I've put a play through of the Beginner's Guide on in this background while I do some boring numbers work and I am so fond of that game, and there are people who misunderstood it so badly I sometimes think about them when I can't sleep

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

An early start thanks to my totalitarian cat, and the weight of the world hangs astonishingly heavy on my shoulders

Maybe it's time to listen to the Lovecraft Investigations again. Yes, maybe it's that.

@gossjam.bsky.social Absolutely gutted by the end of Torchwood. There such good work in that range, and honestly in the weird COVID Lockdown times it was a bit of a lifeline. Salute.

Rewatching Rivals. Ridiculous how much entertainment and incident and excess they pack into each episode.

Imagine being able to say "the government's gone mad" about something different every day of the week and still glancing nervously across the ocean and feeling lucky because Keir Starmer hasn't instructed the Territorial Army to invade Newcastle

Gap in the law: a thing that is legal

Paul Brand @paulbrand.bsky.social · 4d

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.

This is hysterical, it's "The Devil Himself worries he'll be damaged by association with Starmer". But I'd put maybe 50p on it being a parting shit through the letterbox when, when it really came right down to it, they wouldn't sign away free data on the organ function of the nation's orphans

Palantir has pulled out of involvement with the UK Digital ID card, according to an interview with their UK CEO on Times Radio. They’re concerned about the reputational damage of being involved with an unpopular Starmer policy.

Reading some Deep Tolkien in a hot bath on a decidedly autumnal day, with the help of a robust single malt. It might get better than this but not without the intervention of trained professionals and a lottery win

How many damn surveys and enquiries have there been about this now? Do they just get to rerun it till they get the result they like?

Those tedious and mysteriously funded transphobes want to limit access to the Ponds so I’ve had a pleasant 10 mins filling this out on why seeing a variety of women is magic and judging by what people look like or can do is very slippery territory hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.isn
