I think if I was on Traitors, I would simply openly weep and blubber the entire time until they had to call a doctor and quietly drag me off set.

It is National Poetry Day in the UK, so for my contribution, I humbly share one of my favourite poems of all time, written by Robert Florence,
BATMAN'S AFF HIS NUT
Batman's aff his nut 
Have you seen the way he cuts aboot 
Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat 
Batterin guys
I was lit at: 
"Mate, I'm worried aboot ye 
I know your ma and da died 
But everybody's ma and da dies 
And we're no aw runnin aboot 
Hookin muggers and 
Kickin psychopaths in the baws."
And that was when Batman went 
"Aye, but do ye ever feel like it?
Do you ever look at the world and feel like it?
Like having a big mad base under your hoose?
Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor 
that turns intae a tank?
And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night?
Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?"
And that was when I was lit at: 
"Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae."
And that's the Secret Origin of Robin 
and everybody else.

Do I have any Glasgow friends free on Saturday who want to try out a photo scavenger hunt around the city centre? It's a bit rough and I have probably miscalibrated the difficulty. I have not done a thing like this before and this is kind of a playtest.
Game Rules
Objective
The object of the game is, as part of a team, to find and replicate photographs which were taken around Glasgow, in a limited space of time.
Play zone
The play zone is a quadrilateral drawn between the center of George Square, the midpoint in the river between the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge and the Victoria Bridge, the Tidal Weir at Glasgow Green, and High Street train station, marked in red and labelled with a bird. (An image illustrates this. The red silhouette of a small perching bird marks the middle of the region.)
Goal photographs
Each player will receive the same sheet of 36 photographs at the start of the day. All the photographs were taken somewhere in the play zone.(The goal photographs paragraph is illustrated with an example sheet. A six by six grid of square photos uses the letters G through L and 7 through 12. It is marked prominently with the text "EXAMPLE".)
Teams
Players may form teams of any size.
Mascots
Every team will be given a soft toy as a mascot. You may bring your own. Your team may only have one mascot. Mascots will receive participation ribbons.
Taking photographs
You must try to recreate as many of the goal photographs as you can, with your team mascot in frame, wearing its ribbon. You must match the framing of the photographs, including the same major background or foreground elements, such as buildings, statues or street signs. Your mascot does not need to be in focus.
Navigation and exploration
You may use Google Maps or an equivalent service for search and navigation. You may not click into the "photos" tab or scroll to view photos beyond those that first appear on screen when viewing a search result. 
You may not use Street View or any equivalent service.A map of Glasgow city centre from OpenStreetMap. It has been overlaid with four coloured quadrants: yellow with a bell centred around Sauchiehall Street, green with a tree around the Strathclyde and City College campuses, red with a bird around the merchant city, and blue with a fish around central station.

We're back. The Power Fantasy returns on December 9th, carefully timed to be just after everyone has wrapped their comics of the year lists, so making folks go "Oh - wait, they did those banger two issues in January and February and I forgot, never mind."
The Power Fantasy 17 cover, by Caspar Wijngard. Valentina, making a peace scene with rasberry jam on her hand, probably.

What happens a lot on social media is when someone (Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman now Ed Brubaker) has allegations thrown at them people tend to leap out the woodwork saying "their work was never good." That helps no one as it's irrelevant. What matters is their actions and what they did.

transsexual community needs to develop a single word shorthand that means like “i understand you are being well intentioned but please do not say that fucking shit to me ever again. also you are okay and you’re good. i promise you’re good. you’re good. it’s okay. you’re good.”

Mother in law bought me a fancy cheese hamper for my birthday last week and maybe I'm just getting middle aged as fuck, but it was the highlight of my birthday. Fancy cheese hamper! There was this cheese called Rachel? It was a goats cheese that was kind of like Gouda. 10/10.

A number of foolish people arguing that transphobic groups should be proscribed instead as if the whole system of proscription isn't very nakedly "we want the right to lock up everyone we don't like" full stop, as if we haven't seen old ladies locked up most weekends for resisting genocide.

The cruelty is the point with the people in power across the NHS whenever trans children are concerned. Utter dereliction of basic medical duty of care throughout this process. Literally no consideration of the acute harms and risks of forced medical detransition.

Discworld QOTD, from The Fifth Elephant
Cheery dropped down from the coach. Her leather skirt flapped in the wind.
As one dwarf, the column swiveled to stare at her. Their leader went pop-eyed.
“B’dan? K’raa! D’kraga ‘ha’ak’!”
Vimes saw the expression that appeared on Cheery’s small round face.
Above him there was a clunk as Detritus rested the loaded Piecemaker on the edge of the coach.
“I know dat word he said to her,” he announced to the world. “It is not a good word. I do not want to hear dat word again.”

Really enjoying The Adventures of Elliot demo, but oh my god the main character is a fud. The most boring, nothing, overly goody main character. Would making him be a silent protagonist be the straw that broke the camels back for Nintendo to sue them for making a Zelda clone?

One of the key things I want to highlight here is the need for a shift from the individualisation of blame for personally using AI towards a systemic analysis of how market forces around AI technology is making the choice between using it or not basically not a matter of consumer choice.

This is what jq is for, right?
A terminal window with a tangled thicket of thorny flowers, drawn with emojis and box-drawing characters, growing up from the base of the screen. They are bright and colourful, with red, pink and yellow petals and different shades of blue and green stems. We also see the command that generated them, it uses shuf to generate a sequence of random numbers and then pipes it into a jq script called "flowers.jq".

me (in a bad mood): what the fuck is ~/bin/garden me (in a good mood): oh.
./garden in a terminal, it generates a colourful rendering of a simple randomly constructed garden, utf8 characters for flowers with varying length stems, and in this case a single bee hovering above. it is extremely calming, for something so simple looking

I think the 90% of the BBC that isn't news and current affairs has real value, does things that can't or won't be done by a normal media company, and we'll miss it when it's gone. But the news and current affairs are bad enough in every way that I can't actually justify defending it overall.
