I did it, I changed my bluesky name to @joel.ist.
I'd like to once again thank the people of Istanbul for making my domain name possible.

Also, I've been watching his YouTube podcast for each episode, and I love Gunn's absolute glee at making very niche Swedish metal bands go nuts in the charts.

Yes, you can tell the man steering the ship was once fired because a Nazi sent his boss a pdf of his bad taste tweets.

Omg! Enjoy! During lockdowns I was ordering entire pies from them and getting them delivered to the house.

Joe List @joel.ist · 4d

Omg thank you, the many times I've been to York and not hunted this down. It should be right up there with The Jorvik Viking Centre.

Anyone know where I can have a go on one of these things? Cartoons promised me this was a thing I'd be able to have a go on.

It's one of those railway things with the up and down levers that you saw in cartoons.

If you need Manchester coffee recommendations, just say, I give them to people who don't even ask for them. (Idle Hands is the best in the city centre)

In my answers, I exclusively revealed some of my business secrets. 💰🤨💰

The day I stopped bothering to promote my online shop was when e cost of shipping three comics, was within £1 of what I charged for the comics themselves. A few weeks later, the customer (in Australia) saw the cost of the shipping and sent me £10 out of pity! Hahaha, oh no.

ICE in the US have been driving around beating up and abducting random nonwhite people. The fact the tories thought ‘this is what we need in the uk’ makes me glad they’re a completely irrelevant nonentity of a party.

Is Paramount+ is trying to make out that Picard was some kind of genie or candle ghost?

Here's my favourite panel from this week's Doug Slugman Comic.

It's the nations favourite detective, Doug Slugman, gesturing to a frog of Wisdom, and a pink creature saying 'Uh' in reply.

I love to write with a walking tour on in the background. Just the right level of distraction.

So horrifying. Both the terrible violence in Manchester and the fear this creates for Jewish people everywhere, especially as they mark Yom Kippur. My thoughts with everyone affected

We’re here selling books and magazines (print is dead), in a physical shop (the high street is dead), writing these words using a human brain (we don’t even need to think any more though right?)
