On a 4hr train ride in Sweden for reasons. But this train looks like it's from the 70s with just me on it & an old Swedish lady listening to weird folk spirituals & rousing speeches on her phone out loud. I don't know where this is. It's Get Out meets League of Gentlemen but in Swedish Brown panic

RIP 💔 But what weird movies to headline when Annie Hall is clearly her most famous role 🤔

Tonight's film is... Sense and Sensibility. The Ang Lee, Emma Thompson one. It's underappreciated in favour of P&P. I haven't seen it for ages...

Creative Assembly is looking for a Principal Narrative Designer. No affiliation. Just sharing the link... jobs.jobvite.com/creative-ass...

Started watching The Gilded Age with a friend because I thought she'd like it and now I'm 1.5 seasons deep in a full rewatch. This show is so much better than Downton. It has Harlem Renaissance, the industrial age, social mobility at the cusp of the modern age.

How are colds so trifling yet debilitating at the same time!? 🫠⁉️

The Greens coming out the gates with a message of hope and unity not division is everything rn 💚

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5). An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 (🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Tonight's film is... Saiyaara. It's been a while since I did some Indian cinema. Then the opening credits tell me Aditya Chopra and I'm like...

I love him so much 🙌🏽 Unapologetic 🔥🔥🔥

It's absolutely howling rain outside so today's matinee is... Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights (1998). My ongoing journey through as many adaptations as I can find. Robert Cavannagh and Orlay Brady, apparently 🤷🏾‍♀️

You haven't figured things out & that's fine. That's what 40s are for. Don't stay in bad/meh relationships because breaking up is messy or hard. Try things that scare you, they often lead to good changes. Invest in yourself i.e. that course, hobby, opportunity Start exercising now. This isn't old

Plot twist his game becomes really successful and her new love interest loves it. The real happy ending.

Watching a romcom where the woman's family think her boyfriend is a loser because he's an indie dev and they don't think that's a real job. So she dumps him. As if game dev isn't hard enough rn 🫠

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

Watched One Battle After Another last night - it's a landmark white film in that it casts top Hollywood white guy DiCaprio as a man loving a Black woman (huge) & raising a Black mixed race daughter. It does a decent job of the mixed race xp. But then...

Bats deserve poems 🦇

They've released the annual "Met Police revealed as racist and sexist" report and called it "shocking" and "revelations" but who is really shocked!!??? 🙄

Thanks to @backlisted.bsky.social I discovered Misty and when I googled Misty comics I found this academic book on Gothic comics for girls. Ordered it immediately. Give this show on forgotten books a go.

It's so invigorating to meet academics and clinicians to talk about our industries and share thoughts and hopes. This panel discussed how academics & experts can work with game devs. We both need to approach these moments as collaborations not limiting factors. Thank you @gamingthemind.bsky.social

Thanks so much for inviting me to speak at Gaming the Mind Conference. So many interesting speakers and an engaged audience. Long may this conference continue.

Not normally invested in this event but hoping he brings ALL the PR energy and doesn't bother speaking any English because he doesn't need them 🙌🏽

Today I'll mostly be talking about videogames at the Royal College of Psychiatrists @gamingthemind.bsky.social conference #BeforeIForget @3foldgames.bsky.social

Essential UK purchases...

Why has Heathrow made getting the right tube train out of there like a Half-Life level!?

You have a long weekend away booked and you're tired and really need it. Your body: how do you feel about having a cold this weekend?

So anyway, turns out plasma in menstrual blood can completely heal wounds in 24 hours. hudson.org.au/news/womb-to...

So apparently I'm on a cowboy kick. Playing RDR2 and I've watched almost all Western Netflix content. Now I'm on Yellowstone and totally invested. Things I didn't know about cowboys: They will punch anything, esp if it makes them feel emotions They wear cowboy hats with tuxedos

Yup. Your move Jimmy 👀

I worked on this very early on. Kudos to the team for all the hard work 🥳 Cool seeing fans excited 💙

Oh ffs

Today on BBC R4 Today the CEO who called "ai slop" critics "lazy Luddites" defends her company churning out ai podcasts. She also said if she'd known the historical context of Luddites she might not have used it. These are the "smart" people. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Some good advice below this question 👇🏽

Hi again! Are you a studio or individual looking to hire Narrative talent for your games project? Good news! This great big Starter Pack below is brimming with Game Writers & Narrative Designers who are looking for work right now! I hope it helps you find somebody really special 🥰💛

Tonight's film was... The Conjuring: Last Rites. I started watching the first one last night to prep but it was too creepy alone in my creaky flat. But I really enjoy the writing in these films and the conceit with the typed case report. I love that it's a procedural film series.

Keir Starmer falling over to sell UK ai to US companies is selling out the creative industries. Copyright laws need to protect creatives from theft of work to feed ai. The ongoing race to give even more power to big tech is depressing. www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/creativ...

My mood this morning was asking the internet about... everything and finding this video from Paul Mason... youtu.be/Z55AEOPYlYc?...

Looking at properties for sale in the UK and... why are all y'all's houses grey inside? Literally every house has grey carpet, grey walls, grey kitchen, grey furniture. And if it doesn't have carpet the laminate flooring is grey 😭 What's with the grey?

It's not rocket science but clearly Labour and the other lot fail to grasp the logic. Let asylum seekers work!!

So glad comics grew out of their brokeback era 🫠🙌🏽

Thanks to hipsters (remember them?) cleanshaven hasn't been a thing since like 2010 (sadly). How has NYT only just noticed?!

Tonight's film is... Wuthering Heights (1970). It's Timothy Dalton. I was skeptical but this seems to be a popular one. The candles are lit, the rain is tapping at the window let's go...

It's absolutely lashing rain tonight, so I might have to light candles and watch another Wuthering Heights adaptation...

Tonight's film is... Wuthering Heights (2009). It's the Tom Hardy one. Yes I am on a weird WH odyssey in response to that trailer. But it's actually interesting watching adaptations back to back So far Hardy is closer to the text. Rough and evil. Bad hair extensions though 😬

This afternoon's matinee is... Wuthering Heights (1939).

If we must reduce things to the marketing terms that spark generation wars, can we acknowledge that the elderly protesters currently being carried off in police wagons are Boomers.
