This is the Emperor of Mankind. He's been on a golden throne for the last 10,000 years. He's kept "alive" (supposedly) with the sacrifice of hundreds of psychics' lives every day.

My Magic the Gathering take is that every in-universe set should have 15 or more "Story Spotlight" cards instead of the five or so they usually make. Put the current narrative front and centre! I want to know what the main characters (of the year) are up to without needing to research it.

(to say nothing of correspondents literally being kidnapped, disappeared and killed in some parts of the world; I realize Sven isn't talking specifically about that kind of work, but we're all connected through our profession and understand the interrelated risks.)

Interesting that this person imagines the harshest feedback a journalist would get is a fake 1/10 personality review and not physical threats that prompt a response from building security

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

Why Iโ€™m launching a feminist video games website in 2026 Iโ€™ve been a games journalist since 2007, but still there isnโ€™t much video games coverage that feels like itโ€™s specifically for people like me. So Iโ€™m creating a home for it: Mothership

i wrote about mothership.blog for @theguardian.com today by the way. thanks so much to @mackeza.bsky.social for the opportunity to tell more people about mothership and what we are doing with the site <3 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...
