"Congratulations, you're the new James Bond. Your first mission is to put flowers on the grave of a woman one of your predecessors was married to for five minutes."

"Why? Is it a coded message or secret drop site?"

"... no. And remember to look sad."

Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.

The leader of the Green Party desiring an end to nuclear arms is about as surprising as a French teenager having an individual sense of style.

Reminds me of an office I worked in some years ago that had expensive plasma monitors connected to PCs in the meeting rooms for presentations and every one of them had "It is now safe to turn off your computer" burned into the centre of the screen.

I bought and installed Red Dead Redemption II almost 4 years ago after finally updating my PC enough to run it properly. I've applied multiple patches since then and still haven't clicked the 'play' button, not sure why.

Screenshot of the NY Time daily game, Spelling Bee, where a selection of letters is presented and the player must construct words using only those letters. The letters are arranged in a circle with another in the middle, the middle letter must be present in order to for the word to be considered valid.

In this case the centre letter is 'B' and the additional letters (going clockwise from the 12 o'clock position) are 'L', 'H', 'S', 'C', 'O', and 'K'. 

The word "BOLLOCKS" has been constructed and the game has responded with the message "Not in word list", which is bollocks, thus demonstrating the validity of the entry.

Spelling Bee is wrong again.

Ken: Hey, I'm Ken.

Ian: And I'm Ian. We're both in receipt of the B.I.A. (Basic Income For the Arts)

Ken: Hey, I'm Ken. Ian: And I'm Ian. We're both in receipt of the B.I.A. (Basic Income For the Arts)

Ken: Our last payment is in February 2026. The future of the scheme is uncertain, but we're here to talk about the past and what we've accomplished these past three years.

Ian: Thanks to the B.I.A, I have expanded my skill set and learned 3D sculpting. I bought a 3D printer to make hand painted toys of my own designs.

Ian: I can afford to repair it and spent thousands in the local economy continuing to grow and create.

Ken: As for me, I've been self-publishing small books for a while, but I now have the means to release larger books, which also gave me the confidence to run two different crowdfunding campaigns.

Ken: Without it, and after failing to return to animation, I was going to start a career in I.T. I was in a bad place with no hope for the future, but almost overnight, the B.I.A made my long struggling passion into a real livelihood. Nowadays, I can travel for events, sustain car expenses and socialise without managing my spending. In darker times, I was about to pay all the vet bills for my dying cat.

Hello! I've been one of the lucky few on the BIA these last few years, and in light of the uncertainty of its future and potential for public support, I decided to write out this comic with the help of BIA compatriot @ianfay.bsky.social to share our stories. 1/3

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

I'll go for a twofer with Michael Elphick and Neil Morrissey from Boon, later starring in I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle.

Dame Judy Dench as Lady Bracknell in the 2002 production of The Importance of Paying Attention when reading this play as part of your English O-level as there will be questions about it in the final exam and you will feel like an arse as you stumble about in the dustier corners of your memory because you didn't revise very well.

So MUCH of this comes down to anti-trans groups trying to cast toilets as sexual places.

And when anyone, as a reasonable person, steps back and considers that based on our legit personal experience, it just needs to be accepted as DEEPLY dubious, weird and fucking brain worms insane.
