For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.

It doesn’t matter if you pay for it—buying digital media only gives you the illusion of ownership. In an era of mass censorship and the erasure of history, physical media is king.

Make space for your favorite books. Especially if they’re on a ban list.

This is Bertie my #CockerSpaniel . His new favourite trick is to find sticks, carry them around and then leave them on the pavement on our road. So residents of Lords Way, this is why sticks are randomly appearing on the pavement 🐶

The Stop Killing Games petition got derailed by the change in UK government so there's now a new one to sign if you, like me, believe that your purchase of a product in the video-games space should mean you get to keep "playing" your games in perpetuity.

The speed at which corporations r ditching DEI proves they were never serious abt diversity, equity or inclusion. Those they sought to exclude were never meant to be included. Racism, misogyny & xenophobia - that’s their comfort zone, the settings they r familiar with & comfortable operating within.

#BookSky 💙📚 I have resolved to spend more time reading in 2025, starting with this book “A Devon night’s death” by Stephanie Austin. I am really enjoying it so far, particularly as I was born and live in #Devon so it’s great to read about familiar places.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
