I've finally picked up on Chapter 2 of #Catwoman 'I've Got my reasons' one of many poor, neglected #fanfictions. Starts & ends with classic BatCat badinage with lots of Selina being a magnificent bastard to people who absolutely deserve it inbetween. #batman archiveofourown.org/works/501784...

Catwoman and Domino please and thank you.

Ok, maybe I was a wee bit hasty in hating on AI…

Everyone: we don't want this Tech Cos: Everyone wants AI Everyone: we don't want this Tech Cos: Here, have more of it Everyone: We don't want this Tech Cos: It's faster, more powerful, we have lots of it Everyone: We don't want this Tech Cos (finally, hopefully): I think maybe people don't want this

NEW: A Reform UK councillor has been accused of 'deliberately peddling misinformation' about the newly opened safe consumption room in Glasgow

Glasgow’s finest moment.

Your friend and mine @katebeaton.bsky.social has a new picture book, and it's out TOMORROW! It's called "Shark Girl" and if you can read these two spreads and NOT be totally taken by it, you have achieved the impossible. Out tomorrow at a bookstore near you! <3

In a court in Scotland right now lawyers are aggressively cross-examining trans people on the very concept of transness and apparently that's fine. We are an inch away from trans people being legally erased. Fight.

If the UK was really, really smart, it would now plough tens of billions into research centres and take in all the American academics fleeing the US. Spoiler: the UK is not smart. 🇬🇧

Thank you, @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social! ❤️ #ForOurLibraries

Kanye West is tweeting swastikas. They are not being removed. The owner of Twitter supports German Neo Nazis and does Nazi salutes. It’s time to be clear that Twitter is a Nazi app. WHY are schools and government bodies using a Nazi app? Twitter is a Nazi app.

Anas Sarwar couldn’t help the cause of independence more if he dressed up as a Redcoat and marched around Edinburgh Castle with a flintlock musket My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Look, I have nothing to say on the Superbowl other than I'm glad Kendrick was Kendrick, and that American Football is Rugby as played by a bunch of Big Girl's Blouses.

Still no explanation from @rcolvile.bsky.social as to why, in a discussion about recent migrants (mostly from India/Nigeria) he's randomly lashing out at women who have mostly been here decades who happen to be from Muslim countries.

This Byline Times story on Farage pictured with far-right activists has not been picked up by any established media outlet - including liberal/democratic/left publications. Why? Because people like being comfortable in their own power and status. The newspaper I edit will keep sounding the alarm.

Excited to see people start to get their copies of The Comics Courier in their mailboxes. Physical copies will go on sale in February for anyone who missed out on the Kickstarter. For digital readers, you can pick up a PDF of The Comics Courier on Gumroad now! tbabb.gumroad.com/l/comicscour...

Oh, Hush is important, no question about that. And as a Very Silly Romp that crams practically every Batman trope into its storyline-sorry, ‘storyline’, I can see the appeal. But quality-wise? It absolutely IS rubbish. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. But some very fun set pieces.

my generation had a good and normal alternative to someone like Jordan Peterson, and it was the Beastie Boys, who dispensed invaluable life lessons like "if you've got bad breath then maybe try Scope/if you wash your ass, you best use soap"

"I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others. I hope that a message calling for dignity, respecting dignity, honesty, humility, and kindness is resonating with people. I'm grateful for that." – Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde #NOH8

One of my Twitter creeps trying to make ‘news’ out of me but I do love a teachable moment 🧵 Yes, boys, I have indeed linked the anti abortion movement to fascism, because it is very much linked to fascism. For a start, the Nazis banned abortion to force German women to breed for The Reich.

An incredible photo from Berlin this evening. An estimated 100,000 have been on the streets in the German capital today to protest against the Far Right and fascism in Europe. #Resist (📸 Ricarda Lang)

I recreated the Huntress account if you want to give it a follow: @helenawaynehunt.bsky.social I'll later add the reading recommendations links again.

Elon Musk has posed as a champion of those poor bereaved families in Southport but the killer watched a violent video just before his killing spree *on X* and Musk is refusing to take it down despite numerous official requests from UK & Australian authorities www.ft.com/content/3c89...

Great to see Timpson aiming to close one women’s jail in E&W and citing plans to move away from custodial sentences for low-level crimes. Huge news! This focus will shift to community-based alternatives to better address issues like addiction and trauma.

Absolute Batman 5 tease. I love this book. @nickdragotta.bsky.social #frankmartin

Me: I know pantyhose are a little dated but I love how they even out my skin tone Teller: So is this not a robbery? Me: No, it is

The daughter’s currently obsessed with Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It’s a relentlessly grim saga in which a wee girl is repeatedly bullied by an objectively awful little shit & her equally vile friends then gaslit by the surrounding adults into believing it’s all her fault.

CN: SA Once again: while Open Secrets exist in many communities, which is why we have whisper networks and missing stairs, most of the time predators are careful. If you are currently insisting everyone who knew Gaiman must have known, you are both wrong and reinforcing dangerous SA myths. 1/

It’s a good point. I didn’t like it much, so wouldn’t be the audience, but you’d have to think it would be worth a punt. I wonder if it’s because of how the production ended up, with it leaving WB?

Catwoman and Odo.

bring back forums when the internet was a proper country, if you wanted to talk to strangers online you had to find the set of strangers that read the same stupid webcomic you do and then create an account on their forum people do not belong all in the same pile like unsorted laundry

Two of my favourite things in Edinburgh: its city layers and its free library workshops! ✨

California identified roughly 800 women forcibly sterilized in state prisons from 2005 to 2013. Yet a reparations program for victims has compensated only a fraction, with most claims being denied. boltsmag.org/forced-...

Read a preview of FML #3 from Dark Horse Comics, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by David López as Riley deals with his new hair.

Having just devoured “The Space Between Worlds” and “Those Beyond the Wall” over a hectic Christmas and Hogmanay, I’m going to need @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social to cancel all prior appointments so she can write the next instalment IMMEDIATELY.

Get people housed and even irascible lefty yes voters like me would support them in ‘29 to stave off Fart-face and his band of twats. But they’re shitebags. Too cowardly to lead, a little more capable of managing our decline than the others, but that’s not saying much.

Which is worse - a couple of days of headlines in the Telegraph/Mail? Or actually failing to build houses and grow the economy? Tough choices.. 😉

What’s ASL for “loathsome c*nts”?

I don’t know what possessed me to go drinking in early January, but as soon as I find the aspect of my psyche responsible, she’s in deep, deep trouble…

Thanks to your overwhelming support, 𝗝𝗜𝗠 𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗨𝗘 𝟭 is officially SOLD OUT! The final day to pre-order is Monday, January 13th. Available at your local comic shop Wednesday, February 12th! boomstud.io/HensonPresen...

I've just seen Batman Returns described as "unrelentingly grim & boring." I've fact checked that claim & can report that contrary to these claims, Batman Returns is a movie in which the villain rides a mechanical duck & the hero has a big slide in his house.

If Elon Musk cares about children as much as he's pretending he does, where are his posts about Gaza? 🤔

Decided we can't even do Twitter as a broadcast-only thing. Even auto posts via WP feel wrong now. Before Musk wrecked the place we were heading for 10,000 followers there. It's going to be a long time rebuilding here. If you like what we do in comics and can spread the word we'd so appreciate it!
