I DONE IT SHIRLEY.

Ok well the Flan Carrie has answered the question "do Americans abbreviate their pronunciation of 'pedophile' the way we do ours, and thus go round calling people 'peddos' as a general insult?" but aside from that so far there is little to recommend it

Good morning you beautiful lot! In 2 weeks we've smashed the £10k, plus the £1k our comrade was going to fund himself, plus £500+ that we are using to support other antifascist comrades impacted by police violence! Donations will close soon, but you can still donate to Bristol Defendant Solidarity:

A very dear friend and antifascist comrade is facing serious charges resulting from defending migrants housed in hotels in Bristol from a far right march in 2025. He's a father, has £11k in legal fees up front, and may be facing prison time if he doesn't win. Please dobate below.

sorry. unfollowing now. i just wanted to support queer poc authors. i didn't know he committed seppuku after a failed coup to restore the emperor of japan.

Just seen this AI-generated poster for a British Army child-recruitment drive in Glasgow for *Black History Month*

Here's how to find me at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year, along with everything I'll be selling and a price list. I'm flying solo at my table this year, so I probably won't get much of a chance to come and find your table or see any panels. Please make my day and buy some of these comics!

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

Yesterday, people at 40+ hospitals across England said: no Palantir in the NHS. Palantir works with the Israeli military and ICE, and holds a £330m contract for NHS patient data. It can be scrapped within weeks. Share this and tell the government: back the break clause.

Truly don't get it. I've never remotely had the urge or inclination to use A.I. There's just zero fucking appeal to not just making the damn thing myself, to have the experience of making the damn thing, to learn from the mistakes made making the damn thing, to having the finished damn thing.

There once was a shit who took to sea

I feel a sea shanty coming on

The list of facts at the top of this thread are of course lies that came solely from my head but I did once see two herring gulls on some waste ground fighting over who got to carry off an abandoned toaster. The battle was perhaps more intensely fought owing to the fact it was a four-slice toaster.

if you EVER get called for a meeting and they say “don’t bring a union rep” bring a union rep

'The University and College Union (UCU)’s Edinburgh branch said staff had been called into “informal meetings at less than 24 hours' notice” and told not to bring union representatives.'

If you work for a book publisher that has introduced AI at any point in the publishing process, I'm working on a story and would like you speak with you, on-record or off-. Same goes if you're an author and you've witnessed your publisher using AI at any point in the publishing process.

My first morning in the Omaze house. I didn’t sleep. I could hear crying from behind the door I’m not allowed to open.The only thing to eat is frozen prawns. I went for a wander round the 4 acre garden and found a box of VHS tapes marked ‘For the next one’. I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure it’s all fine

Fun fact about the making of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace: That noxious green miasma is not a special effect. It follows Linehan around wherever he goes

Hourly Garth Marenghi's Darkplace@hourlydarkplace.bagpuss.org · last mo.

Based on a Stephen King script clearly written during bouts of mania, 'Sleepwalkers' never belies the insanity of its source material, as dispossessed vampire cat gods unleash a merry hell of virgin baiting, cop skewering, incest and bad CGI, in what is surely THE great American film of the 1990s.

HELLRAISER RESURRECTIONS: THE ONANISTIC RITUAL is a banger. A manky tale of hate and lust for our own times, incisively written, unsettlingly lettered and beautifully drawn and coloured.
