Good take, well done. But then look at the third post in the thread for the behind-the-scenes detail in how they were made. Someone put in the *work*.

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

So many visions of the future are already proven false. We didn't have Star Trek's Eugenics Wars in the 1990s. No flying cars in 2015 — sorry, Back to the Future.
In my latest newsletter, I explain why it's good for future visions to come with an expiration date.

This is wrong, I think, but it makes me want more examples of things that are "3D" but it's not the usual 3.
All chess is 4D chess that's why they have that time clock thingy.

There's a little in-office happy hour this evening and it says no special occasion but I'm pretty sure the occasion is "no meetings with the Americans this evening", so I'm thankful for that.

In the BIG screen at the cinema for Wicked Part Two and it is pretty full on a weeknight.
I think I'll enjoy it more with a big audience, it's a Spectacular.

Use, and I cannot state this enough, libraries. UK/RoI authors get paid for library borrows. More than you'd think!
I’m just going to block anyone attempting to justify or excuse pirating books. Times are hard, yes, but absolutely NO ONE needs to steal books. Libraries exist. There are umpteen works legitimately in the public domain. You don’t need to take income from authors trying to scrape a living.

Book club tomorrow and it's a book of short stories so I'm going to do "read a story, do a little job, read a story" and NOT stop in the middle of any of the stories.
The whole book is like 170 pages and I'm not going anywhere today so it should be fine.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like.

It honestly does seem to me that Labour should raise income taxes, including on people like me. I am willing to pay my share if it means some hope of a functioning state that can achieve things rather than lurch perpetually from one crisis to another forever in damage mitigation mode.
