I'll never be so cosy.

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

It's a shelf. They asked chatGPT to write 12 paragraphs about how shelves work. And called it an IKEA invention. A fucking shelf. And I clicked it. The world is bonkers and I am too.

A crazy beginning to the AAUP v. Rubio decision.

Tonight's music: Bizet's symphony in C. It's a light and lovely work.

This is as fascist as fascism gets.

This passage nearly broke me.

A smile from daddy.

Quietly removing my Samsung cock ring and throwing it out.

I know I keep saying this, but Hell is Us is a hell of a video game. It's wonderful, thoughtful, mysterious, and gut-wrenching.

Tonight's music: George Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children, an absolute favourite, heartbreaking and sincere. Bonus: you get to hear a musical saw (played with a bow, like a cello)!

That thing when someone thinks 'civil' means 'call for eradication for minorities but in a soothing voice'.

Oh.

This post is inspirational - and Dale Olson was a trailblazer - but the "Curtis White" angle is dubious. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Da...

Hat doffed to the Marvel Rivals player I paired with this evening called Girthquake.

Tonight's music: Tchaikovsky's scintillating 1st symphony. I've posted it before, but I think it's underappreciated.

Hell Is Us is absolutely my 2025 game of the year so far. It feels specifically made for me; I'm so grateful for it.

Today's music: Gerald Finzi's My Spirit Sang All Day, in honour of the composer's death this day in 1956. This one was always a joy to sing back in my pro days.

Proudly presenting People of Note, a turn-based RPG musical, releasing in 2026 in association with Annapurna Interactive. You don't wanna miss this one, folks. (Reposted with fixed trailer!)

Ezra Klein is a clown and I'm tired of hearing about him.

All I want it to play a single match as DPS without being forced to tank or heal, please Marvel Rivals, let me have this.

Oh.

My sacrilege: I don't want to play FF Tactics again.

Paypros censorship is already limiting what kind of art can be made. Customers want to buy it, and developers want to make it, but Mastercard and Visa say NO to adult art made for an adult audience

Tonight's music: Rhapsody in Blue. It's George Gershwin's birthday, and this is one of those famous works that earned its stellar reputation.

My Linux install crashed while using browser and now won't boot so that's fun.

I hijacked the Larian writers' Slack channel to determine everyone's favourite ABBA song and no one made the same choice. #ImportantInformation

Really glad I returned to Rogue Trader. I love the writing - convoluted, expressionist, dripping in mystery and backstories I only half understand, all of which is a compliment from me. I appreciate straightforwardness when it's called for. Here, I love to feel my way through, drawing conclusions.

Thanks to @asininemetal.bsky.social for sending me this one.

Today's music: Shostakovich's 8th symphony, in honour of the composer's birthday (25 Sept 1906). It is, in my mind, a dark reimagining of his 5th. The similarities are clear, ideas straight lifted from his earlier work, intense musical thoughts further intensified.

here’s a list of all the piece of shit comedians who took money to white wash saudi arabia’s human rights abuses

Oh this Maggie Gyllenhaal Frankenstein film is going to be a mess - the monster isn't Frankenstein, it's a whole meme! - but I hope it's a watchable mess.

Please, I need your vote.

To be fair, he came with a lot of red flags.

Vocal cord surgery tomorrow and I am not nervous at ALL.

Acetaminophen doesn't cause autism, NPR. Hope that helps!

Woo the number of people going for the easy win but missing the point on this one.

Off to a great start in Baby Steps.

Tonight's music: Bohuslav Martinů's wonderful 4th symphony. The composer has been long thought to have been on the spectrum - and was brilliant by any measure. My favourite Czech composer, with apologies to Dvořák, Smetana, and Janáček.

When I’m feeling bad about myself I try to remember someone out there would kill to have my face. Its name is The Face Slicer Offer and it is waiting for me to fall asleep

Damn Silent Hill f going right for the gut-punch minutes in.

Sometimes I feel like I'm good at games. Not usually, but sometimes.

It's the anniversary of Bob Fosse's death in 1987, so it's a perfect time to post this.

Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

I think physicists really blew it when they didn't name the decay of the Higgs field 'The Rapture'.

lmao what

Matching beard and coat. I really do look like a muppet today.
