First two weeks of my new weekly Patreon comic is up and are free to read (the black and white and green version will be free, but parallel to that I’m doing a full colour version for patrons) come follow along at Patreon.com/pauljholden
Page 1 Terran omega Four panels, all black. Deep space. Our camera doesn't vary, we are looking at a tumbling space ship, a salvage ship. Panel 1. Behind the ship, In the background is a small thing that looks like a google map pin. Caption: ++REPEAT ++ SALVAGE SHIP RESPOND ++ Panel 2 the ship continues to tumble. The pin is much larger now, about the same mass (if not shape) of the tumbling ship Caption ++SALVAGE SHIP THIS IS BLACK OMEGA ++ PLEASE RESPOND ++ Panel 2 The ship continues to tumble the Black Omega, is now very largely, cropped by the panel, still behind the tumbling ship and obviously larger than it. Caption: Nothing Caption: No response. Ship appears to be dead. Panel 4 The tumbling ship remains, surrounded it now is the centre of the Black Omega, the ship so large it now dwarfs the little scrapyard junker. Caption: But... I am detecting three lifeforms. Caption: I can send a drone...? Page 2-3 Double page spread. Left hand side a large full page panel. Terran omega floating in space. An armoured heroic looking character carrying a staff of pure light and wearing a helmet that’s a cross between dr fate and galactus. Floating behind here (and where’s she’s flying towards) is a large chunky salvage ship (which is big and blocky and has two very obvious hands for gripping salvage) Terran Omega : "No, I think I'd like to do this myself" Second page has a column of panels. First: Terran omega flying towards a door (she flies gently while standing) Second; her hand reaches towards the door and is cracking with energy Third: her helmet and staff now inside the airlock of the ship Terran: I'm inside Terran: ... Radio: *static* Terran: Hmmm... on my own. Terran: Ok Fourth: she’s walking carefully down a corridor filled with smoke Terran: Now. Let's look around.

Anyway worth reading. I don’t think the us government would have ever been capable of doing it but going to battle with a bunch of bunny rabbits in your arms because your opponent will find it harder to shoot you and dehumanise you if you’ve got a family pet in your arms in fascinating.

But the manual he wrote, then full of insane ideas for the time, is surprisingly prescient. It’s focus more on conflict resolution and making opponents see you as humans first. It also talked about the results of battles being less important than who gets that information out first.

The book The Men Who Stare at Goats features a section on The First Earth Battalion. A group proposed by a guy called Jim Channon charged by the pentagon to investigate what the army could become Channon instead took a load of drugs and proposed an army whose first allegiance was to planet earth.

this doesn't explain why Primark went from Pre-mark to Pry-mark.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 15h
Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Eddie, ask them the correct pronunciation of PROG, because EVERYONE has this wrong (except, inexplicably, me)

Its one of the original teaser posters for the movie, back when they still hadn't decided on whether to name it Alien or The Alien. You can see it the back of "The Making Of Alien" by J.W. Rinzler. Amazing book

Of anyone can fill me in on it that’d be great. I’m assuming the tagline is talking about ET and tha it’s an early promo poster. But I’d like to know for sure!

Didn’t one of those dunderheads also say antifa was over a hundred years old? They already have an antifa question but it’s “were you ever a member of the Nazi party” I guess they’re looking for Yes now instead of No.
