To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories: - Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy - Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

This is a fantastic interview in general, but the realness of this particular answer stopped me cold

Your Party running a sortition exercise for their founding conference then purging nearly 10% of those selected to attend isn't doing anything to dispell the notion that they're less a political party and more a performance art piece meant to mock the entire concept of left-wing organising

Just cancel your Netflix subscription and stop buying avocados. You'll be fine

Not that I'm suggesting it, but there are some fairly recent eras in Western history where this would get Witkoff marched to the guillotine

NEW: I spoke to Team Cherry about Silksong DLC, cut content, difficulty settings, storytelling, what they were thinking with Bilewater, the lack of signposting for Act 3, whether they'll do another Hollow Knight game, and much, much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

honestly i know we hate the government but look at the polling on the two-child cap and remind yourself that it is also important to hate the electorate

Find me a better intro I'll wait www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

nick, 30 ans, is statistically likely to be two centimetres to the left of karl marx!

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

i have a fever :( but i still painted stuff

well that's bad innit

Part 28 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg dnd Steel and Bone Breastplate" Found in the Italian Peninsula, Unknown Culture, Late 6th Century

Ridiculous

the key here is that most of the opinion setters are on the bottom 4 despite the top 4 being more accurate in representing popular opinion

In addition, it is a category error to speak of “lowly paid” jobs in the UK. We have a high costs problem: housing, going out, and food inflation are too high!

Jokes on you, I am against automating home delivery services for takeaways not because I think those jobs should be performed by people, but because I don't think home delivery should exist. You will walk to the takeaway as your ancestors intended.

I don’t get it, why does making art become unsatisfying when you remove the part where your brain works and is rewarded with a sense of accomplishment

Has the government tried being good

As a child I only knew Thanksgiving from the Dino Riders cartoon and thought they made it up for that.

Keir Starmer - 2024 - 202?

I think what this (widely shared among some people who follow me) attitude misses is that, of course, if you have a series of cowboy builders, you are going to be more and more irate as the process goes on.

Hey all! I'm happy to say that you can get my workout Nemesis piece signed by Becca herself (Nemesis VA) from Hades II!! You can check it out in the link below :D ❤️🖤 streamily.com/beccaco

One effect of our age of the rich: the flattery industry is booming. Call them luxury hotel concierges, personal trainers, Trump cabinet members, Musk "loyalists", wealth managers etc, but the essential job is flatterer. Me @financialtimes.com on how the industry works on.ft.com/43SIvbR

I'm still in disbelief but I got commissioned by the amazing VA of Dora and Scylla from Hades 2 to draw those amazing characters and you can buy them as prints now signed by Erin! Go and treat yourself streamily.com/erinyvette

The modal British voter thinks that pensioners are the group who gets the least good deal from the state! You can't have a serious conversation either about shrinking the state or expanding the tax base from that starting point!

Mulligan has been drinking out of the people water all afternoon and we just found out

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

you call it diarrhoea I call it

Every single person in Britain: "the chippy" or, if we're being fancy, "the chip shop" The New York Times: "the french fry restaurant"

Deeply worrying sight in the corner of the office. Wondering if I can report it as an unattended item and get it blown up?

"Fancy a weekend in Newcastle?" "Yeah, great!" "Travel, accommodation, food and drink should cost us about £500." "OK, but what about the tourism tax?" "Puts it up to £505." "No chance we're paying that!"

happy thanksgiving #ffxiv #ff14

Happy Thanksgiving! I wrote something for everyone to discuss around the dinner table when the pie is passed around and everyone proposes specific measures to seize the wealth and break the anti-democratic power of the tech oligarchy.

I mean it is objectively hilarious that the media and government are trying to hype the OBR leak as a cybersecurity thing When any digital manager at a large institution could tell you in about ten minutes. Less if I knew what CMS it was.

The websites are not happy that people aren't leaking the Collision results lol

...

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves if they're still in power in 2029

Spot on. The terms of the plan 2 loan are utterly usurious. Notably the budget has not frozen just the threshold for repayments at a marginal rate of 9%, dragging more and more graduates into it, but it also freezes the interest of those loans which is as much as 6.2%! Which is ridiculous!!

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

One of my most enduring gripes. Politicians are told not to patronise voters. The most patronising approach is to nod along when they believe stuff that's not true, or encourage them

If you want some good news this morning, I showed my three boys the PM doing the six/seven thing and now they have all stopped doing it.
