The last time I was in Luton was about 10 years ago, me and another actor were doing a kid's show in a school. We parked and were trying to use the parking machine and a Muslim guy in traditional dress said "here take my ticket, it goes til 6pm" and then he drove away. TERRIFYING NO-GO ZONE!

A madwoman insisted I paint her Louis bag. Absolutely terrifying to work on a surface twice as expensive as my paintings, but somehow I managed to not mess it up 🙏🫠

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving generative AI-powered instruction sim, has been spending $1000 a day to keep the demo running, and now, they've had to take out a bank loan to keep up. https://bit.ly/4rWqe8g

Just a reminder of what we have lost, and why you should care about getting it back.

Yeah. Here's the rundown of how we got to the point where PAX has killed 4 programs which helped BIPOC, Disabled &/or LGBT2SQIA+ people get badges, get seen, have support and have facilitated TTRPGs & other games to play in the only place that required safety tools. i-cch.medium.com/a-timeline-a...

Tucker’s evolution into Alex Jones is now complete.

Gears of War: E-Day is the latest game to become an unwilling participant in a culture war keeping people distracted and putting revenue in the pockets of rage baiters! The voluntary insomnia that these rage beaters display is one of the main ways this war persists.

Bluesky right now is better for me than Twitter ever was even at its peak. While it’s definitely not an echo chamber - I wouldn’t care if it was. I’ve heard enough bigotry and anti-science garbage in my life to know what their arguments are. I don’t need to hear it every day to be educated on it.

If you can’t afford the book please just look at this image, which contains every season one character, instead.

All of the proposed changes are absolutely awful for the majority of players & consumers. The response to players' disappointment in opening a foil c/uc is to just cut the foil from packs? Rather than increase the rate of rares/mythics in foil in packs?? Totally ridiculous, and transparent greed.

As part of the book, I’ve done a chapter heading illustration for each episode I’m covering! These will also be produced as 14 postcards, exclusive to the kickstarter (although the illustrations are visible in the book too.) Here’s one for “Moaning Lisa”.
