Anyway, whatever the fuck Amazon makes with James Bond will be garbage. Can't wait for Q to have Bond's gadgets delivered by drone via Amazon Prime.

Loving the absolutely normal James Bond discourse today. Anyway, just a reminder that there are references in Craig Bond to Connery and Lazenby Bond, back when he was the same guy, so it's all canon. Especially the stuff that makes no sense.

I honestly thought ending the franchise was the point. The bloke's been noncing for over 60 years: blow him to pieces and call it a day. Make something new. Very late stage capitalism for a megacorp to then go: "we can still work with this".

Alright, lads, when you're done honouring our dead, get back to it; we've got quotas to hit.

It's happening! (Probably not tomorrow at this point, but defo Wednesday)

feels like Ive been waiting 15 years for this funko single-handedly seems to have ruined the floor real estate in every hobby, comic book, videogame store. I travel anywhere in the world, visit a comic shop or used game store, and 1/3rd of the floor is these fucking useless, dead-eyed funkos

Editing a podcast, I swear. Yes, I know it's been over two months. Apologies to the handful of Moleman fans who would appreciate new content

I've had confirmation it was in fact him. Insane shit to just see on the street while you're out shopping.

Alarmed by not one but two separate groups protesting digital ID cards in town today. In isolation, not that weird: most people are opposed, it's a pretty unobjectionable political stance to take. Thing is I have a pretty well calibrated fashdar and the needle started twitching here.

Jfc. As a professional drinks carbonator, do not fucking inhale CO2. Quite aside from that it can kill you pretty damn quickly, obviously, it just sucks shit to do. CO2 turns into carbonic acid on contact with the moisture in your airways and it fucking burns.

Happy Friday to everyone but especially to Caerphilly.

British.

🔥 The days of bailiffs & debt collectors sitting around at conferences, enjoying a buffet, & discussing how to line their pockets at our expense are over. You turn up at our door, we’ll turn up at yours. 🔗 Join the fight for a Bailiff Free Britain: acorntheunion.org.uk/bailiffs/

This is the first national action in our Bailiff Free Britain campaign, but it won’t be the last. We’ll keep fighting until we’ve ended the policy of using bailiffs to collect council tax debt across the country💪 Get involved and join ACORN today: acorntheunion.org.uk/join

We then moved onto Leeds City Hall and occupied the lobby there. After months of being ignored by the Chair of Leeds’ Strategy and Resource Board, Asghar Khan, we managed to secure a meeting to talk about our campaign and put our demands to him.

The bailiffs legged it straight away, so we hosted our own panel on our fight for a Bailiff Free Britain!

🔥 Today, 300 ACORN members from across England and Wales travelled to Leeds and shut down a conference that hosted some of Britain’s biggest bailiff firms.

I can get it down to two: Stuck Mash

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

It is of course important to note that the Express' use of the word "our" here refers to their ultra wealthy owners, but they're hoping you'll interpret it as "everyone, including you". Disingenuous as fuck.

Don't threaten us with a good time, Daily Express.

Come on, let me pull just one of the levers of power. I promise it'll be a good one!

I don't remember missing out on anything as a kid. That's not to say I didn't; we weren't well off. I just didn't hold on to that resentment for three decades and turn into a nazi over it. I think if you turn into a nazi, you're just weak, honestly. But I support buying toys if we get less nazis.

No mention of Nigel and no picture of the nephew so women can be on their guard if they see him. So weird. Imagine if it was a relative of Starmer's or an asylum seeker.

Trying to figure out the insane autism announcement and my immediate conspiracy theory is that they want to outlaw a safe and popular generic drug so that a big pharma company can conveniently launch a nice patented premium alternative soon after.

I was genuinely surprised to have a conversation at work about it. The vibe was very much that he was a piece of shit that the world is better off without. I didn't think he was that well known outside of far-right and extremely online circles.

imagine getting qt dunked by ed davey. unrecoverable. you’re furious and he is serenely going down a log flume in bognor regis.

More than 80 MPs are landlords, cashing in on the same housing crisis they are supposed to solve. It’s a clear conflict of interest and that’s why Zarah Sultana, together with ACORN, has taken the fight to Parliament to call for a ban on landlord MPs! (🧵…)

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

Oh, what a lovely early birthday present!

The fact that the rich and powerful are scrambling to attack Zack but all they seem to have is insults, and no substantive criticism, means he's got them rattled.

Working my way through Asimov's Robot stories while on hols. There's an almost alarming prescience between the way he depicts the tech industry's relationship with robots and AI boosters today. Specifically the real desire to recreate slavery and insistence that it needs to do literally everything.

Just been served the worst Manhattan cocktail on the planet. All vermouth with the last dreg ends of a bottle of cheap Canadian whiskey. Regret.

Met this incredible iridescent goth pigeon today. We badly need to up our pigeon game in the UK.

I’m finally on board with a great replacement theory…

In all sincerity, I think we had a really good discussion on The Issues in this episode. I was slightly worried Three White Guys Talk Racism might be a shitshow, but it was actually quite productive.

Good Moleman to You! Today, three working-class white Northerners discuss racism! Will we fix the world? Tune in to find out! youtu.be/xGc2FVdj3Dc

Me, looking at timestamp: This seems like a long time to get to the joke Me, watching for 15sec: I am absolutely watching this whole thing

Something I won’t ever do is answer for another trans person’s violence. One transfem did a shooting? Fuck off if you think I should go out of my way to “condemn” more than I would when the hundreds of right wing men do it. Happy to condemn you being an opportunistic little cunt about it though.

The fact that losing a democratic election because you expected to coast casually to victory basically uncontested is viewed as a "hostile takeover" is itself the very reason a leadership shakeup is badly needed.

"the left is simply too mean these days!!" meanwhile 100 years ago a pottsville woman is howling for blood in rhyme
