Beano #592, Nov 21, 1953

Biffo tells Buster, who was currently carrying a basket overflowing with groceries, that he was getting a hamper of laundry, which causes Buster to gasp and drop the groceries all over himself while making a sudden exclamation.
BIFFO: By the way-- That was a hamper of laundry you saw me getting!
BUSTER: Oh! I've diddled myself!

Where do all the cool kids get their roms nowadays?

I know archive has all the full sets I could ever want, but it is also slow as balls, so if anyone knows of any full set torrents or similar, give me a little poke.

(I don't work for Nintendo, promise.)

This article is spot on about the UK's descent into anti-trans hysteria. In 8 years, they went from the conservatives trying to make it easier for trans folks to self attest gender to a liberal government implementing a bathroom ban by fiat.

Britain’s Bathroom Ban

The UK has gone from a bathroom ban being unthinkable to a Labour government implementing an extraordinarily authoritarian one—without a vote.

I kind of miss the good old days of more rampant not-safe-for-workness on Twitter, it's not that I consume said content, but I'm oddly nostalgic for getting jump scared by a friend's lewds or specialist interest retweets.

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

Super weird question, but do I know anyone who bought any of the Marvel Legends Gamerverse two packs and wouldn't mind giving me the MvC2 training stage backdrop from the box?

(Next best scenario would be a discarded Thanos with box for cheap on ebay from the Psylock/Thanos two pack.)

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
