All the art, games, and music I made in my teens were on 3.5 floppies that are long lost to history.

What did you make in your teens, do you still have access to them?

Part of my search for my creative voice involves a self reflective process of reconnection and reinvention, while cutting out the noise I have allowed onboard over the decades.

I am reminded of this question, which I didn't connect with so much before, but resonates a lot with my current thoughts.

"Who were you before people told you who you should be?"

What about you? Who were you? Who even are you? 🤔

Jason Schwartzman wacks Mark Walberg on the face with a red balloon in I heart Huckerbees until he is numb and cannot think for a second. The inability to think is liberating. Tommy Corn : [after being hit in the face with a rubber ball] Awesome! Can we do the ball thing everyday? Caterine Vauban : Don't call it the ball thing. Call it pure being. Tommy Corn : Okay... so can we do the pure being ball thing everyday?

Mrs Wainwright, secondary school Geography teacher used to always say "The answer is in the question".

40 years later I see things like this, and can hear Mrs Wainwright's voice clear as day.

There are lots of interpretations of every religion.

For example, church goers at the La Epifanía del Señor church in Zacatecas pray to a giant statue of Phil Collins in diapers.

Perhaps it's some kind of symbolism that "Everything started with Genesis"? IDK.

Trump constantly looking like he is asleep is what you get when the only sponsor you have left in the whole MAGA world is someone that sells pillows.

It's quite funny to look back and realize LLMs are basically what people in the 80s that didn't understand computers, thought computers were all about.

In "democracy" you can vote for whoever you like, but if you don't vote for the globalist capitalist stooge, you'll get an actual fascist instead.

We don't live in a democracy that gives us options, we live in one that punishes us if we don't fall in line.

You get the impression from today's Tories (Sunak, Truss et al) that they don't really like Britain or its people very much. They regard the British people as lazy, "woke", workshy and ungrateful.

Hence all their talk about doing away with doctors' sick notes, discouraging work-from-home, "Singapore on the Thames" etc. They would much rather be governing an imaginary authoritarian country somewhere in Asia with zero workers rights.

A while back I was surprised to see this imbecile outside court with a stack of paper he called "all good articles" and I couldn't work out what it was, or what was going on.

It turns out his people print out positive articles about him and hand them to him throughout the day to occupy him and raise his self esteem.

Batshit crazy.

Did Flash Gordon really save every one of us?

I know Freddie claims he did. As much as I love Freddie he also claims to be a champion and I never saw him compete in anything. Not as reliable a source as we assume. This could be fake news.

Two nerdy questions for you.

Who wrote the Beauty And The Beast TV show.

How many years between the first LOTR book and the first Superman comic.

I'm really enjoying this channel that focuses on comic creators over the years. I'm finding it both insightful and motivational.

I had no idea about Hector German Oesterheld for example.

Across the pond they think they are so tough because a rap battle resulted in one of their houses getting shot up.

We have tough guys too. Remember that time Wiley snuck into Stormzy 's house and swapped the salt and the sugar resulting in Stormzy having a really horrible cup of tea? Brutal.
