Just found this in my kitchen…

A gingerbread man poking out of a paper bag, on which is written: “Max, release me from the pain of this life, consume me utterly, love M.R. Gingerbreadman”

I’ve been shortlisted for Independent Editor of the year at the BSME Awards! What lovely news for a rainy humpday.

Last night I dreamed I was the new Joker (IRL, not in a movie). The details are vague, but it did involve wearing a little yellow dress and saying the line, “What’s the equivalent of ‘feeling peckish’ for needing to urinate?” Look, it sure beat my usual ‘needing to get somewhere’ anxiety dreams.

Is it just me, or has Connections turned really nasty recently? Like, deliberately moving past “here’s a fun, challenging puzzle for you” into full-on, “ha, fuck you!” territory?

I can't always afford to get these, but I love that there's a physical magazine for board games that approaches them as a real art form. It inspires me every time I see the new issue.

Tim Curry was one of the first actors to impress me with their versatility, mainly because he played Wadsworth in Clue and Darkness in Legend, both in the same year, and I watched the hell out of both those movies as a kid. RIP.

Damn. I thought if anyone was actually immortal, it was Dolly. What an amazing human being, what an admirable legacy.

@theoldkingscrown.bsky.social Why is it I find The Uprising so fun to play, yet I never win with them? I guess I just enjoy the flavour of disruption more than the taste victory…?

I bought a pile of great games to play while on holiday (Azul, Courtisans, Greylune, The Old King’s Crown). The holiday home had a few games of its own. So here’s what we’re now playing…

Just watching Logan Lucky on Sky. There’s a scene in which a group of rioting prisoners demand that The Winds Of Winter be added to the prison library, only to be told that George R.R. Martin hadn’t finished writing it. He still hasn’t. Logan Lucky came out in 2017.

Very much agree with this - I saw The Mad King earlier this week, and was blown away. Astonishing stagecraft, and a great way to tell the prequel story we’ve waited years to see.

Since childhood, I’ve always wanted to see a big, proper movie version of The Odyssey (I’d even have taken a sequel to Troy starring Sean Bean). Today, my favourite filmmaker finally delivered that, making it so much more thoughtful, interesting and devastating than the best version I’d imagined.

Today Clan Jolin is going out on its first full family trip in well over a year. And it’s to see The Odyssey.
