State of Play starts in a minute. I'll be tweeting along with it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0e5...

PATREON SUPPORTERS - I just posted an article exploring some of the films I'm looking forward to sharing with you in the year to come. You can read more about it here: www.patreon.com/posts/light-...

TWITCH PEEPS - We're back tonight with another mystery horror game in the Horror Hangout! 7.30 PM GMT - twitch.tv/devilligan

Fucking hell. What a deeply evil thing to put people through.

The very existence (let alone the wording) of this consultation is an outrage, but please fill it in anyway, it doesn't take long.

Now watch Ireland thrive and become world leader in the arts. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

I only became aware of this Peanuts page in the past few years. I think if you asked me for my top five pages of comics, this would have to be on there. Even without the added context of Schulz's imminent passing, that final line hits like a truck.

Extremely depressing that The New Yorker is guilelessly parroting this shit!

Blergh.

Fantastic movie. Such a pity it got lost in the mire.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do with my Harry Potter books, because just dumping them in a little free library felt wrong. So I mailed them to this artist who was turning them into portraits of murdered trans women www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/11/a...

Thoughts and prayers with Sam lake rn who just seems like a nice guy who likes making video games he thinks are good.

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”

TWITCH PEEPS - Taking a day off, so no stream from me today but Part 1 of my play though of the brilliant folk horror game MUNDAUN is now up on YouTube: youtu.be/4LS6wqVrpVs

Very fond of this Mr Hyde by Grickle, look at that lovely Mr Hyde face

Love Vince Guaraldi's music. Always feels like a soothing, inherently good thing in the world.

America's anti-woke president keeps trying to provoke international incidents with Canada while his entire country is hooked on Canada's gayest TV show.

Killer last line in this searing takedown:

Hour long State of Play set for February 12th, let's goooooooooo!!!!! www.eurogamer.net/playstation-...

I think a lot about how when I was young it was my absolute dream to live and work in the US, and how several times I've come so close to relocating there for work, and how now this could easily be me:

If you haven’t already, delete your TikTok

TWITCH PEEPS - It's Monday so it's Expedition 33 day!!! 7.30 PM GMT - twitch.tv/devilligan

Now I am envisioning an art jam where people make two panel stories that have different meanings when read right to left vs left to right

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

Madeleine de Sinéty, a French photographer who documented life in Poilley—a small village 60 km from Rennes—between 1970 and 1978, left behind a monumental collection of images: no fewer than 33,000 color slides and 23,000 black-and-white negatives.

PATREON SUPPORTERS - Reminder that we'll be watching the extraordinary Powell and Pressburger film The Red Shoes in the Light Fantastic Theatre at the slightly earlier time of 7 PM GMT tonight!

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

In case you missed last night's stream of this odd little experience, here it is on up on YouTube: youtu.be/2rAr5pCLffk

It remains very funny that people are scared of this guy and the evils they imagine him wanting to inflict

Julia Armfield's excellent novel Private Rites depicts the grim apocalypse of a London where it never stops raining and the city is slowly being consumed by rising water, and it feels like we're living through that in Southern England right now. Endless days of rain with barely an hour's reprieve.

TWITCH PEEPS - Tonight we'll be giving Subnautica: Below Zero a whirl! 7.30 PM GMT - twitch.tv/devilligan

What a couple.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"People used to lose their jobs when they posted stuff like this." "Sure grandma, let's get you to bed."

This is because we’ve had a long run of PMs who have only wanted power for power’s sake. They don’t really understand or care about people and they certainly don’t want to make anything better.

Published my first piece at @wired.com today, about a string of AI thrillers that have bombed (most recent being the hopelessly naive Chris Pratt vehicle 'Mercy'), the backlash to Darren Aronofsky's YouTube slop take on the American Revolution, and a grotesque nostalgia-bait Super Bowl ad:

Glorious!

Played the game this is adapted from tonight and found it to be an engrossing, and occasionally very creepy good time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlRQ...

"We've all been sacked for the potential that we could upset a thin-skinned fat paedo"

Everyone dumb.

The era of hiding behind servers is over.

TWITCH PEEPS - We're back with a new game in the Horror Hangout tonight, but what will it be??? 7.30 PM GMT - twitch.tv/devilligan
