Screenshot of a PowerPoint document with a slide showing an illustration of Galileo looking through a telescope accompanied by one of his illustrations of the moons of Jupiter with the text "The brain infers *movement* between a sequence of juxtaposed images."

Prepping for my annual talk on comics for the @scicommsuwe.bsky.social masters course this weekend.

There's always a bigger fash.

This hole thing is like an annoying riddle.
Mandelson is a bad candidate who needs to pass vetting but The UKSV failed him. But the FO only needs to take their report on advisement, and didn’t see there report But was pressured by the 10 to give him the okay after they already give him the job.

Maybe the real victim here is the vetting process.

Happy to help!

Infinity War alone made $1 billion. Just the Avengers films grossed nearly $8 billion.

Disney fired 1000 Marvel staff last week.

“Vital” is a very poor choice of word.

As a young man, I thought I was immortal, made of stone, would never die.

As I approach 40, I feel like I’m at death’s door because I’ve had no sleep all week due to changing to our spring the bedding, which gives me nightmares because the duvet isn’t heavy enough.

Logging in to Teams

Maybe not best, but this is genuinely the most important cover in comics history.
This cover sparked the creation of the Comics Code Authority, solidified comics creators as amoral freaks and cleared the path for superheroes to dominate first comics, then all of pop culture.

Book 10: The Age of American Unreason (2008)

A pretty good book about fundamentalism’s impact on America punctuated by a poor and ironic, elitist moral panic around TV.

I need to find the 2018 edition to see what she says about Trump and the failure of New Atheist rationalism.

Me, in 2022, a rube: Starmer hates Johnson because he's the opposite of everything he stands for.

Me in 2026, enlightened: Starmer hates Johnson because they are the same.

Live from Starmers address to Parliament

Starmer should take a page from Boris Johnson and “return to his plough.”

Which will be easy for Starmer because his father was a toolmaker.

Starmer’s defence of “But, no one told me” disintegrates on contact with “why didn’t you ask?”

Mark your calendars! Should be a great discussion…

I get the impression the writer is new to comics and the artist simply doesn’t have time to block out the panels what they’re working with.

There’s dialogue and basically a scene set up “X and Y are here, this happens”. So there story prompts, it’s just adding a lot of pacing, beats and emotional clarity.

As a bit of work it’s interesting to see how much I can “fix” in the deadline.

Currently doing a bit of freelance work editing a script written in the Marvel method, with the primary goal to make it not be in the Marvel method. God bless all the artists who had to put up with that old bollocks in the Silver Age.

Starmer's defence on this Mandelson thing is as easy to follow as Corbyn's position on Brexit. Regardless of whatever he did or did not know, it's just too convoluted and looks utterly suss.

But he just won't go, and Labour are going to feel the pain.

You thought you were having a bad day, please spare a thought for Keir Starmer
... no, wait.
That doesn't sound right.
The other thing.
Sod him.

Look, you shouldn’t be rude about someone’s appearance but James Bembridge 100% secretly worships Apophis, the Egyptian snake deity of destruction.

At least he would if he didn’t think it was it foreign muck. What’s wrong with good old British symbols of primordial chaos, eh?

Which for sure won’t undermine the emotional pay off and natural close to those character arcs at all.

This is true, but redundant. Baz Luhrmann settled this a long time ago.

I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog.

No wait. That’s not fair. It is pluralist insofar as he backed and backing any fundamentalists, apocalyptic Christian denomination that will have the him.
Of which America has way too many with way too much influence.

Lol “particularly Christianity”
Only Christianity.
Only Southern Baptist Evangelical Fundamentalism.

Why pretend this is some sort of pluralist approach.
