ThoBubs weekend AND a new Robyn track? This truly is the Xmas in November.

In case there's any ambiguity, btw, this is exactly where Brexit would land the UK under Nigel Hypnotoad's hard-line version. Few folks ever mention food costs when talking whimsically about the past. Often because those with access to publication grew-up privileged. But I remember. Clothes too.

The logical explanation is Epstein at al are embarrassed about how much they like pizza so they’re speaking in code

He was a child of the circus and the stop was Gotham City, home of the bat-man. He overheard strangers mention ‘protection money’ and ‘accident’ to Mr. Haly. That night he saw his parents fall from high in the air. The bat-man appeared and told the boy, “I understand”. Somehow Dick knew he did.

Hey, remember when we thought that this guy was the bottom-of-the-barrel low point for the Presidency? Good times.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

I swear. I don’t care if you watch or use porn. If you are in the Internet you need to support porn. Without porn most of the Internet you love wouldn’t have happened and wouldn’t be happening. Porn makes the wheels go round. Not that enough ppl pay for theirs but that’s a diff issue. (Cont)

Who are the people to hit up selling all ages/kid's comics and stuff like that at tbubz this weekend?

Sending $500m of Bitcoin at 11pm on a Sunday for absolutely legal reasons, as you do

If I were innocent and had thousands of pages of proof, I'd release them.

Twas the night before Tbubs, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The suitcases were lain by the door with care………. WAIT WHY WON’T YOU FECKING SHUT?! #ThoughtBubble2025

Oh interesting, who were the men

people are focusing on the scary part ("AI-generated") but why, why on Earth, would I want content "from users"

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.

This tv / Betamax combo was only affordable by drug dealers and disco executives when it came out. So when you look at expensive items from the past, just think about dudes with medallions and chest hair and nose bleeds watching Card Sharks on it or some shit

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

At this point, I feel I should publically thank the mighty @comicprintinguk.bsky.social for getting Dead Men Tell Tales to me in time for Thought Bubble. It was tight, but we managed to get the files together in time to (just) make the deadline, and he came through as he always does. Cheers, CPUK.

I posted these this morning. If you filled out your survey and I have your address, your copy is in the post. Yes, even if you're going to be at Thought Bubble - I'm far too daft to consider things like that. Besides, you paid for postage, it's only right I should post it to you. Emails also sent.

I have so many titles for sale at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social that even taking minimal stock means using The Big Suitcase. And two heavy boxes. I'll have copies of Dead Men Tell Tales for sale, along with the rest of the Freaktown back catalogue. Here's my prices and how to find me.

OH MY HEARTS ❤️❤️

@chucktingle.bsky.social is working on new bestseller, I see.

I will never be asked to DJ at Thought Bubble because I would play Ratamahatta by Sepultura followed by my favourite Girls Aloud B-side, Hoxton Heroes, followed by Cotton Eye Joe. Wait, that would be awesome - sign me up!

Hey whilst I'm thinking about it: do you even know who's DJing at Thought Bubble this year (except me)? All going to plan you've got @sofiedodgson.bsky.social, Sara Kenney, @chrissywilliams.bsky.social, @shanefaced.bsky.social, @andrewhickey.500songs.com, and @kierongillen.bsky.social.

I think my favourite example of a game security flaw was in the Firefly game where the Captain Reynolds outfit DLC entirely compromised your system. It was Malwear.

I truly believe that Wes Streeting has the ideas, the charisma, and the likeability to be an even more historically hated Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Jojojoba makes a lovely Christmas present.

Last checks tbublers! Have you charged your portable chargers? Your card readers? Done a test purchase? Got a float? 🧐

A quick reminder that this 15% discount ends at midnight tomorrow!

The next time Marlon Brando went back to Paris, I suppose he just had a Fanta or an Orangina instead.

HEARD NEW ROBYN. BOUGHT NEW ROBYN. EVERYBODY LISTEN TO NEW ROBYN:

fuck Wes Streeting, and fuck the shambling, parasite ridden corpse of the Labour party

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

I kind if hope it turns out Streeting and Philipson were behind the briefings and they get sacked and start a leadership challenge and find out everyone hates them and get utterly humiliated. That'd be fun. Then if Starmer survives he gets forced to appoint an actual left wing Cabinet

It's the happiest weekend of the year! Nerdvana in the North, @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social . The Xmas in November!

The first rule of Crossword Club: tank told it's messed up to keep mum about (4,4) Crossword Club.

Halloween might be over, but we’re still doing the Time Warp, and there’s still time to back @magsvisaggio.com and Noemi Vettori’s Rocky Horror Show: Bride of Rocky Horror on @kickstarter.com! #rockyhorrorshow www.kickstarter.com/projects/bit...

I will be exhibiting at Thought Bubble in Harrogate this weekend at Redshirt Hall Table E18. I like doing sketches, I like selling books and I like going home with slightly more money in my pocket than I had when I arrived. You can help me do all of these things!

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

I want more comics for women by women on actual shelves in stores and I want to make them and not just a miniseries or anthology here and there but an actual diversity of projects and formats like the guys get to do over and over okay back to work

I wouldn't have made comics if I hadn't shown the first four pages I'd ever drawn in a portfolio review at the first Thought Bubble I ever attended. Just that little nudge helped. Just life-changing. And I know a lot of us would say the same.

Tim Davie thinks anti-racism is contentious and a political ideology. What does that say about him? Draw your own conclusions! And once more, Black people pay the fucking licence fee

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Oh hee hee
