Does things to imaginary computers for money. Likes beer, greyhounds (as pets), aikido and Warhammer. A bit left-y and a bit skinny. Old.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

I love the painting on that Grey Seer. Made me stop as I was scrolling by, thinking - "Did... did I just see a Skaven wearing a tie?"

That’s a sign I can absolutely get behind. ✊

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

A photo of a zebra crossing, with a main road behind. I'm crossing it wearing a big white jumper and leggings and a tote bag. I'm somehow managing to keep hold of four greyhounds, three black ones and a white speckled brindle. Imagine the Abbey Road Beatles cover where the Beatles are all smartly dressed and crossing the road in a smart and uniform manner. This is the opposite. This is chaos.

It’s like all these people watched the same 1983 Matthew Broderick movie I did and got the opposite lesson.

AMW used to be a prince, a duke, an earl and a baron. Now he's just four-fifths of a count.

Tourette’s Syndrome is a difficult, painful condition and tics are involuntary. It can be very distressing for people with the condition at the best of times, and when they are nervous or stressed the condition can be particularly acute. They don’t get to choose what they say or do when they tic.

It doesn't. I mean, to even _complete_ an uphill bobsleigh run you're probably going to need four Johannes Klæbos.

That’s why Tolkien didn’t write them as giant Magpies - would have been too obvious 😁

This. The FellBeasts would have killed them - assuming they even got that far without one of the eagles being seduced by the ring and taking it for themselves.

Hang on a minute. Mone is still at large, Bloviating Boris is still getting a million quid a year for spouting hateful bollocks, and Frogface has never answered for his Brexit treason.

Can’t tell you how thrilled I was to very briefly meet Graeme Garden and can attest that he is both lovely and categorically a genuine genius. Happy birthday to him!

I keep seeing this and thinking that’s such an unusual way to carry a tray of Ferrero Rocher.

Is it gathering dust while connected to a power outlet and an active line, or just gathering dust?
