JACK KIRBY'S ONE PIECE

FRIENDS: please take this survey about the DC GO! webcomic line on DC Universe Infinite to help determine the future of the line!

I told them to renew Aquaman: Yo-Ho-Hold Onto Your Hook, put The Question (Vic Sage) in something, and recommended some good writers

Like I said, a lot of it was recontextualised images though - I.E. Scenes of empty shelves of a Woolworths being re-captioned “Empty shelves in Asda [Your town here] today SMH 🤦‍♂️”

Australia gets their toilet roll from China > China shuts down production because COVID > Australians panic buy toilet roll > People share Australians’ socials posts showing shortages of toilet roll > People panic buy toilet roll

A lot of it was born out of falsehoods anyway - either recontextualised images (e.g. picture of Black Friday 2009 being used as “PANIC BUYING SMH”) or people outright lying.

Heard more than a few reports of people going in, raking shelves clean, taking photos for clout then putting it back again.

Wouldn’t mind but even the UK government over here has been telling people SPECIFICALLY not to panic buy because it’ll drive the price up.

Dad went to the petrol station last night and it was queued out onto the road.

People not listening also doesn’t help.

You OK there, @xbox.com ?

I don’t care what people are reading if they’re reading. There’s way bigger problems in the world than adults READING books written at elementary level. #booksky

Three panels from Batman comic, he’s parking his car and says to himself it’s a safe place and then dashes off

Batman racing to bad guy hideout parks car and says to himself it’s a block away for safety and may be needed before dashing off

Batman talking about needing privacy for his car and parking it in vacant lot…

Re-reading stories from Batman’s year one in part prep for my superhero class, and impressed how much time Batman spends thinking about safe places to park his car…

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.

In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.

I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

FRIEND WHO I HAVEN'T SEEN IN A WHILE: your kid's gotten so big! what is he, four?

ME: i have no idea what he's for

Let's just stop with the "I deeply regrets" when you're caught in the Epstein files. You only regret that you got caught. We're not stupid, you perverts.

It's all for SEO - Search Engine Optimisation. Google, etc. prioritises lengthier content than shorter content.

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Usually when stores get busy and more tills are needed, shelf-stacking, price checking and code rotation (date checking) are the first to be pulled off.

That, and with less resources, means staff are basically having to decide what jobs do they NOT do to get the others done.

Something has to give.

I think a lot of it is the usual post-Christmas churn where companies cut jobs or pile on more work to their workers.

Heard more than a few reports here in the UK of some supermarkets doing hiring and overtime freezes, so there’s more work to be done in less time and with less staff-power (C)

Ha ha ha

Bookstagram is an amazing place where someone will say they are posting about the "unheralded," "underrated" books they wish to boost, and then the first book they talk about will literally be a Booker Prize winner

A lot of the press over here, too, is owned by far-right and right-leaning individuals too - e.g. The Murdochs.

Doesn't help that the UK press is all but against the PM because, like Biden, he's boring.

When the shitshows of Brexit and Covid were going on, they were making a mint with the continuous churn and "Oh god, what NOW?!" news alerts every 10 seconds.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

Is it me or has Bluesky on desktop gotten really, REALLY slow and laggy of late?

finally found a winter Olympic sport that i would totally fucking dominate

Are they the same as the "We won, get over it, ya losers" crowd from 2016 who rebranded to "N-NO THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN!!!111 CHEATERS!!111" in 2020/21?

Writing Tip:
Entertain the idea that your work needs improvement, but don't let that consume you. Don't get down in the dumps and assume that it's unsalvageable. Because nothing is unsalvageable. Anything can be improved. It just takes time and effort.

Even if you don't want to use the term "killed" there are a million different euphemisms from years gone by.

Pining for the fjords, sleeping with the fishes, kicked the bucket, kicked the oxgyen habit, bought the farm, etc.
