Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

New term for that neurodivergent thing where you have a weird amount of knowledge about something because it was one of your hyperfixations for a couple of months twelve years ago: a PDHD EG: “how come you know so much about soviet sitcoms of the 1980s?” “Oh, I have a PDHD in that”

I love Turkey. A complicated country with a complicated history, just like everywhere else- but the food, the landscape, the culture of hospitality, the wine (my god, the wine!); I love this place, and have done for 25 years. It does get a bit too bloody hot in the afternoons though

A timely demonstration of the huge gap between the Labour Party membership and the bunch of weird business suits who’ve insinuated their way in to dominating the current parliamentary party. Their outsize influence been an ongoing problem for 30 years, and needs redressing for democracy’s sake.

I like James Norton as an actor a lot, but his accent in House of Guinness is a serious test of that affection

On this week's show, we're rating more swords! Some big ones in this batch, too.

Look, I’ve been biting my tongue about this, because I am perfectly willing to admit I may have missed something, but I have to ask: that Noah Beelatsky guy who keeps getting reposted everywhere, didn’t he work for a “minor attracted persons” advocacy group? I thought we all agreed he was a creep?

I’m not the first to say this, but the thing about that horrifying Stan Lee digital death mask corpse-puppet is that the man himself would have absolutely loved it. If he could have had them made and sent to every comic con in the world while he was alive, he would have.

Aside from everything else that’s great about this, I am also a big fan of the testicle arrow

When Dirty Harry Met Sally

I’ve shared this before but it’s worth sharing repeatedly, because it’s so bloody good

I’ve said it before, any judge who so comfortably and clearly shows their prejudice should immediately be barred from their jobs, but we don’t live in a world that makes sense. We live in a world where white people get to deem racism as a simple inconvenience and be the sole arbiter of its weight.

"To be honest - you would have probably gotten away with it, Mr. Hickman. Your ONE mistake was leaving a chart with the title 'my plan for a perfect murder' with your name, signature and logo on your desk. And on your desktop. And publishing it in a major marvel comics event."

How rad is this watercolour by @sequentialmatt.bsky.social of Jared Stevens, the Man Called Fate? You got a comics blorbo? Maybe commission a portrait from Matt!

Finally got round to watching the Alien: Earth finale. As with most of the series since about episode 3, I’m mystified by the complaints I’ve seen. I thought it was an exciting and satisfying end to the season, and I’m very interested to see where it’s going to go next.

One of the greatest country songs- and therefore one of the greatest songs, period- ever written and recorded youtu.be/cPrT6Mf2rl4?...

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

“Well, fuck my old boots”

I’m in Turkey. It’s beautiful.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without prep 1. Comics history 2. Heavy metal music 3. Myself And honestly, through the magical power of ADHD, basically anything,- as long as you don’t mind lots of digressions

You know what’s exhausting and unhelpful? Long angry threads about “oh you’re willing to fight for [very well known thing that got lots of mainstream publicity] but not [thing that only the most politically engaged and extremely online people know about]”. That is chastising the wrong people

Related to that “art as art” post I reposted earlier- my engagement with Tarantino movies (which I’ve always liked a lot anyway) ratcheted up massively after listening to his book, where not only does he quite happily describe films he loves, like Dirty Harry, as fascist, it also becomes clear…

Cat is staring at me and I don’t know why

Looking at art as Art - something that doesn’t have to swaddle you up in emotional comfort and confirm you - gives you the chance to think about what you hold as moral and why. If you want art to agree with you all the time, you erode your ability to question the world and yourself

holy shit holy shit holy shit

There are too many movies I think are perfect for me to choose one for that meme.

A polydactylic cat walks into a bar. It says, "I would like, in pursuance of my desire to have a drink, to buy a drink." The barman asks, "Why the unnecessary extra clause?"

Anyway, I could do with filling that gap in finances with a couple of commissions. Usual rates apply (£50 A5, £80 A4, £150 A3, all plus postage) for hand drawn pen and ink on Bristol Board. Email me [email protected] if you're interested bevismusson.bigcartel.com/commissions
