BBC television's Sherlock would make some pretty bad assumptions about me based on my front door lock.

Data centres make me want to apologise personally to William Blake for finding his 'dark satanic mills' line funny when I heard it as a kid. I'm sorry that 200 years later we're still finding ways to build things that destroy the environment, scar the landscape and exploit workers.

I get a bit self conscious that I don't really watch TV. It sounds like I'm being a snob, but I just don't have a slot in my very screens-focussed life when I... do that?

I'm trying to work out if beginning my house-buying search and then immediately buying a house identical to the one I've rented for eight years is the coward's way out, or absolute genius.

This museum was integrated into The Dark Rites of Arkham for several reasons. One was narrative: you’ll have to solve a puzzle there. Another was to give those unfamiliar with H.P. Lovecraft a quick introduction to his themes and obsessions. 🧵

Now look here. If you missed Wooden Overcoats: Rudyard on the Moon, then you can still stream it until the 20th! I reckon it was the best live show we've ever done, so have a gander at the trailer below to see some snippets! Undertakers + Moon = sitcom (hopefully)

I'm going to apologise right now for all Beekeeper's Picnic players. In the game if you try to submit an entire beehive frame to the competition (rather than processed honey in a jar), it's treated like a very silly idea, but this show genuinely does have a whole category for that.

I feel like I'm enough of a known Christmas Carol fan that I should give my two cents. Scrooge isn't an evil cackling villain who steals candy from babies. He's entirely above board. He's a businessman who pays his employee an average wage and doesn't keep him beyond his contracted hours.

Sometimes I remember about the coquette aesthetic Hound of the Baskervilles (From Wordworth Editions) I don't need to own it, but it makes me happy knowing it exists. I hope it has made lots of Gen Alpha teens who love soft feminine aesthetics and gothic horror very happy.

I've been begrudgingly trying to get into Instagram this year because alas, I make stuff and want more people to know about that stuff. On Insta people are fed videos that the algorithm thinks they might like. It is trained by how long they watch, and how soon they scroll away.
