Fishnets and Philosophy Podcast

So fucking grim.

I really wish WhatsApp was not so popular here in Europe, trying to convince friends to jump to Signal or an equivalent is an Everest sized task.

I deleted FB years ago now, and I am honestly very close to fully deleting IG too - it does not give me any joy

Every day the film Idiocracy becomes less satirical and more accurate prophecy

Every time I watch the rugby it makes me more frustrated that football does not adopt the clock stopping while play stops rule

Gosh there are so many writers that constantly make me think "fuck - what a privilege to read this"
@blondekwaidan.bsky.social
@blsaycewrites.bsky.social
@bjcolangelo.bsky.social
@momoshaty.bsky.social
@theneonbanshee.bsky.social
@sharai.bsky.social
@psycstar.bsky.social

So many more too

The fact it says "taking place after the events of the game" is concerning me given that there are multiple different endings for the game.

Honestly just set a tv show in Faerun and tell an individual story instead of latching it onto an existing IP

I like both and think they make each other richer.
I prefer the overall editing and cinematography of Bone Temple over 28YL but that's a personal preference thing over thinking one is necessarily better than the other.

The world may be on fire but at least we have a new @bloodybroads.bsky.social episode out discussing the phenomenal 28YL: The Bone Temple.

I have been doing a lot of thinking about what the next themed season of my podcast should be and recently I have started DMing two D&D campaigns, same world but different time periods and I am now leaning towards a season about D&D/TTRPG

Maybe something like "What D&D/TTRPG means to me?"

Omg yes!!!!!!!

Fucking hell this is absolutely grim

Please I hate it 😭

Also January being the "new year" and starting fresh when everything is still cold, dull, and dead? Not the vibe.

may the hands that write the headlines supporting the innocence of the state ache forever from the weight of upholding ill gotten power

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE Is An Infernal Requiem For A Broken Britain Nia DaCosta’s 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is as British as its predecessor - and that’s terrifying. Read our full thoughts within.

Tories! Trains! The traitor David Cameron! THE BONE TEMPLE has as much to say about Britain, the good, bad and ugly of it all, as 28 YEARS LATER did. I break it down for @fangoria.bsky.social 🦴

Faith and moving past trauma - a review of Black phone 2 — Fishnets and Philosophy Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill have once again stepped into the world created by Joe Hill, and much like The Grabber in this film, we can say that they are back with far less limitations in wh...

Life got very busy but happy to say my review of @crobertcargill.bsky.social @sderrickson.bsky.social Black Phone 2 is now up on my website. This film took me my surprise and I am keen for a re-watch.

Now this is the ideal state of existence - fat and carefree

One of my highlights from FrightFest last year - will be great to see it find its audience

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Getting into DMing D&D games and I find it is genuinely so off putting that there:

A] there is no price difference between digital and physical source books

B] the 2014 source books are the same full price as 2024 source books

Honestly we should be hibernating and not having to continue trying to exist under capitalism during the winter months. It is so grim

I just finished watching season 2 of Foundation on AppleTV and this show is absolutely fantastic. Very excited to start season 3

Remember that we can always find power, solidarity, and hope in the labor movement.

Don't cross the picket line! #NoContractNoCoffee

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Yup - also on Android and just buffering before saying network issue

Picture of Tadhg smiling holding a green FAI Ireland flag

Ireland are through to the World Cup play-offs in March 😭🇮🇪

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Not to be all Fontaines about it, but as a colonised people, those of us who slag off aspects of our own culture like the Irish language or wearing zogabongs - you'd want to have a word with yourselves

I’m just a gay man, standing in front of a gay world, saying it’s okay if you’re not all that bothered about Wicked.

Gosh that was a beautiful moment
