Honestly this one is infuriating me even more than the show because it is AS DIRECT A TIE TO HER AS POSSIBLE. They are repackaging her novels for a new generation. This doesn't employ dozens of crew. This doesn't have other creatives involved.

They are reciting her words, to enrich her. Full stop.

One of our QA guys once had to try and replicate a reported bug by jumping up against *every single* wall in an entire game.

"you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land"

The reason the small boats are so "crammed" is Labour's "smash the gangs" programme reduced the availability of boats.

They knew this would happen and simply hoped that the vastly increased risk of drowning would act as a deterrent. It doesn't. People are just dying.

"Suspected of crime". Not even convicted. Suspected.

A screengrab from the BBC News website with a photo of the Home Secretary with the headline "Guidance for police on sharing suspects' ethnicity must change, home secretary says" and the sub-head "The home secretary says the public 'need to have more information' about those suspected of crime".

No, they don't, you absolute incompetent tinpot dunce.

How Transformers: Target 2006 Warped My Tiny Mind The lasting impact of the UK comic's time-twisting and hyper-violent 1986 epic

Comrade Meer writes about the torture-porn-for-pre-teens transformer epic, Target 2006. I joke about Impactor being who we imprinted on instead of Jean Grey, but the main joke is I'm not joking.

This is 100% world-class bullshit

Ssssydney, is that you...?

Fucking hell.

An open book showing two almost-wordless comics pages, drawn by Sean Phillips, of The Steel Claw from 1992.

The 1992 Action Special gets a bad rap, but I'd have given my hind teeth to have @seanphillips.bsky.social drawing The Steel Claw as a Le Carré-style Cold War assassin like this. Still would.

There's little better than a smooth porter, not too bitter, not too malty. Just enough flavour to be utterly refreshing.

Oh god...

I don't *need* a book about the history of my favourite beer. However, I would *like* a book about the history of my favourite beer.

This is full-fat fascism from a Labour minister. Legitimising the idea that people seeking asylum represent a danger when compared to any other UK citizen is legitimising the far-right. To say that the government 'hears the worries' is to give credence to fascist conspiracy theories.

Do you know your onions? 'Newent Celebrates' is coming 13-14 September and we're 'chomping' at the bit to bring the English Civil Wars to life! Learn more at newentonionfayre.net

It was so nice to hear people at SDCC say how they can tell that both myself and @punkrokmomjeans.bsky.social genuinely do love 2000 AD and aren’t faking our enthusiasm at all.

These are exciting comics!!

🌙 A nighttime lookout! 👀

Bunch of terfs holding up a banner saying "we are all sandie peggie"

What's that you say, GC movement? "You are all Sandie Peggie?" Sandie Peggie, the omni-racist? The workplace bully? The bigot so vile that she has at least five separate bigotries on the go at any one time, who spends so much time hating that it's basically her hobby?
I believe you, GC movement.

So what did Vikings really look like?
TV/movies tell us they looked like dollar-store biker gangs, wearing black leather, covered in dirt and allergic to colours... but in reality... they looked like 1970s pop singers.

Seriously, thread time.🧵

Boundless is going under, it’ll cease trading by end of day. Archna has emailed Neem Tree Press authors about this but not Unbound ones :/

Authors, a couple staff members are working hard to get reversions, subcontracts, and files to us—if you need them email NOW before the lights go off

There's currently 20% off 'I Am The Law' in the 2000 AD webshop, if you want to read about how a comic book explains how we ended up with genocide in the name of 'security' and pensioners opposing that genocide getting arrested...

What Labour are doing to trans people is so brazenly unjust. They don't care about the science, the recommendations of experts, the legality, the morality... not even the political cost. It's just full steam ahead with eliminating trans people from public life regardless of the cost or consequences

🫣🫣Could you survive this medical procedure?? 😱😱

At our event in Culcheth last month, Dr Hughes the Churgeon of Sir George Lisle's regiment explained how you'd recover from one of the most dangerous operations you could have in the 17th Century – removal of a bladder stone!

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

We wanted change - and this is what we got. Labour will leave Government, after only one term, having achieved nothing beyond delivering the country to Reform

University admins literally run institutions full of experts in every subject and not only do they never consult them, they go out of their way to insult that expertise while following the world's most deliberately stupid consultants. Every time. It's a death cult.

The difficulty with writing anything about anything is that any given thing, on closer inspection, appears to be connected to every thing, and now you’ve gone from writing about anything to writing about everything 😅
