Madonna has kicked off Pride month celebrations by launching a cyberattack on grindr

It took Rushanara Ali months to come back with an unimpressive reply when I emailed her about the last draft, but maybe it'll be different now there's a motion with some momentum behind it?

journalists, if you wanna do a retrospective on this weird endeavor, now's the time.

Over the past few months there has been a massive increase in website visits from people googling "how to kill a god." Is everyone ok. This does not feel like they are ok.

God, I am *so* excited to talk to people about City of Espers (and TTRPG design in general)! I can promise to be very charismatic and entertaining in your interview, podcast or livestream!

Down at Brick Lane for the protest against locating a data center in Truman Brewery

we're seeing swelling grassroots support for this ambitious proposal

What if I skip dinner, head straight from work to the cinema, watch Backrooms and Obsession back to back, and emerge scungry into the night

They were also partner of last year's fringe, where they ran a workshop for artists: “It was particularly bizarre to be in a room with performers who were being sold a ‘tool to make their lives easier,’ which was then shown writing a play!” www.edinburghinquirer.co.uk/p/artists-pr...

If AI companies are the only ones anywhere with any money, then yes, siphon as much of it as possible off into the arts, please. But at the same time: fuck this image laundering in seven dimensions.

As a bisexual THIS IS ALLYSHIP! I dont want recognition. I don't want a parade. I want the world to be more annoying for everyone.

This week, the party splintered over what to do with the elephantine star-nosed mole attacking them: hug it or turn it into haggis. No, the solution is not to split the difference and "give it a huggis". (The mole remains as right-side-out as any heartsblood beast, for now.) #OpenHeart

This is actually the perfect move to pull in a Dagger in the Heart campaign

Am I missing anything worthwhile if I stop reading WALDEN at 30%?

Is Alice Is Missing a jubensha?

Why do they call it secret spy handshakes and not M high five

Today Nico teleport-punched a zombie shark man (half shark, half man, all sharkman) and threatened a wet witch in chilling terms

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

Dead Hand Rule, 2025

Newsletter minus 2 hours

It's the last Friday of the month, which means there's a new Professional Relations, the newsletter where me and my parents (who I'm in business with) interview each other (and I update you on I NEED A MIRACLE, MERELY ROLEPLAYERS, and other projects buttondown.com/foggyoutline

My new headphones do a little chugga chugga guitar lick when they power on and pair, instead of a shiny Technology Device chime, and it's bringing me joy today

If you never read things you're not ready for as a child, you'll never know the joy of revisiting it as an adult and going "whooo, that went WAY over my head the first time" or "I do NOT remember this scene AT ALL"

Last year, I missed my partner's birthday because I was at UK Games Expo. (It was early in the relationship and I'd booked UKGE before I knew when her birthday was!) Anyway, this year I won't be at UKGE. You all have fun!

I've become the ghost in the group chat. I dissolved in the sunlight

For actually good car chases in actual play podcasts, you want Realms of Peril & Glory's CY_BORG seasons. Merely Roleplayers traffics in more absurd and, dare I say it, more realistic stunts

White vans and market town streets aren't that conducive to high octane road chases, okay? Audio from Merely Roleplayers' Vigil: Dream Big, with Strat, Dave, Helen and me. Animation by Karen Boothman. youtu.be/jXSmXNOi_To?...

Tips for #UKGE this week: ✨ Comfortable shoes are out: spiked wooden clogs are in ✨ They don't advertise, but there's a weasel fighting arena round the back of Hall 3b ✨ Bring your own blowpipe and tranquilliser darts from home. Renting is $$$ ✨ If you hear 3 short blasts of a klaxon, start running

are you compelled by the idea of tarot at the gaming table but haven't yet found a deck that speaks to you? Why not give Spindlewheel a try? Archetypal cards with poetic prompts will indulge your bleakest instincts and surprise you with their juxtapositions.

Happy Towel Day, Hitchhikers, wherever you may be. Sadly I’m not in Stalbridge for the unveiling of Douglas’s Blue Plaque but Marvin is apparently doing an excellent job of being miserable and the weather really couldn’t be better for overheating all the diodes down his left hand side…

Well, it took me half an hour to fill a double-page of my notebook with ideas for episodes of this new thing (working title SALT IN THE WOUND), so safe to say it's got legs beyond the pilot ep script

Looking for people who have been involved in adapting another IP into an RPG who are down to talk about what you found difficult, easy and different from the normal design process. Bonus points if its an unusual one

It's true, there aren't enough TTRPG adventures set in the UK! I wish I'd had Darkened Hill & Dale when I first stared running Monster of the Week for Merely Roleplayers oldmenrunningtheworld.com/very-british...

might start watching er. how many erpisodes are there

istheukhotrightnow.com Good little weather trend website that tells you if you're allowed to complain that its more temperature than usual

I got another year's use out of my headphones by refitting the cushions. But now the right speaker's stopped working. And the next nearby repair cafe isn't until September. And I've got a bit left in this month's pay packet. And I've been a brave soldier and deserve to treat myself

I made a hand prop for our last in-person Heart session and the players leaped on it and loved it so much, and now oh no I want to make them for every time we play at the table #OpenHeart

It's World Goth Day, let's see your gothic art 🖤

I'm coming up on my second presentation party in as many months, and I've just had a killer idea, killer enough that I now don't have to recycle my presentation from the first party

One of the best things you can do as an adult is realize that you didn’t actually have to stop drawing, coloring, painting, playing with clay, doing whatever else you loved as a kid. Even if you’re bad at it. Maybe especially if you’re bad at it

Cis folk; we have to step up for trans ppl here. Because this might feel like it's not relevant to you, but it is. I, a 5'10" broad-shouldered, deep-voiced cis person, look forward having my gender questioned* and needing a BIRTH CERTIFICATE in order to pee. *But only in a tactful, polite way obvs
