LAKE YELLOWWOOD SLAUGHTER is the graphic novel "adaptation" of a 1983 slasher movie that never existed (directed by a has-been giallo filmmaker cashing in on Hollywood's new slasher fad). This time, the summer camp killer goes after the parents. It's by me and Gavin Guidry…and you can order it here!

Fellas, is it gay to **checks notes** have sex with your wife?
So much of that performatic toxic masculinity bullshit is just deep insecurities.

Sure bro, whatever you need to tell you to justify not being able to give your wife an orgasm.

I keep harping on this, but many political commentators can't meaningfully predict right-wing behaviour because they insist on seeing them as "hypocrites" who will eventually collapse under their own cognitive dissonance.🧵
You might be familiar with Umberto Eco's list of common traits of fascism.

Today I want to talk about number 8, "The enemy is both strong and weak," and how it's also one of the core tenets of even the most mainstream right-wing politics 🧵

There's no irony and no "hypocrisy."

The people in that video see Benidorm and other Spanish towns as British colonies.

They believe they're entitled to them in the same way their ancestors believed India or America were rightfully theirs.

Of course they want foreigners out of "their" town!🧵
Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

I know this may not make much sense at first glance, but the reason Pennywise isn't in The Running Man is because Mr. Bean failed to appear in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Because, again, they *want* to do crackdowns, flag-fucking, migration terror, ugly culture war squealing, belligerent war speeches and scything cuts to benefits, and these are the voters you have to impress and win over to do that in perpetuity. Also, they think libs and progressives are arseholes.

Cruelty for cruelty's sake.
This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

An amazing bit in Barbra Streisand's memoir is when she talks about, age 16 or 17, wanting to be an actress and she's told "go to casting offices, knock on doors and ask if you can read for roles". She says "I was determined to do that until I got a job".

She gave up after one day hahaha

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

It's notable that in the Rockstar North union-busing firings in Edinburgh it is not Labour that has been turning up to defend fired workers, it's the Scottish Greens and Liberal Democrats.

I don't know how unions can defend being affiliated to Labour at this point. It's clear they've lost their way

If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

Once again thinking about Caravaggio (yes, the painter) and his inscribed sword that he would use in gang fights against rival art groups.
