I'd feel dirty and ashamed. So basically the same as normal.

It's something we can all relate to.

-- a different direction but ironically the best episode was the one that was essentially Alien in 45 mins!

I absolutely loved all the seasons of Fargo and I love Alien so hoped that Alien Earth would be good but it really missed the mark. Never quite figured out what tone it was going for and the themes it explored were surprisingly obvious. Can't fault it for trying something new, to push out in--

If I have counted correctly I have just written my 100th script for the Beano!

Not sure how possible it is, but it'd be great if John-Paul could be credited for the colouring work he did in the eventual PRINTED version of the Skybound Transformers compendiums (and Ed and Ben Pirrie for their colour assists too!) All were credited on the original appearances of their work.

John-Paul Bove AKA the wordmonger(er) @wordmonger.bsky.social · 19d

So just relieved my PDFs of the Transformers Kickstarter and they have not credited me for colouring parts of Raiders of the Last Ark. I know I joke about regularly being uncredited but this one does irk me.

I supported it with my cash despite it containing hundreds of pages of my work already. A bit of a shame.

I offered. I was keen. I wasn't contacted.

If you're a COVID/vaccine sceptic or are struggling to communicate with someone who is this article is by someone who knows the reality and is just brilliant at explaining it. Feel free to share, because the misinformation is much louder than the truth right now. www.statnews.com/2025/09/06/c...

I inserted myself into a conversation at a bar about Covid and vaccines. Here’s what happened

What happened when a public health scientist overheard four men sharing misinformation about Covid — and decided to talk to them about it.

Hilariously it will not show me the image and has flagged it as adult content.
