If anyone's at a loose end Sunday, I'm running a fab little benefit at BOLD for London Renters Union. Alasdair Beckett-King, Kate Smurthwaite, Hasan Al-Habib. Will be a fun one! BYOB as ever so super cheaps and a great cause! fienta.com/rent-a-laugh...

That cast!!!! 🤩 Can't wait!

Charlie Kirk hated the concept of empathy and thought it was dangerous, so the best possible way to honor his legacy is to make jokes about how great it is that he’s dead. It’s what he would have wanted.

Kier Starmer's statement that includes the words "We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear - there can be no justification for political violence" feels *slightly* hypocritical when he criminalises peaceful protest, endorses transphobia, and fully backs UK arms sales to Israel.

Spoopy season approaches

So arresting people for incitement and hate crimes against minorities is a waste of police time is it but arresting hundreds of nans protesting genocide and authoritarian law isnt, hmmm interesting

The Emily Bampton episode of the Quantum Leopard podcast is now out if you're keen! She's one of our champ of champs winners, and also you get to hear me try and relate to young people: quantumleopard.podbean.com/e/episode-34...

I don’t think a lot of people on the right understand that a lot of people on the left regularly hear people on the left spout opinions we too think are ridiculous, annoying and buzz-killing too, only we don’t then decide it’s worth destroying democracy because Tara thinks bin bags are classist

Now every time I awake from uneasy dreams I've gotta be like "did it happen again?"

I really hope Body Double Trump and Body Double Melania are happy together

i am once again begging actual play & podcast platforms to please list your cast & staff members somewhere — in your bio, an "about us" page, a pinned post, anything — i promise you it will help you get more clicks, partners, & sponsors in the long run. it adds accessibility & safety to your brand!

"Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use" (HT Katya Pendill)

Why yes, I am absolutely DELIGHTED with how my Duplo rainbow spider-mech turned out

The interesting thing I got from this is the more of us that use genAI the sooner it’ll bankrupt the companies making it and the quicker the bubble will bust

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Hey #AudioDrama voice actors, we're opening up our rosters! Do you love horror, or blood curling screams? Then this might be the place for you! Call closes August 27 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Saw someone's wish casually float past me in a coffee shop. Bud, you definitely have somewhere to be. Get a wiggle on.

Heading up to Ed to tech again for just the loveliest show. And it's another year where I look and think: "have I wasted another year not making something?"

Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...

Nothing Soulmuppet do is NSFW. Even if it was being delisted for it would be bullshit. But this is a company that isn’t even close to what the ban is supposed to cover, being directly penalized for it. With no warning. They do great games. Go help them out.

A perfectly normal amount of information to hand over to Epic Games a company - as a gamer - I know you can trust. They definitely will not package it all up and sell it to whoever offers them a shiny penny.

I FEEL THE NEED TO TAP THE JOHN WATERS SIGN REALLY HARD LATELY.

There's an astonishingly "what could it possibly mean?"-coded piece around saying "people who understand more about AI are less likely to want anything to do with it" and I just want to suggest: what if it were sharks?

This was ludicrously fun. Also infuriating. Also I had just had a very big fancy dinner so was wearing a waistcoat.

Moving on Thursday and currently in a game of chicken with the last roll of toilet paper

Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas

Magenta and Bernard are doing a YouTube Livestream THIS TUESDAY 15th July! Tune in to the ⁠Long Cat Media YouTube Channel⁠ from 6pm-10pm BST (that's UK time).

It's your last chance to respond to the EHRC consultation. It closes at 11.59pm tomorrow. Get it done tonight. Tell them about the personal impact. Better to do something short and quick than not at all. Don't let them claim we didn't tell them.

Our new episode AESCHYLUS is now available publicly, featuring @alanburgon.bsky.social and a full Greek Chorus (!!!) including @felixtrench.com @stellartim.bsky.social @rhyslawton.bsky.social Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

Have been using Deezer for years. Highly recommend it as they pay artists better, and haven't given millions to the worst people.

Gina dreams of running away, She cries in the night, Tommy whispers: "Perhaps a tweak to the algorithm is in order"

Well shucks! I am so lucky to work with these people!

I have a joke about hubris and it's better than every one of these jokes

This is tonight! A silly lil game from the comfort of your sofa? All proceeds to Medical Aid for Palestinians you say? What a treat!

Hey folks -- Signal Boost time for this week's #TheFullLid. If you have a creative project to promote, leave the details in a reply. Include the title and a link please, so folks can find it. For pre-launch crowdfunders let us know about 2 weeks in advance.

The world isn't silent on Gaza - this is by far the most vocal I have seen the general public on a political issue in my lifetime. I have also never seen a bigger difference between the anger of the public and the inaction of specific institutions and governments. That's the crucial disconnect.

This cunt's shoes are shit, I'm not walking a mile in them.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Back in my day, seizing a boat and abducting passengers was called piracy, and doing it for ideological reasons was called terrorism.

The Madleen is a UK-flagged ship, meaning the UK has a legal obligation to protect all civilians aboard. This website includes templates you can use as a starting point to contact your MP and the FDCO.

This month on Over The Table @fkth.bsky.social, @rhyslawton.bsky.social and I are talking about party fouls: GMs complaining about the fouls their party has inflicted on them. If you're a GM and have a grievance to air, submit your story for us to talk about! bit.ly/OverTheTableForm

Someone in one of my Discord servers shared this zine by Ruth Pearce, "But What Can I Do?": How to Fight the Trans Panic. It's UK specific but if you're in the US I still highly recommend giving it a read and printing out a few copies. ruthpearce.net/2025/05/26/p...

Have been working 21.5 out of the last 48 hours. 1 and a bit hrs left. The spirit is unwilling, the flesh too is unwilling. Got a real "unwilling" vibe going on.

For sale: Horse shoes. Baby human

Sam's a legend. If anyone's got work going he'd ace it
