Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always β€οΈ

Floresheim hasn't been a recognizable name in shoes since 1986 and I am 99% sure it is now a house brand at JC Penney, which perfectly captures the headspace of someone who is rich, cheap, and whose worldview hasn't materially changed since the last Reagan Administration

WTF. Just been informed about an AI-based digital consulting platform where folk can allegedly pay $80 per hour for consolation with me about game design.

A man wearing a white hard hat, yellow high-visibility jacket and safety harness stands on an elevated platform reaching high into the branches of a pear tree to pick fruit. A white bucket is at his feet to collect the harvest.
A group of people stand around a pear tree on a sunny day. They watch as a person on an mechanical elevated platform picks pears from the highest branches of a tall tree against a blue sky.
A green pear on a table that has just been picked is photographed close-up. The leaves of the tree are still attached to the stem of the fruit and its lit by bright sunlight casting a shadow of the pear on the table.
To mark National Tree week 2026, we want to recognise the importance of the historic pear tree at The Digital Hub. Itβs estimated to be aged in the range of 150 to 200 years old, and it still bears fruit!
Ireland used to be great at creating our own silly moral panics. Now we import them from the yanks.
The discovery of the man, who was wearing nothing but a Β£200 XXL wetsuit, sparked extensive police searches and international appeals, but no loved ones have ever come forward.

In today's episode of 'BBC journalists misunderstanding stuff': at the start of this article I wondered what the price of the wetsuit had to do with it, then towards the end all became clear.
