It’s pretty nuts. Tom Watson’s very first intervention in his new job at spytech firm Palantir is to write a letter to his former colleague @labourlewis.bsky.social detailing all the times the firm has monitored his anti-Palantir activities

When I first moved to this village, some of my new neighbours complained that I, an outsider, got a council house for me and my 2 children. We were from the next village, a mile away.

Apparently Trump sourced the name Super Intelligence from a poll on Truth Social. He should have asked on on Bluesky. We could have voted for Terry McIntelface.

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

Fixed that story about Sir Jim Ratcliffe on the BBC.
Picture of man smiling with tea-mug. Headline reads: "Non-Billionaire who actually lives in the UK and pays its taxes says he has lost confidence in the super-rich", with sub-header: 'One of Britain's taxpayers says he has lost confidence in billionaires, describing them as "on the take"".

Has one of your player character's casual attitudes ever clashed hilariously with a serious campaign moment? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme
A meme with text at the top and a comic panel below. The top text reads: "When one of your PCs underestimates how serious the campaign is going to be:". The comic panel shows Batman in the rain, looking up dramatically, with a speech bubble that says: "THIS IS WHERE I WATCHED MY PARENTS DIE, RAPHAEL." Below Batman, only the head of a Ninja Turtle, Raphael, is visible, with a speech bubble saying: "COWABUMMER!"

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

Have you ever run a murder mystery in your campaign? How did it turn out? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme
A three-panel meme contrasting different character types solving murders:
  
- Top panel: 'Rogues solving murders:' shows cartoon detectives with magnifying glasses.

- Middle panel: 'Clerics solving murders:' shows a fantasy cleric casting a spell with a speech bubble: 'Welcome back! Who killed ya?'

- Bottom panel: My players solving murders: shows Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars saying, 'Well, of course I know him. He's me.'
