I just think people have kind of baked it in that somehow that was the democrats and labour doing that.

And while there were minor nods at it (Starmer taking the knee, Democrat pols using latinx) it was never really anything other than Twitter “activists”. But in peoples memory it’s “the left”

A sci-fi writer got meta about gender. The internet responded by ruining her life. Isabel Fall’s sci-fi story “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” drew the ire of the internet. A year later, she’s still picking through the wreckage.

I’m reminded of seeing the “I identify as an attack helicopter” beef spin out live and being heartbroken when Isabel was outed and ended up getting into a dysphoria spiral as a result of attacks on her…but the people who did that weren’t mainstream left politicians!

My sense here (and we can now see the reverse with twitter being fully Nazi) is a lot of people in the “twitter was mainstream” era had the experience of seeing that kind of beef & that felt like massive pushback to them.

Obviously the funny thing here is the value of the assorted crypto bribes is far more, but the optics of “have a gold bar” are just spectacular.

Just incredible we’ve reached the stage where he’s taking literal bars of gold to make decisions. Like a cartoon supervillain!

The long awaited time lapse of how i wrap my tentacle pots for shipping! Lots of bubblewrap around all the limbs then layered up to make a big ball and then secured in the box with paper all around!

Thanks for the RTs btw! I *love* your art btw, you’re so talented!

It’s such a cool army, I’ve been loving using it

@stelpavlou.com good answer on the bond stuff. I loved 51st state btw!

Your man's wearing a brown tarp there. Is it too much to ask that a blockbuster in 2025 has better costume design than a 1979 BBC miniseries?

(Answer: No it needs to be brown)

"NO MAKE IT MORE BROWN"

Also what in the ugly weird midget hugging fuckup is going on when this is in your publicity pic???

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the epic to end all epics: 'We shot over 2 millions feet of film' The legendary director tells Empire about the epic production of his historical blockbuster in an Empire exclusive. Read more and see a brand new image.

Nolan says he shot 2 million feet of film for his version of The Odyssey.

Unfortunately looking at the pics it's all extremely beige.

Wild Thing, I think I love you Comfortably the best podcast about Bigfoot ever made

The new Sounds Complete Radio post is up:

A podcast that somehow made me believe maybe, just maybe, Bigfoot might just be real.

Not really — but WILD THING is that good.

Yes! It’s one of the few crimes where people often make rational choices about risk, so “you could die/do 25 years” would really impact it

Ahhhhhh BETWEEN 2 FIRES IS SO GOOD, genuinely one of my fave books

This is classic creator economy authenticity mate. You'll be fine, just lock in the Cathedral City endorsement.

Ah apologies I missed the “not dude” bit

Amiga action was better imho. The charts of best games released going back years were incredibly helpful in building a library of all the best games
