Unpopular opinion: If your vox pop is just wrong, maybe don't publish it?

What a treat to meet @darmato.bsky.social at #AdventureX! But what do you ask Guybrush Threepwood incarnate when you get the chance?

Anyway, I now know where to get the best schnitzel in Phoenix, AZ. Thanks Dominic!

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

What's better than @robbotron.bsky.social's cult comedy show The Dark Room? It's The Dark Room with a BSL interpreter! #AdvX25 #AdvXConf

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

Imagine population growth drops very slightly below 0 this year and suddenly net migration accounts for -5,000% of the population growth...

BBC News be like:

* Country X devastated by even more bombs
* Escalating tariffs: Is the world economy about to crash?
* Shock on Celebrity Traitors as someone's wife has a hiccough

Far-right rhetoric and far-right policies from a Labour government. This will win over 0 Reform supporters.

I'll make sure my local MP knows they lost yet another vote.
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

Indistinguishable from the rhetoric of Reform www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/shabana-ma...
Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion
Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

You wouldn't steal a car. But you would watch this great documentary about how you wouldn't steal a car. youtu.be/Fi0yWWEdfxQ
No one knows who made this anti-piracy ad (until now)

I don't know @castpixel.bsky.social but their art is always a delight on my timeline.
Senior illustrator, with 20 years of experience and a specialty in game art.

I haven't been able to find a paying project for months. Can you help? Every share is appreciated.

This is good advice by the way.

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.

Lovely to get together again for an #EscapeRoom in London. Slightly easier to get to than the Belgian countryside...

I would buy a management sim about tax law from Size Five Games but this looks like an incredible lineup even for normal people.

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

Met some of my favourite YouTubers at DASH this weekend. #CrackingTheCryptic

It's me on a hill in a silly outfit - must be DASH again. #playdash #dash12

Had a fantastic day helping to run the London edition again. Lots of great people & great puzzles, thanks to everybody involved!

Knives Out 3 isn't out yet so I watched The Residence instead. Loved it! Can recommend. #whodunit
