Eagerly awaiting @lanceparkin.bsky.social's next volume of AHISTORY with a whole chapter on where to cram this in.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Early-to-mid-century flower children invent a Wicca-ish Ancient Religion and inadvertently manifest the terrifying nature spirit that was Always There, Waiting..." or something.

For ages I've wanted to do a folk horror about 20th century "invented traditions." I'm sure there's stuff out there already, though.

awed by the marketing for The Devils, by the way. they made a standee for it out of real tile - it screams "confess" when people walk by, and it weighs 666 lbs

The point being that GW being a growth engine for the economy is fun and all, when you're talking about goblins, but the company itself risks becoming Britain's Disney, a corposlop machine that trades on memories of when it was subversive and anarchic.

I'm minded of @benbartlett.bsky.social's D&D campaign where we accidentally taught winged kobolds about capitalism, they set up Amazon Prime, and we then had to address the problem of Kobold Jeff Bezos.

I keep toying with the ideas of picking up some GW shares before Cavill and Amazon send the price stratospheric, and using the proceeds to... buy GW minis. Let them pay for themselves.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

And here again is my favourite ever Batman poem...

Batman’s aff his nut
Have you seen the way he cuts aboot
Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat
Batterin guys
I was lit at:
“Mate, I’m worried aboot ye
I know your ma and da died
But everybody’s ma and da dies
And we’re no aw runnin aboot
Hookin muggers and
Kickin psychopaths in the baws.”
And that was when Batman went
“Aye, but do ye ever feel like it?
Do you ever look at the world and feel like it?
Like having a big mad base under your hoose?
Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor
that turns intae a tank?
And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night?
Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?”
And that’s when I was lit at:
“Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae.”
And that’s the Secret Origin of Robin
And everyone else.

It always amuses me how people go "Trump checks all of the boxes for the Biblical depiction of the Antichrist!" as though the Antichrist wasn't a checkbox list of warnings about narcissistic sociopaths framed for an audience of 1st Century peasants.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

I would've liked TLJ more if Rian Johnson had been given complete creative control of the trilogy from the off, instead of having to pick up where someone else left off.

Blood boys OVER we’re out here Renfieldmaxxing now

He’s on a quest to live forever.
Mr. Emanuel’s morning routine involves waking up at 4 a.m., stretching for 40 minutes and then doing breath work, sauna, meditation, an ice plunge and infrared light therapy before ingesting a protein shake and a cup of live worms to fight off “the bad bacteria in my gut.” He describes a recent lunch with his old CAA boss, Michael Ovitz. Mr. Emanuel writes: “He goes to the gym; he thinks that means he’s taking care of himself. But it doesn’t. I scold him. He hasn’t gotten his blood work done in years, he isn’t doing ice plunges, he isn’t doing daily breath work, he isn’t fasting. And he needs to be eating worms.”

I always find myself wondering if Peter Jackson cribbed from this for his depiction of the Ringwraiths in LOTR - there are a few shots that are near-identical.
