Art from 'Aliens: Reapers' from 1991. This was a short 8 page no dialog comic story by John Arcudi and illustrated by Simon Bisley about 'Reapers' - an alien race that infiltrate Xenomorph hives to eat their eggs. My kinda alien race. 🍳

Doing further research into the origins of the Abrahamic religions following my essay on The Claimants to the Tortured Land, I learn that by a supreme irony, #Israel itself is named after...
Drumroll....
A CANAANITE DEITY.
Yes, that's right. The name 'Israel' honours not יהוה‎, but El.

If you think it’s OK to make someone feel like crap for being LGBTQIA because of your faith then you aren’t following the true doctrine of your faith.
The hurt I see happen to members of the LGBTQIA by “righteous” people makes me so angry and sad. I hate being associated with those people.

🎧Front Row - general cultural stuff that I can feel remote from in my day to day.
🎧Film Stories - Simon Brew is a great presenter and really draws you in to what went on behind the scenes of the films we all kn…

Detainee at "Camp East Montana" says guards bet on suicide
Like other detainees, Ramsingh said that between cleanings the rooms, restrooms and showers were often filthy and infested with insects.
He said detainees stole others’ food because everyone was hungry due to the small and sometimes inedible meals,
-- which led to fights, and the conditions took a toll on his mental health.
🔥At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made am…

911 calls reveal pain, despair at ICE'S largest detention camp
The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas. The emergencies included repeated suicide attempts by detainees, seizures, injuries from fights and a pregnant woman in pain. Data from more than a hundred 911 calls obtained by The Associated Press, interviews with detainees and court filings offer a portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutriti…

The media I'm following show 70 constituency seats called; presumably the list votes have all been tallied, so the list seats ought to be all allocated as soon as the last constituencies are called.

If you can do that without flinching at the obvious contradiction, then congratulations! You too can be prime minister"
This isn't my analysis of why #Starmer
