But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Show me something more perfect. You can’t x

I feel very attacked

My dad has come to an arrangement with the public pool in Nottinghamshire where he swims: after everyone else has got out of the pool, he is permitted to do a somersault before he gets changed. “THEY OPEN UP THE STORAGE CUPBOARD AND LET ME GO IN THERE SO I CAN GET A GOOD RUN-UP,” he said. Last week my dad, who will be seventy in August, got his friend Malcolm, who is seventy-three, to film the somersault. “It’s shattered all his illusions,” my mum told me. “Until he saw the film he thought he was creating poetry in motion. But it’s really just an old bloke who can’t run fast doing a sideways flop.”

THREAD.

A selection of notes I have made in my notebook about my dad, and the things he does.

1. The Public Swimming Pool

We are 2 days into the crowdfunder and The Deepest Dark is just shy of 50% funded!

Natural selection's doing it's job, it would seem.

Man faces consequences of actions.

I fixed your headline for you!

I've been in the woods.

Despite what my face is doing here, and the cold... it was nice.

I did lean on a tree and it fell down... turns out it was very dead, but I briefly felt very powerful

Springsteen writes a protest song, send it to Tom Morello, says "what do you think, it's kind of soapboxy". Morello replies, "Subtlety is great Bruce, but sometimes you gotta kick them in the fucking teeth". 💙💙💙

Saw Joan Jett speaking out as well. 💙💙💙
Long live Rock and Roll!!!

It is 7:35am.

Having barely slept, I am on a train to London upon which I am bringing tremendous "How's dare you!" energy.

Troublemaker is my middle name.

I need details.

Great tips!

I'll look into these alts!

Just great work, mate.

Lovely stuff.

I'm not saying I've had a weird afternoon.

But I am saying that I have told a stranger "I'm gonn roast a chicken!" to their face three times.

The same stranger.

Jesus Christ.

I migh tnot be able to go back to that M&S.

Hey. Nobody's happy they've got a choke hold on so many things.

I need to learn it's dark arts - I can't get them clean lines in the Photoshop.

YUP!

That's a great design though.

What software are you making this with?

Document this!

I crave updates!

Awful, awful news.

YouTube video by Dana Howl How to Paint Vaporwave Nighthaunt: A Beginner's Guide to Airbrush Glazing and Gradients

Oh totally, that’s exactly why I have more Nighthaunt painted than anything else. I was really struggling with getting them painted up until I found this Dana Howl video and stole the scheme.

If this is your first winter storm, remember four tips: 1. Fill up your tub and/or pots with water for your toilet. 2. Do not use propane heaters indoors. The fumes kill. 3. Everyone staying in one room consolidates warmth. 4. The Norwegian camp didn't destroy itself. One of you is the thing.

Delve into The Deepest Dark From Ella Watts - Delve into The Deepest Dark

It's one week until crowdfunding starts for The Deepest Dark as part of Zinetopia on @backerkit.com, and Zine Month more widely!

In our game, you're asked to play people from the real world, in the real world, who've been trapped underground. You will die in these caves. Find hope anyway. (1/6)

Same.

I can't blame a person, myself included, for getting psyched about new tech. But mercifully we both had the wherewithal to eplore the underlying processes and realise that it's... you know... morally void.

I did better as soon as I knew better is a laudable statement.

It can't "mean" anything.

When it was very new - I tried out one of the image generating apps, I forget which one.

I had maybe four goes.

It didn't make anything worth looking at, and then I read more about how AI works, what it costs and what people who like it are like.

Never looked back.

I put my comic-making advice in a series of free How-To articles on my website (how to break in, how to stay in, economics, pitches, scripts and a lot more):

The goodest of luck.
