This is fucking gross, right? An AI generated thumbnail of a guy upside down with a goofy expression *is how they choose to depict this very real story where a real man really died in that position* It's not just me, right, this is some sick shit? Fuck off, 'Mystery Expeditions'. #fuckai

Me: "Hey you know how whenever we're lead writers on Breaking the News, a government collapses or someone dies, or their career implodes?" @beakachu.bsky.social : "Yeah?" Me: "You don't think the Clacton by-election will coincide with our lead writing shift for the 6th of August do you?"

Good to see a classic @fightingfantasy.bsky.social as the centrepiece of @shetlandlibrary.bsky.social's summer display! Creature of Havoc too, what a belter.

Ah ya bastard, that's Paul Sneddon died. He was a really nice human being, and so fucking funny. I spent the night eating falafel with him and his family in a mews somewhere in the West End, the first night he spent there since inheriting it. Got lost trying to walk home, took hours. RIP Paul

Proposal: Glup Shitto campaign Play any #StarWars ttrp (let's say Edge of the Empire by @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social) BUT: For character gen you MUST bring an actual Star Wars action figure to the table, and make your character around that. Then use the action figures instead of minis.

I *cannot* believe we got such a storied actor to play the Warhound. He's been in fucking *Elden Ring*. Little John on BBC's Robin Hood. RED DWARF. And here he is cutting goblins in half and melting orcs for laughs. Get the latest episode listened to, it's got acting pedigree *and* goblin nudity.
