There were a couple of split seconds where I really thought this was a picture of some massive nuts.

Something to put in your calendar to live another year for then. Not that we have an actual date you could pin the event to.

But I'm probably not the target audience here. I'd love a greater sense of online comics community, but I'm also a bit of a grump who doesn't want any more reason to stare at his phone. In-person is probably the future for me (once childcare's easier), but I live in Leeds so I'm spoiled with options

Discord seems like the most viable route. And yet, as someone who's retreated a bit from online life (for parenting, and to refocus my attention) I find Discords to be a bit like walking into a post-con party by yourself and trying to make friends. Doable, but kind of off-putting.

I do know what the answer to this is: look at a book or exhibition instead.

But it sucks, having real work tainted by the mere existence of AI slop.

And I don't want to spend my time looking for clues as to whether an image is one or the other.

(With my brainiac hat on I think, 'nope!' Which makes watching the film a weird exercise in kayfabe. I find the moment it/he sacrifices it's/him-self genuinely moving.)

(They probably just take for granted that you'll assume he's alive, and don't want to get bogged down in discussing it within the film. But whenever I watch it I just find myself wondering whether it/he's conscious.)

There's something satisfyingly knob-like about that picture of Vance, actually. An old man knob, specifically. Great picture choice.

We had a Prime Minister do it. She lasted a few weeks. Not sure you’ll be so lucky.

This is good stuff.

I've never watched a single episode, but I discovered the other day it has Merida and Elsa in it and that's still making my head feel a bit weird.

😆😀😐😶🫥

But we have the water taxi. Does it take you... to the other side?

If this is the moment we discover we're actually in limbo I don't know whether I'll lose it or be weirdly relieved.

(I hope I never have to rely on Apple's location services in an emergency)
