Declaring it law that people can't weigh in on politics without first reading at least 20 history books. If any of those are Jared Diamond, Niall Ferguson, or Tom Holland, make it 50.

It's abhorrent that, even in the UK—a country I have always been a citizen of, which I largely grew up in—I'm subject to a different set of laws than my peers by virtue of my ethnicity.
Anyway, if you want to understand more about citizenship stripping, instead of falling for authoritarian knee-jerk responses
I recommend a recent report from @runnymedetrust.bsky.social & @reprievehq.bsky.social that argues powerfully against this racist trend #r4today

The UK's biggest hunger strike since 1981 (yes, the Irish republican one) is ongoing and I've yet to see any real coverage of it. Anyway, if you're in #London, you could do worse than show up at Woolwich Crown Court or call your MP tomorrow.
This country refuses to learn, I swear.

Loved the "Mind Diver" demo, and I'm all for anything Raw Fury, whose principles (and games) I admire. Check this out.
Check out our new bundle together with Raw Fury! There are some interesting overlaps between Mind Diver and The Signifier, both in style and substance.
If investigation and near-scifi is your vibe, this is probably one of the best deals you can get your hands on right now.

I've been thinking a lot lately about Toni Morrison's take on why artists matter in bad times. It's good.

Because a "senior commander" was killed this afternoon, western media is talking about the related attack. Neither the last 400+ airstrikes nor the West Bank lynchings saw any traction, because the victims were merely civilians.
All of this is profoundly rotten. Free Palestine.

Hey, maybe violating a "fragile ceasefire" 400+ times isn't actually a ceasefire, just a slaughterhouse with branding to draw people's attention away?

The "Darkside Detective" games are genuine classics; laugh-out-loud funny with kindness at their core.
*And* the devs and publisher are really lovely, thoughtful people.
I couldn't be more excited for a game announcement. Please get these games! I promise you they're great.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
