Warhammer, Transformers, Tabletop RPGs, assorted nerd stuff. I wanted to be a Social Justice Mystic Theurge, but turned out a Social Justice Commoner.

I've not actually said this on my account here, on account of it being underused, but:
Queerphobes, transphobes, genocide apologists, racists and Tories of every stripe (explicitly including Reform and Republicans) can go straight to hell.
Do not pass go, do not collect £200.

The world is run by people who are more cruel and more obscene than you can fathom. They're all pathetic in ways that feel like satire, and monstrous beyond your wildest imagining.

I think my favourite example of a game security flaw was in the Firefly game where the Captain Reynolds outfit DLC entirely compromised your system. It was Malwear.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

While the nostalgia factor is mostly lost on me - I stopped paying attention before Zeo was new - I've been rather enjoying the currently ongoing Power Rangers Prime comics.
(This is mostly the RPG's fault, for being the same system as Transformers and doing crossover in the GM guide.)

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.
