Ice Cream Man continues to be the most interesting, weird, and bloody brilliant book out there.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

I follow a few art accounts like this and when they pop up in my timeline and I can literally feel the calming effect they have on me. Often a good reminder to just log out for a while.

"You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you’re too busy. Then you should sit for an hour." This is a skeet about "AI" rush-to-adoption FOMO.

SUPERMAN #33 Variant Cover.

This is the first time that Thought Bubble are running formal portfolio reviews (I think) and it's an amazing opportunity for artists.

£350 off from our £8000 stretch-goal of Bookmarks and Dust Jackets! Incredible! Thank you all so much! Griff is so damn fun to write with @rapiaghi.bsky.social, and @rorydraws4.bsky.social adds so much character & life to our Drunk Punk in a Ghostly Funk. www.kickstarter.com/projects/169...

Salaries for government positions should be a fixed multiple of the minimum wage so that politicians can't give themselves raises without raising minimum wage

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

This just became my most anticipated book of the year. Look at that artwork! And airships!!! I'm a sucker for an airship.

If you write women characters but don't work with women creators, what's up with that?

Ireland's President Michael D. Higgins suggests Israel and states supplying it with weapons be excluded from the United Nations, in light of the genocide conclusions in the UN CoI report. @president.ie #Spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/2025/09...

A voice that is very sadly missed. 'Use of Weapons' remains one of my favourite statements on war. An utterly brilliant novel (amongst many brilliant novels of his).

All these Tory MPs switching to Reform.

"We have some breaking news. A report by the United Nations has concluded Israel is committing genocide in Gaza"

Saw Ukranian folk band DakhaBrakha at the Sounds from a Safe Harbour festival in Cork. They were experimental, playful, emotional, raucous, and an utterly joyful celebration of the power of music. An amazing gig.

Debuting this evening at 5PM on Cúla4 - Am Abú - my first TV show. I was head writer and this was a blast to make, and I think it's going to be loads of fun to watch.

Jesus christ. I am so tired and so disappointed. All these people went "yeah, I'll take an audio book paycheck over solidarity with trans lives, that's cool." Every single one should be ashamed.

'Unprecedented'??? He thinks A Russian incursion into another country has no precedent? I think he needs to look up the definition of 'unprecedented'.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police. Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

allyship isn’t a badge or status you’re granted in perpetuity. it’s the daily work of disrupting entrenched patterns that silence+sideline the most marginalized. you don’t become an ally; you *ACT* in ways that are allied/in solidarity/consistent with the values you claim on those yard signs.

Protestors in Nepal overthrew the government in less than 48 hours due to corruption. They refused a curfew, spread protests across all cities, fought police in roaming street battles, burnt down politicians' houses, stole military weapons, stormed the parliament & burnt it, forced the PM to resign.

Immigrants are a net good and more people should be saying so. Signed, an immigrant.

This is hugely important: If you use the Atlantic's author search tool, a TON of comics don't come up because they don't have creators listed. I just found like all my comics work looking directly and it sucks. So, make sure you're very thorough in your search.

Going to be posting about this a lot this week, but my FIRST EVER TV SHOW airs this Thursday, 5PM, on Cúla4, the kids version of TG4. I was head writer, and worked with the most amazing bunch of people to bring this to life. I think it's a lot of fun, and you should check it out.

Covering this up is a disgrace, but sadly, not in the least surprising. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Daryl Cunningham's work is brilliant. Terrific examples of the range that comics can have - biographical, educational, while always remaining entertaining. Always fascinating and insightful, and of course very relevant stuff right now.

Back this book! Griff Gristle is a brilliant comic. As well as this gorgeous print, new stretch goals include more story pages in the book, which is objectively the best stretch goal.

Very excited about this! The Lychford books are perfect cosy fantasy, have heart and depth in abundance, along with some brilliantly clever and current takes on traditional faerie and fantasy.

*clown music intensifies*

I remember being 18 at the time of the crash and older adults repeatedly, unprompted, just fucking apologising to me for the state of the country I'd be graduating into. But OK, Bertie, it was CMAT.

Turns out there is nothing like a presidential election to uncover the largest egos in the country. Amazed at the people putting themselves forward - disgraced former taoiseachs, disgraced MMA man-babies, a former meteorologist, businessmen. Amazing stuff. Only surprised Enoch Burke hasn't thrown in

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

Missed out on any GRIFF GRISTLE books over the years? Want a couple of new ones?We’ve got ya… www.kickstarter.com/projects/169...

An idea so good I'm just mad I didn't think of it. Really want to get my hands on this.

Happily backed GRIFF GRISTLE: THE BOATMAN'S CALL graphic novel. This is an all-time favourite indie comic of mine. It's really great stuff, highly recommend checking this one out. www.kickstarter.com/projects/169...

Also, don't trust people who say being against fascism is bad for business. Unless you're doing some weird crypto ponzi scheme, or trying to get a government contract to blow up a border tent, dissent great for business! The Onion is living proof. People flock to you! www.wired.com/story/uncann...

damn Mafalda

There’s a great exchange in The Grapes Of Wrath where a farmer who’s been kicked off his land by a bank meets the guy getting paid peanuts to take it over. The guy is mewling like “well somebody was gonna do it if I didn’t!” and Steinbeck has such a beautiful, visceral, disdain for the character

trans people, you need to live long enough to piss on the bodies of those who tried to kill you. then keep living

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
