The seventh circle of hell requires an Adobe Acrobat install

I will die on the hill that Lost wrapped up pretty much all of its story pretty neatly, and that a significant proportion of the people who watched it didn't understand the ending.

All endings reached in Silksong 🙌 96% completion, happy to call it there without turning it into a grind for items. Such a fun time with it - thought I was starting to be aged out of ‘tough’ games, but loved it.

Godzilla vs Biollante (1989)

Just got round to reading @mattthr.bsky.social ‘s piece on Lovecraft in boardgames for @senetmagazine.bsky.social and it was excellently done. Senet keeps on being such a great place for long-form pieces like this.

Second Silksong ending achieved 🙌 🐙

Alright, world feels particularly insane at the moment

Our chief executive took to the stage at the #StandUpToRacism demonstration on 13 September to make it clear that the fight for racial justice, for climate justice and for economic justice is one and the same. And it’s a fight we can only win together. @standuptoracismuk.bsky.social

AI apologists sounding like they’re going to keep smoking whilst the government works on making cigarettes healthy.

it's not gender activism, it's transphobia and bigotry it's not gender activism, it's transphobia and bigotry it's not gender activism, it's transphobia and bigotry it's not gender activism, it's transphobia and bigotry it's not gender activism, it's transphobia and bigotry

I moved to Bristol last month and it’s hard to stress how magical a place it feels. So may unique sights around it all. You turn a corner and could be in a completely difference city, a rural town, a European village. Such a beautiful city.

Free Palestine

For my running friends - Runna or Coopah? Want to try one out ahead of a couple of races, anyone have any good experience with either?

If there is 'a widespread perception among much of the public' that egg-stealing goblins hide in their attic you don't address their 'legitimate concerns' by declaring a war on attic goblins, you point out loudly & confidently the truth: that their beliefs are insane, propagated by nasty crackpots.

Low-traffic neighbourhoods likely to fail because of how passionate the right are about their freedom to drive over children with Land Rovers.

The 15th century farmhand steps through the portal. In wonder, he gazes around the lab as I attach an Apple Watch to his wrist. He stares at the delicate machine. With a tapping sensation his wrist buzzes and lets him know that his latest Nectar offers can be unlocked right now directly on the app.

Think my life can be life can be neatly divided into the time before and the time after I first saw this live version of Dead Cowboy by Lightning Bolt

Websites with their own scroll rules deserve a special place in hell

I was predicting a new Joanna Newsom album out this year but maybe she should sit things out for a couple more years maybe

'Immigration doesn't bother me but it seems to bother everyone else' – Everyone. This is what happens when the media runs away with Hard Right narratives.

The latest news out of Gaza is just harrowing. Hard not to see complicity everywhere, from governments, businesses, globally.

Farmers in the West Bank are denied water, while Israeli settlers nearby get it freely. This video from PENGON, Friends of the Earth Palestine, shows how Mekorot drains Palestinian resources and leaves Al-Hadidiya surviving on less than 20 litres a day.

The age verification @discord.com uses is really fun: tells you to remove your glasses, then read instructions on screen… move close to read what it says? It says to move back… Great.

If you pick Hölderin for a list like this and don’t include Rilke then you and I do not share the same earth under our feet

Thinking about the bands you listened to non-stop for a couple of years when you were younger, made them into a significant part of your personality and now can’t remember when you last listened to them. Last time I listened to a Guns N’ Roses or Green Day song all the way through? No idea.

The world is full of worthwhile people to admire, for those with eyes to see

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

One of my least favourite online bits is when a company starts to hire people outside of the founders and the new people will appear in videos but the founders will make jokes about firing them

A local councillor has just been at my door asking me to remove pictures of my grandma’s funeral from my phone so that Grok has enough water to objectify more women

Me when my skeet gets a single like: this website finally has legs, it’s going to go the distance

Moving house for the little dog has tired her all out, bless her

Moved house today - still some bits to move from the old place and loads to sort at the new one, but I’m looking around my new place and I just love how homely it feels already.

If your podcast is exclusive to a platform it is not a podcast.

Accidentally virtue signalled earlier by thanking someone for holding a door open for me, really frustrating

Time out from what? Playing golf?

“Don’t speak ill of the dead” was a lie made up by ill people

Interesting idea: *shade* as a natural resource that is being privatized in the era of climate change.

I’ve carried very few mementos of my time working at Sony Music (due to the horrors) - about to move house and so many finally give this one up too (rescued from a bin by the printers in 2014).

they’re playing Regina Spektor over the speakers in Morrisons - it’s over for her

🚨 The clock is ticking... It’s 100 days before the UK government must deliver a new climate plan. With the Met Office saying that extreme weather is now the UK’s new normal, we can’t afford any more weak promises from those in power. And we’re not the only ones who agree...

Worries me a bit just how many times I see the ‘obviously it was a staged assassination attempt’ pop up on my feeds

We believe that the UK’s climate adaptation plans are not only inadequate, they also breach the human rights of individuals within ‘at risk’ groups, such as older and disabled people. That's why we're taking our fight to the European Court of Human Rights. www.sustainabletimes.co.uk/post/legal-a...

The only way I think we could get more people to leave X at this stage is if I went back and started posting there again

activating an activist network today to head down to local bookstores to move all raynor winn books to fiction shelves

Planning to watch that Beatles Get Back documentary with the respect it deserves today - whilst playing Unicorn Overlord

Just met up with a friend, Rosetta, who, although talking to me in a language I don’t know, was quite clearly disparaging me in a way I understood. Yes, I didn’t like Rosetta’s tone.

hey siri, find me a perfect metaphor

as prime minister, one of my first acts would be to remove all bird spikes from the tops of buildings, train stations and awnings and to put them all on the floor of the london stock exchange.
