shotgun not me but think there's scope here for a proper, lengthy, meaty feature looking at every single policy area in Britain that's currently fucked specifically because of a decision George Osborne took, reckon you could make it an actual mag cover, his fingerprints are everywhere

the tourettes at the BAFTAs thing, with its lack of clear baddie and its need for sympathy for all and a bit of saneness and restraint, is perfectly designed to send a specific type of (usually american) ultra liberal mental

Misato driving and talking on the phone with the caption: Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.

Happy Twin Peaks Day.

too many people will be mad the new xbox CEO is a woman and none of these people will be mad about what really matters is that she’s an ai maniac

the best bit of revenge of the sith is the battle droid that really cattily goes "you're welcome" when it hands grievous a lightsaber

'we are thrilled and proud to announce we have created marvin the paranoid android from douglas adam's famous novel, "don't create marvin, the paranoid android"'

I know Branagh is sometimes a bad word but his Hamlet really is THE one for me.

I dunno if this counts but Neon Genesis Evangelion being such a ramshackle game of improv and retcons and remasterings and production nukes all coming together as a thematic and narrative steel drum where every story beat feels planned from word go is still so creatively insane to me.

The way Chris pincher has been basically been erased from boris downfall is really instructive in Westminster culture and how these people get away with it

In a touching tribute to his mentor, Morgan McSweeney has resigned in disgrace.

Things I really wish had commentaries that came out in the post-commentary era:

1) Bardo (laudatory)
2) Madame Webb (derogatory)
3) The Whittaker era of Doctor Who (derogatory)
4) The RTD2 era of Doctor Who (bit of column a, bit of column b)

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Mandelson reduced to feuding with the osteopaths is very 'Lydia Tar reduced to conducting video game music'.

The EU should probably brutalize an American tech company, and they should actually go after one of the ones that’s relatively less culpable as an example to scare the bandwagoners. Possession is 9/10 of the law, I’m sure Ireland can fuck up some company that uses them as a tax haven.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Get your artifacts out. Lara's on her way…

Holy cow! That looks amazing! Wait 'til I show Jon!

Outer Worlds 2 with strong hon mentions to Dispatch and Atomfall

Currently replaying it but definitely Max Payne 1 for me

I have a sneaking love for Peter Hitchens - in a world where every rightwinger’s opinions are identical and you can predict them with five lines of JavaScript, he’s a true original who will just come out and say something absolutely insane

This latest shitshow is another reminder why Starmer needs to go - not in May but now. He is not willing or capable of playing the role of PM. He is vindicating the far-right and demoralising the left. He should be removed for being bad for the country not merely losing Labour elections

You are not smarter than the art you critique Here's my best advice for young critics: Don't presume you know better.

The paragraph about TV Tropes is spot on. I can't bear that approach to criticism where the main aim seems to be asserting superiority to the work. People who'll identify an influence and be like "Ah, rumbled!" episodes.ghost.io/art-criticis...

New Vegas but with strong hon mentions to RDR1 and a (not on here but still) Transformers War For Cybertron

Can I just shock you? I think public transport infrastructure is good and these people should fuck off.

think it will always be RDR2 for me

The Outer Worlds 2 has a radio station where all the music sounds exactly like the stuff from Fallout, but it's all written *FOR THE GAME*. They hired real swing and jazz bands to help create the songs, and the lyrics are all tongue-in-cheek product jingles. It's my favourite thing about the game.
