The wild emotional turmoil of leaving Magdalena bay and checking the 6 nation scores is really rough on me and the four other people who like rugby at this gig.

The Kent Coarse/fine split comb is actually great for quinoa and other crumbs without catching in the beard uncomfortably and is a decent shaper as well.

Look I'm a fan of a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it's already a lot of fun, but like, George isn't writing any more until the winds of winter is getting finished so we're at most getting like, three seasons before this goes downhill fast because a winds of winter will not be out this decade.

Niamh Smyth meeting X as we speak.

Confusion as to what exactly has been said to her - Taoiseach initially appears to say he understands they told her Grok as an app would be disabled but later clarified that he meant Grok’s edit image function on X…

Dear gamers,

This past Thursday at the Hard Drive Game Awards Presented by Call of Duty Black Ops 7, we awarded Clair Obscur Expedition 33 with the very prestigious and coveted Best Game That Would Be Improved By The Complete Annihilation Of Its Fanbase

However, it has come to our attention that some members of its fan base are actually AI bots, which is against our strict guidelines. We we not informed of this when they submitted the game for consideration. In light of this development, we have no choice but to strip Clair Obscur of the award. 

In the interest of fairness, the game that received the second most amount of votes will now be honored with this award instead. With that in mind, we would like to congratulate Wordle for winning Best Game That Would Be Improved By The Complete Annihilation Of Its Fanbase!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This past Thursday was the Hard Drive Game Awards Presented by Call of Duty Black Ops 7.

While the show was a great success, unfortunately, some things have come to light about one of our winners, and we had to make a hard decision.

Walking through Stansted with a few kilos of Rooney in a suitcase which I drop in front of Greggs while my contact drops an identical suitcase full of banknotes. We do the switch without making eye contact.

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

Women saved Star Trek, women put together the first Star Trek con, women put together the zines and wrote the fanfic (and decided Kirk & Spock should be together and that ship was called Kirk/Spock and "slash" is literally a thing because of that slash). I could go onβ€”

Got hit with a service charge when we were out for apres work drinks last night. For six people, in like, a normal bar. Not even a tourist bar, not in temple bar, just a pub that also has food. I feel violated.
