Rik Worth 👻

Heck UK comics was pretty nuts.
One say 2000AD slips into your Beano subscription and suddenly the Bash Street Kids seem tame compared to Slaine’s Warp Spasm

I'll always be obsessed with this edit made by @tommchenry.bsky.social

I love corn-fed Supes. He doesn’t need to be shredded. That’s silly.
He’s a big ‘ol country boy raised on a farm.

Starmer is no Churchill.
He’s barely even a Sunak.
But he’s no Trump either.
It’s not a high bar granted, but still.

Ahh, I’m glad I’m not the only one

Heading home from another great book tour in Wales.

We ( @jordancollver.bsky.social ) did a great window display for Mold Bookshop

After school visits, book signing and window painting yesterday, it's @rikworth.bsky.social's & my last day of our Pets Tell Tales tour of North Wales this morning.

I have many times tried to take a picture of the road sign to your town with no success!

It’s oddly full of Scousers.
Keep watch for the King.
Just in case Michael Sheen get’s a little too political!

I’m in Wales!

My mistake for commenting on trains not in America or the south. Should have known better.
Soz.

Who is this for?
Would any Reform, Green or Labour voter see this and feel any different?
Sophistry.

I have no idea how Amaz*n rankings work and I hate that I even care, but it's nice to see my kids getting along and making friends.

I have to take 5 trains today.
Across the north of England and Wales.
With 10 to 15 minute changes.
The odds of me arriving at my final destination on time are incredibly slim.

American bluesky when they catch someone posting about something that’s not them.

A 40K that appears to be falling out of fashion. I miss the OTT dirt, skulls ans misery.

LaindonFeminist: Labour led by Keir for me ‪@viviane49.bsky.social‬ James OBrien is forcing me to wonder if I’m in a Starmer cult. I think I am a little bit. Because I really respect him and want him to stay in post. I’m glad I’m in his cult because I’ve never found anyone else I’ve respected more in politics than him. #StandingWithStarmer 12:21 PM · Feb 9, 2026 Everybody can reply 9 reposts 2 quotes 74 likes 36 11 Write your reply ‪Mark P Nicholls‬ ‪@markpn.bsky.social‬ · 1h I am also in the same cult. However, I believe it is an evidence-based cult. Starmer is managing home and foreign policies equally well. Manifesto pledges are now enacted, NHS, Education, Infrastructure, Energy, etc. The ability to deliver actions is what I look for and his Cabinet is delivering. 2 5 ‪Helbel 🌻☘️💚🤍🧡‬ ‪@pudner.bsky.social‬ · 1h Agree wholeheartedly 👍 1 ‪Prof Sensible‬ ‪@profsensible.bsky.social‬ · 1h Me too. SKS is a bit wooden, lacks charisma, but we’ve seen where that gets us before with Bozo and his bluster. Is Starmer perfect? No. Does he reflect all my priorities? No. Is he doing what’s needed? Yes. Will it take time? Yes.

"Evidence-based cult"

Outstanding branding.

“Can I get double Blood for the blood god?”

“Ice and slice?”

“Oh, please, that would be lovely”

Blanche is so good.
I remember as a kid just thinking it was a sketchy, water-colour mess.

Then as I got old I realised, man, sketchy, water-colour mess takes so much talent!

I’m such a sucker for that kind of stuff

This is back-of the envelope maths, but for any parents with kids at primary school in the UK: imagine your kid goes to a three-form entry school. So like, a reasonably big school.
