So yes! I'm not spending my time on Twitter any more! You are all I really have left! So here is my creative output! House to Astonish! It's the ninth longest running comics podcast in the world, a fact I find motivational and somehow also very funny! housetoastonish.com

I never: 1) have in my life read a Sonic the Hedgehog comic 2) miss an episode of STCTP

Oh not Walter Koenig. Oh that's heartbreaking

As Chris points out, this is the work of the composer/musician Ron Geesin, and you can see Ron's son, Gary Lactus aka @frasergeesin.bsky.social, on stage arsing about with me and @danwhite.bsky.social in Harrogate at 1.45pm on 14 November at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social for SILENCE! To Astonish 2026

I have slagged off kender many times but I would have one of those thieving little pricks in my party seven days out of seven rather than a bore like Gilthanas

One of the things I love most about the Gimmes, which I think makes them more than just a novelty covers act, is the way they interpolate songs to show the base links between really all music youtu.be/s7EGSZUEtBE

Put on my winter coat and did not find a tenner in the pocket, but did find an EDA* *The Ancestor Cell, which goes for about a tenner, so Sailor V, as the French say

Surprise!! I’ll have a new Legend of La Mariposa comic at Thought Bubble this year! This is the first part of a longer story and I’ve only printed a limited run, so come grab some while stocks last!

A pretty terrific episode to round off this half of the season, general shortage of George and Larry aside #snluk s2e6 power rankings Cold open Cher Witch Project Modern Music Weekend Update Nigerian Wicked Thames Water Toenail Rapunzel Monologue B&B Honourable mention to the Hootenanny (Reprise)

That has to be the bleakest Weekend Update so far #snluk

SCRIMPCH! #snluk

The techniques they used to determine this are cool and not anything I would have thought to try (Though to pedantically correct Simon, it's England's oldest pub rather than Britain's - the Sheep Heid Inn in Edinburgh has a few decades on it)

Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta.

Weezer No, wait, they've gone... oh no it's fine, they're back on form ag... no, sorry, they've lost it entir... look, I vote we shut the whole thing down until we can get this sorted out

Does anyone else run a game in Mixtape Hero? If so, where the hell have the controls gone to? I can't edit the game, extend deadlines, or add rounds

They’re not on Bluesky so you can’t tell from here, but the New York Public Library and the Manhattan borough president are currently locked in an incredible Elgin Marbles situation with the UK over Winnie the Pooh and advancing their positions via social media post www.syracuse.com/us-news/2026...

The Hickman Ultimates didn't have data pages to the same extent as the Krakoa books, but in a way, every page of Ultimate Spider-Man was a Gwen diagram

Katie really is very, very good at this. For instance, if she had been editing this post, she would have told me that I didn't need two "very"s in the first sentence. I would have still posted this though, because it's true and because I'm not very smart. Be smart, work with Katie.

the sheep detectives 2: ewe can see everything

Happy New Gimmes Day to all as celebrate

This is joining "absolute horses" in my lexicon

I got the first three issues of this recently and they're all excellent. Big recommend from me

Steve Rogers: oh hi dr Erskine, I'm here for the procedure, it says here I have to enter a power booth? Dr Erskine: oh no sorry that's a typo Voice of Cy Tolliver: just whenever you're ready, son

Two things: -This has the look of 'It's basically done' level trailer. -This is a profoundly heterosexual, dudecentric, WARFIGHTER trailer and it still wasn't enough for them. I saw a comment about the Street Fighter movie earlier about how it feels like a preview of Paramount to come...

Desperately trying to resist posting a Sam & Dave song here

Every gothic horror:

Watching Visionquest as a Brit is basically being exposed to cultural crimes.

Just an absolute act of vandalism

If you're at Thought Bubble this year, and for whatever reason don't fancy SILENCE! To Astonish (and really, it is a very stupid thing) then you should for def go to the romance comics panel that's on at the same time as us and see @brandtandstein.com and @olliegerlach.bsky.social (among others)

There are two reasons I never had trouble accepting Trans people. One is that I got a good biology education even before going to Uni to study it. The other is that I did read Terry Pratchett's fantastic books. If you can do both, but at bare minimum read the books!

"I knew it...!"

The people who did the set dressing on Joker were incredible, mad props

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

I appreciate how Dr El-Sayed has worked out that the best political ads look like a cross between a Food Network opening credits montage and the video for NKOTB's "Tonight"
