aquaman wanted dead or alive 1969 cover

I'm not a fan of Aquaman (and l'm a poet and don't know it), but this 1969 cover is excellent, and makes me want to read the actual comic, as covers should do if they fulfil their purpose.

as zelensky arrives in the uk, here's todays front papers

As Zelensky arrives in the UK, here are today's newspapers front pages.  Since the jaw dropping TV shitshow that was their 'meeting', all the world leaders on the right side of history have come out and supported Zelensky and Ukraine, although there hasn't been much mention of that on the TV news.

What a time to be alive.

aexa / siri - show me a twat

You'd laugh if it wasn't so serious. Putin's puppet, interested only in money, power and probably not being assassinated by Russia if he goes against them. He's full of crap and pretty much all he comes out with is a lie or a grift. What. A. Twat.

pray for the pope

Pray for The Pope - see how much good that does.  This is not a slight on The Pope, it's a statement on the futility of prayer, apart from the fact it can give oneself some comfort.

today's trump, vance and zelenski shitshow

Just when you start to think Trump and Vance can't degrade themselves and America any lower. That was the most pig ignorant display of (so called) politics and bullying from them that l have ever had the misfortune to witness, and for all the idiots that haven't believed Trump is on Russia's side, then a spectacle such as this confirms it, and things must be really fucked up if l'm agreeing with Robert Jenrick (below). Make no mistake, this was a world changing event, and certainly not for the good. It wouldn't have happened if Harris had been elected, and once again puts to bed the 'all politicians are the same' argument. Where the fuck are the voices from past presidents, both Republican and Democrat denouncing all this crap and defending America's principles and place in the world?  No wonder l drink (and l still blame God).

While meanwhile, this passed under the radar....

welcome to new york - the rolling stones - still want it

This listing on ebay was the most l have ever bid for a single album.  I bid so that the combined price including postage and VAT would be a bit over £100, as l have been after the lp for a while (despite already having it on CD).  Bidding ended in the early hours of this morning, and reader, it wasn't enough, as this would have come to about £160 with all costs.  Damn!!

If only l had a spare £200,000 lying around.  I'd buy this and ban pretty much everyone, using it as an exclusive club for myself and my very few mates. With a very loud jukebox.
