Doing some research with some 90s magazines and this series of amazing horror movie ads came up - I don't know who the artist was, but I think they are terrific fun!

My hatred for Gen AI knows no bounds. If your game has gen AI I will not play it, if your store has AI flyers I will not shop there, if your con does not have a strong stance against AI I will not attend. If everyone who was truly against gen AI was the same, it would be gone by now.

A rather splendid Brian Bolland ad for a Palitoy take on Darth Vader’s T.I.E. Fighter, from Dec 1st 1979’s Look-In. I’ve never seen this particular Bolland take on Star Wars merchandise before, and his ads for the franchise during the period are always fun.

living in Britain is listening to very Sensible People happily talking about how we need to reduce the benefits 'burden' in the cruelest way possible while being cheered to do it, but any suggestion that we abolish the monarchy or reduce our military budget is treated as the ideas of a rambling fool

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

From the makers of "Insect Lives" and "Creatures with Jobs":
A rubbish movie poster for: TOY FILM.  Along with this title and the words "only in a selected cinema" we see the two main characters. They are toys that have come to life, if you can imagine such a thing. One is The Long Cowboy, the other is Bob Spaceman. Both have a passing similarity to Woody and Buzz from some other film, but a bit more haunted and, well, rubbish. The Long Cowboy is saying "i am full of snakes" and Bob Spaceman is saying "let's gooooo ... to space!"

This march was designed to spread tensions and hatred, and to intimidate the community and families who live there. Scotland should not be providing policing resources for sectarian events like this that are called to inflame tensions.
The National. Questions over Police Scotland officers sent to Orange Order walk. Scottish Greens are seeking clarity over the role of Police Scotland officers and demanding a review of the agreement that enabled their deployment.
