Oh cool it’s the Midwich Cuckoos and they’re camp.

i'd also call your attention to how the guardian - ***nominally a liberal newspaper*** - frames this:

stonewall is struggling because it was 'uncompromising' on trans rights

not because the national media, guardian included, decided to hound a minority from public life

Absolutely not saying nobody else should be held to account for all this, but Mandelson for the umpteenth time is the actual villain here and again for the umpteenth time seems to be wriggling out of it while everyone else is looking elsewhere. He should be in prison, and isn't.

the tip is always so fucking coy about it. "lucas heights resource recovery park" bitch you are the tip. shut up

screenshot of google doc that says the following: Trans Metal Comp; Hi!! We're putting together a compilation album comprised of metal tracks composed by trans musicians and are currently seeking submissions! The album will be released on Bandcamp on June 26th and all sales will go directly towards individual trans folks' fundraising campaigns. We had initially planned on donating to an organization, but the fact of the matter is that right now, trans people need money, and the best way to help is by giving directly. We will be as transparent as possible with where the money goes and boost who we can. If that sounds good to you, read the guidelines below and come headbang along with us! \m/ ALL subgenres of metal permitted. Power metal, deathcore, crossover thrash; as long as it's some flavor of metal or has clear metal crossover influence to it, we'll likely accept it. Whether or not specific submissions are accepted is at the sole discretion of the organizers. If we end up not using your work for any reason, don't feel discouraged! It likely just didn't fit the vibe we're going for. NO tracks made with or containing anything regurgitated by "generative" AI NO Nazi shit. If you're trans and also a Nazi for some fuckass reason, look elsewhere. And get your damn life together. NO cis-led solo acts. If your band or project has cis people involved, that's fine!! As long as at least one member is trans and plays an active role in the performance and/or songwriting, feel free to submit. Up to TWO tracks per artist; up to two songs under the same name will be accepted. If you have or are involved with multiple projects, as long as they're distinct from each other and under different names, feel free to submit up to two tracks for each. You must own the rights to the music you submit; any tracks submitted must be owned by you or with the permission of whoever does, and you must personally be involved in the track in either its composition, performance on the recording, or…

are you:
trans?
a metal musician?
want to contribute to a compilation album that will raise money directly for trans people in need?

then what the fuck are you waiting for?? get in the pit!!

Stonewall no longer worthy of the name. Marsha P. Johnson spinning in her grave

I thought I'd developed an addiction to Eddie Murphy films, but it turned out to be just one of those 48 hours things.

If they try and stop me, I’ll just beat them off

If you’re a Democratic leader going around saying, “The problem is we have to stop annoying you with our language,” rather than, “Look, Republicans are getting you mad about words so they can rob you blind,” you’re doing the GOP’s work for them.

The 'summer racist' always bemuses me.

"It's going to be sunny this weekend. Should I do summat with my estranged kids or do the household tasks that my nagging wife's nagging me to do?

Nah I'll drive 5 hours to a city I've never been to before, wave a flag, get drunk and shout 'immigrants out'."

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen

I just want to make pictures and shitpost

I'd like the Biffo the Bear with context thing a lot more were it not an idea I did a decade ago on Twitter.

The most simple and straightforward story, really.

Christopher Reeves as Superman

SUPERMAN for #SupermanDay

Boris Johnson didn't pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary.

The media must have missed that one.

I’m not really into awards, but I genuinely think Making Your First Comic has helped people start their comic journey.

Ringo Award nominations are open, and there’s actually a category it fits:

Best Comics-Related Publication

If you think it’s worthy, maybe nominate it?

Bottom line: I did not crave a writing career because I'm an extrovert.

I know of at least two people that have gotten this one as a tattoo

Coming soon: How NOT To Break Into Comics! Fifteen years, thirty comics, and everything I got wrong trying to make it in the industry

I’ve shown you how to MAKE your 1st comic.

Then I showed you how to KICKSTART it.

NOW I’m showing you how NOT to break into comics.

16 years. 16 successful Kickstarters. 30 comics. A lot of mistakes.

Funny. Honest. Occasionally painful.

Launching soon!

The Doctor Who version is equally worrying.

Christopher Reeve was the best Clark & Superman because of this wonderful scene where his change of posture, gestures & tone of voice are all perfectly calibrated within a beautifully composed shot.
No CGI required to show his transformation.
He & Margot Kidder are much missed.

Picture of seven actors from Dads Army in the top half of the image. In the bottom half pictures of seven modern actors of similar ages.

It's that dad's army meme that always gets me. The actors in both pictures are roughly the same ages.

Just to be clear here: the Labour antisemitism terror was created offscreen by Peter Mandelson’s protege Morgan McSweeney, working secretly with journalists from the Times to stoke fear and panic. And we know this because Morgan himself has said that’s what he did.

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts.

A trans woman enters the room.

Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts.

Fucking clowns.

In much the same way as I have a complicated relationship with Beyoncé.
