The British Army have had more number one singles in Ireland (one) than Aslan, The Corrs, Van Morrison, or The Cranberries (zero).

Irish Number Ones @irishnumberones.bsky.social · 13h

Starting soon on Irish Number Ones: all our chart-topping singles and acts of 1972, including:
☘️ Nationalist protest songs
☘️ New Irish global superstars
☘️ Ireland's only no. 1 single in Irish
🇬🇧 A British Army unit stationed in Northern Ireland

Yes, it'll be weird: irishnumberones.com

now I'm wondering if that film's pronounced 'Primmer' and if so I don't like it now

Magik's sword looks like shit.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

reminds me they keep pronouncing 'primer' as 'primmer', something I wasn't even aware was a thing until this past week and will probably now be noticing everywhere. I don't like it

People get meaningful inspiration from dreams, they find they offer insight they can apply to their waking life.

I get shit like "Walter Koenig says he hates modern jetskis"

time to get back to watching Sweet Home, a series I like less and less as it goes on but at least recently had a man talking to a grinning version of himself holding a gun to his own head with a hand constantly covered in and dripping thick blood

what I'm saying is he should be in more stuff

I like when Big Jake's undercover as a space engineer and they're trying to describe him to someone to look out for him but they never once say "the guy who looks like if gary busey was a Robocop 2 prototype"

describing it as 'pretty shit' is perhaps cruel and dismissive but everyone involved is big enough to take it

Paul @pauljonmilne.bsky.social · 11h

give him ocular patdown glasses and a 90s miniseries

Just rewatched 'Contact'. Other than Jake Busey's terrible vibes it's pretty shit

now remembering being on a messageboard in the early 2000s and a regular there being all matter of fact with "obviously alex ross is the best that comics art can be" and just not understanding that anyone would think differently as surely every comics artist aspires to do 'realistic painting'

Maybe this tpb already exists, I don't know, I'm very out of touch

Paul @pauljonmilne.bsky.social · 13h

the new Vertigo thingy should lead to a tpb of VertigoPOP: London by Milligan and Bond, far and away the best of the 3 series and mysteriously not in the collection with the others (which are not good for me other than some of the art)

this comment doesn't really work, I just love what the Morbius comic in the 90s almost was, and also hate Jared Leto
