Oh very nice

Many months ago, Ram hit me up to ask if I'd consider unretiring for one last thing.

I asked him what he had in mind.

He'd decided not to renew at DC, and said he wanted to step away from superheroes, as well as just monthly DM comics.

I thought it over.

I said yes.

Bank of England Warns of Impending AI Disaster The Bank of England has sounded the alarm, warning of an intensifying risk of a "sudden correction" due to an AI spending frenzy.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Step behind the scenes of the trailer for Supergiant’s 'Hades II,' full game out today. London’s The Line shares exclusive artwork and reveals how they brought Melinoë’s mythic journey to life, from ritual-inspired combat to lush, hand-crafted textures.

Very exciting!!!

I will always quote @dorwright.bsky.social with “there are Disney villains who went over cliffs for less than what abuela did.”

Kier Starmer is very much the Neville Chamberlain of our time. Appeasing. Giving away any moral ground in the hopes of delaying what may come further down the line. Morality and decency sacrificed at the altar of populism and the hope of holding on to any modicum of power/control. Spineless.

Suzanne Harrington: The UK's treatment of Graham Linehan and Kneecap is a study in contrasts "Unlike Linehan, in court charged with harassing a trans teenager and smashing their phone (this was before he urged his online followers to physically attack trans people), Mo Chara’s ‘terrorist’ cha...

This is good;

"Minister of Hypocrisy Wes Streeting"

"So there we have it. One Irish person is charged with ‘terrorism’ in a UK court for speaking out against violence, while another Irish person is being held up as a victim of unfree speech for speaking out in favour of violence."

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans.

What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.

Oh my god

I'm so happy for you both.

So, so happy.

Land’s End: Michael Eckett on John Constantine: Hellblazer #5 By Michael Eckett I’m silently sitting on the floor of my infant daughter’s room at 2am as we try (again) to get her to sleep and I’m concerned that this is the point where this piece has clicked i…

Jonathan Sacerdoti: Greta Thunberg should thank Israel for intercepting her Gaza selfie ship

Brendan O'Neill: Greta Thunberg’s narcissism has escalated to terrifying levels This is a self-serving stunt masquerading as a daring act of charity

Julie Burchill: Greta Thunberg’s pathetic Gaza voyage

Suzanne Moore: Left-wing activists like Greta Thunberg care more about fame than facts Her vacuous Gaza ‘mission’ is typical of the way selfie-obsessed protesters flit from one cause to another without studying the detail

These people have to account for the deep hatred and revulsion they feel when watching others act out of sincerity, courage and compassion. It threatens and bewilders them, so they must explain it away as something they recognise and understand: moral vapidity and self-absorption
