Another day of wishing that a historic fighting game studio wasn’t bought by the Saudi Arabian government to be used as an arm of propaganda to cover up their human rights offenses.

It seems churlish to pick on Oxfam in this way, but come the fuck on guys

Nice of Terry here to let his big arm double as Andy's big arm. definitely not just a bit of sloppy positioning of the 3 main guys from Shinkiro, who is correct to not bring his A-game to current SNK

it's nice to spend a minute or so on the page of the "no ID cards" petition just watching the numbers go up. Like when covid hit the scene and I was glued to the BBC "how many cases are there, currently" page, except less terrifying

had a dream that I was angry at having to hear the Disturbed cover of The Sound of Silence, which had added eye-rolly lyrics of the 'offensive gothic insane asylum' variety. This is what I get for watching that shit Rollins-presented horror anthology before bed

As Is traditional, It's time for the day after my birthday is not my birthday sale -in which all comics in my shop are 30% off with the code IFORGOT till midnight. It only happens once a year, so get yourselves involved! stripforme.bigcartel.com

Issue #25 of our newsletter is out now, ft. a new @grthink.bsky.social strip, Aslan Moore, Alien Earth, The Vile Dead, Whizzer and Chips, bloody tesseracts, and Mark (amypoodle)'s headstone. "In some very real way, everything we write is for-or to-him."

Oh, are you up for that, Sir Keir. Are you mad for it, mate. Up for a few cheeky deportations, are you.

Don't have super-fond memories of Parks and Recreation though I enjoyed the first bunch of seasons at the time. However I do like to remember the scene where Tammy throws Aziz Ansari into a bookcase

If I turned dow half a mil for playing a show in Riyadh I wonder if the DWP would stop my benefits

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

That those people, the reforrrrm voters, the trump fans, the revolting old racists exist... Isn't surprising... What's disgusting and unforgivable is them being permitted to control the conversation even by the institutions you used to be able to trust for a modicum of sanity

Just stop letting those lying racist fuckers define all the terms all the time. Just fucking stop.

Completely gone off the new Marvel fighting game recently since the surprise at the excellent presentation of the character select and fight intro etc wore off. However, I like it again after seeing Robbie Reyes run Spider-man over in his possessed car.

listening to some Parts & Labor, the ideal band for if you want to listen to Celtic Rock but also want to seem cool and have plausible deniability

If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it! That’s just me though.

The final Worrywart weekend begins! We're fully funded and the campaign ends on Thursday! Get the 32 page monster-fantasy comic by me, @lanedraws.bsky.social and @lettersquids.bsky.social, our pinup by @elkowalczuk.bsky.social and all my old comics as add-ons! www.kickstarter.com/projects/nic...

got tons to do but can't get me brains to settle into it. Classic stuff from the modern human mind. I suppose deleting this 'inter net' would be a start

We’re never going to get a better console name than this, are we? Wonderswan is up there, mind.

Not just a hangover - those are the curry sweats, or I'm a Dutchman

Keir Starmer's entire strategy to combat the far-right.

"Lisey's Story" is an interesting tv show in that it's not her story at all, it's just her reading her husband's books or being told stuff by her husband, or her having to react to stuff that's happened relating to her husband.

All the names are going to come out on the Epstein files and - pessimism alert - no one is going to give a shit

Limbless, Slippery RFK Jr.: ‘Becoming An Eel Is A Sign Of Good Health’ https://theonion.com/limbless-slippery-rfk-jr-becoming-an-eel-is-a-sign-of-good-health/

going to watch a film with a very unremarkable poster and the in-film look of something that should have cyborgs in it

So this one is a bit different than the other books I have scanned, in that it is borrowable in many ways but, my copy was falling apart so rather than have it exist asa spine on a shelf I decided to tear it down and make it available online. This is The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comic

There are now nearly 1.5 million names on this. Starmer massively misreading the mood of the nation yet again.

bloody lgbts ruining every mate, Balatro absolutely not giving me the Straights I needed there

thinking of my youth and falling asleep to the ultimate song on my portable CD player: "I Am Not Lonely With Cricket" by Papa M, on a disc with a scratch that means the already-long tune skips back to minute 3 at about 9 minutes in and gets stuck in a loop until the batteries run out

Just described a period in history to @mattsheridan.bsky.social as “back when I could be impressed by special effects.“ And I had to pause, and think about that, and no, that’s right. That is a time period that is over.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

I’m not worried about illegal immigration. I’m worried about you paving the way to a far-right government because you’re useless, weak, cowardly, cruel and stupid. We need rid of this trash-bag of a man as Prime Minister

I used to be an optimist about insane government ideas never really becoming the law. But then we had Brexit and Trump elected (twice) so now I’m much more pessimistic when someone suggests a mad idea.

I hope the Riyadh Comedy Festival and the comedians playing it are absolutely plastered in obnoxious advertising for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Louis CK in a "REV IT UP" shirt walking onstage with his arm around the dipshit DJ tracksuit guy. No dignity for these people

The great rivalry renewed for a new Generation #transformers #maccadam

Assumed for years this'd be pulpy sort of back-of-Previews stuff, kind of Midnight Sons unhassled by Marvel nonsense and the CCA. While it approaches that a bit in the early issues, it sadly turns cutesy quite quickly. Don't think I'll bother with volume 2, though I love Brereton's art

Also: good drivers hate defensive walking! I come to a cross walk. There are two cars. One waves me through. The other isn’t making eye contact. I wait, because I don’t want to die. The other car is like “what the fuck, pedestrian, just go! You’re holding us all up!”

Jar Jar Binks is more important than any Sequel character. Jar Jar is more important than his contemporary rival Shrek as well.

Taking the thrilling art gamble of "Is the ink dry enough to put the page in the scanner without staining it" #news

watched 'Running with Scissors', which I quite liked. Annette Bening was very good, with some great line deliveries that were very 'Patti Harrison character'

(huge sigh, approaches keyboard, types) 28 Years Later With Jools Holland (turns off internet, has dinner)

my prediction is that starmer and his pals'll try to seem like good guys by being all "we've listened to you and taken your considerations on board, and as such, we're no longer calling it the 'Brit Card'. Other than this detail it's still going ahead as planned"
