I'm no interior decorator, but I think if I was fitting out a chain coffee shop late in 2025 I wouldn't have three of Russell Brand's books on the shelf.
They're out of reach or I'd be removing them myself.

Go play this game.
Leaving Gamepass soon.

I’m always a bit behind the curve on gaming.
Just finished Carrion (2020). Awesome. Very cool retro vibes, but modern control.
You play a monster escaping. Platform/puzzley, but lots of action and stealth too.
Strong recommend.

This story is absolutely harrowing.
We're just abandoning people we should absolutely be helping and shrugging at them.

historians in the 42nd century are gonna have dissertations like “the figure of Donald Trump was invented by 22nd century historians as a way of condensing the many moral failures of 21st century society into a single figure”

This podcast is so good.
If you've already heard of it I'm mad you didn't tell me. If you haven't go get it, and anything else @gralefrit.bsky.social has been involved with into your ears.

Well that'll be because they've doubled the prices, and reduced the value of the "Stars".
Not hard to see why I now only go when there's literally no alternative, which is pretty rare.

It's sure nice of Starmer to unite us all at Christmas.
Previous years we've all heard "isn't David/Teresa/Boris/Rishi/etc doing a great job?" and have to either bite your tongue or argue.
This year? None of that! Everyone agrees.
Unless you're dining with one of the few centrists left. Sympathy.

The BBC's royal correspondent's continued sympathy for Andrew is mad.
Like it's a random misfortunate thing that's happened to him, not consequences of his own repeated actions.
Completely inadequate consequences at that, so far.
Absolutely disgusting reporting.

How long until "everyone on bluesky was mean to me, I'm leaving"?
Farage and Polanski have something in common. They are both wrong about Britain.
