The Dune RPG is an incredible design, one of the most dramatic I’ve played - switching the focus between a tense argument in court to the pitched war going on outside, without having to understand totally different rule sets for each, is incredible.

In a post promoting the British Army and their actions, Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, actually used footage of Bloody Sunday. There are no words.

Always liked Bottas, and this is a beautiful, heartfelt piece. Vital reading.

More coverage of Nigel Farage claiming someone firebombed his empty house last year than of a packed LGBTQ+ club being actually firebombed a few days ago.

At some point I’m going to be able to retain the information that the Soft Cell-based SOS is by Rihanna, and not Sugababes. Not yet, though. Just sounds so much like a logical continuation of the ideas behind Freak Like Me.

Ooooooh, CAR T-cell therapy is cool as shit in theory, and it's fucking dope that they've now got it saving lives Basically, they manually reprogram your own immune cells to attack your cancer cells - essentially, your body then fights the cancer like it's a bacterial infection

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

"The Maga? I've shit 'em!".

I've just been informed that the actor who was hired to play John Landis in the Michael Jackson movie left the part because he was concerned about on set safety

These sausages don't bend

Beyond surreal for a *Green* party to be advocating for fossil fuel subsidies that would directly harm the poorest people in the world.

Can I just point out there has been report after report of the culture of bullying, intimidation and sexual harassment [MPs & staff] at Westminster and more than one has pointed to the availability of alcohol and drinking culture as a factor and ive not seen the Discourse touch on that once today

I know that it’s part of the deal with some companies that Channel 4 need to still serve a minimal number of promos with shows on the “ad-free” tier. I know. But four episodes into the Bergerac reboot, and literally every advert has been for… The Bergerac reboot. How is this helpful?

The state of this.

i know it's the least important thing about any of this but describing someone making a game in any capacity as a 'self-described indie game developer' is about the harshest burn i can imagine

Maeving RM1S e-bike in S5E4 of For All Mindkind maeving.com/en-gb/pages/... #EVonTV

For All Mankind, S5E4: fuck me, Maeving make a sexy motorbike.

An expert opinion that the scam reported by the BBC wouldn’t work, and so was a scam on applicants not the system, seems like important context

sorry

Not to be a broken record, but why on earth is Ed Balls there interviewing his wife's work colleagues about a scandal involving the government department she currently runs?

SOLD

Here’s some of the senior officials that Starmer has sacked. Just trying to work out what seems to be the problem here. open.substack.com/pub/arthursn...

You'll only drive it underground.

Saw talk of blocklists, went to clearsky out of curiosity to see if I’m on any. Impressive.

God, I forgot how much I love this.

Can't think of anything funny to say about this. Mahmood's repeated weaponisation of racism to defend her racist policies might be the most immoral thing a minister has done since Osborne's Philpott comments

Browsing the 2026 Proms lineup, and the Paraorchestra are doing 18 Musicians! In Bristol. Still, people near enough : GO (I’m already hoping to go to the Barbican’s one later in the year, so managing both could be a challenge to logistics)

I was already not planning on seeing Doomsday in the cinema, because it’s up against Dune Part 3. But apparently I’ll also find it incomprehensible on account of not rewatching Endgame for some George Lucas bullshit rewrite.

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!! Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on! I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

Live from Starmers address to Parliament

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

Universal healthcare turns out to be good for business.

This is the Palantir that Streeting is trying to embed in our NHS.

Did anyone actually see the 30th anniversary release of Elfman’s Mission: Impossible score for #RSD #RecordStoreDay? I couldn’t get it, and all the scalpers on Discogs are from France and Germany, so I’m wondering if it made it across the channel in time. Some titles have wandered in a week late.

Worth it for the picture rounds alone

Wow. Two lots of my favourite music people I didn’t expect to see together.

You know what’s really annoying? The three seconds of the proper BBC News website you’re allowed to see, before the system detects you’re on holiday and replaces it with the terrible international version, that assumes you want international news and all the scammy adverts you can see.

It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺

This is a great deal and one the best RPG systems I've ever played.

A re-upping of Ian Martin’s description of Trump as Antichrist Liberace. The best I’ve heard in some time.

So if Disney have sacked their entire Marvel Visual Development team and their entire Home Entertainment division, their plan for making money from releasing new films going forward is what, exactly?

I feel ‘serving kings’ is a rather charitable description of the activities of the best-known Thane of Cawdor.

Oh here it is, I knew I remembered this from before

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

Seems a good day to remember that, in his book An Intelligent Person's Guide To Modern Culture, Hungary's favourite right-wing thinker Roger Scruton implied that the Pet Shop Boys made a 'minimal contribution' to their own records. They successfully sued him for libel. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/enterta...

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

was once New Amsterdam.

However incompetent you think the Home Office are, there is always another level that they can reach.
