Listen Ian I didn't come here to be bullied. At least not unless you have a red wig and an FBI badge.

"And our first task is to find the 9 Artefacts of Vulkan" "Right then Roboute, simple enough task, right? Read the book, find the 9 things, one of them's a spaceship even, it's massive" "Well you'd think so God-Emperor, let's start with Vulkan He'Stan..."

Jesus Christ. Just had the best fucking tacos I've ever had in London at some random stall in Balham

Photo of a foil-lined container holding 3 heavily-stuffed tacos with a slice of lime resting on top. There are plastic pots of sauce to the left and right.

Question for any wargaming or TTRPG mutuals I might have: I'm currently designing a TTRPG that involves dogfighting planes. Does anyone know where I could find a source of cheap airplane minatures approximately 1-2inches in size for test games/prototyping?

AEW's tribute shows are moving, beautiful and frequently some of the best pieces of television they do and I hope they never do another one again.

Putting my mouth on the pint glass to sip some of the beer so it's not too full to get back to my seat safely. Then doing the same on the polystyrene tray to slurp down some of the excess gravy and mushy peas.

This is what they actually meant with 'Hope Again'. Hope the next guy won't suck.

Certainly a possibility, but also Republicans have never really based their attack ads on what Democrats actually believe. If they'll call Chuck Schumer a dangerous socialist then it seems unlikely they'd back off anti-trans ads just because Gavin Newsom is a nasty, transphobic little worm

It's kind of fascinating how hermetically sealed the bubble is around this type of generic pop/stadium country. Like it does not register outside the States at ALL.

Is it going to be setting-specific, or is it a bit more flexible?

"The person who wished the Covid-conscious Massachusetts lesbian bar would get firebombed just had their husband answer the door to the Dominos guy with a gun" is a sentance I should not understand. It should remain a lacuna of forbidden knowledge. It should be a crime to tell me these things.

Hellthread was fun for like a day until you realised how seriously people were trying to get each others nudes in there and then it felt like being accidentally invited to an orgy

I ever tell you about my pitch that the next Danny McBride show should be about a Black Rifle Coffee-style tier-1 operator turned podcaster guy? Because... uhh... that.

Ok they know exactly what they're doing at this point

You can't fix that by pandering to weird transphobes and right-wing street gangs though.

Despite leaving an extra 50 minutes travel time for a 1 hour journey TfL have somehow still managed to make me late for my grandmothers funeral and I am absolutely incandescent

Ben @benbartlett.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Right?! How do I know at least 4 people who have pulled that off? It's statistically baffling

Ben @benbartlett.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I'll message you the details on that one. I didn't find out until long after I met her

I don't remember that one, but I DO remember 'In love with Tom Holland well before it was appropriate. Or legal.'

Pretty sure I can't give him money that he then uses to buy more slaves Sarah. You know, on account of him being dead and slavery being illegal. Do try to keep up.

Deus Vult Bins is such a powerfully British strain of political thought that it's almost irresponsible of you to post it where the Americans can see

also James Patterson collaborating with Mr Beast is the most ghost-written a book has ever been. They probably got this written a chapter at a time on fiverr

'Squid Games but what if the Front Man was a cool guy who wanted the games to be good for society by elevating individual greatness' is probably the most perfect distillation of Jimmy Beast's worldview.
