- When you've been searching high and low for something and still can't find it, go back to the very first place you tried and it's usually right there. You just didn't collapse the wave function properly the first time.

- How to pronounce #Cthulhu. Basically: if it's easy to say with a human mouth, you're doing it all wrong. fabledlands.blogspot.com/2026/01/myth...
- Depressing as the thought of Farage as PM is, I'd just like to take the credit for having predicted it ten years ago in CAN YOU BREXIT? sparkfurnace.com/collections/...

- "Reform" have stuck a scaremongering leaflet through the door claiming a violent crime happens in London every 2.2 minutes. It's actually more like every 6 minutes (not alarmist enough for them?) but the important point is there are 10 million people in London. Do the maths.

- #Vulcanverse just got awarded first place in narrative games for the second year running... Which was nice. mundoiludico.wordpress.com/2026/01/11/t...
- This may sound like someone we all know, but it's from a Fitz-James O'Brien story written 170 years ago. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

- I'm not the only one who likes making circuits out of story logic, I'm sure. fabledlands.blogspot.com/2026/01/flag...
- How have I only just noticed that “The Young Ones” lyrics are basically a reworking of the same argument used in “To His Coy Mistress”?

- Vinyl. Tape cassettes. Now #RuneScape? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Only a few hours left to get behind WHISPERS BEYOND THE STARS! (Forgive the squeeness, but it's my first #gamebook in nearly two years.) We're over 700% funded already, but the more the merrier. #Cthulhu #Cthulhu2050 #HPL #Lovecraft #SF fabledlands.blogspot.com/2026/01/its-...
- I guarantee you what will bring about humanity's extinction is going to be humans themselves, not AI.

- We could probably get some more funding for NASA by renaming the galaxy The Donald J Trump Milky Way. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Do you like #gamebooks that use dice (the early Dungeons & Dragons influence) or those that are more about creating a story? www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOxa...
- A world of human-level #AI and robot workers? I don't think we can call that the #cyberpunk genre any more. It's just what the next few decades are going to bring. #Cthulhu #gamebook www.youtube.com/watch?v=78kq...
- That "wake from this nightmare" #gamebook mechanic skips you back a short distance in time to have another go. In real life there could be drawbacks, as this story by E.C. Tubb demonstrates. wrong-magazine.blogspot.com/2024/11/luci...
- That question "Where do you get your ideas?" may infuriate some writers, but Pawel and I jumped right in. #Cthulhu #gamebook gamefound.com/en/projects/...
- If you're looking for a great little SF story, try Harry Harrison's "Not Me, Not Amos Cabot!" -- now over 60 years old, and yours instantly thanks to the future we actually got. wrong-magazine.blogspot.com/2025/11/unto...
- Cast your eye over this list of human-generated Christmas movies and you'll never again talk of AI slop. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Just saw a post where somebody was saying "Einstein confused speed with velocity, that's why he got everything wrong" and I finally realized the human race has gone full stupid.
- A pre-launch review of Whispers Beyond The Stars: "Modern #Lovecraft: sleek, eerie, buzzing with uneasy implication rather than melodrama [...] Every decision feels messy, weighty, and uncomfortably human." I'll take that. #Cthulhu #gamebook gamefound.com/en/projects/...
- I just saw the line "we are the true patriots" and got to wondering whether there is any slogan more sinister than that.

- Reposted by Dave Morris🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid. A pissed off thread using data. Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

- Slop in, slop out.
- Interesting point about why some people are effective at using #AI -- if you can stand venturing onto Musk's stomping ground. (And don't ever use Grok, kids. Trust me.) x.com/IntuitMachin...
- A Lovecraftian adventure (or is it Chambersian?) in which Victorian investigators get to go to Pluto. Or *part* of them does... #Cthulhu #TheKingInYellow #Carcosa #ttrpg fabledlands.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-...
- Holiday season can't start without the #Yule adventure for #Legend/#DragonWarriors. And this year's has a touch of The Box of Delights meets Frozen. #ttrpg fabledlands.blogspot.com/2025/12/wate...

- Marianna, lead artist on Whispers Beyond The Stars, talks us through the making of one of the illustrations. No AI here, folks. This is the real deal. #Cthulhu #art www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq38...
- I watched The Woman in Cabin 10. As long as humans are writing things like that, I don't think we should use the term AI slop.
- #Autism is defined by ticking off diagnostic criteria. It's not a single underlying condition that presents in different degrees. www.economist.com/science-and-...
- Whispers Beyond The Stars is 250% funded after just over a day. Which is nice. #Cthulhu2050 gamefound.com/en/projects/...
- At least #AI is getting smarter every couple of months. Humans we're stuck with as they are. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Here's me and Pawel talking about our new #gamebook Whispers Beyond The Stars in the #Cthulhu2050 series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4nT...
- A new #DragonWarriors #ttrpg adventure. Plague, fog on the moors, ghosts, pale horses, cunning folk, eerie sleepwalkers, standing stones, folk horror, deals with the Devil -- yep, that's a Legend scenario all right. www.patreon.com/posts/stolen...
- Whenever I see this kind of thing I think of old men shouting at clouds.
