Well Done Spain.

Is it over yet?

NEW: Who funds Nigel Farage? And why has it taken till now for any journalistic scrutiny? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social who has tracked him for a decade exposes how the UK press & regulators looked the other way 🧵👇

"The newly appointed Minister for AI is expected to meet with the Minister for NFTs, Lord Blockchain and the Secretary of State for Pogs this afternoon."

Fantasycon 2027 with World Fantasy Convention will be in Birmingham on the 24th - 26th September 2027. More details of the decisions can be found here: file770.com/statement-ab...

Just re-read Judgement on Gotham (it came out in 91) and was instantly transported back to that Christmas Day. My poor mum would have had to have braved Forbidden Planet to get it. The story basically serves to ask the question 'What cool stuff can get Bisley to draw?' Anderson looks different.

My one issue with comparing everything to section 28 is this. This is much worse than section 28. I lived through section 28 but what is happening now is a hyper focused attack by over 50 + anti rights organisations who don't just want to ban the queer teachings they want to ban queer people

34 Candidates, and yet seemingly they can all fit in that one car... #clacton

This was fun.

Is it really an Edinburgh Fringe until someone presses reply all to the press list?

If Rowling kills Amnesty UK, she will be directly responsible for the deaths of many people. That's billionaires for you, I guess. Happy for the little people to die.

Chuck all your Harry Potter shit in the garbage. Purge everything this slavering bridge troll has ever touched from your life. Be loud about it. It's no longer good enough to passively say you no longer support her.

Look on the bright side, England, it's only 3.5 prime ministers until the next world cup!

STARBURST’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 Picks @edfringe.bsky.social

STARBURST’s Favourite Acts Returning to The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 @edfringe.bsky.social

Tax Billionaires. Through the nose. It's a thing we should be saying in response to a lot of things. Sudden rise in people getting stripped of their rights? - Tax Billionaires. Rise in AI slop? Tax Billionaires. Drop in media standards? Tax Billionaires. You get the idea.

Don't programme stuff like this. If you want lazy ragebait warbling, YouTube has you covered. I don't go to geek conferences to listen to the same four people burbling on about how they don't like change. ( A panel of clueless folk is the most tedious thing ever.)

Well I’ve spent the whole of #NorEng drawing the three English lions on a tote bag, time well spent even if we don’t win

The core power fantasy with Superman isn't his god-like powers, but that if you had those powers, you'd use them for the good of everyone. That you'd somehow figure that out. Marvel actually nailed this vibe with 80's Starbrand; as the main character was mostly paralysed with indecision.

GB News has *yet again* aired commentary linking LGBTQ+ people to paedophilia... www.attitude.co.uk/news/gb-news... These advertisers appeared in the ad slot which followed: All Clear Travel, Maxus, Repair My Kitchen, Mobex Touch, Mansfield Fireplaces and Stoves Centre

You can have a different view about a person's life than you have about their death.

City Council of Darkness (over on @dropout.tv ) is genuinely not the silliest game of Vampire I've ever seen. Fun though.

I wonder how many LARP/Cosplay adjacent folk are thinking about designing a 'Bin Themed Space Tyrant Business Suit' suitable for Parliament?

Broken Binding, who produce some of the most beautiful editions, are publishing some new work from @paulcornell.bsky.social - always welcome! www.thebrokenbindingpublishing.com/news/paul-co...

I just realised what AI image generators remind me of: Pin Impression Toys. They're diverting for a minute, you go 'yeah, that's fun', then you've basically seen it. And sure, you can keep pushing different shapes to make yet another shape, but that's all they actually do, it's profoundly empty.

Uhm Google, I'm pretty sure that's the wrong image for @blackbrighttheatre.bsky.social's excellent show The Hunger (returning to the @edfringe.bsky.social this year.) Unless Paddington is involved somehow and I missed it. He is a horror icon, after all.

Did you know this years ENNIEs judges were 100% white and 80% male? Anyway unrelatedly here's the application to judge next year ennie-awards.com/judge-applic...

Only ever so slightly worried about seeing this show... #EdFringe

Huh, Empire got a name drop (sort of) on Smartypants.

Send us your sorcerous submissions to ponder carnyxpress.co.uk/submissions/

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

So many AI dorks calling themselves “prompt engineers” thinking they’re the best at asking a computer the right question for shitty art, yet would be befuddled by two brothers standing at a fork in the road claiming that one only lies while the other only tells the truth.

AISLE 7 - Chips - Cookies - Quackers

Get 6-7 March 2027 in your diaries, Earthlets — it's our 50th birthday and we're having a party! Exciting details to be announced in the coming months...

King in the North? As the Prime Minister? *begins to learn The Rains of Castamere for when Burnham inevitably victimises the same folk as Starmer and I want something funny to play when I have to go on a protest. *

Overworked cat requires competent butler. Must understand proportional representation, how to open a sardine cat without slicing their off fingers, and international relations. Previous applicants need not apply.

I hope I will never again hear an opponent of electoral reform smugly telling me how the UK's first-past-the-post system guarantees stable government.

Starmer is refusing to allow debate time for the Early Day Motion about the EHRC ‘guidance’, despite it being signed by over 140 MPs. If we get 100,000 signatures on this petition we can force a debate.

they don't even need to ban X, they just need to give their media regulator actual teeth to levy fines and punishment on social platforms that continue to break the law

I've been watching Babylon 5 (along with @merrittk.com) and it's striking how almost every episode is criticizing a) fascism, b) xenophobia/racism, c) homophobia, d) theocratic conservatism. @straczynski.bsky.social wrote that shit woker than The Pitt S2. No way an exec would greenlight it today.

Well that was "I have no mouth, let's get Ice Cream", aka The Amazing Digital Circus. Worth the journey.

Yuuuup. "Don't Engage, Just Block" is still very much the way to go around these here parts

Sick of seeing Nigels face every where.

If Burnham is King in the North, does that mean Starmer is about to host some sort of Red Meeting? (Red for Labour). Will Ed Sheeran be there?

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.
