Can't believe #AdventureX is over. It's incredible that a new team, in a new venue, delivered such a brilliant event. There were wonderful talks & games bursting with creativity, but above all it meant meeting the most delightful & talented people in the nicest community imaginable. #AdvX25

Someone with "legitimate concerns about foreigners" just dropped this statistic on Facebook and I can't stop thinking about it.

Shabana Mahmood on the BBC this morning talking about desperate people fleeing war and persecution as being given a "golden ticket" and "handouts" and saying she's got a "moral mission" to take them away from them

I'm always fascinated by the race question in British forms. What's the point in making categories so narrow that even a plain white dude like me has to select "Other"?

Another fun live recording of @lateralcast.com. Some highbrow art history about Hans Holbein the Younger's 1533 painting The Ambassadors served on a bed of cock jokes. Don't get that mix anywhere else.

Stop what you're doing and book a trip to Torchdale's "Monster Mashers" in Belgium. Then don't read anything else about it so you don't get spoiled too much. It's an incredible >2 hour experience. My mind has blown. #EscapeRooms
