Great deals all round here but £3 for Lair of the Clockwork God in particular is an incredible steal. Get right on that if you like any combination of puzzles, jumping and funny dialogue.

IMHO, and I know I'll get nailed for this, but buying in cheap shows like Schitt's Creek is massively preferable for a public broadcaster than spending what it spends on reality shows like Traitors or the salaries for soap stars.

My 2-year-old asked if we could play Mario Kart when we got home. She said I had to be King Boo, & she wanted to be 'the purple wife'. After some questioning, it transpired this is her name for Waluigi.

Once again the council has sent people round to mow the grass verges on bin day, when all the verges have bins on them. Blokes on ride-on mowers swerving around them and leaving bin-shaped patches of long grass in their wake

The more takes like this I see the more I want to get a busted-up 4-track to record my future projects on. Reckon lo-fi (in its original sense of ramshackle DIY music using cheap analog recording equipment) is the one genre that's due a comeback as people get sick of slop.

Whittling away the state pension will disproportionately affect people with ADHD whose decision paralysis has meant they never got around to sorting out a proper workplace pension. Which is probably why the government is going out of its way to claim those people don't exist

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I think it's now unlikely for moderately online people not to have heard OF it, but still entirely possible not to have HEARD it. There's a distinction between the two.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks
In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

Also, there's no fucking need to produce art faster. It's not food. If an animated movie, or a book, or a music album takes five years to make, then so be it. "We need to make it faster" is a capitalistic mindset, and it's there to benefit the owners of corporations, not the workers/customers.
