Guidance for responding to 'A Fairer Pathway to Settlement' consultation
We are Amnesty International UK. We are ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights.
The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...

UK leftists! Please please please fill out the UK govt survey on Earned Settlement *today* and rail as hard as you can against any changes to this system. We cannot let them spend billions on more surveillance and fascist bureaucracy of our communities ukhomeoffice.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Iconic shot from The Shawshank Redemption, with Tim Robbins at night, looking up to the sky/camera, arms raised, while rain falls around him on a wide pool. Caption reads 'Lightning strikes in the same places all the time' - Boris Zakharin

I am LOVING this book.
Deakins: I don't like to be seen as someone that is mostly obsessed with lighting.
Also Deakins: Anyway, here's the exact layout and lamp models we used for every scene in The Hudsucker Proxy

Investigation demanded into Keir Starmer's comms chief's lobbying links
Tim Allan's minority ownership of a lobbying firm has led to accusations of a perception of a conflict of interest.
Tim Allan - ex-Trustee of transphobic hate group ‘Sex Matters’ - has just resigned as Keir Starmer’s Director of Communications following ongoing scrutiny into Peter Mandelson’s dodgy dealings with child abuser, Jeffrey Epstein!
‘Gender critical’ transphobes are always in bed with the worst people!

Well Starship seems to have been a serious of design failures, so that doesn't help... Claiming it will have 100 ton payload to the surface of the moon is pretty laughable, when it clearly can't even do this to LEO

A crumbly sandcastle in the foreground, on a sandy beach with a slither of blue sky and a blurry family walking in the distance
It's Scotland in February, so if we actually get a clear day, of course we take the kids to the beach

A screenshot from the 1968 animated movie 'Yellow Submarine' with cartoon characters the Beatles on a green bandstand playing overly large brass instruments

Wax Heads by Pattatue Games, coming 2026. I'm a writer on this game! The image shows a character, Tee, wearing a pink longsleeve and holding a vinyl she just pulled from its purple slipcase, about to putvit onto a record player. Tee has aqua hair with lime green bangs, she's wearing glasses and headphones around her neck. In the background, a man is looking through a vinyl rack.
Oddsparks, released this year, nominated for the Deutsche Entwicklerpreis. I wrote on this game, too! The image shows your character, wearing a red cloak with yellow accents and holding a wooden staff. Under their arm, they're holding a wood spark, a tiny creature that looks like a tree stump with googly eyes. They're lookingvdown onto an assembly line from their vantage point on a cliff.
Mars Vice, a queer visual novel. The image shows a woman of colour in an olive turtleneck holdingba to go coffee cup. She's quishrd between several anthropomorphic animals. She's looking grumpily up at her partner, a male lion.
Mythwrecked! I'm it's lead writer. The image shows Alex, a woman if colour with a poofy bun of natural hair, shorts and a tankntop, in front of several other characters.
Hi everyone, I'm urgently looking for any work. I'm a writer and narrative designer, I offer game consultations and mock reviews, I localise between German and English, I can write copy. If it needs words, I'll do it! Here's some games I've written on in the past:

A picture of the record cover for 'The Flight of the Condor' Original Soundtrack Music From The BBC TV Series, and a picture of a majestic black and white condor flying over snowy mountains
Right. Background music for some serious work.

A view over the Cornish coast.
A path with a rainbow over it.

Calls to halt UK Palantir contracts grow amid ‘lack of transparency’ over deals
Opposition MPs urge Labour to pause public contracts with the US tech firm after attempts to examine deals blocked
Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS.
The fingerprints of Mandelson and his lobbying firm are all over these deals.
The rot goes to the heart of this Labour govt
