DIE as a comic and game is devastating in the best way, or it can be just a pleasant jaunt (if you're built for this sort of thing but I have to ask you how???).

I can't wait for the sequel series and you still have plenty of time to catch up!

October 20th is the order cut off for DIE: LOADED, sequel to the three-time Hugo-nominated DIE. I've pulled together a short primer it with all the info you need on it - what it is, previews, full cover details (check out our sketch variant!) and more. Go nose! Join our party. It's an experience.

DIE is doing a blank cover variant. I want to get one, then have an artist draw a cover for one of my characters.

This is incredibly basic but you can in fact oppose murder while also opposing murder.

I don't trust the police to protect synagogues given they literally just shot and killed a Jewish man at a synagogue. But if I did, that would surely be far more important than arresting a bunch of pensioners.

Protest group Defend Our Juries has said in response a planned demonstration for this weekend will still take place.

“You should know me better than that”

If you repeat Nazi talking points, I’m going to assume you’re a Nazi.

It’s not personal. It’s a safety issue.

Maybe idk. Don’t say Nazi shit?

Maybe try that.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Good to see fascists outnumbered in Glasgow once again - and vital context on the hypocrisy of fash organisers outlined in local reporting:

"Watt, who was found guilty of abusing two of his ex-partners in 2018 [...] campaigns against immigration, often raising fears of women's and girls’ safety."

Hundreds gather in city centre for protest and counter-protest

Hundreds of people have gathered in Glasgow city centre to take part in a "far-right-backed" rally and counter protest.

100% the latter, I used to do this 'til I was the person at the end of the line being asked to move and I realised how stupidly annoying it is for everyone else. It makes everyone's life easier if everyone just sits where they're supposed to!

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech
