When people who cheat at a game invite you to play with them, it is not for your benefit that they do so.

A couple things…

The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

I lived through publishers telling me constantly that NFTs and Crypto games were the future and I needed to get on the train and design them or I'd be left behind.

I said NO.

I'll outlast "AI generated games" too. That's an oath.

Two ICE-Gestapo killers have been placed on leave after lying under oath about a violent encounter they supposedly faced during their seige in Minneapolis. They face termination and criminal charges.

Good, they aren’t agents, they are terrorists. They should all be sent to jail.

Absolutely dire programme today, @channel4news.bsky.social. Switched off.

Mandelson this, Starmer leadership that, and a bit of free PR for Farage for good measure.

I thought #C4News were a bit different.

One way people in more urban areas differ from those in the sticks is this constant DoorDash debate.

Cooking every day is a goddamn drag even when you like cooking. But having the option NOT to cook is a luxury.

DoorDash doesn’t exist here. You can go get takeout. Not even pizza is delivered.

Poster for the March for Billionaires event in San Francisco on Saturday February 7, 2026.

This is an actual thing happening on Saturday. Imagine being this much of a pick-me shill.

It’s quite something watching Trump, Vance and the rest of his boosters trying to argue that meekly accepting untrammelled government authority is what America is all about, actually.

It’s particularly wild watching the “don’t tread on me” lads nodding along as they do, though.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

There are three judges in Netanyahu's corruption trial. All three are on the Jerusalem District court. None of them have been assassinated.

Don't fall for misinformation, please.

a lot of political professionals have tried to sell me on this compulsion by centrist dems to pivot every new indignity to the approved party attack line. that it's smart politics, that it breaks through, etc. maybe that's true. the only thing I know for sure is that it quite literally disgusts me

Multiple international crises with Trump taking a Russian Flagged ship, threatening to take Greenland by force, and kidnapping a foreign head of state. Now, CBP murdered a US citizen in Minneapolis. We aren't even a full week into 2026 and it's one horror show after another.

Got some free French infantrymen from Warlord Games that I decided to paint as a warm-up before starting on some outstanding projects!

Hunting is completely impractical, causes immense damage to farming, benefits nobody and is very cruel indeed.

No wonder Britain's leading Brexiter backs it.

This retired couple in America went from $443 to $2,224 a month for healthcare after Trump and the Republican Party killed Obamacare subsidies.
That’s exactly the nightmare Farage wanted for Britain when he flirted with selling off the National Health Service to Trump.

Capitalism claims to empower each of us to be economic agents, rewarded for our activities, and vulnerable to competition.

If that was true, billionaires would not exist.

They do, because capitalism has morphed into monipolism. Without redistributive tax, it'll only get worse.

And he knows it.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

More journalists and politicians should use YouTube for fun. And probably TikTok, too.

We have a media and political class with Extremely Strong Opinions about entertainment platforms they don't use, but which millions of normal people do. The resulting opinions both are weird, and look weird.
