For those of you who have heard about the allegations against Neil Gaiman, but aren't across it well, or at all, this post by Annabel Ross is a good rundown of it, and the pros and cons of Tortoise Media and how they went about it.

It was kind of fun - I kept thinking of Patton Oswalt's version as I played him (he's got to bring up the loyalty of AIM to the point where they'll work on the Cosmic Cube.)

With Oz Perkins having such a moment I’m hoping people rediscover this one, a really atmospheric dark fairy tale that had the misfortune to be a pre-COVID January dump, the intersection of “this movie does not exist”

Board game design (and general) mentorship advice: I know a middle-aged dude assigned to mentor two young women designing games. He thoughtfully asked if I had any advice, wondering about blind spots. I posed his Q to a group of women and I thought they had some really good advice. 🧵👇 🎲✂️

Great game - managed to play a game of it at a con. Lost badly like I do with most trick takers.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

Get a small microsd card for the OS and a big one for the games. There’s a 64gb firmware image I installed which already has a stack of games on it. I’m using a 128gb card for the games.

So happy I can play Silent Hill (for the first time) on my RG35XX-H handheld (Herbie for short) at lunchtime in the food court at work.

I think that's one of the things preventing a cinematic Modesty Blaise franchise happening. Modesty and Willie have one of the all time great genre platonic relationships (something apparently disregarded in the Ann Turkel pilot.)

There was a weird SF spinoff from Elementary - Limitless the TV series which was full of all the kind of stuff they couldn't get away with on Elementary (including a tribute to Ferris Bueller's Day Off.) A show that was so much fun it could only last one season.

The wild thing about this is that Starmer, once the top lawyer in the UK, is just plain wrong about this. The equality act is clear about this and there are multiple examples of case law stating exactly that trans women have the right to use single-sex spaces aligning with their gender identity.

As a board game nerd - if it's the Prospero Hall game it's worth playing. However you probably need to play it with all four players. The highlight of the last game I played was playing with a water policeman, who had a professional insight into sharks (though he wasn't playing it.)

Have bought too many films from an Arrow Films sale Again For the curious they are: Daisies, River, Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea, and finally Zokki (a film I know very little about but looked like it needed to go in the collection.)

I honestly don't remember much of it, except for how much of the virtual landscapes of Azeroth appeared intact on screen. It was a bit disorientating.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Tried that (I have a smartdns service that I access the BBC with.) BBC works - Channel 4 doesn't. Tried it with a VPN and got soundtrack only with still frames.

I’ve deleted my Facebook account. I’ll have to deal with the social and informational fallout somehow but I can’t remain in an increasingly abusive relationship.

Just discovered Beyond the Door 2 is otherwise known as Shock - Mario Bava's last film (written by his son.). Very much worth watching with one of the all time great jump scares.

To my mind Channel Zero ties with The Terror as one of the best of the recent horror series. Wish it was more seen and influential.

Thanks. Weirdly it's in our library catalogue but there appears to be a blanket licence that we haven't signed up for. I'm assuming, due to budget constraints, we've cut back on various licences through Kanopy. It's an odd omission though.

I work at a university -but there's been a number of films unavailable to me that have been available to others. I'll have to see if I can use a public library authorisation.

Come to think of it - cocaine gave me a headache and kept me awake long enough to really appreciate it. And Hookers? I'm just not that much of a Rugby Union fan.
