Alice Bell

It's incredible how thin-skinned people who post gen-ai images are when it comes to criticism. Just heartbroken when people don't praise something they didn't even make! The world's worst Harry Potter fan-artist has more integrity.

Would have improved Hamnet, I tell you that for nothing

Saw Send Help, happy to report that Sam Raimi still has the juice. I enjoyed it way more than “Wuthering Heights”, Hamnet etc

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events

Upshot: verify before amplifying

it’s gritney bitch

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Look, is Max Landis a good person? No. But is he a uniquely talented writer with a track record of success, and who deserves multiple opportunities? Also no.

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics.

But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

The Mermaid Mask on Steam An impossible locked-room murder: Captain Mortuga lies dead beside an ancient cauldron aboard the world’s strangest submarine, crewed by sketchy suspects. A handcrafted point-and-click with sharp humo...

The Mermaid Mask! Love Tangle Tower and I’m stoked to see this gorgeous/playful/weird mystery series is back soon! This time it’s piratical and theatrical. store.steampowered.com/app/1696770/...

I only hope Starmer is beige enough to stay out of this. Although Labour have proven themselves stupid enough to think that joining a deeply unpopular war that we have nothing to do with would shore up their vote somehow

Ryu walking into the sunset in the ending of Street Fighter II. The caption reads: "Already seeking the next challenge, ceremony means nothing to him."

Personal news: I'm leaving my Editor-at-large role at Eurogamer & Gamer Network as part of new cuts. I last year approached my move to Eurogamer & VG247's skeletonization with reluctance, but I ultimately greatly enjoyed giving EG a go. But now after 10yrs & in difficult conditions, it's time to go.

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

Sorry to hear this man, I’m sure you’ll land somewhere great soon

And Matt Goodwin who DID NOT win

tweet by the late Dawn Foster from Sep 4th 2020 "Matt Goodwin once emailed me to accuse him of being racist when I called him a “racist whisperer” and I had to explain to him that horse whisperers aren’t horses."

RIP to a real one

Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."

Just took 93yr Mum to vote, she’s registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, “Which box for bigger boobs?” A cheer went up from waiting voters.

*touches earpiece* I’m hearing approximately 7 million other people also made this joke

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

As the returning officer said, if you saw it happening why not tell the staff at the time?

I have never heard of “family voting” or the group Democracy Volunteers before, but their whole deal seems to be complaining about “family voting” after an election

More like MATT BADLOSE AMIRITE

(Join the Green Party)

This is going to be a very “this sign won’t stop me because I can’t read” moment for Labour

Yes lads!!

Night Mrs Binky, sleep tight

Yeah read backwards LOADS at a way earlier age than was probably appropriate…

I've saved the content of my article on ilovebees on videogamer, it's not really well written but it's got a ton of the history as described by Jordan Weisman that I think is super interesting. Apart from that you can have it.
