I hate everyone who has received the new Hot Rod whilst my pre-order has yet to ship. Zavvi, this is not encouraging me to use you more in the future.

He/him/just a man, with a man's courage. Comics, Magic: the Gathering, poptimism and various shades of other assorted nerd nonsense. Never trust a Tory. Trans rights are fundamental human rights. We are, in fact, all Leeds, aren't we?
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Kyle Starks - COMIC CON NEBRASKA!@thekylestarks.bsky.social · 2d agoThe launch page for my upcoming Kickstarter LOUISE SPROUSE STOLE MY HEART (AND I HAVE TWO HOURS TO GET IT BACK) - a coming of age hitman story - is now LIVE!

Fucking Leeds United come back from two goals down to win 4-2 and everyone, the Beeb, chatshit, all of them, framing it as what do Liverpool need to do. No, you fuckers, don't make it about those cocks. Come on.
Rod liddle is dead and Toby Livesey is facing mild consequences for enabling a sex pest and rapist? It's not much, but it's something.
my new obsession is having Warhammer 40K history videos playing in the background all day and every other day my wife asks why I don't just play a game or buy some models if I like it so much and I dunno how to explain that in the grim darkness of the far future there is only lore
Farage surrounded by crooks, frauds and posho racists, you say? My monocle, she hath popped out.
Josiah Mortimer@josiahmortimer.bsky.social · 3d ago"[Byline] revealed that Cottrell entered corporate finance under a false Swiss identity, hired by the same City network that produced Reform UK’s own treasurer, Mehrtash A’zami. "Byline Times has since confirmed that this identity was stolen from a real person – Cottrell’s old school friend."
Disney+ here, in the space year of our lord 2026, adding Akira and not even stating whether it is subbed or subbed, much less GIVING YOU THE OPTION TO CHOOSE is some high level we don't understand our audience bullshit.
A sensible govt would be putting ALL of their resources into this.
Suw@suw.bsky.social · 3d agoCrops grown underneath solar panels produce more, require less water and are more resistant to extreme weather, even during a hot, dry summer. We need agrivoltaics to be rolled out asap, for both the electricity and the better growing conditions. microgridmedia.com/solar-panels...
For myself, Shatterstar absolutely starts out this way but, somewhere along the line, he decided to dedicate himself to winning at cooking and has very quietly been getting better and better at it. He's now an absolute hot sauce masochist.
Comrade Bullski@comradebullski.bsky.social · 3d agoShatterstar. He grew up in Mojoworld as an indentured arena fighter and in Mojoworld every restaurant is Mojo Bell. Upon first trying actual Mexican food on Earth he had a religious epiphany akin to Ramlethal trying a burger for the first time. He can't cook for shit but he loves the idea of food.
As my grandad said to my great grandad - being a coal merchant can get to fuck.
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 7d agoEnough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
This isn't a crank theory, it's not subtext, it's just text. Nobody coped well and the world is exponentially more fucked and all our leaders continue to prove tonnes useless. We're all carrying a humongous amount of trauma and there's no answers and everything's expensive.

The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · last wk.One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.
As I like to say- we spent all of our GCSEs doing things on Acorn Archimedes and, as we wrapped our exams, this thing called Windows 95 appeared and instantly made everything redundant.
The Author, Séamas O'Reilly@seamas.bsky.social · last wk.I was a tech-savvy teen - my dad was a PC hobbyist who had us building servers and LANs from the age of 12 - and my GCSE classes in ICT (the term IT hadn't been adopted yet!) were hilariously outdated. In 2002, our textbooks still said "one day, five million people will be using electronic mail".
That new Leeds home kit looks like cheap pyjamas. And such a weird mismatch with the away strip which continues to grow on me.
Make voting compulsory, add a None Of The Above option and that has to be less than 50% for someone to be voted in. I see no conceivable issues with this policy. Implement it, you cowards.
James Ball@jamesrball.com · last wk.Compulsory voting sucks, as I wrote for the Guardian *eighteen years ago* (I was still a student tbf)
Mmm, that Masters of the Universe film. Yes, I also enjoyed GotG and Thor Ragnarok.
Your food processor has a chute that fits your dick. Should you?
CBS News@cbsnews.com · 2w agoChatGPT now has a space for sharing medical records. Should you?
Logan's face in that new computer game looks really spongy and weird.
[AFTER KEIR STARMER RESIGNS] ME: PAL: ME: PAL: Lot of human rights abuses for a hu- ME: A LOT of human rights abuses for a human rights lawyer!
Hannah Elias@hannahelias.bsky.social · last mo.In the end, there were just a lot more human rights abuses than I was expecting from the human rights lawyer.
Ready or Not 2 is like John Wick 2, it goes bigger and is a little more lacking, but still pretty darn good.
If you pile your furniture in the middle of your living room then set it on fire, you will have the warmest house in your street, for a few hours.
Aside from hopefully bringing an end to perhaps the most creatively stagnant period for Marvel in the 21st century, the best thing about Cebulski leaving is that it simply has to mean fewer opportunities for unfunny people to parrot "Akira Yoshia" jokes at one another.
Fuming.
YouGov@yougov.co.uk · 3w agoWho doesn't like dinosaurs? Certainly not the person who paid a record-breaking $50m for a T-rex skeleton at auction on Tuesday Our 2024 poll found 15% of Britons love dinosaurs, and 34% like them - only 3% dislike or hate them, while 47% are indifferent yougov.com/en-gb/articl...
Anyways, England continue to disappoint in a way that remains quaintly reassuring.
