True ending, on a Sunday morning ⚔️

Today, at work, having completed Act I of Silksong before leaving the house, and 90% of people not being in the office, due to the tube strike.

Absolute Wonder Woman: what would the unfolding mythological, magickal, and theological implications of shifting Diana’s origin to Hades be? Absolute Batman: WHAT IF HE WAS HUGE

Great/horrible book - does the Providence thing of a world going increasingly off-kilter and shifting into an inexorable nightmare logic.

Absolute Wonder Woman having the same energy as Madeline Miller’s Circe, a really good run on Hades/Hades II and this panel from Final Crisis is, let’s be frank (no pun intended), A Good Time.

The Sopranos, s02e07 “D-Girl” (2000, dir. Allen Coulter)

Wheeeee

Many people are saying this.

Here lies one whose name was writ in water.

Donkey Kong Bananza succeeds, simply because it dares to ask the question: what if Totoro wore bootcut jeans and was an absolute bloody party legend?

Invading the pitch during a major tournament to get a lifetime ban in order to never hear Sweet Caroline ever again.

@stevewmorris.bsky.social TOO SCARY >:(

@shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article... obvs in town to come and scope the comics you have for sale tomorrow

Hitting up the freezer section for a restock of lollies, mid-heatwave:

Wimbledon, Women’s Euros, and Summer Games Done Quick all taking place at the same time.

Fuck July 4th, the only national holiday I’m celebrating today is:

The dichotomy of heatwaves in the UK - screaming at the sun to fuck the fuck off while also enjoying a delicious Rowntrees® Fruit Pastilles ice lolly.

Dumps like a truck (truck, truck) Guys like what (what, what)

The real question, with my Switch 2's imminent arrival this afternoon, is whether I install Balatro on a fourth discrete device in my home.

Artists, when you go by their table on the Sunday of a convention to pick up an original art order, and they’re clearly hungover and struggling.

Really hope TCJ readers are ready for three months of intro paragraphs talking about the fits that Wario has in Mario Kart World starting next week.

Welcome… to Jurassic Park [20 minute guitar solo]

Slight dissonance to Conan using clips from Krull as the backdrop to their live show. What is best in life? Glaives.

Does seem pretty stoic, tbf

Desert Fest this weekend, which means two of my favourite games are back in play: - how many utility kilts will I see across three days? - does this band play songs about weed, songs about wizards, or songs about weed AND wizards?

Re-reading League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, after sourcing a suitably tatty secondhand copy of the omnibus, because I went to grab volume 1 off the shelf and remembered “my” copies of the original trades were actually my dad’s and thus 150 miles away.

I suppose now comes the morbid fascination of watching to see whether the shells of Polygon and Giant Bomb get the Weekend at Bernie’s treatment like that bizarre simulacrum version of Waypoint that Vice have tried to make a thing.

“Nah, can’t come out tonight, my weekend with the kids, mate.”

Good shit.

“This looks like it would be a room in Blue Prince.” “Stop saying that every twenty seconds.”

Every time the comics writers/artists dead horse gets flogged anew.

Aaaaaw 🥺

Developers on the direct never explicitly mentioning the Switch 2 launch date.

Blossom demolition crew has arrived on the scene to ring in the beginning of spring 🌺 🦜

I feel a twinge of guilt every time my streaming selection glides over Zone of Interest (which I do intend to watch) in favour of something like (today, for example) Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.

Finally made it to a module that teaches me things I actually WANT to say.

Keep Driving let me relax into its deceptively cosy vibes on my opening run/drive and then I was 30 minutes in and snorting cocaine to give me the energy to work a barista job to buy petrol and then collapsing into a hard withdrawal crash and trying to limp my car to a rehab clinic. 10/10

I hope that the White Lotus opening credits music and the Severance opening credits music are friends in real life.

Never a good sign when I mutter "Well, there won't be a bigger comics news story than THAT this week" three times before Tuesday's even come to a close.

Trying to give the audiobook of Creation Lake the benefit of the doubt, as it’s read by the author, and the narrating character is a stereotypical ugly American abroad, but it features the most unhinged pronunciations of ‘Citroën’ and ‘blancmange’ I’ve ever heard.

This afternoon, forgetting the name of Tom Cruise, my mum described him thusly — “You know, the little fella? He flies around in a helicopter and shows up at football matches.”
