This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

They just announced that Terra Invicta is launching out of early access in three weeks.

Ridiculously ambitious (and complex to play) grand strategy reinterpretation of XCom, by the team that made the Long War mods for XCom & Xcom 2.

After reading yet another piece about inheritance anxiety, I realised that I felt… none of it.

Not because I don’t care, but because when my estate is being taxed, I will be, by the very nature of my demise, be unavailable for comment.

There is a larger conversation though, and I have it below:

I wonder how much Ofcom’s failure to use even the limited powers it has against Twitter is based on concern that it would be quite revealing when Musk just ignores any ruling.

Zipcar is shutting down its UK operations, basically the only car club that worked in London. Massive kick to anyone who tries to live in capital without owning a car. Having been a customer for 17 years and used Zipvans to move house repeatedly, this is.... very bad! (Zipcar is owned by Avis)

Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.

My radical driving proposal is that cities shouldn’t just have LEZs, they should have size limits (commercial vehicles excepted) AND headlight brightness limits. Little cars with dimmer lights please.

One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:

One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing

And then you'll say. Wait a second.

The #OnlineSafetyAct breaks the internet, destroys online privacy, kills independent websites, wrecks accessibility, trains users to routinely bypass government blocks, and offers less protection to children than tools that are already freely available.

That the murder of Brianna Ghey has been so completely co-opted by the "ban kids from using phones" brigade sickens me to my fucking core. Whatever her killers were looking at it's undeniable that the landslide of transphobic propaganda in the media played a crucial role in their choice of victim.
