ITV spent a year undercover inside Reform and found a far right party is, shockingly, full of racist c*nts. Farage’s fash for cash gravy train is hurtling towards oblivion and I’m fucking LOVING IT. What we know so far and popcorn at the ready tonight! youtu.be/2IxMD_FZjvQ

How to calculate the largest number in existence: Add up all the podcasts with basic white guys interviewing other basic white guys and then multiply that by comedians interviewing other comedians. You could then divide thatby true crime podcasts but why bother?

How I arrived on Bluesky.

I jokingly said it was Starship Troopers inspired. The small print confirms it is. Turns out the Republicans are the only Americans who didn’t misinterpret who the bad guys were in that film. Kudos.

DREDD reread has reached COMPLETE CASEFILES v09 - we kick off with a classic, "Midnight Surfer", Cam Kennedy on art duties and in full force. The return of Chopper and it's his strip, Dredd is the antagonist, a role he will fulfil more in future as the strip evolves. Fertile seeds planted here.

Okay, so when the regime falls, and it will, they all do, I think the Democrats are going to have to put that entire brainwashed third of the country into some sort of re-education camp and sort them the fuck out. They can’t just be left to fester, they need to be fixed. Might seem a bit extreme…

I agree 100% I’ve seen this film dozens of time and I can honestly say it help form my feminist outlook. Also, a lifelong appreciation for the wonderful talents of Dolly, Jane, Lily, Dabney and of course Elizabeth Wilson as the incredible Roz. ‘I’ll turn you from a rooster to a hen with one shot!’

Strewth mate, democrats are madder than a cut snake. How the fuck is McConnell supposed to make a video when the poor old bastard has croaked? Wind your neck in!

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

“Sometimes people just explode.”

Where do they come up with these incredible ideas?

I think the only way the US Republicans can both survive the midterms and a transition of power from Donald to any one of the personality vacuums that orbit him is for that dumb fuck to be successful assassinated. Huge bump in the polls, massive support behind the new guy and the grift can go on.

Well, there is one independent way…

Day of the Triffids forever ruined me for any such event. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Wonderful. It’s been an absolute joy over the years to see that Luke Skywalker AND Mark Hamill truly are the shooting stars of decency that I always hoped they were right from the age of 7 all those years ago.

I’m sure she took great comfort in the, conservatively, 5 minutes of screen time in total the women in The Odyssey received. And there was even that one moment the ‘witch’ spoke of her sister. Take that Bechdel!

This is why your country is absolutely fucked. The media laughing away with their cocktails as a fascist rapist pig gleefully destroys the country. Fucking traitors everyone.

This is anti-woke bollocks from Musk, but why don’t the right love the Nolan’s film? - the main family is white - barely any female roles - meatiest female character is a lonely old witch - the black characters all die, except one who’s identical sister dies - the useless white nepo becomes king

Should be honoured for making a skinless woman, smoking, whilst wearing a white suit the sexiest thing you ever did see.

What I find most disheartening about the ‘woke’ bullshit surrounding The Odyssey is that it just another mainstream film about a white man’s struggle, his white wife and his white son. I mean, I don’t know if Nolan is specifically a misogynist, but he seems utterly uninterested in women’s stories.

Here’s the Christopher Nolan challenge; if he’s such a great film maker let’s see him make a film that’s 90 minutes long and is about a woman.

My 7-year old always asks me to play ‘her music’ in the car. This morning she asked for Blue Monday by New Order, and then she sang along with me to Black Sheep by Metric. See, there’s a myriad of ways you can fuck your kids up.

Pretty sure I’ve heard this complaint before.

In my macabre head-canon, "The Nightmare Man" is a very bleak sequel to "Firefox". (Spoilers: both premises revolve around a Russian thought-controlled aircraft).

The vile human being and ‘typical’ republican senator Lindsey Graham died this day, today,at the age of who-gives-a-fuck. He’s most remembered for whatever horrendous and information emerges about him in the next few days, months but not years.

Graham dead, O’Connell probably dead… it’s good but I’m sure there’s someone else’s death that could trump them both.

Movies based on these companies characters released since 1977 - Image - 15 Dark Horse - 16 Marvel Comics - 75 DC Comics - 140 . . 2000AD - 2 and a bit… So you’ll excuse me for being quite excited about hopefully seeing Rogue Trooper soon, @manmademoon.bsky.social @2000ad.bsky.social

John Wyndham, born today in 1903. Most unpopular with Them That Know when I was growing up, his reputation now seems, thankfully, to be secure. But then, when you think of the sci-fi classics he wrote - Day Of The Triffids, The Kraken Wakes, The Midwich Cuckoos etc - then it darn well should be.

Not only was The Expanse woke’d to the gills with incredible women is the main roles, it was also one of the best tv shows ever made!

Apple TV’s hit rate for quality sci-fi is wild. Star City For All Mankind Foundation Silo Severance Murderbot Dark Matter Pluribus Constellation (RIP) Honestly at this stage they should buy The Expanse from Amazon and finish the series.

Players

Well that seems about right for me…

I'm booked to be the Prime Minister after Andy Burnham, first two weeks in August. Looking at the calendar, we've got Prime Ministers booked through to next June apart from the last two weeks in November. Anyone free? Your chance to make Brexit work?

This feels like it’s going to be quite incredible @2000ad.bsky.social! So what was your most mind blown 2000AD and where were you? Mine is the penultimate Zenith Phase 4, with the Lloigor realising they were trapped which I gasped out loud at whilst reading it in WHSmiths in Brighton town centre.

I feel this should actually say - ‘Fucking Kevin O’Neill’ Because that’s the kind of energy he brought to every panel he drew.

Me no gawd wiv centensez.

Literally one of the only celebrities I’ve ever met. Can’t imagine any subsequent unlikely encounters with celebs could ever measure up.

Typical Bluesky post: ‘I just watched Star Wars (1977) for the first time. Quite enjoyed it but can’t see why it’s such a big deal also the effects seem really dated.’

Remembering Benton Toboggan, best known for role of Dr Brown in the 1923 movie ‘Lorks ave mercy’. Died today in 1926. If he were still alive now he’d be dead.

A great breakdown of the history of The Dark Judges from @stoked.bsky.social Check It Out! :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN3P...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

The thing about Trump and Board of Paedophiles is if they can’t fuck the kids they’ll kill them, especially if they’re brown.
