Saw this on X.
Merlin Strategy, run by Scarlet Maguire (formerly of JL Partners) is Farage's favoured polling company. Until very recently, registered at the same address as the Brexit Party's old one.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Really hoping that anyone making a "Games to look forward to in 2026" list hasn't forgotten about our game, Forbidden Solitaire, which is due out early in 2026.

"Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains."
Can't believe this wasn't my first thought...
Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins is a solid gold masterpiece; & seeing them live on the album tour was probably the best gig I ever went to.

Not sure it really qualifies as an album, but "Earache presents Earplugged" (an album length sampler of Earache records' artists) has been a staple in my collection since 1994 - and it only cost £1.99!

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

I love that one of the devices most home bakers live by is a stand mixer. It does absolutely nothing you can't do by hand, but have you ever had to repeatedly mix or whisk something by hand? I'd simply rather die. 🤣
