I'm obsessed with 38-0, this cute browser game where you draft a squad from 11 randomly-chosen Premier League teams, with the intent to win every match in a season. This is the closest I've got with a cracking draft and a scummy 5-4-1 formation. Scored 100 goals and 105 points though.

this is a ridiculous deal. in fact, I might buy it just to gift every game to various pals because they're all that good and the charity is well worth supporting

John Blanche is the only real 'hobby hero' I've ever had. His art inspired me in ways no other visual artist has ever done and has impacted my life, work, and hobbies in innumerable ways. I'm saddened and honoured to write his obituary for TheGamer. www.thegamer.com/iconic-warha...

Iconic Warhammer 40k Artist John Blanche Has Died

John Blanche was responsible for many iconic pieces of Warhammer artwork and epitomised the grimdark setting of Warhammer 40k.

I have an incredibly specific request for cis journalists and editors: push for your publication’s style guide to be updated to include not only the use of they/them pronouns, but also of multiple pronouns.

Lemme start a thread here, asking a question for trans and queer folks: How would you like the cis/hetero allies you know to support you or stand up for you, this Pride? No wrong answers ... I’m just gathering responses and I’ll maybe write something for WHT … You also can email (link in bio).

Did a fun thing with Ben, one of my fave ppl in games media, at The Wand Report - we decided on a letter series format (very much inspired by the letter series I've done with the rest of the @rascal.news gang) - and talk about our feelings on Zero Parade

Horrifying. 😥 "War has always been deadly to children, but now a new concern has arisen in Gaza, where they seem to be vanishing without explanation. Parents believe that they are being abducted, but no-one knows what becomes of them."
