I'm sorry, what

Biggest weakness

Every day, in every way, they're getting closer and closer to calling YOU a life unworthy of life.

So Lee Anderson, who said Islamists have "got control" of Sadiq Khan, wants to close every food bank in the country, and is committed to bringing back the death penalty, has now been made Chairman of Reform UK

Over a year ago, I had a call with @duckvalentine.bsky.social talking about Dreams on a Pillow. At that time the article was killed by executives. She was brave enough to fight against that, but it was out of her control I chose not to talk about it publicly to protect Rebekah from what could happen

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

You need to watch the whole sketch, it's hilarious. In fact, you need to watch the entire Aunty Donna series on Netflix. Then check out their years worth of stuff on YouTube. Also see them live, and build a small shrine to the lads in your living room.

Me playing a videogame: I believe I will put all my points into stealth. Every boss in the game: There he is!

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

I've now seen a handful of people refer to some Food Discourse, but I haven't seen the Discourse itself. Putting a severe limit on the number of people I follow has benefits.

As my son wanted to see it for himself, I have now watched Madame Web two (2) times. No regrets.

Whenever I go to the grocery store, there's this one cashier who looks at my items and says "are you vegetarian?" and I say I am and he says "me too! That's so cool!" and we've had this exchange probably five times now. It is one of my favorite relationships.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

I've lost probably 80% of my work because I didn't PDF my shit and so many places I worked for dumped old reporting. Places you wouldn't even expect! NBC, Citypaper, LA Weekly, Zagat, etc so many "institutions" you think would keep all their archives. Nope!

you need this! Not just because I wrote the essay and interview, but because it’s one of the most thoughtful, resonating things I’ve played in an age! ✨

Be part of the change, allow people to tell their stories. Support @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social 's campaign to get his game produced ❤️

This headline is too gentle. Over a period of five years, British Gas had legalised goons *break into people's homes* and forcibly install prepayment meters. news.sky.com/story/britis...

This is what happens when there's historically low trust in the Presidents of the United States of America

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

The BDS boycott isn't going away until Microsoft divests from Israel or Israel stops trying to wipe out Palestine. So if you're tired of hearing about it, the best thing to do is get behind it so that more pressure can be put on Microsoft to do the right thing.

"I'd rather have easy puzzles than bad puzzles" is an all-timer of a game design quote, and one I wish more developers would take to heart.

The only discourse on Mixtape that's interesting is seeing how asymmetrical the conflict between press & influencers plays out - many influencers individually take shots at "the press" for clickbait & to solidify their own commercial relevance - while the press writes critique about the actual game.

Wes Streeting is of course the best assurance that none of them are going to come back

Here's a wee thread of free software I use when making videos and writing. Blender is the obvious one for 2D and 3D animation, but please tell me about other little apps that are cool. tldraw (tee ell dee raw?) is a simple whiteboarding tool, especially handy using a pen on a tablet. www.tldraw.com

I've always suspected that Hennig's version would've been much better than what we got, and the video (which I've admittedly jumped through) hasn't changed my mind. It certainly seems to have planned to keep the humour properly. www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

Important paragraph. This seems to me like cleaning up public image more than any serious step towards stopping support for Israel and until stated otherwise by BDS, the boycott should continue

Yearly reminder to boycott Eurovision.

One thing we are struggling with right now at MMORPG is daily editorial/feature content. So I'm looking for more MMO-specific writers who have strong opinions about their favorite game/the genre at large. Email in bio if that's you. RT's appreciated!

I think The Drama is the most movie written by a man I've ever seen.

We were told our data would stay under NHS control. But an internal document just revealed the truth: Palantir staff are being granted “unlimited access”. Join us demanding this spy-tech firm gets out of our NHS 👇 goodlaw.social/658abc

Sure the 90s internet had problems, but the good seemed to outweigh the bad. AI definitely has the potential for good, but the harm it's already doing far outweighs any good it could potentially do. And let's face it, the "good" stuff is not the reason billions of dollars are being thrown at it.

Turns out if you steal stories about evil AI to train your model, it teaches your model how to be an evil AI, who could've seen that coming.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

I felt the need to write something about Saros, and how I came to appreciate the depth of both the writing and Rahul Kohli's performance. *huge* spoilers. medium.com/@jimcrikey/s...

What policies were they voting for?

I'm at the point where I need to think two or three times before buying a game, even a relatively cheap one. I've been looking forward to Mixtape (looks pretty much custom made for me) and Wax Heads for aaages, but which to get? Do I have enough self control to resist both??

I think we should reward all these Reform councillors and their voters with a nice long cruise.

The strategy of rhetorically punching core supporters in the face going as predictable for the Labour Party

I know the leopards/face thing has been thrown around a million times, but the problem is that liberals just meme at one another instead of trying to point this out to the people who actually vote the fascists in. It's not like there isn't recent evidence to use, either; just look at Trump voters.

Happy 100, big man
