Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Today, The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin opens at AA Gallery in London! Curated by Sarah Shin and Harriet Jennings, the exhibition presents a selection of Ursula's maps, including some that have never been exhibited before.

A photo of the entrance to The Word for World exhibition, with two banners hanging vertically down outside the doorway to a brick building with white-paned windows. A row of bicycles are parked in front. The banners are purple and white and say the name of the exhibition and Ursula K. Le Guin's name.

A cord-wrapped rock rests on a vivid blue background next to a map of and program for The Word for World exhibition.

A stack of copies of The Word for World book, which shows the title in vivid blue against a black cloth cover.

It’s tradition that when you see the frogs, you show them respect 🫡

(Someone should do the Creed cut with the footage)

My friends and I have felt it for a long time. Alcohol is too expensive in pubs, and far *far* too cheap in supermarkets.

Fuelling alcoholism and killing pubs all in one.

I used to work for a company called GameTap, we were probably the first "Netflix for games," started around 2006. It didn't go well. I used to think the idea was ahead of its time, and maybe it was, but I also think times have changed and this no longer makes sense. 🧵

Hmm. Not sure what's up with a lot of otherwise attractive-looking TTRPG kickstarters deciding to not tell me much about the game, to the point I can't back it. Is the wisdom that if your wordcount is too big, you'll drive people away?

Failbetter Games - Wishlist Mandrake on Steam! @failbettergames.com · 17d

We're making Mandrake, a rural life sim set in a beguiling new world inspired by British history and folklore.

Now we're not in the Fallen London universe (Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies), we had the opportunity to add sunshine! And trees! 😮 🧵
