WTF! Tell them Tax in the UK is 0% under 12k, 20% upto 50k & 40% for everything above. Even then there’s a ton of ways that it is taken back by the person in tax credits, support etc. People generally get far more out of it than they put in. Even if they’re not sick, they’re educated & safe.

You would think that at some level within global politics there would be at least a layer of good people who are able to put together enough of a team to pull this out. From a purely selfish pov this would elevate them to a stronger position if they cleared out the vile folk above them.

It has been a mix of humour and rage watching the council videos go viral where the other parties are asking them to do basic council work and they are clueless. The vetting must be so poor I’m almost tempted to run for them in my area so I can defect to indie immediately & do some good.

It’s all boss battles 😄 well, boss battles and increasingly more difficult platforming!

That said. Playing 2 hours and stopping is pretty much phase 1 of the Hollow Knight experience. When it grips you again in the future and you find yourself 50 hours in, you’ll question how that happened!

I’m somewhat peeved that I had to google “conservatives Stride” to confirm what I knew deep down was a terrible joke.

You’re right though. Never heard of him. They’re invisible. Which is another slap in the face from a party who has been slapping us for 15 years, as they won’t split the reform vote

Ok weird ask - any window fitting experts in my network?

I have to replace an Espag. I can't remove the current one because the window is held shut and undoing that will mean the window stays open. But I need to know if the replacement should be 20mm, 22mm or 25mm! Its a Duraplex window...

I thought it was Musk 🫣

I created a form for people who review comics on their channel / podcast / blog / site etc to share their details. It's starting to build a bit more now so if you have a platform you'd like to add, please do!

Any media that runs the Tylanol / Paracetamol story instead of the Epstein List should be blocked from your feeds tbh.

On search engines you can “hide this news source”

On TikTok / YouTube you can say “don’t show me this source”

You can blacklist them on your router.

No more culture wars.

Comic PR Contacts People who are interested in covering independent comics on their platform.

If you review indie/self published comics, I am trying to build a contact list and created this form so people can add their platform if they'd like to be contacted: forms.gle/aH5HDSguK2Ay... #comic #review #podcast #youtube #tiktok #blog #vlog

Let that be a lesson to the rest of the alliances!

I hope you had a mini tea party to celebrate?

Hahaha, no way!!

😄 Damn, the inventor of the kettle would be out of ideas too at this point. Hopefully it just randomly fixes itself somehow as the day goes on 🤔

Ah damn, it surprises me how a wire should be “connected” or “not” yet many things are capable of finding an in between 🙃

If there’s no worn or deformed metal on the bottom/inside (by the switch) my last move would be empty it, shake it, whack it & hope 😆

The whack works more than you’d think!

This is hell 😭 as someone replied below, it may need descaling. But holding the button down is a fine short term solution. Otherwise - there’s the American method of microwaving water. Or you could make a lil cauldron setup with a pan, pot & cozy. I can’t survive without tea, not sure if it shows 😅

It has been keeping me sane!! I am writing here and there for book 2 and at some point I have to kick off on writing the story for our next game. I love being busy on this stuff. Even if I also feel extremely tired and achy all the time haha!!

It has always been a battle, options are limited.

Either you release, everyone you know shares it far & wide & it ripples out until it gains a life of its own - which is super rare.

Or you plug away with whatever you can find through your network & hope.

Paid routes are 99% useless/predatory.

Book cover for graphic novel, Nyaegling. A catgirl holds a black sword with gold decorative metal and colourful crystals attached. Behind her is an NB mouse wearing a red scarf and purple shawl. Behind them is a castle and above them the title Nyaegling.

An image of a girl riding a beam of light alongside a sentient ball of light. The title Prismyck is displayed over lines of Cyan, Yellow and Magenta.

On tomorrow’s MGP we mention how promoting work (or an FM preorder code in Kev’s case) sucks!

You feel annoying & repetitive to your regulars.

But mentioning it is the only thing that consistently works 😅

I released a comic & a game this year!

a cartoon shows a sign that says tyrano-vision Alt: Sideshow Bob talking on a big screen to a crowd about his evil plot.

Villains appearing on a big screen to address the masses is such a cliche that the Simpsons ‘did it’ when I was a child.

Now Musk & The Right have reached Sideshow Bob levels of villainy, we could do with our own heroes like Lester and Eliza to thwart them!

Text displayed: An original FA Cup tie against Vampires in 1895/96 which had to be replayed as the pitch was marked incorrectly - however, does count for this list.

I was reading about the ‘Legacy Number’ project at Spurs. Every player now plays with a number on their collar that marks their place in the clubs history. Our latest signing is 898th for example.

They listed which games count & why, then I saw this line 😳

Even if they somehow prevented breaches, there’s no trusting them not to sell the data to third parties. Or for their company to be purchased by someone else who wants to use that data for new things. Anything stored ought to be made unidentifiable until we provide a doctor with a code to see it.

Haha, I assumed there would be an element of survival instincts kicking in but sometimes you have to question the choices made!

We tried a leash and collar but he would get the zoomies and wriggle free 😅

Ginger cat looking very cute and innocent despite his feline tendencies!

It’s rough isn’t it! I let my little guy out & hope he’s quick witted enough to avoid drivers. I live in a slightly more rural part of the UK though. We adopted him as his owners couldn’t afford him & found we need solutions to protect the birds & other wildlife, he has 2 bells on his collar so far!

I’m waiting for the moment my kids are old enough to appreciate ‘corny enough to be good’ as a concept. I have at least 20-30 films for them to watch! Arnie is in a few of them. It’s a shame we don’t really have films like that anymore!

I’m trying really really hard to stop myself being upset by this 😅 in my teens I watched this so many times because a friend loved it. I haven’t seen it in decades but I can definitely imagine it has aged poorly.

“Batman will be meeting with white nationalists in the marketplace of ideas”

It’s so useless they can’t even find convincing reasons to use it in their awful ads. “My Ai didn’t know what food to order me and it didn’t check the weather, so now I’m helplessly eating slop in the rain while the users of ‘good Ai’ are dry across the street” No one lives like that! Let it fail!

His claim that you can’t halt technology seems pretty silly when you consider the investment that went into fads like 3D Film and NFTs. The only concern is having judges on side who are willing to protect the rights of artists. Ai firms should be forced to at least start over with clear datasets.
