Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted: manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

People call themselves “bisexual disasters” but they always mean “I’m 11 minutes late for everything and sometimes I forget to book my smear test” as opposed to like, Caravaggio

THOUGHT BUBBLE MONTH review! The Hanging – A Pre-Apocalyptic Dystopia Seen Through a Family Dynamic by @aaronlosty.bsky.social, from Strangers Publishing @strangers.bsky.social. @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social #ThoughtBubbleatBF25 www.brokenfrontier.com/the-hanging-... Review by our Gary Usher.

1986

Ah, Rats by @scarygorgon.bsky.social was both v good and surprisingly aspirational. Real taste of the forest floor. You'll believe a rat can try.

"Employers who’ve mandated a return to the office have paid a price… S&P 500 companies had abnormally high turnover following [RTO mandates,] especially high among women, senior staff and more skilled staff." Mandates also made vacancies take longer to fill. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/07/t...

A real sag and thank fuck it's over end to the working week.

Guys I FOUND my Elliott Gould sketch I thought was lost years ago! Should I make prints for Thought Bubble?

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

Oooooh

Here are the four ultra unique copies of Hellblazer: Dead in America that are coming with me to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social. Each one fully painted on the inside of the cover. I’ll be sitting with Scott’s collectibles. And yes, that last one glows under black light

since chatgpt has coached another young person in a mental health crisis to their death, I am yet again tapping the sign

I am honestly sick of being told — at a university FFS — that we need to ‘embrace’ this profoundly unethical and irresponsible technology.

Objectively hilarious.

I really hope someone's checking in on Dienne Kawende, 27.

Look forward to lots of drinks and hugs with some good friends next week, see you all there!

In one week, I’ll be setting up to guest at the mighty Thought Bubble comic festival. I’m in the Comixology Hall, Table B15 - and I’m on a Sunday panel too! I’ll have all my books, including my new Hello Darkness issue for Boom! Studios, Killtopia: Complete, BPM + more! Hope to see you there 👋

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Warning to all UK and worldwide comics folk. Never have anything to do with Frazer Brown. If you don't know why, google Tales From The Quarantine.

Rangers made the quarter-finals of the Europa League last season, and were a bit unluckily not to go further. Kevin Thelwell has come in, disbanded that side, spent £20m and has created a team who have lost every match, 8 goals against, 1 for. You can't fail this hard and keep your job.

This from the guy who sat in a garden and told the World's media that he drove somewhere during lockdown to check his own eyes were working properly.

Coming Kickstarter soon! Volume 1 of Clearwater!

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Ethan Hawke is 55. Here’s his 9min Ted Talk on creativity. I’ve shown this to my students to inspire them to be true to themselves as artists now & in the future. Refreshingly sincere & just great advice. youtu.be/WRS9Gek4V5Q

I also have a new set of stickers! I’m doing a wee calendar+stickers bundle too ✌️ artbyneilslorance.etsy.com

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

lol

Look can A.I. really be a bubble if all it requires is 2 trillion dollars and all the planet's drinkable water to make money? I think not.

Hey, remember when the banks were “too big to fail”? Hard nosed capitalism for us, corporate communism for them. Surely any true free market capitalist will be aghast at this?

Comic creators, stick in, work really hard and one day, you will be able to afford to look at a photograph of Superman #1. #Believe

Attention bluesky Show me the X-M(a)n

Marvel's Daredevil: The Illustrated History is now available in bookstores! Over 60 years of Daredevil, all in an illustrated book that I wrote. I'm beyond proud of how it turned out. For all Matt Murdock fans out there, I think you're gonna really enjoy it! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Marvel...

Amazing looking comic still funding right now on KS!

Always a pleasure to talk comics and crowdfunding with the mighty @brokenfrontier.bsky.social Check out our latest interview here for all-new info on Phantoms that I haven’t discussed anywhere else 👀

I've deleted some posts from earlier today. Stand by my comments 100% but don't want to cause potential trouble for any other party. I remain very angry and this ain't over by a damn sight.

Re the Cola ad and the quotes from their AI head: I won't QT their slop, but you can simply ignore the genie if the genie is shit, looks terrible, runs on stolen work and destroys the environment. There is no obligation to use AI simply because it exists, this is the argument of a goon.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Rotten experience at the Falkirk Howgate Post Office today, where I walked in pissing rain to drop off some parcels. Guy behind the counter couldn't get his scanner to work properly and refused to accept. No interest in helping, couldn't have given less of a fuck. No wonder their shop was empty.

Watch every establishment aspect of America now continue try to take Mamdani down and, in essence, attempt to thwart the will of the people. A great victory for the left, but one hell of a fight now.

If, like me, you work up some nonsense in your life that took over your morning I just want you to check: Did you eat? Have you had some water? If you're on medications, did you take them? I had forgotten to do all these things until just now.

I’d say this was like John Terry taking off his suit and putting on a full kit to accept a winner’s medal, but John Terry didn’t spend his entire career putting in scything tackles on his own goalkeeper and blasting the ball over and over into his own team’s net.
