"Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people." Watching Dune Part 1, while writing an adventure for the Dune RPG, working title 'Death Under A Black Sun.'

Much love going out to Bruce Campbell. Here’s a terrific story about Sam Raimi trying to direct a difficult Gene Hackman on The Quick & The Dead set. Campbell is such a wonderful raconteur. youtu.be/DcYr-clpLSQ?...

March is up on the Lost Films of Hollywood calendar created by @christhebarker.bsky.social and @quantick.bsky.social . Love this one. 😊

The Firth of Lorn and the light of the Lismore Lighthouse in the distance, from Pulpit Hill in Oban a few years ago.

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

Happy De La Soul Day. Great set from Pos, Maseo and friends. Miss you Trugoy the Dove, aka Plug Two. youtu.be/5AVYDHTOixU?...

When we played The One Ring in-person yesterday, I got a wave of nostalgia when my mate who's house we were playing at got out the box of GBGs (Generic Bad Guys - a random selection of old monster minifigs) - still in the same cardboard box they’ve been in for decades. 😍

Happy St David's Day. Here's one of our favourite episodes, recorded in Wales in 2018. Episode 106 - In time the wren will come (51 mins) A stream burbles and birds sing in the spring sunshine. > bit.ly/LenCeri6

Great fun running Over Hill and Under Hill from The One Ring starter set this afternoon. I even wore my Ralph Bakshi tee. 😊

I dreamt I was running an ice cream van with Zack Polanski of the Green Party. Unsure what this means but I remember everyone was happy and we even had special ice cream for dogs that we served out of a lower window. I clearly watched too much news yesterday. 😅

27 February? That can only mean one thing. YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s 175 years to the day since George Merryweather gave a three-hour lecture to the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society about his leech barometer 🧵

"Peter! You've lost the news!"

"So shines a good deed in a weary world." Woke up to heartening news from just up the road from me. 😊

"Which king?" "WITCH KING?!!!" "No. Which king. Which one?" Great fun playing The One Ring this evening. 😊

Meta frees React to live in its own foundation

New: this app warns you if someone is wearing smart glasses nearby. Meta plans to add facial recognition to its Ray-Ban smart glasses. A 404 Media reader made this app after we showed men filming people w/o their consent, and DHS officials were wearing the glasses www.404media.co/this-app-war...

Somehow this became a lot more work than anticipated… all for an audience of about five people! It’s in my shop: www.infinitebacon.com/shop/p/silen...

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Oooh Motown Junk on Radio 6! Still my favourite Manics song. 🎸🎸🎸

fabulous day's time-travelling at @butserancientfarm.co.uk today but inevitably i now want to build miniature houses from mesolithic to saxon and stages in between, with bits n bobs n furniture all to suit

Found an old Christmas card from back when I used to design and print my own cards every year.

The Very British Hangover Scale

Goodnight.

Watching the Cowboy Bebop movie.

Me backing Dragonbane Trudvang on Kickstarter yesterday.

"List of animals by number of legs"

Watching Dune Part 1 again. That moment where House Atreides get piped off their ships on Arrakis still gives me goosebumps. Also great to see Daft Punk as members of the Imperial Court. 😂

I've submitted the Star Wars game I ran at Grogmeet for the next MORPCon. It's set several weeks before the events of Rogue One, so if you want to play a party of Partisans and Rebel Alliance agents, I'll see you on the Holy Moon of Jedha in March. 🙂

I'm hoping this establishment plays Zappa 24-7.

I took lots of photos at the Die Spitz gig tonight, but none of them do justice to the joyous mayhem of the evening.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

The Roman Pharos (lighthouse) at Dover, still standing after almost 2,000 years! 🤩 It is the tallest surviving Roman structure in Britain, and one of only three surviving lighthouses from the former Roman Empire! Dated 1st-2nd century AD. 📷 me #Archaeology

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake And a happy year of the whores to you all

I've learned so much listening to the BBC World Service. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Dad, you’re embarrassing me. Again.”

With the world feeling more and more like that of Jonathan E, I opted to wear this today.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I floated the idea of running The One Ring with my regular gaming group and with the character name suggestions so far I can already see it's going to be Carry On Up The Anduin. 😅

<Thin Lizzy voice:>

Part two of my Cthulhu Far From Rome campaign, this time with my regular Tuesday night group. So much fun was had we lost track of time. "Lucky the dog tries to save the hostage and leaps at the guard's throat!" "He's wearing armour, Lucky doesn't stand a chance!" (rolls dice)...

Today I am listening to all of Nine Inch Nails back catalogue while coding because that's where my brain is at. It reminds me of playing Quake. Currently in the first half of The Fragile. I forgot how powerful We're In This Together Now is. 😵‍💫
