The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Sensible plan from Green Councillor Tom, voted down by Swindon's Labour cabinet "because we hate you". #HopeNotHate
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer on her election as MP for Gorton & Denton from everyone at Swindon Area Green Party! The Green Party just put a plumber into parliament to speak up for the 99%. And we won't stop there.
Local Green councillors have proposed an amendment to the Labour council's budget, all fully costed. Even in a minority role we're full of good ideas to improve services.
My good friend Andrea just launched a KS for his spicy demon dating game. I know a bunch of you would enjoy this...

We had a great turnout for our members meeting on Monday and saw lots of new faces. Members heard from our councillors on their work in local government. And also got a chance to feed into the local policy process.
Finally got fed up with Thunderbird being flaky and switched to Mailspring. It's wonderfully clean and minimalist, zero clutter, and also free. Recommend it!
Power tools IS an underserved niche...but also somewhat reliant on a post-apocalyptic power supply.
In fairness I've only played Dark Conspiracy (T2000 system with a cyberpunk-x-files setting instead) which worked great. But the gun porn in T2000 always made me unconfortable.
Isn't that Twilight:2000?
I mean the diagram lacks a passenger compartment, which makes it...a missile.

Well deserved :)
Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA
Been out canvassing again, slowly growing our support... 💚
Help us make hope normal again.
Join the Green Party now.
One chapter is literally just an animated poem read by Burroughs :)
I love how throughout the game, the stop-motion puppets all have gaping voids for eyes.
Oh this was wonderful. Not very interactive TBH but such a great art style.
Rosie and Marcus are excellent local candidates who will work hard to empower the community in Kingshill. Follow this page for updates on their campaign 👇

Goals!
I do actually have some fun game dev stuff to share as well as politics, but it's all for a specific LARP event in March so I need to sit on it until after that to avoid spoilers...
Lot of chat with my local councillors in this piece! (@13min)

Great to do this long form interview with @skynewsrss.bsky.social
We're engaging with Reform voters because they're fed up with the system - and right to be.
But instead of more division, we need to invest in communities and stop the super rich screwing us over.

A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/
It was a serviceable action movie - broadly coherent and successfully made me care about some of the characters. The sequel has a helicopter with concrete-resistant blades.
In fairness it was dumb in NbNW too. Sorry Hitchcock.
Highlight was a helicopter attempting to ram a pedestrian, for no good reason.
Had a similar experience with The Old Guard 2 yesterday. Just...incoherent :(
