Edinburgh University cutting their only Queer Spaces course, a week after it started edinburghdot.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

I didn't take many pictures, but DICE Dundee was a hell of a thing: so many amazing people there

We're building a movement to fight back against the ultra-wealthy and protect our planet from the climate crisis. Be part of the movement. Join the Scottish Greens. 💚 greens.scot/join

Tickets for AdventureX, the narrative gaming expo in London, are still on sale for this November! www.adventurexpo.org

This Bill is only happening because of the Scottish Greens, who introduced it to ensure that rent controls and new rights for renters were at the heart of the legislation. nen.press/greens-will-...

This is a wonderful call to pretentiousness

Heading to Dundee tomorrow for the DICE Europe fringe event, some great looking talks, say 'Hi' if you see me!

We hear a lot about privatisation, but rarely are the numbers laid out so starkly: £193bn paid to shareholders and private equity firms, a £250 premium for every citizen. Only Russia, Hungary and the Czech Republic have shed public wealth faster than Britain www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I love this time of year: lion's-mane mushrooms, locally foraged in Scotland!

On Thursday there's a fringe event for DICE happening in Dundee. I'll be hosting a panel on developer survival and success with speakers from Double Fine, Vivrato and Keelworks. If any friends are going, please let me know so we can grab a coffee! ☕

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

It's welcome week and I'm on strike (again) over the University of Edinburgh's refusal to rule out compulsory redundancies. UoE has no deficit, but cuts of £90 million are already underway, damaging teaching, research, and the future of education at our university.

Striking today to stop jobs cuts at the University of Edinburgh. It is a manufactured crisis. There is no deficit. #stopmassredundancies

Played and loved the very first demo, so an instant pledge for me: can't wait to play the whole thing!

This is the freakiest carrot so far, still not quite sure why they all seem to get to 1cm deep and decide to get weird #gardening #harvest #CarrotWeirdness

Peaceful protest is not terrorism. It is a fundamental part of civic life, a way for ordinary people to hold power to account when other avenues are closed. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Ron Gilbert still loves adventure games - but says it's unlikely he'll make another traditional point'n'click like Monkey Island - though he DOES have ideas for a Thimbleweed Park prequel. Here's our chat about his new game, the rogue-like RPG Death By Scrolling: youtu.be/YULGsutCIM0?...

Nice to be in Brighton for the #BERA2025 conference, and showing people qualitative analysis with Quirkos!

Wow! @zackpolanski.bsky.social winning 84% of the vote is amazing, obviously, what a buoying moment, that a pro-trans, pro-Palestine, unashamedly socialist leader can not only win a leadership election but ALSO can cut through and be covered by our mainstream news channels.

Tickets going fast! Get yours now!

'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'

If you didn't manage to make it to GIGF25, this is an amazing slice of the day!

Together, we can cut household bills, tackle the climate crisis, and build a better Scotland. Be part of the movement. 💚

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

Game of the Year Award judges be like:

FYI: this is the second redundancy scheme in the last year. Edinburgh was the only university in Scotland to have an INCREASE in international students, and has billions of pounds of cash reserves. Mathieson also recently lost a vote of confidence from staff.

Kimchi in a toasted cheese sandwich is so wrong, but so, so good...

If this had been a computer game, there would have been media outrage and it would have been yanked months ago. Different rules for big companies with big lawyers and PR teams
