Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 12/10/2026These vocal tics reveal a lack of serious thinking: "and some people say..." "now, hold on a minute...." "etcetera etcetera..." 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Goodly morning gents. Another game Vic was destined to start, yet didn't. There'll undoubtedly be questions on this, so can we call this section of the #arsecastextra "GyokenSpiel" with a little musical intro? :D @gunnerblog.bsky.social 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Great episode as always. You discussed whether City players might get affected by charges and how the manager deals with that. I was thinking how much extra noise/contact these players and agents will be getting from clubs and agents in terms of a transfer. That distraction will be off the scale! 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I’m assuming you don’t have the same keyboard attrition as Alan Moore… 😂 bleedingcool.com/comics/what-...bleedingcool.comWhat Keyboard Can Withstand The Tumultuous Typing Of Alan Moore?Leah Moore, comic book writer and daughter of Alan Moore, tweeted a plaintive cry on social media the other day, on behalf of her father. Good morning 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Seems like “Celebrity Horses” or “Slow Traitors” is the next beeb hit. 😉 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Oh wow! Thanks so much for posting those! yep, my collection went to that great skip in the sky... 😢 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I the continue scrolling down and see loads of "Gaze into the Fist of Dredd" 😂 Which to be fair is understandable! 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Agreed. I don't have the original comic anymore, but in my (40yr?) memory this was made even stronger as it was the page flip after seeing Dredd staring into Judge Fear's 'face'. #DayOfDredd 110
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 04/10/2026#dayofdredd When I read "Gaze into the fist of Dredd" as a kid, it hit me hard. But I kinda like that it hasn't been anywhere in my socials. There has been Dredd from that period, but much more from newer stories. At least as my algorithmically-fed social is concerned, this is a good thing ;) 100
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I love McMahon and Bolland and Ezquerra. But Ron Smith needs more love. His work showed how *insane* Mega City One was. Uglies, Fatties, Chopper's dad heading eggs into a bucket (apologies I can't find the image but surely the description is enough??!!!) #dayofdredd 020
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yeah, you're right, on reflection it does sound patronising. In all honesty, I gave it a few seconds to write the whole thing, so that line got very little focus from me. 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 29/09/2026He had "America Intelligence" right there in front of him. Literally AI. We should have originally used "Virtual Intelligence". ie it's not *actual* intelligence, but it seems it is. 001
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I know I mainly post shit. But "rejoin" is a weak framing. "Rejoin" equals: "we made a mistake" "we need to merge with a stronger partner" Instead we need something like: "We need to save Europe" "We need to make Europe stronger" "We need to make us greater by making Europe greater" Positive 110
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The narrative needs to move on. We'll never 'rejoin' the EU we left. We may join a future EU, whatever it may look like. So 'join' not 'rejoin'. 131
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Maybe it'll be a three series 'documentary' about the Skywalker Ranch? Like a Jedi Clarkson's Farm? 🤔 Hmm, it'd be shite even if they did that. 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Let's just rename this. 'Artificial Intelligence' is actually 'Virtual Intelligence'. ie it's not real or actual intelligence. 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Just as the government realise that being more local is the answer, they allow the BBC to self-inflict one of the worst wounds against local power. Nandy's got to answer for this. And to say "the BBC governs itself blah blah" is not good enough. Gvnt holds the pursestrings. Gvnt can prevent harm. 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Not totally unexpected after Pep left at the end of last season. Methinks he and they knew this was coming. 115 point deduction please. 020
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The problem with computers is that they do exactly what you tell them to do. 020
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Same with other tools that have an AI plugin (Sketch, Miro etc). They've been slurping up the work of people for years now. But without any quality control. And so they spit back out... slop. 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 23/09/2026On a side note, @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and your suggestion of Philosophy beer mats is surprisingly not something I could easily find when searching. This *has* to be something for pub-philosophers to use. This lack is why the World has Not Been Put to Rights! (honestly I'm thinking merch) ;) 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 23/09/2026@lemoustier.bsky.social @originstorypodcast.bsky.social Honestly - a discussion about prehistorical and modern politics/ culture would be a classic for *Origin Story*. Not sure of the organising topic, as I'm not an expert in either!! 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 22/09/2026My memory of Belardinelli was that his Slaine was a bit 'sausagey' when drawn. But he did gorgeous nature, dragons and warp spasms. Ace Garp suited his style more - weird characters, spaceships and 'fun'. My 'lives-in-my-head-free' image is a tiger and bull-man arm wrestle from Meltdown Man. 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 22/09/2026What's quite amazing is that he didn't want to rebrand 'Artificial Intelligence' as 'America Intelligence'. It's still 'AI'. But no, he wants a costly rebrand... 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 19/09/2026{sigh} If in a match *all* our players are bad, is it more a problem of management rather than just individuals? On the bright side, we can never play worse against a team playing their best. Right??!?! 🤞 #arsecastextra @gunnerblog.bsky.social @arseblog.com 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 17/09/2026After reading some comments here, and realising I probably need a refresher with salty language rather than just Wikipedia, time for me to revisit your and Dorian's two parter on Zionism. pod.link/1624704966/e... I assume in the 3 years since you recorded it, you haven't needed to update it?pod.linkZionism Part 1Listen to Zionism Part 1 from Origin Story wherever you get your podcasts! 001
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 17/09/2026For me he's like a Phillips screwdriver. Great at what he does, but we're a team built using flathead screws. And he's awkward when trying to do anything with them. 020
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 16/09/2026looking forward to this one! [btw I prefer to watch via your site so can you update your site as it's got embedded the previous IOEW - ta!] ;)2000ad.comWe ****ed up (2000 AD's WILDEST artists pt.2) — In Orbit Every Wednesday | 2000 ADA mea cupla episode as Molch-R & KLO-E repent for their cruel omissions from their episode on 2000 AD‘s wildest artists (watch it here), including Simon Harrison’s mind-melting art and the under-appre... 100
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm not sure he 'wrote' that. Not even dictated. It seems to me the garbled memory of a sympathetic ear and mouthpiece hearing his confused outrage and smoothing with actual vocabulary and adding in a bunch of her own echoing. "seems" may be doing heavy lifting in my above sentence. 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I think this picture was in a book I had as a kid (sadly I don't have it anymore). It had so many great covers and pieces of artwork. Like you Heinlein I found awkward to read as a kid but my goodness the covers! 010
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 31/08/2026No problem - it was a pleasure to recommend a guy who deserves it. Glad your move was a smooth as mine! 🙂 040
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I think that was me 😌 Fernando was the guy? Hope you enjoy your new place! 150
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Just a beautiful little story. Since her passing, I've learnt a lot more about her amazing charity - it really is inspiring. 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 28/08/2026It’s great. From memory I always thought that film’s Mega City was heavily influenced by Ron Smith. Lurid and mad. 🙂 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 28/08/2026How past Nobel winners' breakthroughs and achievements have impacted the world. ie how Science (and Peace) affects how we live today. I'm hoping it would be a ray of hope and explain the importance of what the Prize highlights. 0200
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Trump signs his latest Executive Order. 'From this point on, the Reflecting Pool will be renamed "The Pool of America". Let this great National symbol be forever connected to President Trump's LEADERSHIP' 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Trump's next Executive Order: 'By Order of the GREATEST President EVER, The U.S.A will now be renamed as "America". Thank you for your attention to this matter.' 020
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Oh boy, this takes me back! Seems like the Wayback Machine needs to be able to go a lot further back in time!! 🤣 000
Whisht @whisht.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Interesting graphic! 😉 However, if I hear the words "Arsenal" "swoop" and "Watkins" in a headline... 🤣 000
