Just in time for the sequel to come out I have finally started playing Hades, on my Switch 2. Never realised I would love a hack'n'slash so much.

This is a CAPTCHA I just got. I cannot believe this is the extent we have to go to these days to fool bots. I'm absolutely perplexed and I'm a human! (I think.)

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again...

'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsky.social · 4d

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

So - given it looks like a missing episodes recovery might genuinely be imminent, what's everyone hoping for?

I would personally love it if they were from stories with no or little representation in the archive. Marco Polo, The Massacre, Power of the Daleks etc.

I always think with Banksy that the art isn't the art, the art is in what happens next.

I'd put money on Banksy going through an R&D process to work out which paint would be best at leaving an impression after being washed off - this was always the plan.

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.
