I remember reading a list of games that would, effectively, cease to exist because of this. Tokyo Jungle chief among them. Seriously, Tokyo Jungle was great. Completely insane, but great.

So it turns out that not being allowed to actually own anything has made it remarkably difficult to actually be helpful, as my recent particularly frustrating odyssey proved. (1/however many)

Can we stop treating Prime Day like it's some kind of religious festival? It really cheapens the reverence for Shark Week.

You know that OpenAI is a perfectly legitimate business when you block their ads on Youtube for the dozenth time and are asked if you want to block all ads for clothing, or pest control, or whatever category they're pretending to be this time.

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it:

I'm really surprised that Trump is refusing to accept responsibility for screwing up the Reflecting Pool while blaming others. So out of character for him.

The BBC 10 oâclock news says the right wing idea of ethnic minorities being given preferential treatment in criminal justice is likely to become a âgrowing fault line in our politicsâ WITHOUT POINTING OUT THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. Whatâs the point of the news if it doesnât correct disinformation?

The phrase "two-tier" policing first entered Britain's political mainstream in August 2024, when people supporting the Southport rioters were complaining of their treatment But it is not a mainstream term - it originated with far right and conspiracist groups trying to push their own narratives
