Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference. “One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception. “The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

If you wondered how many of the major newsrooms covering the Pentagon would give in to Pete Hegseth and sign a new agreement if they wanted to maintain access, it looks like the answer is... none. So far. Via @status.news

Look I try not to doomsay or spread panic but this shit is truly and deeply Very Bad for every single trans person in America and unless everyone makes it their mission in life over the next few days to make sure that their reps know that shutting down the government is the correct option here.

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

Carter-Ruck might at some point have shown signs of contrition, apologising for what (at best) was a terrible mistake, and promising to take steps to avoid repeating it. Instead they tried to cover-up their misdeeds.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

The Kimmel video: "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

My second layout job for Chaosium. The character art by Lionel Marty is exquisite!

Just released: Over 200 manuscript marginalia inspired tokens by me covering the entirety of the Runequest Bestiary and Starter Set. Includes Dinosaurs, Crabs, and Animate Objects. www.chaosium.com/runequest-ad...

Over the weekend, the world's richest man appeared on screens in central London to call for a race war and for the UK government to be overthrown. No arrests were made in connection with that communication.

"Back when I was in college, I was a cool, virile twenty-two-year-old with washboard abs and a large group of friends. Students today would struggle to say the same, since I’m sixty-two, my kids hate me, and my doctor says I’m prediabetic."

Bride of Pendle made it to Copper Bestseller in 7 days and I've now got my first 5-star rating!

Keir Starmer tells his Cabinet that scenes of police under attack at a march "led by a convicted criminal and egged on by a foreign billionaire calling for violence" sent "a chill through the spines" of British people. Says UK in "the fight of our times" against "toxic division" and "we must win"

So … Donald Trump had dinner with Nick Fuentes who inspired Tyler Robinson who shot Charlie Kirk who supported Donald Trump. Bloody lefties.

I’m sure there’ll be corrections in equally prominent positions in each of these papers, yeah?

The thing is, not just is this not true (of current Reform intenders or especially their 2024 vote), but it's actually somewhat unusual in British politics to be the most popular party and have a support base as deviant from the median voter.

"You just can't improve on perfection"—so said RPG historian @shannonappelcline.bsky.social about Pendragon, in the influential collection Hobby Games: The 100 Best (2007). On the 40th anniversary of the first release of Pendragon, we're bringing back the original:

As some of you know, I have had a medical adventure this week. I hope to create the booklet towards the end of the month but will have to carefully work out how many copies I can bring to Dragonmeet. Here is the finished cover by Mark Smylie. #Glorantha

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

you know, a witness is someone with informatoin an informant, well, that has different implications

Gorn in Sixty Seconds

get why she had to go but irksome she lost her job to something quite complex and, let's be honest, reasonably minor in the grand scheme of things, when shadow cabinet members get to merrily hang out with Eddie Swastika without any repercussions

Nadine Dorries joins Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

It sounds like Spanish national airport operator AENA is very much over Ryanair and MOL. Haven’t seen something this… forthright in quite some time, and goodness me, forthright it is. www.aena.es/en/press/sta...
