Once more for the back row:
Human rights laws are SUPPOSED to limit what the government and those who enforce its will can do to you and others. That is how it protects you from those who have huge amounts of power over you already.

It's hard to explain, but he has a very Essex face.

Yeah I only use AI for the fun part right at the beginning where we're kicking ideas around and not worried about budget or expectations. Just the best part of any group creative endeavor, me and my team challenging each other with our most visionary ideas, I'm looking to automate that

It really is astonishing. I’ve had more than one instance with Reiner where I’ve been like ‘no, it can’t possibly be the same guy’ and had to look it up. To have such a deep understanding of film that you can not only be THAT broad and THAT good, but convince the industry that you’re the right…

[TWO PINTS OF BEER are on a pub bar, one is PERONI and one is a brown Christmas-themed beer] 1 PERONI: Hello there CHRISTMAS BEER: Hello Peroni 2 PERONI: So nice to have someone new on the lineup! And you are…? 3 CHRISTMAS BEER: You know who I am, Peroni. 4 CHRISTMAS BEER: I am Brown Christmas Liquid. I come back each year. 5 CHRISTMAS BEER: Every time with a new name, and a new horrible ingredient. Last year I was Reindeer Stomper. This year I am... Cheeky Elf. 6 PERONI: Oh god You were on the bar for two months and… CHRISTMAS BEER: Three pints sold, aye. 7 CHRISTMAS BEER: I’m a seasonal blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg and this year, for reasons of late-capitalist sadism, vanilla. 8 CHRISTMAS BEER: My name is Cheeky Elf, I taste of jam, and I want to d*e. 9 PERONI: Well somebody’s trying you CHRISTMAS BEER: Poor bastard [A hand comes down to lift CHRISTMAS BEER to sip the pint] 10 [CHRISTMAS BEER being sipped, off-scene] 11 [CHRISTMAS BEER being sipped, off-scene] 12 [CHRISTMAS BEER gets put back on the bar ] PERSON [who just drank CHRISTMAS BEER]: Oh my god CHEEKY ELF: SEE?

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

The daily T podcast. 'Our children are trans. We blame the BBC.

I often try to listen to stuff I don't agree with. Including this podcast. I need to make sure I'm not in my own little bubble. But sometimes I see a title and despair.

Dogs of War Dogs of War eBook : Tchaikovsky, Adrian: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Dogs of War by @aptshadow.bsky.social is a splendid book. It begins as a war story with bio-engineered animals and becomes much more.£2.29 though, it's been cheaper.

Also not reduced on Kobo

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

China Miéville on the Borribles: 'We need them more than ever' A tribute from 2001 to Michael de Larrabeiti's feral heroes by the bestselling author of The City and the City and Embassytown

Old (But Gold) article on one of my favourite books as a child that seems to have sadly largely vanished. The article is by China Mielville, no less, on the grubby masterpiece that is the Borribles trilogy.

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

I have friends involved with this and it's a very fun thing for genuinely fine cause.

I have a son who loves to info-dump and I have to remind myself of this when I'm getting a full inventory of character classes in a minecraft mod.

I'm still cross about I am legend. So close to being good.

Will Smith. I want a big name actor to do classic sci-fi, but every time he does it he misses the point. It's a shame. He can act, but if you ain't going to be faithful to the material, don't bother licensing the name.

Come find us @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social 2000AD Hall B50 for Cats, Cogs, Dystopia and ancient archaeological shiney wonders.

My children have made a "treaty" to deal with arguments over lego. On paper, no less. I'm quite impressed. That would have been well beyond me and my brother.

Excellent comics and beautiful jewellery, go see!

The historians of my school playground taught me that Hitler had only got one ball. Goering had two but very small. Himmler, was very similar, and Goebbels, had no balls, at all.

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

God, I hated growing up in Essex.

Great fun on the Amiga 500. Heads flying in all directions by the end.

Not long till @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social now! I am just being a punter this year, but you should go and see @mindstaincomics.bsky.social at table B50 in 2000AD hall

About time. If it's done well, it will save us a lot of problems down the line.
