Excellent piece. They just don’t have the guts or the gumption to demand accountability from the big tech companies.

Yes social media is not a positive for many young people, but it’s also very bad for a lot of adults. No action on that at all.

I think my Buchan blacksmith great grandfather may have been.

Some of their Gorton and Denton candidate’s madder utterances can’t be helping them.

In my head that’s an increasingly irate Geordie trying to get me to act.

Black Powder and Brimstone - The Heretic's Zeal - Alistair Smith | DriveThruRPG Stop the priest! The prophecy must not come to pass. It is a time of war and horror. The Vaterland is riven by conflict and stricken with plague. Cities burn and crops fail. But if the omens are to be...

Two Black Powder & Brimstone pamphlets published today, a scenario and road encounters for @bentobitt.bsky.social’s rich and flavourful setting.

Damn. We’re away or I’d have signed up for that. Sounds awesome. And Butser farm a 30 min drive.

Likewise but yet to get my arse in gear and sell.

If we needed any further evidence that Goodwin was mad.

100%

@laticsexile.bsky.social will ping you the pdfs on Discord.

Guinea Pigs are cute, but none of ours showed any evidence of i.

Also, at the risk of being a prat, my Scottish based scenarios aren’t too horrific.

This morning wasn’t as bad as yesterday - had to change completely on return. Soaked through.

You can definitely skew towards Brookhorses, Trolls and Fairies rather than things like Mylings which have horrible backstories baked in.

I take your point re the word Horror tho.

The One Ring 2e starter set (first one) is a a nice intro, esp if they’ve enjoyed The Hobbit or LOTR.

Offering odds on a party without a candidate does raise a question over the other odds tho.

Ah well. This morning’s dog walk in the bucketing rain has conclusively answered the ‘do my wellies leak’ question.

And included nonsense like Sunni and Shia Muslims chumming up.

Can’t believe it having watched the awful fare in Rome last week.

Still v important to me!

What a lovely article. Crazy competition to gavel launched in the early stages of a war.

They all seem to believe their success in one field means they should be listened to about things they clearly know nothing about, in a country they choose not to live or pay taxes in.

Go and moan about the bins in Monaco or whatever Jimbo.

The cover of Syd Barrett’s album The Madcap Laughs. A barefoot man with curly hair (Syd) crouches on a striped parquet floor. Next to him is a small vase of daffodils.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

Too cool.

Not sure my wife will appreciate properly tho!

I was thinking of The Troubleshooters while watching it the other night.

Yes. That would be fun.

I think we need an alternative to East End Orcs tho - that’s another too common one. I bid North East Scotland. “"Aye, meat's back on the menu, loons!" “Fit aboot ‘em, they’re fresh”

Given we’re not talking about the consequences of policy decisions, you presumably mean ‘… with his own hands’?

I’d like someone to turn it all on its head. Scouse Hobbits, Geordie Elves, Dwarves with RP pronunciation, Kiwi Gondorians and Aussie Rangers. Get a bit tired of Scottish Dwarves and West Country Hobbits, apart from the posh ones like Pippin, Merry and Frodo.
