Oh, no surprises, just a ghoulish monster gloating over lgbtq rights being taken away.

My newborn son is very taken with a piece of art I took from my mum's house when she died 9 years ago. It was one of her favourites. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the corner crying my eyes out ❤️

When you find a new song to obsess over and listen to exclusively for the next 10 days

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

My default setting since my son was born:

I ruined the Nintendo Direct today to celebrate the Tim Gettys Farewell Tour. You're welcome.

Why did we build all the stranger things kids in a lab if we aren't recasting the xmen

@maffewgregg.bsky.social Pretty sure Tom King has been watching Botchamania while writing the Wonder Woman comic...

Patriotism isn't being proud of your country no matter what. If the government are clearly shitting the bed it's patriotic to want them to do better. You don't have to love Britain unconditionally, it's a country not a son.

Lookalike: Nosferatu and UK defence secretary John Healey  From the latest Private Eye, in shops now.

May you be lucky enough to have a leader who loves his country half as much as this man loves his.

Saturday morning, we were heading to a nursery open day. Instead, my partners waters broke and our son arrived in the early hours of Sunday morning. A very early reminder that life doesn't care about your plans!

Oh damn Prime actually published their failed chatgpt prompt in the description

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Hit home today that Elon’s zooming in to a rally of the German hard right to tell them to stop feeling bad about the past and embrace German glory was right before Holocaust Remembrance day.

Find someone who loves you as strongly as Michael Oliver hates Arsenal.

Still haven’t seen Wicked, but it does warm my heart to know that there is now an entire other generation that is going to attempt to read, and inevitably decide not to finish, the book it’s based on

The Joker hates Nazis. From our Injustice: Year Zero #4. Art by @ciantormey.bsky.social and Rain Beredo.

A little reminder from John Constantine. (Hellblazer: Rise and Fall - art by @darickr.bsky.social)

Finished my first game of the year: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Far, far better than I expected it to be. Fun Tomb Raider-style gameplay and great cutscenes. I dont even mind that the story was just a greatest hits, it was like a lovely miniseries with an old friend. And Voss was great.

I love them with every fiber of my being, even if they seem to live to annoy me.

Joe Rogan is podcaster with a massive Spotify deal, has the president he wanted, interviewed that president which boosted his chances of election and regularly interviews mega-rich nerds but his followers still believe he represents the ultimate in anti-establishment.

Storyboards from my proposed sequel The Trial of Nosferatu. In it he’s sued by Dracula for stealing his life story but being “much too ugly to be me”

It’s five years since Robbie Keane’s little lad decided to bin off mascot duty… and grab the glory instead. The celebration lasts a full 17 seconds. Sensational stuff.

@aepodcast.bsky.social time for another WWECW bono episode? 👀 (Sorry, Adam)

It's that time of year again. Don't blame me, blame @jamesgunn.bsky.social

It's important to spend time with your loved ones at Christmas

It's time to punch out some Nazis
