Europe: "we're suffering from bad weather" Americans: "have you tried buying things?"

Heatwaves also involve layers upon layers of inequality—like when we learn that the French police punctured and then dismantled a pool bought by young people in a low-income neighborhood. Which probably don't have any air conditioning. We really need to change everything.

DAVE! #Judgedredd #2000AD

Here's OUR librarian. She gets about. This is the bookplate Si did for La Belle Adventure. Also, it's worth saying that while Gigs isn't Si's debut, it is very much his graphic novel too, and he does get appropriate kudos in the review...

Fuck it. Going to water my lawn and if anyone complains, I’m going to say it’s a data centre, that it’s inevitable and you’ve got to get on board or get left behind.

Meet James Purnell. Andy Burnham's chief of staff. In earlier incarnation, he supported the Iraq invasion; was chairman of Labour Friends of Israel; said that Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes should not be sacred; supported PFI, lie-detector tests for benefit claimants. What next?

The Jetsons lied to us

So Aneurin Barnard, our Rogue Trooper, is out here in Annecy, to help promote the film at the festival and went proper HERO today, chasing down, rugby tackling & holding a bag snatcher who had robbed a little old lady in front of him today. Held him till police arrived and then gave the handbag

Another review- 😅👍🏼 www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

All the best to everyone at the #roguetrooper premiere in #annecy, hope the rest of us can get to see it soon!

Burnham needs to get into smaller and smaller means of transport, ending up with him rollerskating into parliament like Frank Spencer

the creation of rolling news channels was a terrible, terrible idea

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Oh fuck off.

so were they just lying about having written the kier starmer christmas special?

ROGUE TROOPER premiere tomorrow night at Aneccy in France. Let’s bath our eyes in these beauties again by Paolo Rivera and @westonfront.bsky.social 🥰

How Duncan Jones Made ‘Rogue Trooper’ Look Like a Studio Epic on an Indie Budget @variety.com variety.com/2026/film/fe...

Comparing coverage of the Belfast and Edinburgh attacks, it seems that if politicians politicise and racialise a crime, then it will get far more attention than a crime that is in itself political and racist but doesn’t serve a political agenda. That’s not a good message

There's even a trailer for the Alan Partridge-a-palooza on iPlayer.

Give it time

This stuff is so infuriating. The filmmakers and marketing team behind “Primate” (2026) should be ashamed of themselves.

MEGA-INTERVIEW! We spoke to mixed-media artist Warwick Fraser-Coombe about his recent work in the Prog and the Meg! How DOES he make these art pieces, anyway?? https://bit.ly/43DGpMt

Funny how cameras come back - I wish I'd kept some of my old ones to play with www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IPE...

Come on, Gland.

“Completely mind-blowing” — the original creators of Rogue Trooper react to seeing @manmademoon.bsky.social’s forthcoming movie! A private screening of the movie — premiering at @annecyfestival.bsky.social — was staged for co-creators Gerry Finley-Day & Dave Gibbons. Their reaction speaks volumes!

“It is a rich content opportunity, and with rights now aligned plus a clear development pipeline in place, the property is ideally positioned for expansion across multiple platforms and categories.” - stirring stuff you’ll agree www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Saw this book announced - think it's a bit of an oversight to not have the actual co-creator represented on the cover @2000ad.bsky.social - you've got Mick McMahon 4 times, Brian Bolland twice, but no Carlos Ezquerra?

I see BlueSky isn't on the banned list. Well kids, I hope you like reruns of Tops of the Pops and sanctimony...😅 x

'We are clamping down on the harm caused by social media. 'Read all about it on the Nazi pogrom deepfake abuse website'

Kane Parsons created a YouTube channel at 9 and - as a teenager - used it as a proving ground to learn filmmaking before releasing his first Backrooms short when he was 16-years-old. Just saying.

Playing with some new True Grit watercolour brushes in Procreate - taking a bit of getting used to, but quite like them. Unlike someone on facebook chipping in on the advert, annoyed that they were digital watercolour and 'stupid' It's not like it's taking away their tubes. I like both.

Duncan let me and Jess watch ROGUE TROOPER last night and HOLY FUCKING SHIT, GANG! It's sooooo fucking good. Hilarious, fun, hard-R violent, adapted straight from the pages of the comic. 2000AD fans are gonna lose their minds, and just try not to throw a fist in the air at the final needle drop. 🤯🤯🤯

Could be dangerous, we'll send the camera operator down first shall we? www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

This is the most annoying mic fashion since holding your phone out horizontally and talking into it while it’s on speaker. THAT’S SO THE THROAT MIC OR BOOM MIC CAN HEAR THE OTHER END OF THE CONVERSATION AND UNLESS YOU’RE MAKING REALITY TV, RIGHT NOW, IT’S AN AFFECTATION, FUCKWAD.

Are the scaffolders done yet?

At this stage, maybe you COULD satirise UK 2026. Racist pogroms deplored by politicians on the very platform that foments that shit. More grannies and vicars and semi-retired gardeners arrested. It's like reality is being edited live by Adam Curtis.

There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.

‘All they want to be is Irish’ What a superb knowledge of Belfast they have.

Uh...

we spent like thirty years arguing about whether games with guns were the problem when it is actually games with any sort of social tracking component. the most violently offensive game in the world has less blood on its hands than pokemon goddamned motherfucking go.

Trying out True Grit Supply's new digital watercolours on a bit of Carlos Ezquerra art

This will go down as a major stain on FIFA and its World Cup before a ball has even been kicked. Infantino has been banging on about the most inclusive World Cup and Africa’s top referee can’t even get into the country. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/w...

Call me an idealist, but I think that a prerequisite for hosting an international sport event should be that you're willing to host an international sport event.

I wish i could have been there in person for this! There was a lovely chat with the lads immediately after the screening where they gave their reaction to seeing their classic up on the big screen. Touched my heart, what they had to say! 😅 💪🏼❤️👍🏼 Thank you Gerry! Thank you Dave!
