After seven years, we are bringing Brainwaves to an end at the end of this year.
It's been a great time, and we've done some fantastic work. I won't lie, I'm still quite sad about it, but onwards and upwards to better things.
Good luck finding the next best place for tabletop news.

A lot of YouTube videos are over 8 minutes to hit the ad threshold. Which means most videos about the Louvre heist are longer than the heist itself.

My first stage combat job at The Burrell Collection yesterday, fighting with @rob-myles.bsky.social doing some Henry IV Pt. 1-ing, Swordsing and the pageantry of Wrestling.
First time fighting with one eye. A challenge to adapt in 2 days.
Thanks to the Burrell, to Rob, but not to the gambeson.

Yesterday (one month since my elbow fracture) I achieved a Pass with Distinction in Unarmed stage combat, making the ninth weapon system out of nine with the BASSC.
Thank you Stage Fight Scotland for putting up with me for a few years, to the class for amazing camaraderie.
What's next? Dunno yet.

Extra context - the BBC has previously been the subject *of* a trans rights protest for unethical coverage practices explicitly intended to misrepresent us and stoke right wing hatred. The Guardian’s come under fire for similar things.
They are very much on the side of the far right.

The fact that they have not lifted half a buttock to assist Palestine but soared like fucking eagles to rescue this barnacled creep is all the evidence we need that the government is ruderless.
Graham Linehan has argued for years that "trans activists" are the establishment that he is fighting against, yet, when he incites violence against trans people, the whole UK establishment - the prime minister, health secretary, Met police chief and the entire Uk Press - mobilise to defend him.

I watched the season 7 Simpsons episode ‘Much Apu About Nothing’ last night. It explicitly shows how anti immigrant legislation exists to shift blame onto innocent minorities and makes people act like irrational fucking monsters. It’s cool how we’ve learned exactly nothing since 1996.
