Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.
A true hero.

TOMORROW! Please give me the very difficult job of having too many applicants for the number of tables available 🥲
I may come to regret this decision, but...
SCARF! Sheffield Comic ARts Fair! Next October! Liam "Pais" Hill drew our mascot! Exhibitor application form will be out soon, tables will cost as little as I can get away with!
Please remember to apply so this isn't a terrible decision on my part 🙏

I sometimes wonder if I'm just an auld fella shaking my fist at clouds when I back off from modern tech, but the truth is, most big tech products are no longer built to be useful, they're built to rinse you for a minimum standard service. And even children can see this.
Why are kids getting into comics and is their timing spot on?

Oh, and one more - going to see The Lighthouse solo, and being able to literally SENSE just how viscerally uncomfortable everyone around me was at the scene of Pattinson aggressively jerking it 😂

There was also the time we saw The Last Jedi on launch in a cinema on Barbados and everybody went wild for Luke's little cloak brush move - a guy down the front shouted "God-DAMN!!" and it made my entire day!

I went to see a special showing of Black Dynamite at my local independent cinema, and the entire room was 100% into it. The whole place collapsed into hysterical fits and applause at "Haha, I threw that shit before I walked in the room!" 😂

Every time I see stories about all this AI bollocks it just reminds me of the subplot in Ghost in the Shell about the garbageman who's absolutely convinced that he has a wife and daughter, only to find out that he's been ghost-hacked and it's all a delusion - his memories are completely false.

Why the fuck is this pathetic dweeb (who, lest we forget, is the catalyst for a torrent of AI sludge that is destroying the planet and is probably going to crash the world economy before it's done) being invited onto anything? Why isn't he instead in the stocks, being pelted with over-ripe tomatoes?
