JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

in honor of Sam Neill, here is one of my favorite movies he ever made

You can play this on your phone in about 1 minute

Just sharing this again at a time of what's happening in Australia. In Event Horizon Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replaced with the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

Please revive Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal as a short just to make his version of this scene please.

We have extended the Games and Archaeological Play call for zines until July 17th! Anyone can submit a zine: you do not need to attend or register for the conference to submit. gapworkshop.org/call-for-pap...

Genuinely, what the fuck???

Video Game Bookclub pals? @profaniti.bsky.social @benrlmeredith.bsky.social @irny.bsky.social

it’s dead guys

Remember, don’t put severed body parts directly on ice, put them into a sealed plastic bag and put THAT into ice. Anyway enjoy the evening America.

I keep getting a YouTube ad for GPT's image generation in which someone uses it to make...a zine style collage. I hate this, I hate this and I hate them.

Getting some real Chinese Alchemical Elixir Poisoning vibes from this guy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese...

Do you like weird, poetic, experimental, short-form videogames? Perfect! We're looking for volunteer first readers for the next issue of Game Poems Magazine: forms.gle/woymquRuJJyv... Play a few games, help shape the next issue! Heart.

No idea why so many people are watching football whilst there is a schism going on.

The Kids Are All Right (arcane magic edition)

Keeping up with the drama of Schism '26 and muttering to myself "Go on Leo, fuck 'em up", whilst waving my giant foam finger with EXCOMMUNICATION written on it.

Fuck it, I'm going in.

Our campaign for a union at Rockstar continues! Today, we've filed for recognition with @rockstargames.com, asking Rockstar to meet with their workers to agree a deal for good working conditions, fairness and a say at work. We await Rockstar's response. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You laugh but DC already has a lot of assets so they needed something that wouldn’t tank the frame rate.

Celebrities should only be allowed to do this if they can commit to the full Dick Francis route. Ok Aled it’s a 40 book deal and every single one needs to centre around choristers.

An alien microbe consuming the sun actually sounds like a preferable scenario right now.

I've just written a review of the system-neutral horror adventure by @irny.bsky.social tl;dr; Buy this if you like running modern horror games! planesailinggames.com/review/2026-...

Any British columnist writing about how the heat wave "isn't that bad" should have to declare both the peak temp where they live and if they have air conditioning.

i really hope i dont have to be the british pm next week i have plans

Man Proposes, God Disposes (Landseer, 1864)

We all know what the only sane outcome is

Wes Streeting is backing Burnham which is how we know nothing at all will change.

Oops?

"Sexy Andy Burnham is set to mount a challenge from the north against formerly-sexy but now effete and ineffectual Keir Starmer! God, this is like Game of Thrones." Yeah it is, in that I wish you would shut up about it.

I think this show is also open tomorrow daytime! I was able to pop in this evening and there's a lot of variety in the games on show. If you're in the area tomorrow, I recommend visiting!

Lovely short video (it can be done!) from @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social on success in the face of failure and the value of accessibility in game design. youtu.be/ldS4Dyys82E?...

Triston, my little, slightly weird match-3-citybuilder-interactive-soundscape for @play.date is releasing in less than a week - he's another trailer showing some more gameplay www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY8q... #gamedev #playdate #indiegames #BewareOfTheForests

I love this ridiculous animal.

So I watched a film last night, having seen the trailer a while ago I was braced for a silly 80s adventure movie and, it was not that. The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey is a visually stunning but oddly grounded fantasy about a group of peasants at the height of the Black Death travelling through…

Hi Folks! A quick reminder that the inaugural Tabletop Unconference is happening this Saturday in London! Tickets are still available, and cost as little as £1. Get them here: ti.to/tabletop-unc...

I hope no one from the UK is engaging in this Cheetos discourse, this is not a reflection of how our pure and natural Wotsits are produced.

A seriously amazing piece of documentary work on something that is all at once Darger's Realms of The Unreal, Phillips' A Humament, and Borges' On Exactitude in Science whilst also being throughly and utterly its own wonderful and unique thing.

Banning teens from social media and YouTube but still permitting AI chatbots is the kind of policy suggestion you'd get if you asked an AI chatbot.

if you are living in Britain, and you're 17 year old, and you've gotten into game dev, and you're trying to figure out how to do volumetric fog because you think it'll make your cave level look sick, and it's 10:30pm: you can ask a chatbot but you can't watch a video tutorial or look on Reddit.

Seriously though I can do paper and fabric props and have a skill for finding stuff in junk shops if you’re looking to source things that way.

If someone wants props made for a Nordic LARP hit me up, I’m writing a small one at the moment and trying to resist the temptation to just start making props before I’ve even got the characters down.

I'm led to believe that the Prime Minister has actually issued a statement about last night's pogroms. But in order to read it you have to have an account on the combination far right propaganda/child abuse image website run by the US billionaire who has called for a fascist coup in Britain.
