I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

What a delicious piece of writing. I can just taste the mischievous satisfaction he had writing that second and third sentence.
The best advice I’ve ever read about cartooning. From Arthur Ferrier, in the wonderful collection of his work put together by Rian Hughes and @koreropress.bsky.social.

It's occurred to me that some people might be annoyed I haven't replied to DMs in the last six months. It's not you, it's just that the UK has forced me to give all my DNA to Epic Games if I want to reply

It's good that they've delayed GTA VI another six months, because that gives them extra time to ruin their reputation as much as possible.

Andrew has been stripped of his titles – no one should be able to hold to titles they don’t deserve.

Boycott anything Harry Potter. It's incredibly easy to do
A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

People are talking about this as an AWS or centralization issue, but really it's a symptom of a different problem of software resilience much bigger than Amazon: Almost no software of any kind accounts for the possibility that it wouldn't be successfully connected to the internet all the time.

My mum once had a lovely conversation with a stranger and came away telling me about the hockey team she'd learned about, the Toronto Make-Believes
Have been reminded of the time my girlfriend met a chihuahua called Death Row on her dog walk who turned out to actually be called Jethro.

On Wed, I leave for my final competition of the year (and maybe ever as there is a chance they revoke my Therapeutic Use Exemption next year; they are changing the rules). Today, I start the hours-long process of packing.

This is one of the things I am so angry at the media about, the way that ordinary journalists went along with their absolutely frothing at the mouth colleagues and never thought to go "Uhhh, your friends are trying to change the law, does that not make YOU the activists?"
The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.
Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.
Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird
Media: trans activist criticizes media

Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but...
1) The customer is always wrong
2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong

BT broadband and Vodafone both down, meaning no access to online news services for many in the UK.
They won't read about that in the mainstream media.

This Vodafone broadband outage has meant I'm using mobile data instead, so I don't get the benefits of my Pihole ad blocker, and fuck me I hadn't realised how bad it had got in some places. How does anyone read any newspaper website?
