This is the moment that @alexjaffe.bsky.social utterly SHOCKED me and @cuntersthompson.bsky.social on the 2000 AD podcast. How? You'll have to tune in to find out tomorrow...

This is The Brain Rock. When my own brain is being uncooperative (around 85-95% of the time) I like to hold it in the hope it will pick up the slack.

A rock, sat on the edge of a laptop keyboard. It looks like a miniature asteroid, with a surface pitted with dozens of holes.

Which is what now...?

A Facebook post that reads "This is a very relevant topic at the minute. We are on our 3rd Heatwave which is Great. But as is common the number of people who die in our waterways goes up. As recently as Friday an 18 year old Lad died at Dovestones Reservoir in Saddleworth. Thats no way or Age to die. What people don't realise is cold water shock can kill an experienced swimmer never mind your average Joe. Plus there's many more obstacles under the water especially in Reservoirs. All we can do is try to raise awareness and if you see people messing about around water then challenge them."

Went to see Goblin Band at Cowley Workers Club, who were brilliant, and then was utterly entranced by Angeline Morrison.

A woman is sat on a stage in front of a microphone, playing an autoharp hat is sat on her lap. She is wearing a vivid blue dress with coloured circles on it. On her head is a golden halo headdress.

In front of a large Palestinian flag, Rowan of Goblin Band sings into a microphone and plays a hurdy gurdy. They wear a linen shirt and a leather waistcoat, with a bandana on their head.

Had to drive 300 goddamn miles to find somewhere at a fairly reasonable temperature.

Various glasses of beer on a picnic table, in the background is a tree and a large purple-coloured building. The sun has set and the sky is shades of blue, yellow and purple.

The fridges at the local supermarket failed overnight, so all of this spoiled food has to be dumped. What an avoidable goddamn waste.

A supermarket aisle. The shelves are empty as the produce, which has spoiled, is in several dozen green rubbish piled on the floor.

An image of an emotionless Marge Simpson sat on a stool and staring into the distance with the caption "At times like these, I guess all you can do is laugh"

Remarkable how many folk *immediately* got the reference when my wife and I went to a '90s-themed party, even without seeing the hand-printed hoodies...

A day of rest, as the Lord decreed.

A cat and a book on top of a duvet on top of a pair of legs (of which the feet are sticking out) on a sofa. A star lamp hangs in the tall, thin window behind them.

I'm a Gavi man myself... (he says, in North Bar)

A big bottle of Gaviscon next to a pint of beer.

Michael Molcher@molcher· Nov 19

Very good of you!

Michael Molcher@molcher· Nov 18

Clearly scared off by Ro-Jaws 'anging around 😕

Michael Molcher@molcher· Nov 4

This is genuinely getting too much.

Michael Molcher@molcher· Sep 9

Apologies to anyone with a cat, but we live with the best one.

A cat. The best cat. Curled up on the carpet in front of a grey sofa.

Companion when preparing for podcast. Companion when recording podcast.

A home office with green walls and a desk in the background. A pair of legs stretches out from a grey sofa into a red office chair. On those legs is a similarly long cat.

A fish eye photo of a desk, dominated by the long arm of a podcasting microphone, which sits on a book. Beside it is a laptop with a green tardigrade stress you by the keyboard.

Clunky external harddrive via old USB cable

A red external harddrive sat on top of a tangle of wires next to a silver and black laptop.

Already was!

An image by Kevin O'Neill of a robot whose body is fashioned like the armour of an English Civil War cavalryman.

Just heard the long, slow sigh of the carpet behind me as The Boy stretched into a new pretzel shape...

A cat, laying on grey carpet under a desk in a green-walled room. It has twisted into a curl with its hind legs together in a prawn-like configuration

Far closer to this by @mattbors.bsky.social, I fear.

A screenshot from the Girls5Eva TV show showing Wickie Roy standing in the street. The words "An adult man into comics is just stupid" are in subtitles at the bottom of the screen

Surely the most damning moment in the Oklahoma Bombing documentary on Netflix...

An image of a photo from the 1990s of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh with the suntitlw "[Lou] He has comic book collections".

Two frames of Brasso from Andor saying "Tell him ... I love him more than anything he could do wrong."

You are now Black Axe, congratulations.

A man in a disheveled office setting, surrounded by walls covered in papers, notes, and graffiti indicating an apparent conspiracy. He looks crazy.

Michael Molcher@molcher· Apr 3

Planning on populating the bottom of the wall with just endless lavender, to try and suppress the endless brambles. It now gets a slice of sun all day. Sadly the wall is too wobbly to accommodate any climbers (the jasmine is a nightmare)
