This is true. I quit Twitter this afternoon and basically nobody gives a shit, and that's the healthy way for people to be, quite frankly
the weird thing about being on the internet is nobody really notices when you disappear cause there’s always enough stuff to fill the timeline. i’m overstating it but it’s partially true. there’s nonzero count of people you forgot about because they stopped posting or deactivated
So yes! I'm not spending my time on Twitter any more! You are all I really have left! So here is my creative output!
House to Astonish! It's the ninth longest running comics podcast in the world, a fact I find motivational and somehow also very funny! housetoastonish.com

Just saw a Pointless round where two of the teams were so bad that they had to fully scrap the question and give them a new one
It was identifying Ghostbusters actors from photos. They couldn't name Paul Rudd, Chris Hemsworth, James Acaster or Dan Aykroyd
They said Leslie Jones was Whoopi Goldberg

I always feel like TLDP are what you'd get if the Long Blondes Pokévolved. Take that how you will. The influences aren't hidden here but they're so well synthesised

If you go looking for revenge, first dig two graves. You might find some revenge in there. Squirrels bury them. Actually I think that might be acorns. If you go looking for acorns, first dig two graves

Just got done watching Superman again. I'm not an automatic defender of everything James Gunn does, but this remains exactly what I want from Superman, in movies, comics or anywhere else, and the last moment of the last scene is just perfect

Listening to @eleanormorton.bsky.social & @misterabk.bsky.social discussing Watership Down on Eleanor & Alasdair Read That, and thinking about the bit where the rabbits go to an apparently lovely but weirdly quiet settlement underground and it turns out to be a trap, and how it's basically Fallout 3

Thinking about the shoebox of Heroclix from 15+ years ago I have in my cupboard and how there's basically no way for me to either work out a market value for them or sell them even if I had one. I could price them by the pound and sell them as ballast?

Whilst I've been to therapy so am prone to tears anyway, this made me weep - it articulated so precisely the way I have felt about pretty much everything for quite a while now, on a very personal and fairly global level.

I don't know if she's quite Polachek Zone, but she threatened to be a couple of years ago. I dig how here she starts off doing that mumble-through-teeth thing then transitions to Storm from the X-Men cartoon conjuring a tornado

Thinking about the "Retro Gamer is covering the XBox 360, which is 20 years old" thing. I remember reading Retro Gamer in 2004, when it was covering the Speccy etc. But it really does feel different! I can only rationalise it as old years somehow containing more time than newer ones (shrinkflation)
