More where. It’s an incredibly popular chain of bakers in Scotland and Northern England that’s notable for its very cheap and reliable lunches and coffee. Most Scottish towns will have multiple on the same street.

There was one in Infinity War as well but it was edited into a generic coffee shop.

Also finding out "Do unto others as you would have done to you" only goes so far when the people involved willingly put themselves through heinous things in the name of productivity.

Hobbs and Shaw is the only Fast and the Furious movie that’s got a Greggs in it. So that’s worth a few points.

I remember seeing a video which complained that Discovery's biggest flaw was "The focus being on the emotions of pyjama wearing weirdos instead of the war we came to see".

You already failed at the basic buy-in.

Been getting clients supplying their own AI generated logos and they're usually incredibly gaudy and unusable

Knew that was AI the moment I saw the pissfilter and the font.

I'm a graphic designer and work has been flooded with these, usually with clients asking to fix them

Its all the same story with these people - they feel entitled to people loving them even when reality points against it.

There's a similar thing in the UK just now when Reform, the far right party, lost a by-election the media had heavily been hyping up their victory in lost by a large margin to a party with next to no media coverage. Now they're blaming frorigners and the government is tightening voting observations.

This is a nice little thread about the ways 90s indie comics handle storytelling very differently from what we’re used to now. Something I’d add is that the given example, Tank Girl, was an 8(ish) page feature in a monthly magazine, and it wasn’t even in every issue. They had so much time to do it!

At a wedding recently someone said indecision in picking one single favourite was probably a bigger tell than any single answer I’d give afterwards.

Its a goal in and if itself. The end result of a bullying, idiotic masculinity. The ability to be able to kill anyone anywhere in the world that they want is one of the few things that gives them meaning.

I don’t get video game TV shows that want to just recreate the existing story. At least Fallout is a new story in the universe.
