He notes elsewhere that the channel didn't care to do any coverage about Easter celebrations themselves last year, and don't seem to be doing it now despite caring oh-so-much

When your mind becomes like this, there is no principle that won't break. For years, Graham pushed himself as a Leftist in a movement of Leftist women, while trans people and advocates said "come back in five years and we'll see how "Left" you are, and, as per usual, they were right.

A Guest Article By Abraham Van Helsing

so they're closing the West Coast Main Line for a week, huh? the single line connecting London to four of Britain's next five biggest urban conurbations? that's mad, weird that no one's ever thought to build an alternative route, perhaps even one that runs at a high speed, too. crazy

"They also do not want to trigger a more acute crisis by encouraging people to panic-buy, or worse, stockpile under dangerous conditions. But by not properly preparing the country for the risks, the political shock will likely be greater if it does come."

Niven's spun a horde of stories about the Kzinti, their wars against mankind in a late 21st century, and general prominence. Saying "late 21st century" wars ending in Trek means post-WW3, pre-unity, only-just-warping Earth completely _kerbstomped_ some alien invaders so bad they can't have a navy.

If you didn't believe him that the bit with Mortis is incredible, BEHOLD!

I have a joke I really love about World Autism Day, but it just goes on and on and honestly, you'd eventually lose interest

"Captain, incoming ship!" "More Breen?" "No, it's, uh... I think it's Starfleet--" [sudden blast of music on all frequences] "BREEN CONFEDERACYYY!!! THE USS ACCLAIMED HAS ARRIVED!"

My God, they're going to teabag Batman to death.

the battlecry of the People's Poet-class ships:

Think I might just - for reasons - quote my own book.

The article makes a good point, right now instead of reading it I could be watching the recent repeat of Buccaneer from 1980 wot Talking Pictures ran! Thanks for doing me a solid there, Marche!

once I saw someone lament that a not-fancy local place had all the wives dressed to the nines anyway and the husbands in casual gear, and they meant it was bad the men _didn't_ feel the need to performatively dress rather than the women _did_ feel social pressure, and my mind bounced off it.

Happy Birthday to Combat Colin who, @lewstringer.bsky.social reminds us, made his first appearance On This Day, 29th March 1987, in Marvel UK's Action Force No.5. Character ©️ Lew Stringer | Collections here ko-fi.com/V7V11A7V6G/s...

The proposals are awful, but I’m also reminded of the Chesterton point that the purpose of fairy tales is to teach us that evil can be defeated and monsters slain.

Yeah, agree. Ultimately the default system needs to fit the modal user, not the desired one.

I was just at a meeting of all the Cool People and they said the only way to join is if you buy these books:

"We need to get tanks into London fast to stop the enemy--" "We can't! They're barred by ULEZ!"

I was just at a meeting of all the Cool People and they said the only way to join is if you buy these books:

I want this, and I also want a Dixon Of Dock Green pastiche of Warhammer 40K to see what "calm, experienced local bobby-on-the-beat in his patch" looks like when it's 40K.

Matt Goodwin claiming his book is the second best-selling book in the UK is like those articles stating someone’s had a #1 single when I actually only reached #1 in the 7” vinyl singles sub-chart. Either a knowingly dishonest use of a tiny subset of the data, or ignorance masquerading as knowledge.

Could really use this messaging in the UK rather than blindly thinking we can get through a supply crisis by pretending the issue is just prices and not the supply.

I sometimes see arguments no imaginative misfit and creator would want to do arts now because of X, Y, and Z, and while there's structural problems I also know the history of the comic industry, a thing eager-eyed mad souls have constantly wanted to do, has mostly been "hope you like pain"

Deeply disrespectful to the theatrical craft, this. The actors *also* shake.

A source says Dracula had arranged one, two, three, four NDAs, ahaha.

Nice try, Plastic Man... #dcu #dccomics

"NIGHT BUS WHOOP WHOOP!!!" (I don't even know if that was an actual scripted line in Rye Lane or an actual guy on a bus but my god)

"Do you require backup?" Dredd: "No."

"This is what you thought you were going to do when you woke up today, you were going to come in here and make me eat fish?" (I've probably not got that word-for-word but if you've seen the film, you know the scene!)

So I'm not never going to be able to read Death's Head again without hearing him speaking in a South African accent now this newsletter suggested it.

The UK government is exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract, the FT reports. A big and absolutely correct step.

I promise there is no politics in my novel about city-dwelling animals going violently mad due to air pollution in a multicultural city and the attempts of various people & underfunded services to survive/restrain the chaos while the Home Secretary tries to dump responsibility on the Mayor of London

So I was watching the 1993 Finish Made For TV adaptation of The Lord of The Rings, and thought everyone should see the moment where Gollum falls into Mount Doom.
