D. V. Bishop's CARNIVAL OF LIES out now @dvbishop.com · 10h

Jovus, 35 years!

Hearty congratulations to its current (and longest-serving) editor Matt Smith, launch editor Steve MacManus, plus John Wagner and the late Alan Grant who helped shape its start.

Honoured to be there at the start, and to have stuck around for the first decade of the Megazine.

Right. Sketchbooking done for now. Time to go do the nice drawing.

A tiny little rat figure at the bottom of a page tells: “I AM NOT A FLY ON THE WALL IN THE ROOMS OF POWER (I AM A RAT WITH RAT THINGS TO DO) SO I DON’T KNOW THIS FOR CERTAIN. BUT I AM PRETTY FUCKING AURE A LOT OF THE BULLSHIT CHOICES - MADE FOR SHORT TERM GAINS AND GREED - THAT HAVE LED US TO THIS COLLECTIVE HELL WERE NOT ACTUALLY THE ONLY OPTION. THIS DISGUSTS ME.”

Little rat is clearly quite irritated.

As a non-clinical NHS worker I can confirm - your team are the only thing that keeps your head above the shit.

It's like something from a dystopian sci-fi comic.

🎃 𝕭𝖆𝖙𝖋𝖎𝖘𝖍 🦇🐟 @batfish.bsky.social · 6d

Yep. The way I see it is, we feel shit because we live under end-stage capitalism, but we're encouraged to understand this as a symptom of our personal failure to thrive. We're not supposed to feel our prospects have been stolen and banked by the billionaires.

so, it's not a good idea to like, for example, put this binbag of leftover bullets, dodgy vapes and aerosol cans down a waste disposal chute? damn, everyday's a schoolday.

My version: putting acup over a spider, bread ends in the fridge, hoovering before you go on holiday, the lawn, damp, boiling eggs, the big issue, spice, vaginally thrush, tyre pressure, 20% of goats, a plastic bag with bananas in, coal. That's the real Britain.

Yep. In the UK we saw the blackshirts off at Cable Street and routinely threw bricks at Moseley wherever we went to spread fascism. There are always more of us than there are of them. We have to show that this is true.

In the thirties it was the working class who chased off Mosely and his officer-class fascist henchmen.

It works! I knew there had to be a point to all this internet bullshit. Thank you so much, I'm literally buzzing and now that looks unlikely to change anytime soon.

It was bollocks as a concept, never gonna get off the ground, but if we waved goodbye to the hardcore bible punchers it would have have demonstrably made the world a better place.

It's just a shame they're fucking up near future speculative fiction, which shouldn't be possible if you think about it.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 22d

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain.

They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.
