Hi, I’m Ian, I’ve written stories for games for twenty years. Mostly for #Ubisoft ( #Avatar, #TheDivision, #TheCrew, #GrowHome). I mostly chat about films, TV, cats and food.
When Frank Miller was writing/drawing Daredevil in the early eighties he created a powerful narrative device which has passed onto each successive DD creative team.
The “Ninja Button”, when pressed, deposits between thirty and two hundred and four ninjas into any given story. Instantaneously.

Started watching Predator Badlands yesterday, which was fine, but felt like an adaptation of a non-existent Predator Cartoon from about 1992.
Then put on Sentimental Value on MUBI.
Whiplashed hard on Elle Fanning being in both.

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

I prefer it when ‘Traitors’ describes the TV program, not the people potentially electing the next government.
2024 Reform UK voters are also less likely to describe themselves as anti-Russia (48%) than other voters (66-79%)

I once again feel compelled to remind folks that you feel science news/new scientific developments are bad and destructive because you are not reading science news: You are reading techbro press releases, regurgitated uncritically by outlets that long ago fired all their science/tech beat reporters.

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

I've been working on a network of webrings to connect people's hobby sites! I have multiple lines that I visualize as subway lines, so I call it the Smallweb Subway!
Every station is someone's website. You can explore it here:
