Bump!

Self-immolation for the worship of a weirdo conman without a single redeeming feature.  What the hell is going on?

It seems like he was just a sadly deluded individual (an avid conspiracy theorist) - and not a Trump supporter. There's a photo on the Beeb of him holding up a sign the day before he immolated himself. His sign reads "Trump is with Biden and they're about to fascist coup us".

He was a registered Democrat, self-described "investigative researcher"*, and enjoyed a smorgasbord of current conspiracy tropes under the general umbrella of the Great Reset [wikipedia].

*What avid conspiracy theorists describe themselves as, these days, in an attempt to give credence to their wild fancies.

A retro-AIIIEEEEE! from Sinister Dexter in "The Gangbusters":

Maybe Glinner and Growling are lawyering up, buoyed by their recent culture war victories and looking to sue Rebellion?

See, now I'm feeling bad.

With N-AI-mand, I find that I can pick almost anything to complete this sentence: the argument begins and ends with Moe Hallem. (Replace Moe Hallem with, say, Kyle Asher, or Mona Plankhurst, or Age of the New Flesh, or Noam.)

There aren't many Dredd writers at the moment that seem to *get* the madness of the city aspect of Dredd quite as well as the N-AI-mand entity manages to calculate, having harvested all of the inputs available to it.

++The fleshy creators will die!!!++

Easy for me - I never used Twatter anyway. Elon Musk is a right specimen. My only solace: he too will die one day.

I have been using the "Report to Moderator" function to report spambot posts full of dodgy links. They are no longer being deleted. Perhaps you should knight another of the boarders so they could ban hammer the shit out of those p(r)oxy malcontents!

* pp14-15 have an article about "Time Breakers", including a link to the Zoop crowdfunding campaign. That sounded interesting, so I went to Zoop, but the campaign finished 2 weeks ago.

Mein Gott!

[Rogue Pooper]

Rogue Pooper

A sexy female Nort agent, disguised as a vid-vulture mechanic, poisons Rogue with a fast-acting laxative.

Neil: "Uhm, Vyvyan, can laxatives actually kill you?"
Vyvyan: "I dunno, Neil, but I'm going to stay around and find out!"

Any font-nerds around might appreciate this: Papyrus 2 - SNL

I thought maybe Durham Red as another option, but the hair seems wrong.

[Rome]

I'm 19 years late to the party but I just finished Rome. Blimey, it's a bit good innit?

Yes. Yes it is.
