“news organisations should treat his affront as an invitation to disband the pool and the White House Correspondents’ Association” Great piece. Gift link, but it’s the Economist so YMMV.

Abolish the White House press corps

With his spitefulness to the press, Donald Trump is giving it the chance to reform how it covers the presidency

Really enjoying trying to figure out what’s going on in #attackontitan. Currently at the start of season 3 and the way things have suddenly got much more political reminds me of Babylon 5. Parsing the credit sequences for clues is a lot of fun. My daughter is laughing at my theories! 😀

Really enjoyed this. Straightforward, easy-to-read, comprehensive history of the French Revolution. Recommend this over Schama’s “Citizens” if you have no prior knowledge of the period. Or go listen to the Rest Is History’s several excellent podcast series on the Revolution. #books #booksky

Today’s #RandomRPGCover isn’t an RPG at all but I’m including it anyway: the third edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Wargaming was as much a part of my youth as role-playing and I still have my minis and much of the scenery I made. #warhammer #oldhammer

Someone really needs to make a three-movie series on the French Revolution and its immediate aftermath. Maybe call them: Episode I: Robespierre: A New Hope Episode II: The (Napoleonic) Empire Strikes Back Episode III: Return of the (Bourbon) King

Phil Wells @philwells.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Today’s #RandomRPGCover is the first edition of the second part of the classic Enemy Within campaign, originally released in its own booklet. Memorable for the complete destruction of Bögenhafen at the end, if the players fail (as mine did!). #wfrp #warhammer #oldhammer #rpgs

Today’s #RandomRPGCover is my favourite RPG of all time: the first edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Grittier and more realistic than D&D and AD&D, my gaming group and I absolutely loved it. #wfrp #warhammer #oldhammer #rpgs

I agree with the Economist on Pluribus: I too found it dull. It also has the problem that Rhea Seehorn’s character is absolutely insufferable. Watch Better Call Saul instead.

How many times do I try to beat the final boss of #Khazan without summoning a Spirit of Advocacy to help? I haven’t summoned one in any boss fight so far and there’s a trophy if I can beat this guy without one too. But he’s also an order of magnitude harder than any other boss so far! 🙁 #videogames

I wish every year was like this. Hurricane season in Bermuda has only become more anxiety-inducing as climate change has increased the number and intensity of storms we have to worry about.

Enjoying Khazan on the PS5. Over half way through now and I reckon it’s one of the easier Soulslikes. I’m playing on Normal, but there’s an Easy difficulty too. #videogames
