I mean fair play, Faith No More's Epic is well-named.

People have a lot more faith than I do that he isn't just going to be returned straight back to Parliament.

Count Binface right now:

I think Plaid Cymru should stand in Clacton.

maybe we should rename student loans as pension charges and watch them all get obliterated from orbit

If Farage really is quitting then I'd suggest that maybe he's not quite as worried about getting a polonium tea from his paymasters than he should be.

Successive governments have conned teenagers with the student loans scam- not the children of the rich who can afford it anyway, of course, just normal kids- and probably nothing will happen. It's revolting. All student loans should be forgiven immediately.

I really like all this about Belgium saying they played better because of the sense of injustice over the red card thing. It’s like a safe environment for America to finally fucking learn a lesson about why they can never win insurgency wars.

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

Let me remind everybody that in 2019, the USWNT had to deal with Trump's bs for the entire tournament. Unlike the men, he incited the MAGA hate machine against the women because he hated Megan Rapinoe. The women fed off his crap and won that World Cup.

Another GODZILLA cuz I guess this is all I wanna draw now

Farage hasn't looked particularly happy about anything since he won his seat in Parliament. This is all clearly outside his actual plan, which was never do a day's work, just run up all the money he can in all his grifts regardless of all the damage he's done. But now it's all got serious.

Pratchett isn't it.

Larry is very definitely on the team. It’s not his fault he hasn’t had proper training, that’s on the management. He’s just doing his best under trying circumstances and works with joy and enthusiasm. I’d have him in my team any day.

I'm not one of these people who think critics are pointless but also someone making some art you didn't care for is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things and you can probably afford to shut your gob up about it sometimes.

Probably the best photo I will ever take of a dog going for a ball in a moorland wallow

Which means of course that it'll be time for @madeley.bsky.social's Independent Tropical Wales.

With the death of Penelope Keith, Attenborough is now the last British celeb that everybody likes. Once he goes it'll be like the last raven leaving the Tower of London.

The monkey's paw curls, Mel Gibson wakes from his slumber with "Welsh Apocalypto" on his tongue

If Eggers can make Werwulf in Middle English then someone should give me money to make Arthurian stuff in Taliesin-dialect Welsh.

All the time I spent on the lightning effects on my power weapons 😭

No lie it was pretty funny because the bulk of my army is just brightly coloured nonsense, barely more than a basecoat of hurriedly applied contrast paint, but in eye-watering 2nd Edition scheme. Meanwhile every one of James's Blood Angels are exquisite.

Fucking fantastic Alejandro Jodorowsky portrait by the legend Moebius 😊🖤

Are you TELLING me that the absolute load of eyewatering cutlery-drawer-aesthetic horseshit that is Titan Class Bayverse Grimlock, which comes with no extra features and is smaller than every other Titan Class figure, is ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY POUNDS

Biffo the vampire slayer was a short lived direction for the strip.

Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).

Tzeentch. Nurgle. Khorne. Slaanesh.

want to see a magic trick

bothered. dry. unhappy. out of my lane. withering.

Healthcare doesn't include abortion or contraception though. Weirdly.

I now own both issues of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen that, for reasons known only to Jack Kirby, feature Don Rickles as a special guest star.

It's an interesting article regardless, but anything mentioning Gwyn Alf gets a rebleet from me.

I used to go literal years, even as someone with an interest in politics, without a clue who the fucking Downing Street chief of staff was, or who it was going to be.

What Syed is describing is democracy. It's difficult but politicians are supposed to be skilled enough to navigate it. If the people are too divided to do what's in our best interest then it's literally their job to convince enough of us to make it work.

It'll certainly be a test of some kind for the new PM if he can't decide between giving a top job to Ed Miliband, a man who has miraculously, more or less, escaped getting the Starmer loser stink on himself through general competence, or Wes Streeting, a man whose own face thinks he's a twat.

For me, it was crystallised by his then Secretary to the Treasury (Darren Jones) telling Wales to be "grateful" for the crumbs they gave our rail infrastructure. That was his guy, talking to us like peasants and not getting slapped down for it.

I know that I see everything through a Welsh lens but, amongst everything else everyone has been saying about Starmer today, it sums up his ineptitude that his UK Government kept falling out with the Welsh Government over matters of devolution, *when they were both Labour governments*.

That Cuba brings in free market reforms to allow for a vast swathe of privatisation before bothering with the kind of reforms that would give its people things like, you know, free elections and freedom of the press, sounds about right for the terrible era we're living through.

Hmm, I wonder what happened 10 years ago…

economy's in the toilet, pound's in the toilet, labour party's in the toilet, the only thing not in the toilet is the people the ehrc say can't be in the toilet

Peter Mandelson to become the first ever Double Lord.

"We're live at Number 10 where Idris Elba has arrived, as is tradition"

In the beginning UK PMs were spaced by twenty four weeks. Then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. The last one was a week. In four days we could be seeing a new Prime Minister every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes. We should witness a double Prime Minister within seven days

at some point it’s just adopting prime ministers and feeding them to the cat

I simply refuse to learn the name of a new prime minister. I won't do it. Call me when Wales is independent
