I've been reminded today that there are significant numbers of people I know who routinely use the word "nacelles", and others who do the same with "roundels", and some who do both.
If you can't see what's wrong with this and all the people being lauded and promoted for hounding a man to death I don't know what to say other than unfollow me and one day try and become a decent person.
Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure
Truss at least only needed to bullshit and shitehouse other Tories. Sliming Johnson and Starmer into Number Ten required months and years of roaring idiotic propaganda, aimed with incredible cynicism at a public both plainly intended to cheat and fuck over.

“We’ve taken away every possibility and opportunity from you - jobs, housing, community, culture, the chance to have a family of your own. Also, we’d like to feed you into a meat grinder.”
sorry to ruin your fun but his whole stoner nice guy routine is an act. Scooby's not even his real name, it's Gideon, and the only reason he can doss about in a mystery van is because his family, the D'Oubay-Doux, made a fortune in the East India Company in the 1700s. educate yourself.
“Officers attended and engaged with those involved. There were no arrests. Campaigning and demonstration are a legitimate, necessary and vital part of life"
Interesting tactic from Police Scotland who routinely kettle antifascist groups while they attempt to peacefully protest.

The results of your blood test are in, and I'm afraid they are positive. You've got the blood, and it's already spread to virtually every part of your body.
I've been seeing some interior samples from artists looking for comic work. A few reminders of things to include:
-clear shots of characters' faces at various distances
-interior and exterior backgrounds
-loose and tight clothing
-fast and slow action
-vehicles
Optional: animals, kids, a kiss
Has anyone seen this book in the flesh? Just wondering what the paper stock is like. Is it glossy like an omnibus edition, or something with a bit of texture, more like the Taschen books? Any help gratefully received before I part with my moolah...

Crowdsourcing recommendations to help with the research I need to do for a new project: does anyone know of any worthwhile books about the Highland Clearances?
Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling
Yeah, bad news folks: you know how everything in Britain has been increasingly generous, functional, rational, pleasant and generally awesome for the last twenty years or so? Well I’m afraid the party is over for you greedy pigs: it’s time for you to suck up some real pain. Thanks
Have to be honest here:
Comic con tables are getting so expensive that I can see a point where indie creators are priced out of exhibiting. It simply won't be worth the cost / time.
It's a worrying trajectory I don't see many discussing.
If exhibitors can't afford to exhibit, there's no show 🤷♂️
We strongly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, some ticket types (specifically weekend and Saturday types) may sell out before the convention weekend, and will not be available on the door.

Somebody ripped out the capacity of the British state to make and do things, and now we can’t even fight wars. If only we had some idea who was to blame
Currently using Bluesky on my desktop, rather than on my phone.
Is it being weird for anyone else?
Trying to repost takes me (temporarily) to the top of my feed instead, and the button for taking me back to the top again just shows me white space.
@bsky.app is something wrong? Or is it me?
