Greg fails to mention that his Manifesto Games shop was the first online distributor to take a chance on my work. Back in 2006, absolutely NOBODY took me seriously, but he did. I’ve always been grateful for that.

We should make it illegal for MPs to use public toilets and changing rooms, and if you see someone you think might be an MP using one you can confront them, and they have to carry their Westminster pass and show it to you, and then you can kick them out. But, like, in a respectful supportive way.

Grandiloquent Word of the Day @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social · 23/05/2026
Hunkerousness [HUNG-ker-us-nes] (n.) - Old fogy-ism; political conservatism; an inexplicable opposition to compassion, kindness, progress, and equality.
A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Hunkerousness,” with the pronunciation “[HUNG-ker-us-nes]” beneath it. The definition reads: “(n.) 1. Old fogy-ism; political conservatism; an inexplicable opposition to compassion, kindness, progress, and equality.” Below the definition is an example sentence: “The xenophobic party cheered each fresh act of cruelty as its hunkerousness metastasized into a cult of personality surrounding a bloated demagogue who trafficked in suspicion, cruelty, and anti-intellectualism.” On the right side is a detailed Victorian-style woodcut illustration of two men in top hats standing beneath a decorative arched structure.

I can answer this! EARTH MUST DIE is about a dumbass authoritarian dictator, and the whole game is deeply, unashamedly anti-fascist in nature. The GOOD news is, if you're a fascist, most of the jokes will go over your head and you can just look at the pretty colours? 👍
Steam forum post for EARTH MUST DIE. The question is raised "Is this game political? or will I be able to enjoy it and escape from this dire reality for a moment?"

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.
Do not punish the behaviour you want to
see
I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right? But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort
to socialize, snarkily say, "So, you've decided to join us"? Or when someone does something they've had trouble doing, say, "Why
can't you do that all the time?" (Happened to me, too often.)
Or any sentence containing the word "finally". If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don't complain about how it's not enough. Don't
bring up previous stuff. Encourage it. Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that
success and failure are both punished.

Sometimes, I long for him
Comic strip by Stephen Collins, it begins with a nighttime city scene. In the next few panels, a mysterious figure, giant in the moonlight, walks towards us through the skyline. His feet echo "boom, boom" in the empty night.

A large title panel declares this character's name:

THE TW*T COLLECTOR. 

He stands, giant, unseen in the empty city night, wearing a big pointy hat on his head, and a sort of long smock. He is carrying a large sack in his hand. 

Slowly, he raises his arm, his arm extends, freakishly long, longer still, through the open window of a tower block. It reaches inside someone's home, and slowly withdraws, now clutching a protesting, terrified man. The man's wife comes to the window to watch his departure.

slowly, the giant raises the little man and inspectes him in his hand. After a pause, the man says "b-but I'm not a tw*t!" 

There is another pause, after which his wife, calmly from off screen, says "you are a  tw*t, dear".

The Tw*t Collector summarily throws the man in his bag, which we now see is full of screaming people and is labelled TW*TS, then stomps off into the distance, through the moonlit city.

Conservatives deciding that they have to destroy things which made life better for everyone is a symptom of some serious rot. It feels like an abject state of denial. They hate the present and can't imagine a better future. Perhaps they don't want there to be a future. Only a past to be resurrected.
