Today's my birthday.
If you'd like to help me celebrate, maybe try one of my books, currently on sale! (no shipping to the US, work your shit out)
Serialized, weirdo, slice-of-life scifi for discerning readers.
Or, if you've read the comics, say something nice about them, I always like that.

Comics and comic shops not quite dead yet, it would seem. Not surprised to see the trends and drivers here. DCs Absolute line may appeal thanks to the gimmick of tweaked versions of established characters, but it's worked well because it has generally utilised top talent. Quality is absolutely key.

Really funny to see the British press pretend that all of this Mandelson and Epstein stuff is new when there were people posting pics of them hanging out together over five years ago lol. But that was just quietly ignored because it wasn’t proper journalism apparently
EXCLUSIVE:
Peter Mandelson sought advice from Jeffrey Epstein on setting up his advisory firm, Global Counsel, including how to target potential new clients such as the Chinese government.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

5-1 win for Rangers at Ibrox. Tough night for Killie, a man and a goal down after 4 mins thanks to a pk and red card. Scov Olsen, Rommens & Naderi all very good when subbed on, but Rangers slovenly in attack for long spells. Aasgaard and Gassama have played their way out of the team on that showing.

The story here is not that Kate Nash has an OnlyFans, it's that working class artists can't make a living anymore.
That means no Beatles, no Led Zeppelin, no Depeche Mode, no Cure, and no Bowie. It's cultural suicide.
