Okay folks, just a heads-up... In order to help me along with backing off from Twitter, I'm going to be unfollowing people I have on BSky, Mastodon, & Threads as part of my leaving process. If you happen to be on 1 or more of those platforms & want to keep in touch, lemme know!
Very cool, entertaining and with high production values: if I were @Nigel_Farage, I’d consider dipping into that £5 million to try to get out a video that can compare to it.
Video Games Europe lobby group (including Ubisoft) is hosting a discussion on consumer policy on video games with the EU Commission, but no one has been invited to represent consumers. This is likely an attempt to sink the ECI, but we have backup plans.

Opossums live short, difficult lives, yet they spend their nights doing work many people never see.
Most only live about one to two years in the wild. They move through backyards, forests, roadsides, and neighborhoods after dark, searching for food while avoiding cars, dogs, predators, and harsh weather. Their lives are brief, but their role in nature is meaningful.
Opossums help clean the world around you. They eat pests, insects, carrion, and sometimes even venomous snakes. They also help reduce ticks, which can carry disease. In their quiet way, they support the balance of the places they pass through.
Still, many people fear them because of how they look or because they appear at night. But opossums are usually shy, gentle animals. When scared, they often freeze, hiss, drool, or play dead because they want to survive, not attack.
Kindness can be simple. Give them space. Do not harm them. Slow down when you see one near the road. Let them keep doing the work nature gave them.
Opossums may not live long, but they leave the world cleaner than they found it.
Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.
There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...
Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.
As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.
My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.
Ladies, gentlemen, SWs fans…😝 I have explored space. I have explored time. Now… I explore distortion.
Yes. You read that correctly. I am releasing a HEAVY METAL album.
Thirty-five metal virtuosos. Thunderous guitars. Chaos with purpose. Covers of legends like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest — and a few originals forged in the same cosmic fire.
This project is, quite literally, a gathering of forces. Loud imagination. Honest intensity. Unapologetic exploration.
At 94, one does not slow down. One turns the volume up.
So prepare yourselves. We are about to boldly headbang where no one has headbanged before. 🤘
Stay tuned. The metal voyage begins this year.
On his birthday, remembering the great Tony Todd, who played Worf's brother Kurn on #StarTrekTNG and Deep Space Nine, a grown-up Jake Sisko in the DS9 episode "The Visitor," and an Alpha-Hirogen on Voyager.

Zack Polanski, "Reform UK's Zia Yusuf was full of b*llocks and I think it was important to call that out on #BBCQT"
"What has become clear about Reform UK, they're a bunch of cowards"
"Ever since Thursday night Reform UK have repeatedly attacked me online, including an interview with Piers Morgan"
"Piers Morgan is combative, but I don't think anybody can watch that interview and not conclude he comes across as anything other than silly and ridiculous"
"It's just constant culture war nonsense"
"Also when I mentioned Nathan Gill I thought I might lose the audience as many will not have known who he was"
"It's a real national scandal"
"Nathan Gill is guilty of 8 charges of bribery, of being a Russian asset, was clearly a confident, a friend of Nigel Farage"
"When Zia Yusuf was asked about him he said Nigel Farage doesn't know him"
"Nathan Gill was an MEP with Nigel Farage, he was a leader of Reform UK in Wales"
"Instead of dealing with the allegation, they have gone on culture war stuff"
I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?
The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

Republicans were so sensitive about Biden's age and infirmity, so careful to avoid making
it a topic of social media commentary, that I am certainly not going to smile at this image posted by someone less mindful of @GOP discretion..
It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.
We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.
