Wow, telling your friends and family that you've been referred for an adult autism assessment sure is a great way to find out that most of your friends and family have thought you were autistic your whole life and never mentioned it

Hey, so, is anyone building these AI models and confidently stating they'll replace vast swathes of jobs across the globe actually thinking and/or talking about how the fuck humanity proceeds from there? Fuck it I'm threading this, because I've been triggered

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

If a screenwriter put this in a movie or TV show, everyone would say that the symbolism was outrageously on the nose. Cannot believe this is real life

When I woke up this morning I had no idea one of the highlights of my day would be @rahulkohli13.bsky.social coining the phrase "pallette Nurgle" but here we are I guess

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

"Look Ma, I'm a real journalist!" Also, the military industrial complex is absolutely bananas

This is so beautiful.

DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT, NOTIFICATIONS, JESUS CHRIST

I'd heard that "something big" was coming, but I severely underestimated what "big" meant And it turns out that the team at Captivate are just utterly determined to become the absolute best podcast hosting service out there. I already recommend them to everyone anyway, but now it will happen more

Ok this Warhammer painting thing is fun as hell. Anyone want me to paint their army for them? I just want to paint and buying enough for myself would be... Uh... Financially unwise

If you're on the fence about having kids, just remember there is nothing that can compare with snuggling a tiny little cuddly bundle as it absent mindedly and repeatedly heel kicks you in the crotch

Yo @rahulkohli13.bsky.social , I know you're all about the 4k fidelity, but how about some love for this retro set mockup?

Hooray, it's new @dennisetaylor.bsky.social and @realrayporter.bsky.social audiobook day! Thanks chaps, that's the soundtrack to today's work sorted

Help! I've been convinced to get into Warhammer and I'm really enjoying it! What do I do?! Someone save me!!!

If you enjoy unexpected dark humour, I present, for your consideration: My wife, reading a book to the baby that has buttons to play ocean animal sounds in a sing song voice: "What can you hear under the sea? You can hear Titan Imploding!" Never been more proud of her

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I hope everyone who has got a shiny new Switch 2 is having lots of fun with it. I'm jealous. What's annoying is I wasn't fussed at all until other people have the shiny new toy and now I want one. I shall console (ha) myself by watching Predator: Killer of Killers instead

Well that's my "I'm working but really I'm watching something" sorted for tomorrow morning

O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.

The one day I don't check Blue sky, and when I spent a large portion of it doing my tax return, there's a demo for the game I'm most excited about. Typical

You should absolutely please subscribe to Danny's show, whether or not you want to find out about my habits in the shower... When he says 5 random questions, he means it

If you like cool nerdy stuff, you should have a quick look at VCR.zone and thank me later

I'm sleep deprived and a bit delirious, so I'm going to do a very un-British thing and publicly thank @foldablehuman.bsky.social and @mikeyface.bsky.social for providing me with my YouTube comfort viewing playlist while I work today. If you don't know them, watch them. If you do, watch them again

Excellent, some good news, marvellous

“ A truth is dawning: that this will be remembered as one of history’s great crimes. Right now, the UN warns that 14,000 babies could perish in the next 48 hours without aid. “ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Anyone I know on here going to be in London Wednesday or Thursday? Either at The Podcast Show or just, you know, generally, because I'm curious

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Me, thinking about big stately homes in the abstract: Awful, hate it, grandiose displays of wealth, all this space that could be shared freely, benefit of colonialism Me, at a stately home on a beautiful day the morning after a wedding: All of the above still, but it is pretty

I played a hyper real, immersive real-world version of power wash simulator today Meaning I paid to use a pressure washing station to clean my disgraceful car. It's harder work than the game, but just as fun! In other adventures in cleanliness, the baby just escaped his nappy pooped on the floor

Please enjoy me whittering on at Harley about all things Independent Podcast Awards! Harley is a fantastic interviewer and just generally a great dude to have a chat with; support his show and give it a listen!

“Yippee ki-yay…” We are excited to tell everyone that Westminster Council decided on May 1st that the Prince Charles Cinema would be included in the list of Assets of Community Value maintained by the Council under section 87 of the Localism Act 2011.

Ugh Ok FINE I guess I'll pre-order the next audiobook from my favourite writer/narrator combo. If I have to. Begrudgingly.

It's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things with the state of the world right now, but how on earth did we arrive at a system where it's cheaper to get an Airbnb with a parking space in London than it is to get the train?!

I've discovered the absolute joy of naming characters after people in a script. To be clear, it'll only be for good things, I'm not using it to put folks on blast, but future listeners should be ready for lots of incidental characters named after podcasters and audiobook narrators

Now, I studied theatre, I worked as a professional actor. I know who Chekhov is in reference to literary/fictional guns. So WHY was my first thought "why would the Russian guy in the original crew of the USS Enterprise be so worked up about that?"

I love and support this idea wholeheartedly

Something big coming SOON from the Pratchett archives for the Genre Creators for Trans Rights in the UK and SA auction.

Please send thoughts and prayers for me, a man in his late 30s with arthritis and a bad back, forced to choose between buying a new lawnmower to replace the one that just died, or trying to give the lawn a haircut with a hedge trimmer. I made my choice. My wallet is happy. My back is not

Scientists: "We need to reduce our carbon emissions now, before it's too late" Government: "what if we just pollute the world MORE to reflect sunlight back into space?" Scientists: "No let's not do that, at all, please, that could go wrong for so many reasons" Govt: futurism.com/scientists-p...

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Fascinating, and making me want to go see it even more. I can't because I have two young children, but at this point I want to just buy a ticket even if I can't go, just to support it. END THE EXECS!

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

TRON: Catalyst - Archive/01 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwR6... Beautiful work from the team on this.. and many more peeks to come as we approach release, time to unpack what this game is.

Something weird has happened with my online experience lately; I'm getting SO MANY ads saying "we're looking for heartbroken men who want to get in shape with a navy seal challenge" I am overweight, but what have I done to make the algorithm think I'm heartbroken?!
