lansdale will be on the list. Great dialogue? Joe. Pacing? Lansdale. Wild shit that sounds like no one else? Joe Fucking Lansdale.

The first time I saw Dick Powell in a movie, he was playing Philip Marlowe. Suddenly I could relate to all those Connery fans who gag at the sight of George Lazenby.

Since then, Powell’s wit has grown on me. CRY DANGER (1951) played the noir fest last night and it was fantastic. One to seek out.

I’m looking for someone with graphic design skills to help me put together a Kickstarter page for a comic book. Nothing crazy fancy but I want it to look professional. While I don’t have a huge budget, I can pay. Please let DM me if you or anyone you know might fit the bill.

#OtD 11 Sep 1973 right-wing general Pinochet launched a coup against the elected left-wing government in Chile of Salvador Allende. Backed by the US and UK, Pinochet went on to torture, jail and kill 10,000s of working class activists stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8360...

My first reaction too.

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Jeremy Clarkson @JeremyClarkson We paid for Angela Rayner’s education. We paid her wages when she worked for the local council. We paid her wages when she became an MP. We even paid the settlement that enabled her to buy a house. Tax payers have funded every aspect of her entire life. 12:59 PM · Sep 5, 2025 · 1M Views

I like bits of the White Stripes. I'm probably Team Jim Diamond. But I can pour sugar over his statement here. Climbs up the stepladder, megaphone in hand and says it all. Big hands all round.

The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

back in 1947, there was a book called All-Negro Comics #1. It was the first comic by and for black folks, and thanks to the efforts of @chrisrobinson.info & crew, it's coming back from Image Comics this fall. I wrote a little bit about it. I'm very stoked.
