This is an astonishing statement, a complete fantasy. Baseless Techbro PR babble. The arts is a huge industry in the UK, raking in billions despite a huge lack of central support. Our government now appear to want to crater this to facilitate thieves. Write to your MP.

I've worked in tech policy since 1999 and every single time a politician talks about "getting the balance right" it means they're about to absolute ratfuck you.

If 20 years of research on the effects of plastics had taught me anything, it's that everyone thinks it's awful and then nothing changes.
Every single story about microplastics would, in a sane world, be sufficient to prompt a civilization-wide reconsideration of just what it is we think we are doing

"Burren Tree" One of my earlier Burren paintings, it came out of a cycling visit to my favourite limestone karst region of Ireland. I do like the other parts of County Clare, but find the Burren's stone walls on fields of stone intoxicating. #SpeirGorm #ArtAdventCalendar

Once upon a time, not the entire internet was 4chan. Only 4chan was 4chan, because everywhere else would kick you out for Doing 4chan in their spaces.

When social media sites tell you moderation has limits I want you to know there was a time when you could only find the worst people on obscure forums created for being offensive because everywhere else moderated them into those corners.

A mentality I had to grow out of in my early 20s, but “Debate me bro!” types have tricked the entire internet into thinking it’s “your job” to look at a screen and force yourself to be mad. That’s what Twitter is now.

Also every newspaper is leading with “anti Israel policies” in the headline. That allows the foreign minister to control the narrative with a blatant lie. Ireland is choosing to uphold genocide law in the highest international criminal court. That’s what’s happening here

too many people see video games as products and not as culture
everyone would appreciate games more if they followed who is creating them instead of only following IPs
real life “lore” is infinitely more interesting than fictional lore and it also helps you better understand the fictional lore too
