Much better than the tea lights and crystals that are usually left there, which I've cleared out in the past.

Just watched Luc Besson’s
new Dracula film.

It’s… brilliant.

Except…

I’m not sure the reasons it’s good are intentional.

It’s super, extra camp.

I can’t tell if it’s meant to be a parody, but it’s hilarious and its main inspiration seems to be the video for Army of Lovers’ Cruficied.

Just to refute another potential myth - P&T never actually did a whole episode or in-depth look at climate change.

They mentioned it as part of other topics, but never focussed on it.

What they did take on was 'green-washing' about how companies misrepresented ecological benefits of products.

Yeah, again that's where I can respect but disagree with them. The main point of difference being that they seem to have a problem with international or government led attempts to fight it, as that would be too much socialism for them. That stance may have changed since too though and I missed it.

Penn and Teller are a great example of people that I can disagree with about a few things, but still like and respect.

They are, of course, right about vaccines here, but I disagree with them about stuff like gun control and smoking. Although, I think they maybe changed their minds about smoking.

Bond would totally fuck a guy in order to get info, or access, in the same way he usually fucks the good girl & bad girl in each film, according to the formula. Difference is he'd bottom for a guy.

Also, he's completely impotent unless he's killed someone in the past 48 hours or so.

I find it hard to consider him an asset to anyone, but yeah…

Finally reading now. Kevin Logan was surprisingly lucid in his bit. I never expected that.

Self-publish and abandon. Set them free. Someone critiques them? Pffttt those were written by some guy I was three weeks ago, not me.

Sometimes when I’m bored I put typos in the Wikipedia pages of people I once knew, who achieved a minor level of fame or infamy, and annoyed me at some time or other.

Anyway - images show Oddcases comic covers and interior pages.

The one thing that the PUA books like β€˜The Game’ etc get right is that men need to display β€˜value’.

However, they get completely wrong what value actually is.

A British flag that’s black and white with a red dragon on it, to incorporate the flags of Cornwall and Wales.

This is what the British flag should look like.

That’s fair. I suppose I really want her to realise the harm she’s doing and how she’s not actually helping anyone.

The other clothing brand I’d recommend is Arktis. They’re fairly expensive but excellent quality. I live in their short sleeve shirts now, as they’ve got awesome hidden inside pockets that are great for putting phones and wallets in.

I recommend Decathalon. They do some excellent stretchy ones in grown-up sizes. I've worn them for several festivals and whilst they aren't necessarily the warmest or most waterproof ones, they don't chafe and they dry super-quickly, which is probably better than sweating inside more protective ones

It’s sad that Ozzy was sacked from his original band as Crazy Horses was a banger.

Dear All Blokes With Beards With Really Straight Edges Razored In,

you’re missing the point of having a beard.

No love,

i'm kinda lost for things to say about this, except that it's reassuring that there aren't many of their previous fans that are attempting to defend the wrong uns, so there's that.
