I feel like this is the most judgemental way they could have recorded this information.

One of the data points Amazon has collected about me. The item reads "product preferences - consistent replenishment of hand sanitiser".

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Anyone who says they have "no regrets" shouldn't be trusted. Any reasonable person occasionally reflects on their life, people they may have hurt along the way and things they might have done better. It's how we grow as people.

Kemi Badenoch saying people earning a million pounds a year shouldn't be punished for working hard, and in all my years on this earth I don't think I've ever been so naïve as to think people getting that much money are working hard.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

I guarantee you AI won’t kill us all. The claim’s a projection of reckless rich buffoons who can’t wait to be the only humans alive, openly fantasizing about a cull. Again. I’ve never been scared of AI, but the megalomaniacs forcing it on us are terrifying. I can’t guarantee they won’t kill us all.

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

There are NOT machine-made clothes. If there were, your clothes would be made in the country you live in (where the customers are), or in China (where machines are cheap). They’re made in Bangladesh or India or Indonesia because that’s where the LABOUR is cheap. Your clothes are made by people.

Joyce Carol Oates says: “This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to
different consumers.“

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

You could show more confidence as a country by putting AI nowhere near centre stage, and shouting that you won’t be taken in. That’s a confident move. Just like you would magic beans, or a perpetual motion machine, or Bagpuss’ Mouse Mill with the chocolate biscuits.

S.Peggie loses on every point apart from the administrative failures of NHS systems. GC lawyers have wasted NHS time and resources for a vanity project with net-zero result for them or Peggie. The aim is never to win legally but use the story to lobby politically through media.

The whole point of humans as a sociable, tribal species is we should eject people like this, so they starve in the wilderness alone. There are consequences to sociopathic behaviour. Somehow the abstract idea of money has short circuited our basic evolutionary safeguards.

This is not true. Only a handful of Nazis were hanged for their crimes and the Nuremberg Trials wrapped up because the governments lost interest. This is why postwar Nazis quickly reestablished far right parties across Europe in the 1940s and 1950s. Including in Germany and Austria.

Death Cab for Cutie in Bristol were brilliant. Literally one of my absolute favourite bands since comprehensive school, and still sounding great.

A picture of indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie playing at The Prospect in Bristol. The shot was taken over the heads of a bunch of the audience, but does show all five members on stage (as well as a couple of sound guys off to the left). The lighting is a dynamic mix of sea greens and white beams.
