Imagine telling an unwell patient that you have news about their health, but it'll be 3 months until you can tell them the full diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you tease them with the possibilities. Imagine what that would do to them. That's what UK gov have done with this budget.

I'm 2 followers off 1.5K. I'd have more of that if I didn't block all the suspiciously lady-only-following accounts, but it would be nice to reach the next milestone. So if you're interested in TTRPGs, sketching, memes and snark, I'm yer woman.
Here's a Godzilla meme to tempt you in.

I have no strong position on whether dude in the beer jacket is AI-generated or not, but I will note that if it real it would only be performance art--I can think of much better pastimes than lugging around 50-100+ pounds of liquid that is slowly sapping my body heat to become undrinkably warm.

Their loss our gain, Europe (as a continent) could be resurgent.
There are multiple folks who I know personally at work who are looking for jobs overseas and/or already have interviews.
The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world.
That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.
And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

Our Northumbrian digs has tons of old DVDs and tonight’s viewing is this absolute classic. It must be 30 years since I’ve seen it and Mrs DemonSamurai has NEVER SEEN IT!!

Half term holiday at Beadnell in Northumbria and I found this book in the digs and am enjoying it a lot. Plenty about the martial & raiding tradition of the NE ‘Borderlands’ in the first 1/4 of the book. Think I’ll be buying it to finish when we return home tomorrow.

Visit to Lindisfarne today, & I’ve learnt that 140-160 people live on the island full time. It def has a Cthulhu Cult vibe about it, with plenty of locations for decaying jetties. The locals all looked totally normal, which is of course, suspicious as hell.

Today’s obsession is Northumbrian font. The style isn’t a million miles away from the way I write anyway.

2 and half hours of Conan D20 character generation for 5 players last night at a mini CottageCon in memory of our recently departed friend, oh my god its crunchy! Looking forward to bringing it to the table later this morning. On a side note, I'm pretty happy with how my arms look in this photo.

Evening peeps?
Who is your favourite ancient god? I’ve thought about today and I think it’s probably Odin. The message of making a sacrifice of one eye to gain ultimate wisdom resonates. It’s either him or the god of tits & wine, Dionysus - but I’m pretty sedate in my appetite for excess these days.
