Very old-fashioned and longing for a return to 1800s values like feminism, socialism, and veganism. #BuyFromEU
- "I wonder if I will be able to run the new Tomb Raider game", I think as my ancient computer groans and sweats like a box of k'nex and bologna. [image: scene from Jon Watts' 2004 short "Worst Computer Ever"]
- Do you remember when Watchmen (2019) was criticised for depicting a masked and unaccountable police force terrorising US citizens? Did I dream that? Am I dreaming even now? #filmsky
- When my players ask if we are doing another gd mini-game. #ttrpg
- it is a truth universally acknowledged that nothing is more hot or cool than a man stumbling his way through boasting "I have a large you-know-what"
- I got this mix to add to lazy soups. Anyone have experience with it or have a similar product to recommend? (Freeze-dried red onions, cilantro, and garlic with lemon peel, tomato, red chili, cumin.)
- Is Fallout is worst TV show I have ever watched? It can’t possibly be, yet that was my feeling while watching it.
- Huge news and I couldn’t be happier for one of my favourite tech journalists.
- Some personal news. For real. After 12 years at @wsj.com I’m leaving. I’m starting my own consumer tech media company, building a new home with the same mission I've always had: help real people navigate the tech changing their lives + have fun while doing it. Sign up! www.thisismynexthing.com
- I guess I am going to start quoting Jes fucking Staley when I tell people I see feminism as a political ideology and movement both absolutely vital and utterly defeated.
- I don’t know Jack White’s music but I do know him as maybe the only man I have ever seen talking up goth women artists without sexualising them.

- There is a certain irony to spending so much time fearing ageing and cognitive decline and then what gets me is constant knee pain shattering my ability to focus.
- I swear i was going to write something about Occitan music and ended up ranting about Ridley Scott.
- Utterly baffled to learn that the American film Blackhawk Down (2001) used a Breton-language (France) traditional ballad for their racist, revisionist drama about US soldiers in Somalia. Have a listen because Denez Prigent and Lisa Gerrard are exquisite here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjLX...
- I used to write about journalists that were disappeared or murdered, often women covering organised crime in South America, and had to stop because it was incredibly traumatising. Anyway, healthy democracies don't arrest journalists.
- Loot that drops after defeating me: - hard cover dictionary of obscure sorrows - the sound of a raven laughing like a russian grandfather, as it dissipates in the wind - stalogy A6 notebook
- Cuando escucho a una multitud gringa coreando “fuck ice”, oigo que resuena la esperanza y siento que el optimismo se me despierta. When I hear an American crowd chanting “fuck ice,” I hear hope ringing out and I feel optimism stirring within me.
