Like, Grok should've been taken off the air IMMEDIATELY, either by the company or by government.
happy(?) new year everyone, for my first piece of 2026 I wrote about Grok's *still*-ongoing CSAM blitz and the troubling, embarrassing silence of lawmakers in the U.S. and U.K. who've spent the past year censoring the internet for the sake of "child safety" yet are saying and doing nothing about X:
Something Abominable Is Happening on Elon Musk’s X. Everyone in Congress Should Be Ashamed.
An app the U.S. and U.K. governments use has devolved into a source of A.I. porn. Lawmakers are keeping dangerously mum.

I finished Dropsite Massacre yesterday and let me tell you, it is one hell of a ride. It’s an instant recommend for anyone interested in the Horus Heresy, and a masterclass in telling an expansive multi-POV story that respects and fleshes out each viewpoint - all in under 400 pages.

Well deserved!
Thank you to all who voted to make Dropsite Massacre the Black Library Book of 2025!

I am beyond delighted to have made the No. 10 spot in the list of Black Library books of 2025. My sincere thanks to everyone who voted for TOMB WORLD, particularly given what has been a ridiculously good year for Warhammer stories.
Looking forward to 2026!

Can we call agree that “stickers” that are actually printed onto book covers are just a bit shit?

Gonna be leaving this in 2025 I think.

It’s my 2nd attempt at the game, I’ve put about 90 hours into it in total and it’s just not fun at this point? I get such limited time to play nowadays that it feels silly to be pushing on with a game that I’m just not enjoying. Feels bad to DNF such…

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

This time of year can be hard for some of us.

Nine years ago a good friend of mine put his kids to bed on christmas night, said goodnight to his wife, went to a local park and committed suicide.

Help is out there.

Just a reminder, y’all:
If you love a book, especially an indie-published one, tell the world! They can always use the help. And the authors (and publishers) love hearing it🖤☠️

House is finally festive as we’ve put up the tree and all decorations. Did we have a Christmas film on in the background to help us along?

Nope. Dambusters.

I’ve had a procedure with drugs that mean I’m not supposed to drive/operate machinery or make any financial decisions for 24 hours.

Perfect time to go on the Warhammer webstore I’d say. Plausible deniability baybeeeeee

I’ve officially been Whamageddon’d.

Good innings this year, didn’t reach last year’s record (Christmas Eve!) but with a solid plan and training we’re confident that we can mount a real challenge next year
