Received this handy reminder that four years ago I was busy going insane.

This essay, by @mikkelkfrantzen.bsky.social, is superb –– on the centrality of care to the climate crisis www.break-down.org/care-lessons...

Saddle up, Troopers. We're excited to reveal that @2000ad.bsky.social will continue to sponsor CBCC in 2026. And, gosh, it's gonna be a great year with the bitter war between the Norts & the Southers being depicted in Duncan Jones' ROGUE TROOPER flick. Lisa's recent Nu-Earth fandom is ready.

Suspect a major issue with this kind of book is that, by the time they hit shelves, all the specific details that might make them worth reading in the first place have already been broadcast and dissected for weeks. If you got the précis from an SNL sketch on Instagram, why bother buying it?

How did 2000 AD scar you when you were young? Molch-R & KLO-E teamed up with @scarredforlife.bsky.social this week to discuss some childhood comics trauma! Watch now: youtu.be/jxR3SMU_R3g Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... Or search '2000 AD Thrill-Cast' on your fav podcast app!

We've so far raised almost £100 for the Mermaids charity through sales of these 'Reenactment is for everybody' hoodies and tees mancstees.myshopify.com The perfect Xmas gift for the historical nerd in your life!

The late 19th Century and early 20th Century inability to deal with death but make it an app that uses it to tell you to buy things, please.

Silver is one of the reasons I keep my subscription to 2000AD. While the prog does stories based on 40-year-old characters, it also does new stuff like "what if your sci-fi dystopian war unleashed a grumpy vampire on the alien invaders?" (Also, a rare case of an older woman as an action hero.)

A new analysis found that 80% of 45 anti-trans groups in the U.S. have received funding from fossil fuel companies or billionaires, including Shell and Anschutz. www.ehn.org/fossil-f... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Borag thungg, earthlets! @2000ad.bsky.social is my favourite thing ever, so it was an honour to be guests on the Thrillcast. We talk about the comic, Britain in the 70s and 80s and how it influenced 2000AD, and much more! youtu.be/jxR3SMU_R3g?si=fOXiFh_EnMWetunN

The '90s were a different world.

Oxfordshire County Council has just published data on the first month of the congestion charge! Love the level of granularity. In summary, huge speed up in bus times in city centre, slight increase on some outer roads; massive city centre footfall growth. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/promising-st...

Languishing in my sick bed, but consoling myself with a re-read of Michael Carroll & Joe Currie bonkers SILVER (sci-fi vampires never looked so good!)

A War Without End ⚔️ When the English Civil Wars broke out in 1642, many expected that one great battle would decide it, but after the inconclusive Battle of Edge Hill, it became clear the conflict was set to drag on. 📷: Levitt Parkes

Have you ever seen something like this before?

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

A day of rest, as the Lord decreed.

Ah. I see people are learning about how the Superhero-Industrial Complex actually works. Might I recommend a book that tells you how we got to this terrible state of affairs? josie.zone/true-believer

It's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.

⏰ It's time for change on immigration policy - We all agree on that much! Labour so far have got it all wrong, chasing hostile headlines that will only make our system crueller, society more divided & immigrants easier to exploit. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!! My 9-point plan for a system that works👇

Shocking news, Adam was very talented. I remember when he won the TB art competition last year and he had a grin from ear to ear.

What's worrying is that I've heard this "overdiagnosis" line from perfectly rational people, who have been primed to a) be frightened of neurodivergence in their own kids and b) assume everyone else is on the make while they're the sucker playing fair.

Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

My doctor is getting stronger. I’m up to six apples a day and he just keeps inching closer

Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament

An estimate of the energy cost of producing one single 10 second Sora video: one kilowatt hour. - Deplete and then recharge your iphone 17 68 times - 10% of daily German household use - 5.5 hours of Netflix - ~4hrs of gaming This is probably a huge underestimate www.linkedin.com/posts/alista...

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency. The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries. Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

Fun fact, the German translation for Die Hard is Stirb Langsam, which means Die Slowly, and Die Hard With A Vengeance was called Stirb Langsam - Jetzt Erst Recht! which roughly translates into Die Slowly - For Real This Time
