On the new episode I chat with @tamikathompson.bsky.social about gun crime in horror and in real life. We talk gangs, ghosts, curses and political theory - in her new novel THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS All podcast places

I bought a rather expensive mouse intending to use it for gaming but it needed to be usable on the Mac too. I bought a Logitech G502 X and it is semi unusable (I have karabiner-elements installed) because the G Hub is limited for it and the Logi options+ does not find the mouse. #buyersregret

Hopes and Dreams

Guess what…?

Did the emoji kill social media, even before AI?

It’s been a while since I read Halcyon by @rioyouers.bsky.social but it suddenly feels somewhat prophetic, almost current events… it pops into my head regularly as it contains one of the best villains ever…!

Dear Game Developers, You know how there is an option in some games nowadays tick off spiders in games? Arachnophobia, and you can tick a box so they turn into something else. Can we do this with dogs too? I hate killing dogs in video games! Also: Neoh 3 is awesome.

Very excited about this! www.instagram.com/p/DUiQX4OCOg...

I am the worst in the world at Nioh, but now at least the boss is down! #nioh3 #lovethisgame #ninjaalltheway

I need to see @kudocaz.bsky.social’s Iron Lung - but missed the two shows they had where I am in Sweden! Hope they bring it back! #ironlung

Playing the Nioh 3 demo … it is awesome..!

Just finished Senua’s Sacrifice: Hellblade II. Excellent game. Short but has such great storytelling. I even found myself crying out at a certain scene towards the end… so sad. Love this game!

Any #Bloodborne fans who have watched #MADGOD and noticed Mergos Wet Nurse at the end of it?

Watched Phil Tippet’s MAD GOD twice in the past 24 hours. What a masterpiece! Quite stunned.

Thrilled to see Cautionary Pulsed that I co-wrote with @ashleystokes.bsky.social on this list! www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

On the blog this week - I looked at Interzone 303 and lots to enjoy www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/1/...

Nice review of Cautionary Pulses: www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/1/...

You’ve Got This*

Going down the rabbit hole of research I found this article about Suicide: medium.com/the-coil/sui...

Night Whispers

Bed Head

Trying to buy an ebook version of The Mean Ones by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne but apparently this is not doable? Why is everything tech getting so much worse??!

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Trump wanting to check people’s social media history before they go to the states? Consider this a message that would get me banned … speaking of going to hell in a hand basket!

Is there not a single way to make Password systems that do not put you in a stupefied rage every two weeks or so?

My twitch recap is even weirder than my Spotify recap this year (Yes, I have Twitch on ALL the time): Shoutout to @duncstar.bsky.social - So many hours while I work! Thanks! static-cdn.jtvnw.net/recap-sharea...

Another go! Hi Tom…

Ja ok! Dembunking some ideas about Iceland - pca.st/episode/81fe...

We’re in. Miss Eddie though!

One magpie

Listening to a podcast (Já ok!) and hearing that Halldór Laxness said that in heaven you probably talk Swedish with a Finnish accent and can’t agree more. He also wrote that Danish came out of the hole in Hell situated in Iceland, so he must be right…? 🇮🇸

I've just read and thoroughly enjoyed the titles below, courtesy of the excellent @salopress.bsky.social @ashleystokes.bsky.social and @timjmajor.bsky.social, fine writers both, are on great form here.

Was just reminded of the 80s classic HAWK THE SLAYER - they don’t make films like that anymore 😋

Sleep is difficult these days. Just had a work session and it’s not even 5 yet. Not right. Will read now. #insomnia
