Can't wait for Robin Ince to get as many column inches in the national press over his actual establishment silencing due to his stance on lgbt+ rights as phobes get over their former friends not wanting to hang out so much any more

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

I’ve been really trying to get people to interact with the Sgt pepper prints but every time I go on insta or threads everyone’s just going nuts about my dr who illustrated tarot cards. I was waiting for sgtp to end so as not to confuse things but I might as well just launch it now really.

In a foolhardy attempt to appease my bank manager, I suppose I should mention that I have some books which may – or may not – make suitable presents for Christmas.

Happy birthday!
A small point: I know lots of people these days say ‘print’ to mean artwork generally, but it’s important to make the distinction as it’s not a print, I draw each one to order.

I've been fortunate enough to gain some new followers recently. Welcome, and also, maybe you would like this, if you like listening to things. There are some great comedians in it. It's a long-running story. But it's only up to episode 3 (this weekend).
I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.
