an important thing to know about Count Binface is that he was previously Lord Buckethead, pictured here with Theresa May in 2017.

Lord Buckethead previously ran against Margaret Thatcher in 1987 and against John Major in 1992. Lord Buckethead ran for the Gremloids party.

Officially all Lord Bucketheads are the same Lord Buckethead who went away for a while and returned; however, it has come to light that Lord Buckethead (1987, 1992) and Lord Buckethead (2017) were two different guys under the bucket.

Following the 2017 general election the original creator of Lord Buckethead (not either of the guys who had worn the costume) asserted his legal rights over the character and 2017 Lord Buckethead acquiesced. and so, Count Binface came into being.

In the 2019 general election Lord Buckethead and Count Binface both ran against Boris Johnson, Binface as an indepent and Buckethead having joined the Monster Raving Looney Party. (NB this Lord Buckethead was a third different guy, not 87/92 Buckethead)

Lord Buckethead won the race (ie, got marginally more votes than Count Binface) but has not stood in an election since whereas Count Binface has been very prolific, running in two mayoral elections, two by-elections, and one further general election in 2024:

Youtubers who just cover horror content are a godsend because horror is incredibly fascinating for me to analyze but also I’m a baby who hates getting scared

[chongoblog]

I've gotta help out here, since Wendigoon sucks and you deserve better

Night Mind is good at covering various ARGs and Youtube horror series. Been a fan of Nick Nocturne for a long time now, and definitely recommend his stuff

Lately I've been checking out Nightmare Movies, who tends to cover obscure horror/exploitation movies including a lot of foreign stuff. I've got a couple minor gripes with his presentation (I may post a clip thats accidentally really funny later), but definitely good for branching out and finding something new and creepy

One channel I can't recommend enough is Dead Meat. They have a series called "Kill Count" where they go over every death in a horror movie, and while doing so, go in-depth as to how the effects were done. It's a fantastic channel with a high production value and a lot of very clear adoration for the genre. With over 500 Kill Count episodes, I can't recommend it enough for any horror fan.

the thing about living with mental illness for decades is that occasionally your brain will be like hey you're useless and should kill yourself and your only real reaction is cmon man right now im in the middle of something

[captain-price-returns]

Arrest everyone involved.

[captain-price-returns]

Money saved: maybe a couple million dollars.

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

That’s why you should never accept the excuse “Well it was a different time.” They knew it was wrong. They always knew.

hi i hope i get to be the one to break this news on Tumblr, because

I am reading Tim Curry’s 2025 memoir, Vagabond

and in it, he not only devotes a chapter to Muppet Treasure Island, but also references this very post

so, to recap

no, Tim Curry is absolutely NOT a Muppet; however

yes, he and Miss Piggy ABSOLUTELY fucked

All these industries with shortages of workers and they can’t figure out why.

Im proposing the hypothesis that the reason we don’t have enough doctors/pilots/bus drivers/etc is that maybe, just maybe, having your entire industry function as a lifelong hazing ritual isn’t the best recruiting strategy.

[transhuman-priestess]

Doctors are subject to 8 years of post-secondary education and are forced to work 48 hour shifts.

Pilots and other transportation workers have absurd hours of service requirements that start your rest period as “the moment you shut the vehicle down” and can be as short as 9 hours in some cases.

Railroad workers have to be available on-call 6 days a week and be ready within two hours notice. They don’t get sick time.

Retail workers have to keep a veneer of politeness against any and all abuse or they can be fired.

Truck drivers get paid by mileage and rarely see pay for shipper or receiver delays.

Work should not be designed to make you a miserable burnout and yet here we are.

when i worked on heritage rail tours, i worked 22 hour days. i was on my feet for 19 of those hours. we would start at 4am and finish at 2am. i was exhausted and unhappy.

when i worked at the bingo hall, i worked 37 hours a week. i ran from game to game, worked the front desk, sold tickets, cleared gaming pads, collected and counted the money every night. i was falling asleep at work and running myself ragged.

when i worked at the pub, i'd work anywhere from 3-6 hour shifts. a lot of those shifts lasted until midnight and gone; i wouldn't be home until 12.45am at best. i was constantly misgendered and rushed off my feet, despite support from staff (one guy really).

i did all of this for minimum wage. i never want to work retail or hospitality again because it has ruined my health physically and mentally. i'll never yell at retail or hospitality staff and will cut the throats of people who do because i have been there. you need to be either stubborn or tenacious to work those jobs.

The only difference between me (someone who draws) and someone who wishes to draw is simply that I draw. There's no magical quality someone who draws or sculpts or sews or writes or composes or crochets or plays or codes or knits or sings or whatever has that people who aren't making art lack except willingness to make art. When I was younger (and to this day) I wanted to draw so bad. It gets under my skin. It bothers me deeply. Not having a pen in my hand. Not understanding how something was drawn. I was just so interested in it I could not contain myself. So all the frustration and discomfort and humiliation of learning something new and being bad at it was worth it to me and still is. I still make plenty of art that looks bad as I keep learning and trying things. I just tend not to post the things that look bad. If wanting to make art gets under your skin, I urge you to pick up the pen or the needles or the keyboard or the guitar or whatever art making tool of choice and make something. I promise there's nothing fundamental you lack. I promise there's no magic quality that makes someone an artist that you don't have. Of course there's nothing wrong with yearning. I'm just saying that the bridge between not being an artist and being an artist is just making art, not some secret artist ingredient that gets put in some people and not others. The one thing I hear constantly as an artist is "wow I wish I could do that". I hear it more than anything else. You can do it. The only "leg up" I have on you is just years of experience. Which you're never going to get if you never even get started. I used to look at other artists with such envy. I used to think they were just keeping secrets from me or were just more special than me, and that's why their art was better. But it was just learning and hard work I hadn't done yet between my skill and theirs. The more I draw and learn, the more I understand just making things was all I had to do to get where I wanted. And you can do that too!

If your system doesn't account for the fact that Parents Are Going To Be Abusive/Neglectful/Insufficient then it objectively sucks I'm sorry I don't make the rules

[galaxycepheus]

Monitored bank accounts for those under 18. Requiring parental consent for medical procedures. Parental controls on personal devices. "We won't teach this at school because parents are supposed to address it at home." Anything that puts all of the child's power onto the parents' hand, anything that assumes parents are going to inherently do enough of a good job no one else needs to interfer, every single one of these IS going to be used by controlling, neglectful or unprepared parents and already are, and if the system did not account for that very real, tangible, dangerous tendency, then it's not worth fucking anything. You shouldn't make things "for the youth"/with children in mind if you are going to overlook this painfully common aspect of their lives u_u

Every single non trans woman who proclaims to be an ally absolutely needs to be posting about how goddamn transmisogynist staff is.

Because when trans women dare to speak up for themselves, Tumblr nukes their blogs.

We need to be fucking loud about this, daily, because Tumblr staff is specifically targeting and deleting trans women who are not breaking ToS and who often have fundraisers up FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

By deleting these blogs repeatedly, Tumblr staff is saying loud and clear what they hope happens to these girls.

Are y'all okay with that? Because if not we need to be posting about it more because we have seen by now it's incredibly fucking unlikely this sites moderation will delete our blogs for it because we are not trans women

Tumblr staff and CEO Matt Mullenweg want trans women in need to not be able to post their fundraisers, meaning they are okay with these women dying.
