2026 is my tenth year writing for GQ. Death comes for us all.

My love, support and condolences to Pat Dane’s family and closest friends. He will be greatly missed 🖤

Horrible news. RIP

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

Hello, i’m trying to raise as much funding as I can to help my little sister get endometriosis surgery because it’s crippling her life, and will continue to do so. If you have any small amount you can spare, I cannot begin to tell you how thankful we’ll be ♥️♥️♥️ gofund.me/c1ba6beba

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

AI booster unable to imagine something? No, surely not?

IZ CHRISTMAS BABY

Zarah’s utopia removes any direct accountability and shares it among such large groups that it would be chaos. I have friend groups of 6 that can’t decide where to meet for dinner unless someone takes the lead. The idea of running a first world economy that way is bonkers.

The ROG Ally might have the worse user experience of any console I have ever used. I would may go as far as saying the worst of any tech product I’ve used. Just abysmal.

Clair Obscur having the most Game Award nominations ever is our La La Land @ 2017 Oscars. A perfectly great thing (I love LLL!) that made people go insane.

Motherfucker got Letterboxd. Pope in the Criterion Closet.

I still use the long-discontinued Steam Link streaming device every week. Not many people know that about me. *pause for gasps*

I guess I need to apologize to the writers of Alien: Prometheus. it turns out scientists really do touch everything like that

I spent an afternoon with Miles Jacobson to talk about building (and cancelling) Football Manager over a more than 30 year career. www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/foot...

I have a lot of time for Miles Jacobson. He was incredibly generous and kind with me when I was just starting out in the industry, even though I'm not really a football person. He's just a good bloke.

We used to be a country

Big day! Here's the thing I've been working on for the past few months.

Took a photo of a new jacket and it made me look like a force ghost.

PlayStation: The First 30 Years book up for preorder at Read Only Memory (Deluxe $325, Standard $125) buff.ly/UnC8Lrf Deluxe Edition limited to 1994 copies More details: buff.ly/PjBiUwt

PlayStation: The First 30 Years ➡️ blog.playstation.com/2025/09/29/c... Sony is releasing a new photography book with "never-before-seen prototypes, concept sketches, and design models that shaped hardware development at Sony Interactive Entertainment" - coming Spring 2026.

Quite crazy and proud to say I’ve spent the last few months working on writing this. It’s very cool.

you’re telling me this entire Siberian Orchestra is trans?

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.

this exists it is called thinking

Game devs: your office is maybe the most boring place on Earth to speak to someone.

Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

Stunning piece. A horror movie of sorts. Will be familiar to anyone on the left trying to navigate the centrist American legacy media, albeit made all the more difficult when your bosses and colleagues all assume your people are by default murderous barbarians. bidoun.org/articles/hou...

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall. It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Hey, are you games PR with some Switch 1 codes to burn? My neighbor's kid turns 12 this month and long story short, has had a rough year! Grandma (helped raise him since mom is single) passed away, he's helping mom with disabilities, etc. But he's a great kid. Looking to surprise him with some games

The greatest minds in history are on the case

Can someone just come and play Silksong for me. I’ll watch. I’ll just watch.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

The amazing thing about video games is that they can really let you express a different side of yourself, something that perhaps you couldn't or wouldn't reveal in the real world

Excellent response from Hasan Piker, who was scheduled to debate Charlie Kirk in two weeks. On his stream he said: “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.” Also talked about his own vulnerability

nobody should die like that and guns are still the fucking problem

The shooting of Charlie Kirk will have almost exclusively extremely negative consequences for American society in general, the stability of society in specific, and the safety of everyone living in it.
