I make comics. My new book ONE FOR SORROW starts in June 2024, from DSTLRY. I also drew The Wicked & The Divine, wrote Captain Carter, designed Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel, amongst others. I have ADHD if you're wondering why I'm like this.

people saying that jacob rees-mogg might lose his gb news show now he’s not an mp are forgetting that he didn’t get the job because he was an mp, but because of his amazing presenting skills and - i’ll say it! - raw, electric sex appeal that proved catnip to the viewers

Trump once had a never-explained incident that meant he posted a garbled tweet and then went dark for a PAINFULLY long period after, and rather than try to find out what happened, the press were like ‘LOL, Covfefe!!!?!’

It’s so hilarious that the US political press are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for Biden to stumble over a word so they can prove their worth when the opponent is LITERALLY DONALD TRUMP.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

I always look forward to You're Dead to Me. Having Robin Ince on the first episode of this season is an added bonus.

Things like the Timpson and Vallance appointments have me sitting eagerly F5ing political liveblogs waiting for some indication that they didn't actually mean all the horrifying transphobia

You’ll never guess which of the two candidates is a convicted rapist.

The elections to the 1922 committee this time will be especially acrimonious precisely *because* the thread is wrong- the 1922 will set the terms of the contest and this will obviously shape the outcome of the contest.

This thread is full of errors (a consequence of the fact that the Tory rulebook is not available online). No, the 100 is not fixed. No, no members of the 1922 “lost their seats” - there are no members of the 1922 when parliament is dissolved. There are fresh elections every term.

Note this tweet was after the exit poll but: yes it's not as bad as it could be, yes Farage won't do any actual work, but it's still something to be very concerned about given the vote numbers. But no, not as bad as it first seemed.

Which is why the people making music now are increasingly coming from money. Add in the impossibility of having the time to learn your craft while getting by on part time work or the dole...

Yep. All that stuff. That article about Sydney Sweeney from a while back applies to music a lot too.

And tours cost insane amounts now, so you have to be REALLY big to make decent money on it, if you're not actually going to lose out.

They hate mentioning trans men because following through their "logic" for trans men too disintegrates all their arguments.

This was interesting right until they got to quoting Caroline Criado Perez. If you're going to talk about pipelines to fascism, she's definitely an expert, but not for the reasons they give...
