What if we played show tunes off tempo and with all the wrong instruments loudly enough to be heard for several miles? - the inventor of the marching band, consigning themselves to Hell

Yes! As much as I enjoy people's revulsion/fascination with beans on toast, black pudding etc, curry has been a part of my life, and British food culture, for as long as I can remember. (Also, right now, you can't move for "hot honey" in London restaurants. It's pissing out of the walls.)

Vangers is one of the weirdest games ever made - an alien racing game that is truly alien in its setting, logic and language - and you should play it if you haven't.

Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

This article is a really powerful insight into the changing definition / decline / corruption / corporate capture of AI research. This line particularly: "Modern AI products are not scientific achievements, they are, at best, engineering ones if not purely infrastructural ones."

Seeing the book in people's hands just doesn't get old. My own copy, meanwhile, has taken an unexpected 1300km detour to Tallahassee, Florida, according to the tracker. A place which is, by multiple measures, the exact opposite of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Gosh what a treat and a fitting surprise after returning from a seaside weekend away! This book looks like an absolute labour of love from @rossignol.bsky.social & @marshdavies.bsky.social. Well done chaps, my eye is totally not twitching at the decision to flip the spine text for book 2!

Hey, it’s me, your childhood friend from your idyllic hometown in this RPG. Let’s do some tutorial missions together. No, I’m not in any of the official art, but that probably doesn’t mean anything.

Despite reading and writing about this stuff for the last couple of years, I'm still amazed by new, horrifying details. All of which makes me angrier at the omission of this history in British schooling and the cultural milieu.

Massive congrats to @marshdavies.bsky.social and @rossignol.bsky.social on GOLD TEETH! Which I guess is out now, because I have it. The book's come out beautifully, and I'm a big fan of Marsh's decision to disembowel himself on page 44.
A big red pirate roleplaying hardback called GOLD TEETH. There's a skull and crossbones on it. Its teeth are gold.An illustration of a grotty little sailor getting disemboweled by a cannon. He looks surprised that this has happened to him, which is honestly out of character for Marsh.

People talk big about solar, but imo the field of innovation in which humanity has made the most progress is fermented milk drinks. Cherry flavoured kefir???? The 1990s could not have conceived the purchase of something so transcendental from an airport WH Smith.

I like the idea of an author plagued by solutions to other people's stories, but having no idea whose. Just constantly posting stuff like "If you're the one writing a cosy crime/romantasy hybrid, I've figured out why the centaurs wouldn't have seen Baron Darkhelm leaving the tower. Please DM me."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an exhausted detective leans over his desk with a spread of paperwork and folders. He says, “I’m in too deep. Where is the Spaghetti Man?” Panel 2: on a photograph littered among the evidence, a single small drop of marinara sauce drops with a “plip!” Panel 3: viewed from below, the detective examines the drop of sauce with his finger. Behind him, in a ceiling corner, a rotund chef with a mustache - presumably the Spaghetti Man - holds himself like a spider against the walls.

Reginald Brill had an indefatigable interest in the everyday lives of people, and they're often captured off-guard as in this work of an orange seller at Sudbury, Suffolk from around the mid-1950s.

Striking juxtaposition on BBC news of a presenter gleefully capering about a swooshing projected model of the Himalayas before cutting to video footage of literally dozens of people dying. Something has gone terribly wrong with that newsroom.
