Bad news pals, I finally started updating my blog again.

And I've (unwisely) started a long term X-Men re-read project 🙃

This week on Duggs of Future Past, X-Factor gets a new writer. But are they better than Layton?

X-Factor 6
Issue 6 sees Louise Simonson take over writing X-Factor. She had already written one unpublished issue (Layton nearly missed a deadline, so some filler was almost needed) and when Layton left, Clar…

Duggs of Future Past this week covers issues 2-5 of X-Factor.

They are sharing a post becuase they are all terrible.

X-Factor 2-5
These next 4 issues are only going to get the summary treatment. Partly because I’ll never finish this project if we do everything, but mainly because they are rubbish. They are all written by Layt…

Heartbroken to hear about our lovely sausage @pretendasaur.com .

He has always hyped me up, brightened my days and supported ALL OF US. Time to return that!

He has suffered a serious brain injury, his family are raising money to support his recovery. 💞

I'm back from MCM X EGX, so now we can belatedly finish up the lead in to X-Factor, with... Fantastic Four issue 286

Off to a better start with the front cover here (by John Byrne no less), promising us both some Phoenix content AND the actual X-Men. The real ones, current roster. There’s no way Marvel will mug u…

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Martha Kelly (@MarthaKelly3) onn twitter: "Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane."

Rattled, much?

A speech about unity, community and cohesion.

About the 99% Vs the 1%.

I'm not surprised the Labour Party didn't quite get that....

I'm hyped that Starmer is taking a massive risk by essentially going all in to try and combat Farage. The last time a UK Prime Minister did that it ended really well lads 🙃

If you blanked his name out of this you would assume it was a Tory PM statement. I'm becoming more and more convinced that he has no chance of seeing the next election (which they will lose regardless).

Hans Moleman in the Simpsons, inside a phone booth with birds crashing into it and cracking the glass. He is talking on the telephone. The caption reads: “I need the most on-the-nose metaphor you have. No, that’s too on-the-nose.”

This. What really pisses me off is weak, belated challenges to clear lies. If Farage says “I am 10 feet tall,” I need to see that shit called out by the interviewer right there, not the next day in a BBC Verify article headlined “Do Reform leader’s height claims stand up?” as if there’s some nuance.

If PlayStation want me to play new games then why did they make DIshonored £3.99? 🤔
