First the Bayeux Tapestry and now the plague. What next? A Jacobite rising?

I'm curious to see what they fix-up; graphics definitely (though they stack up alright), New Game+ which was on the original road map but stopped, if they introduce a character creator or expand cosmetic customisation options, tighten up combat/gadgets/perks/vehicles etc.

There was something compelling about building a resistance group and fighting tech companies, fascists para-military contractors and right wing anti-immigrant groups. It's not perfect, not even close, but they built a convincing world that I spent a really long time in.

Telling on myself here, but I just found out Ubisoft are releasing a director's cut of the universally panned Watch Dogs: Legion and I am very hyped for that? I didn't enjoy the first two, like at all, but absolutely loved Legion.

If I lose, Pitbull will eat my burger and throw my shoes in the canal. Doesn't matter if I say I really like the song he did with Jennifer Lopez.

My doorbell hasn’t worked in the year that I’ve lived here so I’m currently playing a game of “I hope my burger and my new shoes turn up at the same time so I don’t need to go downstairs twice” If I win, I get a burger and a new pair of Dr Martens that I got on sale

I am spending my day going through every single Friday edition of an English language newspaper in Paris between 1870 and 1880 to just get one single mention of one person. I spent the long weekend transcribing Victorian Crown Office documents and going through the French Daily Burial records.

I have been having a lovely time playing Skyrim again for the first time in like...6 years? With 3,700+ mods it's only been a somewhat janky experience.

I’m in Edinburgh today for some archive research and I’m really hoping I’m allowed to photograph the documents because I slept about 3 hours and I’m in no position to scrutinise Victorian handwriting.

In my 1st year history classes, there was a mature student who would manage to bring up the 1980s every week and he'd always, in a manner dripping with arseholishness, say "and, you weren't around for this, but" If only there were some field of study I could undertake for events I was not alive for

blandrew [they/them] @acuthberto.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I'm in Edinburgh on Friday at the National Records of Scotland if anybody fancies a wee lunch? I've managed to uncover three very important cases that might contain recorded testimony and even correspondence from one of the women I'm researching. It's just very exciting for me.

Oh, you thought histories of sex work were all corsets and brothels?? NO! Sometimes they are estates being resworn at £2,443, 6s 9d requiring a further affidavit under s.32 of the Customs and Inland Revenue Act 1881. Ok yes, it relates to a brothel, but in a legal document way.

blandrew [they/them] @acuthberto.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Another day of emailing archives in England and being like UwU whever further affidavits rewating to affidavit 8240 in IR27-483-3, under s.32 of the Customs and Inwand Wevenue Act 1881 survive anywhere as owiginal documents UwU

It only finished installing this morning so I've not had a chance to play it yet, but it'll probably run like dogshit and crash every five minutes, just like the good ol' days.

If so it’s very nice to hear the kids talk about final fantasy viii battle tactics so many years later

Pals I just heard the phrase “aura farming” on the bus and I don’t know what that is. Is that not in final fantasy viii where you let enemies knock yer pan in so you can use your limit break?

Weekend of history: GO. Off to a talk at Glasgow Uni about the historic pubs of Glasgow. Tomorrow: I will MAKE history as the first non-binary person to deliver two back to back history talks then immediately ruin their friend's birthday karaoke by turning up late and punching whoever has the mic.

Today we're bringing a vote to deliver a moratorium on hyperscale data centres in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament will have a simple choice. MSPs can stand with the communities they represent, protect our environment and our resources. Or they can fail to act.

Vote today. Scottish Greens force vote on haling hyperscale data centres.

I had this moment on the bus yesterday, where instead of being like "fuck sake am oan a bus" I was just...genuinely...kind of like...happy? And I realised I've been...pretty solid this past year, in a way I wasn't for a LONG time. Don't get me wrong, the world is fucked and we're all doomed BUT

As of May 2026, Police Scotland now ask every person who reports or witnesses a crime for data about their “sex” and their “trans status”. These questions are voluntary - you are not legally required to disclose your sex or your trans status to the police when reporting or witnessing a crime.

Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D Minor, op 47 also gets pretty metal. But no more metal than that.

Actually, while I have you, drop your favourite pieces of classical music below. It’s for my reading playlist so it can’t blow the arse off you. Like the bit where it all drops in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.2 is as metal as it can get. Xoxo
