The kids are watching Labyrinth for the first time as thinking beings. And they are just one question away from a 2 hour long infodump and a behind the scenes special.

Just Not HEMA. I can accept that a Spaniard has a thick Scottish Accent, but knowing exactly how to defeat the Highlander in any given moment is a touch immersion breaking.

A simple pleasure. Perfectly poached egg from the other day.

Motability is only claimable if you have the enhanced rate of mobility impairment as defined by PIP.

You need 12 or more points and to get that on psychological alone - you have to be unable to go anywhere without assistance. ADHD, would need to be crippling to qualify. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Would rather have these two giving the commentary. But I guess @mrjamesob.bsky.social is an adequate second choice.

As someone who was a mopey gamer boy targeted by cultish (and use that word with full knowledge) incel recruitment. They can fuck right off and keep fucking off until the curvature of the earth threatens to bring them back.

They are a vicious cult, and any sanitising needs to be challenged.

(When I say still- these have been favourite publications since I was a teenager and have never disappointed me- only went digital for shelf space)

Corpsie @thecorpsie.bsky.social · 1d

I still enjoy Fortean Times (down to earth cataloguing of weird shi..stuff) and 2000AD (who have some pretty good writers. I'm a bit backlogged, but quite enjoying Full Tilt Boogie).

Their digital offerings are comfortable to use and has enough to pull me away from doomscrolling as default.

I love it when authors are excited about their work. Mostly because they're a neurotic bunch who have no idea that their baseline ok is way above average.

So when they are excited and impressed about something they're involved with. It's going to be brilliant.

The Hero Slam jigsaw also comes with a super cool poster with the full image on one side, and the lowdown on ALL the heroes on the other, not to mention a ton of other little details, villains and sidequests to spot 🔍

It’s a huge world and here’s a bit more of it 🔥 OUT NOW!

So Jenrick wants more different ethnicities in his constituencies? That is what I've understood from his defence of his statement. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Would you be happy if your death was used as justification for genocide @mrjamesob.bsky.social It is arguable that you're respecting the dead by calling for an end to all deaths.

Corpsie @thecorpsie.bsky.social · 1d

Israel needs to take a break from genocide before we should consider taking a break from protesting @mrjamesob.bsky.social

This is against slaughter, not Jews.

Holy missing the point batman. Was she reading Jingo as a manual, not a warning.

Or does she actually think she's smart enough to be vetinari.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

Corpsie @thecorpsie.bsky.social · 1d

It's a fantastic idea and the state should be investing in its people. It makes sense.

Nothing is stopping it apart from the greed of old white men.

Yes, but was that one of the toilets with baffles and stuff so that flushing wouldn't be picked up by enemy microphones?

One of the most short-sighted things the newspapers did was get rid of the Kid's sunday section. Good range of comics and activities, would have helped with the demographics.

Also, I've never forgiven the Metro foe getting rid of Nemi and Judge Dredd.

Also, the expectation that comics be printed on bright white, shiny paper is another barrier to entry. I miss black and white comics printed on 50# uncoated offset paper.

I'm going to say it- Branstons are the superior bean and Wenzels is better than Greggs.

The glut of council owned houses will allow the permanent renters to have a place to rent from the government. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

The green party going after the parasite class? That is terrible @mrjamesob.bsky.social Imagine, stopping people from making obscene profits from a basic human need.

Buy to Let renters are basically buying the house anyway- so why not?

It helps that the Tyranids look fantastic with the trans pride colour scheme.
