Brilliant read, full of context about what was happening at what time, alongside some Big Analysis of Big Stuff about Big People doing Awful Things. You must read.

In 1986, comedian Les Dawson released a sci-fi novel, A TIME BEFORE GENESIS. It weaves together (deep breath) JFK's assassination, UFOs, Nazis, vampires, Moses, devil worship, and the Second Coming of Christ. It's deadly serious, and I need to read it so badly.

This is a remarkably consistent refrain for sensible right wing broadsheet creeps in the UK too. As both Toby Young and Rod Liddle can attest.

Fuck Creatures Great And Small Last Of The Fuck Wine I can also extrapolate Fuck-a-Block, with Fred Harris driving around in a little car and going "FuckaBloke Fucking In!"

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

Watched INSIDE NO. 9 STAGE / FRIGHT today, and it's an absolute cracker. Part Celebration, part farewell, part exploration of what's possible on stage... 10/10

Haha, I hadn't realised I'd put this as a reply by accident to a post so unconnected.

I'd forgotten about this incredible panel from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Tempest

WELL DONE AGENT 47

I liked this a whole bunch. I hope Joel is going to be alright.

A couple weeks ago I went to the HONK! Untitled Goose Exhibition at the ACMI in Melbourne. It was a lovely exploration of a truly idiosyncratic game, going into its inspiration, themes, and production; e.g. comparing its use of comedy and classic music to movies. But there's something more...

Great to see Brian Keenan having a bit of fun away from all the hostage stuff

Anyone remember the Newcastle local music scene of mid-00s? I've been digging through old CDs and found three compilations from Hipster Deathkill 3000/Vortex Pop - but no track names! Found deets for these two on Wayback Machine but 'View To A Deathkill' eludes me (for now! - any tips appreciated!)

Young men are not radicalizing towards the far right as though it were something unusual about young men, the far right *is all that remains of the right*. There is no universe where a young conservative man doesn’t marinate in pure 4chan derangement.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

Well, that's me played through Baldur's Gate 3. Quite a thing, that game. I applaud the commitment to animated ball bags that sometimes whirl around like helicopter rotors. Just like it was back then in the past.

Very much enjoyed @disappointment.bsky.social 's REGULAR FEATURE on Nottingham history this week. Reminds me of this tale of a bunch of daft lads (including one Seymour Cocks MP) breaking into Byron's grave in Hucknall to have a look at his big dead dick. dangerousminds.net/comments/tha...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are going to kill 6 million people. Very on brand.

This is the review that got me blacklisted by EA. Some shitbag executive wanted me fired.

If TV has taught me anything, it's the Going Live phone number for some reason.

The adults are in charge! Unfortunately the adults in question are dickheads.
