Comics are for kids. Which means me. I am a big kid and I will be one till the day I die. At least when it comes to comics. A good comic gives me childish glee and I'm not giving that feeling up for love or money.

You can't understand the behaviour of US elites - Democrats being too timid, Republicans debasing themselves, bureaucrats who behave like pushovers - without reference to the constant threat of political violence that has come with MAGA. Every day is January 6. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Cognitive dissonance is one hell of a drug. Truss is entirely unable to accept that she screwed up her time as PM in such spectacular fashion that she’ll be a historical footnote. So to preserve her self-image she’s had to create this conspiracy narrative, which is now self-reinforcing.

A man goes to see Paggliaci the clown and says “your show was great, but i found it really uncomfortable to sit down for that long”. “Ah” says the clown, “I have a solution - go and see a medial specialist”. “Butt doctor”, says the man. “That’s right”, says Pagliacci.

Airport modes of transport (other than planes) ranked: 1. Monorail. Goated. Put Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook on the map. 2. Little carts they use for the infirm. Looks fun, but forbidden. 3. Moving walkway. Less fun than Gladiators makes it look. Maybe better on an angle? 4. Bus.

Ending child poverty will inevitably deliver significant long-term benefits given the multiple deeply terrible bad outcomes child poverty creates. A government that understood how to lead would do it.

I don't thing Gunn is using the Williams music to be lazy, or to get a cheap pop. I think he's using the Williams music because that's what Superman sounds like. Like, Superman has a cape, Superman wears that big on S on his chest, Superman sounds like John Williams. It's a part of him.

Politicians really need to stop using X to assess public opinion on any given subject, at this point they might as well be relying on 4chan.

“Nigel Farage wants to talk about Labour being soft on immigration, so let’s damage the economy, piss off our core vote and give him a big opportunity to talk about Labour being soft on immigration.” I am a Labour policy megabrain. Thank-you for attending my Ted talk.

There is no other word for illegally deporting a toddler with cancer apart from evil. Not just Trump and Stephen Miller but every single person involved in doing it from start to finish.

If you’re not going to vote Labour at the next GE because the government scrapped the two-child policy, you were never going to vote Labour anyway.

I know people are going to roll their eyes at this story. But that also shows how remembrance has shifted in our memory. 11th November, for example, post WW1, used to be somber during the day then a HUGE piss up for veterans in the evening. They'd descend on pubs en masse for reunion drinking /1

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price

The success of the Minecraft film is going to result in loads of stuff like: "Of course, gaming's moved on since we all played Space Invaders down the local chip shop. Today, you can chat to your friends, choose different hats, and even save your progress."

Big shout out to all those on the left who think there is no difference between a disappointing centre left, and a crazy authoritarian right. Done well folks. Lesson here for our side of the pond too...
