I loathed Starmer because he could be so self righteous, but was really just a continuity establishment man. Thatcher did so much more harm - the decline started with her. I’m pleased to see Burnham calling that out - bucking the trend of every PM for 40+ years - hope he backs it up with policies.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

I say this is someone who hasn’t released a book of their own for a good while, but one of the hardest things about being an indie comics creator is releasing a book you’ve spent years working on to complete indifference, not just from the audience but also from the comics press.

As The Unveiling edges closer to the start of work on its final two volumes, all 80+ character designs are finally completed. Here are some of my faves from the wonderfully talented Tanmoy Das, Rafael Dantas and Marcos Lima.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a trio of girls are sitting at a table (one of them is a somewhat grotesque alien-like entity with grey skin, tentacles, and numerous red eyes). One of the human girls points accusingly at the alien girl and asks, “did you just say you’re not going to prom?” Panel 2: the two human girls stand excitedly around the alien girl in a boutique. The alien girl is trying on a turquoise prom dress and seems tentatively happy. Panel 3: Prom night. The two human girls embrace while they ecstatically watch from a distance as the alien girl slow dances with a hunky guy in a tuxedo and matching turquoise bow tie. She’s wearing the turquoise dress and has her head on his chest.

Spot on. This is because anxiety is a common symptom of autism that comes with a bunch of other symptoms conveniently ignored by the right who would much prefer their taxes were sucked up by the super rich than actually used to help people in need.

I keep hearing those on the right saying that people are getting huge disability payments for having mild anxiety. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety several years ago. Where's my money? Oh yeah, that's right, nobody gets disability payments for anxiety...

Terrifying thread which raises the point I often think about. Fascism didn't start in 1939 like most people seem to think. It started long before Hitler was even elected. It's insidious.

"Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

False equivalence. This is a convo about ownership. Spend $10.99/mo on CDs and in a year you've got 12 CDs. Yours forever even if you go broke and can't buy more. Spend $10.99/mo on streaming and then have to cancel? You've spent the same $ and you have...nothing. These are not equivalent systems.

I think we’re largely in agreement - tribalism and other selfish behaviours still dominate the human condition because they yielded a reproductive advantage for the genes that code those behaviours in evolutionary time. But we’re not in evolutionary time now, so we should use our big brains instead.

Andy Barrett @mrandybarrett.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
Not quite. That’s tribalism. Which is again evolved behaviour to ensure the individual’s genes spread advantageously (by pairing with the same genes in reproduction). I’m not sure humans have ever yet prioritised their own species but there is at least hope we have capacity to.

Andy Barrett @mrandybarrett.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
All life tends to behave in a way that enhanced individual reproductive fitness in evolutionary time. However, having a brain capable of subverting evolved behaviours also enhanced individual reproductive fitness. Hence humans can prioritise the species over individuals… if they’re clever enough! 😊

Climate change is real and it's happening and it's only going to get worse until everyone wakes the fuck up. By far the biggest threat to us all. We don't have another planet we can go to.
