Trying to be a serious person, but probably thinking about X-Men and Star Trek.

I can’t say that gig venues put me in the mood to enjoy myself when they go through my bag and chuck out any food and drink in it THEN force me to check it into a (paid) cloakroom anyway. Have decided to invoice Shepherd’s Bush Empire for my losses.

Once you learn about hostile architecture, you see it everywhere.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

My favourite thing about British comedians is how at some point they all start dropping references to daytime television without quite realising that unlike them, most of their audience is not sitting on their ass watching tv until 3pm

Sometimes I get links to gig presales and part of me is CERTAIN that they’re making stuff up and the next line of the email will be “okay, now the millennials have stopped reading, here’s the real line-up…”

Just received a copy of Uncanny X-Men #102 which means I’ve now got a FULL run of #94 - present. Just Giant Size X-Men #1 to go. Anyone got one going spare?

Just to say, I have now been to the all-you-can-eat lasagna restaurant and it was easily the best lasagna I've ever eaten and I will be going back there.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

If you haven’t bought a power bank in the last few years, let me tell you, the tech have moved on. My new one is wireless with MagSafe! And it has a kickstand. The future is now!

The great thing about Spider-Man’s origin is that it’s so simple. Peter Parker, the orphaned child of two secret agents, is selected by the Great Weaver to become a spider-totem in the war against the mystical spider-wasps…

IMPERIAL #1 is so good. I don’t normally care for cosmic storylines but I have a soft spot for the Worldbreaker Hulk and Imperial Guard, so this is right up my street.

Saw a bunch of ads at Old Street today advertising “AI employees” which were so nakedly evil that even now I’m like… was that actually black mirror viral marketing. Slogans like “Employees who won’t go on leave half the year” or “Won’t complain about work-life balance”

the president wont see your cheap dunks against jeffery epstein . But your friends who have ties to state sponsored pedophilia will

Today

Love visiting East London and taking in some street art

Took Em to see The Living Tombstone tonight and being in a crowd of mostly 20-somethings was so interesting when compared with my own experience of going to gigs in my 20s.

Watching Star Trek TNG before IRL AI: Why is Dr Pulaski so meeeean 🥺🥺 After IRL AI: Yeah, get his pasty ass Kathy 💅

GUY SHOOTING CRAPS: Aw yeah, come on, baby needs a new pair of shoes ERNEST HEMINGWAY, WHO WORKS PART TIME AT THE CASINO: I might know a guy

By some distance the best novel I’ve read in years. Can’t argue with a quid!

With the Switch 2 out imminently, I've put together a collection for BFI Replay that captures the cultural breakthrough of video games on TV in the early 90s, from teatime kids' shows to hand-wringing current affairs docs. GamesMaster! Bad Influence! Moral panic! Find it in your local library!

Now feels like the time to say that in a just world, the royalties from Peter David’s contributions to Marvel & DC would have kept him and his family comfortable as his health failed, instead of living off gofundme drives. Fuck, comics will break your heart? If only that was the full extent of it.
