The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"
A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com
felt like drawing him :)
Always knock
A cropped screenshot from Madou Monogatari 2 (PC-98), showing the heroine Arle and her yellow rabbit-ish friend Carbuncle expressing shock. Carbuncle has a sort of Muppet-like look on their face, cartoon mouth open in a comical way.
Best.
Carbuncle.
EVER.
Difficult to narrow down but I think this is right.

Can report with absolutely zero surprise that I prefer arcade Cadash to Megadrive (the other version I have played)
I am admittedly bad at it 😅 good job I'm not shoving actual money into it.
If I could briefly wish at the special tree of asking for things that aren't important in the grand scheme?
Modern port of the Psychic Force series please. Ideally a fancy one but I'll take basic at this point as long as it's accessible enough so other people can find it.
It's still #RandomGameSaturday for a bit longer and I'm curling up with Cadash in bed via Evercade.
Okay it's not doing it properly but my Saturday was busy 🤣
A groggy and annoyed King is lying on her side in bed while her cat, a brown, tabby-patterned bastard, peeks his head up over her shoulder, eyes wide, with "meow" written over and over in the background. In the foreground is a clock that reads, in blue numbers, "5:38 AM" Shoutout to The Pose Archives for some help here.

How dare King try to sleep after a long night at the bar when Marron wants more food?
Not pictured: a half-full bowl in the kitchen.

And on a more serious note: don't try playing this at home, kids, because war is not a game - war, as Cannon Fodder demonstrates in its own quirky little way, is a senseless waste of human resources and lives. We hope that you never have to find out the hard way.
From the manual of Sensible Software's Cannon Fodder (1993):
It's the thing you use to coat paper in transparent plastic.
He has grumpy eyebrows, what's not to like?!
There aren't a lot of joys like having old backlog podcasts playing in the background and hearing a surprise Chris Sims. Just a nice thing to happen every now and then.
Big child picking a character for book day. Looshkin or Garfield 😅
Guess it'll be down to which cat costume is easier to sort.
Browt, a stumpy and grumpy yellow bird with a pair of green leaves and a green beak forming a monobrow.
Right then! The starters for the new Pokémon games have been revealed, so you know what that means: an exclusive, fresh off the press

I just twigged how this actually functions 😬 it feels like they know a certain subset of their long term audience are going to be incredibly susceptible to "it's a toy Gameboy but small"

Starmer has the gall to say he will fight against extremes on the left who want to tear our country apart.
The same man who's spent the last few years scapegoating & demonising refugees & immigrants & fuelling division. A despicable politician soon to be consigned to the bin.
Clever bit of subtle propaganda to rebrand gambling as "gaming", isn't it? "Play responsibly." "Hot new slot games." I can't think of anything more antithetical to the concept of play than a machine designed by bastards to suck the money out of your pocket and leave you wishing you had more to spend
Give me Pokémon Zany Cards or give me nothing
