Comics makers! Bid on mentoring from Nick "made me cry so much with Laika" Abadzis the #Creatives4Sudan auction app.galabid.com/creatives4su... @nickabadzis.bsky.social

Picked this up from @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social at Thought Bubble and it’s excellent. Digging (biting?) into the dark reality of what happened to Quint’s USS Indianapolis. Very recommended. Churchill apparently declared that the British Government was ‘entirely opposed to sharks.’

Right, I've pulled my finger out and got my cards sorted. Hand drawn A6 greetings cards. So un-ai they aren't even printed. Every one a unique work of daft art. Order now in time for Christmas, just not too many or it'll hurt my hand! happytoast.co.uk/cards/

One millennial complaint that I have no sympathy for is how hard it is to search for things on the internet these days. When I was a kid if I wanted to know something I had to look it up in a book. And that book was often in a library. Or sometimes in a bookshop, but they were not inviting places.

TS ELIOT: In the room the women come and go / Talking of Michelangelo RAPHAEL: Typical. Typical. LEONARDO: Did they say anything about the rest of us?

My new thing is refusing to go to a social event and then yelling at the happy, content people who want mw to come. It’s called “doing a pluribus”

I can‘t be the only one looking at Mamdani and thinking he’s going to be President in 10 years

Elon Musk is currently crying and repeatedly asking Grok “Who is the fairest of them all?”

And all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!" ... and I'll look down, and whisper "No."

This Is Just To Say I would like the passwords that are in your memory and which you were probably saving for someone else

“A brilliantly trippy clash of minds that’s as precisely measured as the wraps of illicit powder these two are caning — and resonant enough to recall classic psychological two-handers like Sleuth.” Evening Standard gives GAME ★ ★ ★ ★ Out in UK cinemas today.

What are you doing this weekend? SEEING THIS FILM, that’s what. It’s brilliant. And Jason Williamson is fucking magnetic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZbC...

Tense indie thriller Game, touring UK cinemas now, is inspired by JG Ballard and Steven Spielberg’s Duel. We chat to its makers: filmstories.co.uk/features/gam...

I will never join your McDonalds loyalty scheme and earn points, I will not let the shame of this transaction follow me home.

“Quiet piggy” is what I will say when It Happens

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for day. Teach a man to fish and he'll make at least four seasons of light, whimsical BBC 2 television with a vague feeling of unspecified nostalgia.

I did a blog about forgetting my banner for Thought Bubble and how I came up with a solution www.nedhartley.com/blog-avenue/...

The internet really has revolutionised how strangers can tell you that they don't care for that thing that you enjoy.

More signage

Thought Bubble! Find me in Bubbleboy hall and admire my design skills! #thoughtbubble

Updated sign! Still at Thought Bubble, Bubbleboy Hall k-23! #thoughtbubble

Hello! I’m at Thought Bubble in Bubbleboy Hall table k-23! Come and see me and marvel at my signage!

I just think what politics in this country was missing is bitter, factional in-fighting.

A little warning to those attending @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in Harrogate this weekend - I received a scam email about my hotel booking (which included correct dates and costs) asking for an advance payment. It was from the hotel but an online scam.

The reason that the Wile E Coyote movie was shelved is that audiences would be confused about how he was alive in the movie, after in the TV show he fell down a ravine then an anvil landed on his head and then he got blown up by dynamite.

The real problem with the Bond franchise is that I'm no longer age 10, watching these movies with my Dad on a Saturday afternoon. They should bring that back.

We've had reports of scam emails relating to hotels booked for this weekend and wanted to send out a warning; please be vigilant! If you receive an email relating to a booking we suggest you call your hotel directly, through a number found independently, to verify its authenticity.

I‘ve seen three Spider-Mans and about twenty Batmans. I can handle another Bond reboots.

Now THIS is how you do the reboot!

“I don’t have any ideas about how to reboot one of the most popular franchises ever” is not a thing that a writer has said.

Heads up 😅 Sex Matters have launched their own MP letter-writing campaign insisting on trans segregation, an exclusionary Code etc etc 📝Let’s make sure our letters outnumber theirs+++ Template here! If you’ve already written, grab a mate & get them to write too 🤗 actionnetwork.org/letters/scra...

Bluesky today

If the BBC gives even a penny of my licence fee money to Donald Trump I am going to riot.

Richmond station shows some lovely old 1980s adverts. I love how British Rail’s slogan used to be the incredibly passive aggressive “We’re Getting There”

Are you trying to fucking kill Alan Moore, you bastards?

What‘s the difference between Elon Musk and Scott of the Antarctic? Scott wasn‘t absolutely killed by Oates

Oates turned Musk into Dril

We should reclaim the word “woke”. I‘ve never seen it used to mean anything other than “not racist”. We should be proud to be woke.

Every year I toy with the idea of making this my banner for Thought Bubble, and every year I chicken out.
