Great, let's purge the high streets of these parasites. The entire betting industry is designed to swindle the working man out of his pay packet. Everybody involved should be ashamed of the source of their income.

A major haul today for Book Club listeners (cc: @nealflanagan.bsky.social)

My thanks to @drmouth.bsky.social
Martin Rowson's Trump resembles a mash-up of @bsienk.bsky.social's Kingpin - so influential on the Spider-Man Into The Spiderverse movie - and a Third Stage Spacing Guild Navigator from the #DavidLynch #Dune. Which of course #BillSienkiewicz drew in his stellar #MarvelComics adaptation.

Voting in this poll is harder than filling out your tax return. Ten-point guidelines, followed by abecedarian clarification points up to the letter I(i).

Once I get past #BigNumbers and #FromHell by #AlanMoore it's a Three-Pipe (or six-pack of beer) Problem.

Does #BretHart know about this violation of his trademark and intellectual copyright?

At least Bret has a credible claim to the accolade.

#Oasis smudge by Jill Furmanovsky.
Remember trying to find out who created this remarkable Batman piece. Best guess had been Gray Morrow. Thanks to artists' agent Sal Abbinanti we now know it is the sadly departed Drew Struzan.

German singer Nico, Andy Warhol’s muse, was born on this day 1938. She came to live in Manchester in 1981. ‘It reminds me of Berlin after the war. Everything was broken and falling down.' She loved the architecture and cheap heroin.

Next in my re-read of all Philip K Dick - VULCAN’S HAMMER
The Vulcan supercomputer rules the world, but some believe its plans for humanity are wrong & they fight back.
A great early #PKD book about fighting the crooked system. Not as funny as some, but lots of exciting action instead.

Don't forget that pig Neil Gaiman.
Taylor Swift is a scientologist
Thrilling and unpleasant film, years since I've seen it, well worth another watch. Fine quirky cast, terrific soundtrack by Ry Cooder. An incredibly difficult, punishing shoot for Walter Hill & his crew - filming in swampland the cameras kept sinking down into the bayou.

We comic book fans get very upset over the extent to which #GeorgeLucas plagiarized #JackKirby and his Fourth World saga for his whole dismal #StarWars empire. Reading in this excellent book on the #DavidLynch masterpiece #Dune about how angry Frank Herbert was over Lucas's plunderings of his novel.

Inexplicable that I never really got into #KillingJoke. Inexcusable.

"I do resent the Mancunian influence on these programs..."

Listening to Wirral public schoolboy #JohnPeel every night we were often reminded how much he hated #Manchester, most especially #ManchesterUnited.

Shut yer faux Scouse grid and play another Fall session John!

This is some really fascinating forensic analysis and it highlights how much of the creative process between Lee and Kirby is always going to be opaque to us because it was done verbally between two men who tell two very different stories about it.
Featuring the #WWF debut of #MickFoley, tagging with Manchester bruiser Les Thornton against the #BritishBulldogs.

Jack's trainer Dominic DeNucci would have called it 'the drizzling shits.'

Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
