Happy Sunday 27th to all who celebrate, and also who played a bunch of random PC demos in the early 90s.

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch (2025) is a great show, but it's even better if you headcanon that Sam Fisher is actually Santa Claus and it's a Violent Night (2022) spin-off

One of the secondary things I appreciate about BlueSky over Xwitter is the lack of clamour or interest in live-updating ongoing television programmes. Got a strong opinion about #GBBO? Great! Yell it at your TV screen like we did in the 90s.

There are signs at the Trafalgar Square fountains that say NO SWIMMING and I really just want to get in the water there and slosh about aimlessly while yelling "I'M NOT SWIMMING! I'M NOT SWIMMING! I'M NOT SWIMMING!"

I did not know it was Bisexual Awareness Week. This is why we campaign, so I can develop better observational skills.

Normalise using "under refurbishment" to refer to being unable to properly meet a usual level of social expectations due to currently struggling to maintain self care.

Seen a recent confluence of memes and posts and references about "the terror of the blank page" and how ubiquitous it supposedly is for all writers, but honestly, the only terror I have about the page is that I don't get the opportunity to sit in front of it anywhere near enough.

I did not realise that Tim Curry played Worm #1 in Samurai Jack, like one of my favourite top tier story segments from that show.

I'm always hesitant to mention in a review how an organisation or person went above and beyond for me, because I don't want everyone to take that as the default expectation.

Based on this weekend, the main fashion in London (and therefore everywhere else next year) is brilliantly white plain heavyweight t-shirts. How boring.

Hot take but Macavity doesn't need to be in Cats, and is better played as a folk fear or collective anxiety than as a real and specific character.

Currently the kind of nice weather and atmosphere in North Central London where strangers give strangers thumbs up as if to say "I'm having a nice time, I hope you're having a nice time, are you having a nice time?"

Concept art is the most poisonous place to use Al. That's when your creative vision is the most fragile and undeveloped. When you see what the Al made and say, "That looks cool, I want my game to look like that!" it's like it's secretly swapping out your baby with its own.

I stopped trying to work out the practicalities of seeing The Odyssey and realised I have no interest in seeing The Odyssey. Nothing to do with the discourse or critiques or cast and creatives, just zero interest. Could be depression, could be bean soup. Shrug emoji.

I wasn't emotionally ready for the scene in Amazing/Wonderful World of Gumball when the dad overcomes generational trauma to fully embrace their sense of self and his mum says "That's my Richard" to which his wife says "No, that's OUR Richard." I'm 42 and this cartoon is for children.

It is not the "first total eclipse since 1999!" you ethnocentric pillocks, it's the 19th and there's life beyond the English Channel.

So #Bouchra is the best movie I've ever seen about a New York based Moroccan lesbian coyote making a movie about being a New York based Moroccan lesbian coyote. (it's also so much more than that)

A photo of Count Binface (a man dressed as a bin), Andy Burnham (a man not dressed as a bin) and a man dressed as a fox. Andy Burnham is smiling at the camera. There is the caption "Remind me, why is there a Greater Manchester mayoral by-election?" above the image.

Sometimes I feel like I have been disconnected from publishing (in as little as I was connected to it in the first place) for so long that the very language of talking about books has changed even those speaking it haven't, and I have no receipts, evidence or examples to qualify that.

How to be an artist: 1) Set up your workspace so it is absolutely perfect. Sharp pencils are more important that what you do with them 2) Pick either Ko-Fi or TipJar, and build a website around that 3) Plan a few answers for difficult convention questions 4) Go have a sandwich, you've earned it

One thing to which I always look forward at the end of a hotel holiday is getting to have breakfast at sometime other than between 07:30 and 07:35.

The British people who base their star rating for locations in other countries on how well the staff speak English need to stop doing that, it's confusing for those of us who *don't* want to be babied wherever we go.
