A mug depicting KC Green's This Is Fine dog comic, but tragically faded

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

It's the last day of BHM! Reminder to continue supporting and celebrating black artists, writers, creators and designers ALL year long! 💕 We don't suddenly disappear after February, we're still here creating content and making things we're proud of! ✨

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

You probably can’t personally stop the war in Iran today. Is there something you can do for your neighbors hiding from ice? For a trans person in Kansas? Any local aid orgs or rapid response networks? Phone banks? Anyone already doing good shit that just needs a hand?

I just want to give a bump to the fundraiser for Patrick Dane's family as they deal with the long aftermath of the horrific car accident that took him away from us all. They need it for the enormous costs incurred. Time off work. Fights. Hotels. Etc.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

I still believe strongly in "when they go low, we go high" as long as "high" means "finally sign onto the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court and see that they are prosecuted for war crimes and human right violations"

It pleases me no end to be able to report that the Braille in Resident Evil Requiem is accurate.

Shoutout to @ianhigton.bsky.social who was still there from my time on the team.

He built Eurogamer’s YouTube channel brick by brick over the course of 13(!!!) years as different presenters came and went. Such an easy person to work with, despite the jorts, and was an absolute grafter too.

This is amazing.

In short, please share these posts (and those of my affected colleagues). I feel I’d be a great asset to so many different teams. In the turbulent world of video games, I’m confident I’m as close to a sure thing you can get. Bonus: I can start immediately.

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.

Matt Goodwin definitely not a Goodloser

The fact that Reform are *only just* ahead of Labour, and that far behind the Greens, is fucking *lovely* news.

I’m so late - sorry! - but delighted for you! 💖

You may want to sit down for this, friends, but I just went outside and it’s not raining.

After Amazon let me down (shocker), Waterstones were champs. Congrats on yet another banger launch, @cowfishdreams.bsky.social! ❤️

Reform UK Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say 8h ago

Disgusting and reprehensible though this is, because of the "unique way political neutrality works" in the UK, it is useful for someone to say the quiet part out loud because then it becomes a real thing to be deflected, rather than a hypothetical political imaginary to be lightly conjured

Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

Rural Wales has a very similar vibe to Scotland! 💪 (and cannot wait for your next project).

Townfall does look very, very intriguing, tho. It’s the most excited I’ve been of all the 2022 SH projects announced at the time!

That is an incredible pull quote from Meta, jesus. Masks fully coming off.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Thanks for reaching out! I can't DM you but feel free to drop me a line via my website and we can go from there!
