Such a weird image to use as the basis of your social media campaign

Oh and let’s not forget FFG’s decision to reprint WEG’s d6 Star Wars in 2017. Not as a pivot to that beloved and influential system. Just as a weird non sequitur, pretty much acknowledging their failure over the past 5 years without doing anything constructive about it.

It ought to blow your mind that when Star Wars was at its peak in the 2010s, Star Wars voice actor and superfan Sam Witwer wrote a book promoting… Dungeons & Dragons. I can guarantee Hasbro won’t repeat this mistake.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. Or Young Frankenstein.

It’s worth bearing in mind that this is almost certainly a breach of the Party’s own code of conduct. I was briefly tempted to join last year, but found this code to be potentially open to abuse, but rules are rules, and these bits aren’t what I had an issue with: greenparty.org.uk/members/code...

It hasn’t occurred to me before quite how much the classic 1980s “Make Room for the Mushrooms” advertising campaign was influenced by the work of Leni Riefenstahl. Lebensraum für die Pilze, as they say in Germany.

Other things a Matchbox film needs to include as a bare minimum

If this film doesn’t heavily feature a K-2001 Raider Command, what are we even doing here? In other news, yet another Skydance film headed straight to streaming. How come this fake movie company is a hair’s breadth from owning 50% of all media?

Well this seems fun (doesn’t appear to cover Rowling’s active support for genocide though, which is odd. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Without saying your age, what's your favourite movie that came out when you were 18?

I am child free, have my own crotch goblin (pictured) and am definitely not Normal (yecch!)

Where’s Parsley?

I think Christmas is over, guys.

The Guardian wants you to know that it is a Very Serious Newspaper that publishes Real Journalism, such as why a bunch of bits is a real actress but certain marginalised women are not real women. “This is what we’re up against” indeed.

It's bad business cosying up to Trump? Then why did he write a whole book last year about the importance of cosying up to Trump?

It originally looked a lot more dark and sinister! This is what it looked like in Batman Begins

This was done just a few minutes from my house at the National Institute for Medical Red (aka Arkham Asylum from Batman Begins). Fun fact: when they replaced it with flats they had to rebuild the flats in the same shape as the institute. So they knocked it down and then rebuilt it.

Hope Mongrol is getting a kickback for this.

OMG! I just realised that Clacton is going to be a straight fight between Binface and Bin Juice (according to Mark Thomas)! @countbinface.bsky.social

Sleepies

Out of the body experience as I wake up to discover that not only have England won the sportsball, but have somehow leapt forward in time two weeks to win the whole bloody thing.

Far right politics provides an endless stream of inspiration for Call of Cthulhu.

That isn’t “changing” Halifax. That’s called “ceasing to exist”

Someone is missing an opportunity (and a lawsuit) for not producing a fantasy football themed hack of Mork Borg called Morg'n'Thorg

What do journalists think Pride is?

If ever there was a week to rewatch this, it’s this week.

Well I have finally read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Bilquis Evely’s art is absolutely amazing and I have no criticisms on that score. But while I thought there were some interesting ideas I did not get on with the script and overall just found it mean spirited and edgy for the sake of edginess.
