@deathofbuckley There was none of this closing schools early nanny state mollycoddling. When there was a heatwave we'd be moved to a special heatwave classroom with metal desks and seats and a roof made of magnifying glass

Excited about the new Metal Hurlant from @humanoidsinc. Great line-up of creators, plus a chance to experience classic Moebius short stories last published in English by Marvel in the late-80s.

Here's an article I wrote about the history of the comic:

John Mulaney getting on stage and mercilessly mocking everyone at Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read

[Tom Lennon @tomlennon]

@PATRON_TAINT_ @neilgharrison @IrkthePurists That sounds right

[Tom Lennon @tomlennon]

@neilgharrison @IrkthePurists Ah yes, the eternal conundrum of the parody mistaken by the target as a celebration of their ridiculousness. As I recall, this is why Harry Enfield had him killed of (quite brutally, as I recall)

I have been moving, and I found my old Far Side books underneath the bed. If you are my age or thereabouts, nearly 25% are instantly memorable, nay legendary. It's the greatest single-panel strip of all time. But I think this might be the best of all, and if I'm wrong prove it.

I think Doctor Doom should be played by Lou Ferrigno

I’ve put the air conditioner on, and now the air is much more manageable and full of bounce

Watching classic #DoctorWho serial Genesis of the Daleks. The subtitles are on and almost every line of text is different from the spoken dialogue. It's like the keyboard was kidnapped by some pathologically paraphrasing contrarian.

I used to think cultural imperialism was a load of old arse until my Netflix subtitle changed it to "ass"

Butcher in #TheBoys is a Cockney who speaks with an Australian twang because he watched a lot of Neighbours as a kid

[Germain Lussier @GermainLussier]

I'm not much of a music collector so I kind of paid no mind to the @madebymutant news about @m_giacchino 's new album.

But then I clicked. And I listened to a sample. And now I'm OBSESSED.

Seriously, this is the best thing you'll see or hear all day.

Not a dream! Not a hoax! Not a mental breakdown! A24 has optioned the rights to Why Don’t You Love Me? with plans to develop my graphic novel for film! Jennifer Lawrence is set to star. She is also set to produce with Ari Aster. https://t.co/IczoW78msY
