I don’t know how common it is to get your poetry in print, even the smallest sample, but I’m truly grateful ❤️

Shipped together with the beautiful deluxe dissection of our Ultros from @gaminginthewild.com and @lostincult.co.uk.

Someday, there might be more 🌱

A large single page comic illustration. We look down on a woman in a jumpsuit and work vest, sitting on the edge of a fountain, dipping a red glowing bottle into the dark water. An open red bag rests at by her feet. At the top of the fountain is a huge stone head, a sleeping face carved from the cliff behind the fountain, with water pouring from its mouth into one small pool before flowing into the larger base of the fountain.

A woman in a practical jumpsuit and vest sits in the foreground while behind her a crowd in similar gear move under a large stone tower with stained glass windows, built around a huge pipe rising off-panel. Beyond that rooftops recede to a distant dark wall under an iron sky of pipes

A four panel page, showcasing a tall long armed and long haired slender man with black artificial eyes as he crawls through the depths of an industrial super structure before emerging onto one of its walkways outside under a dark green sky pierced with light by a red sun. He walks to the edge of the structure's walkway and looks down into a distant sea.

This Jack White "backlash" is preposterous. An entirely manufactured controversy over nothing.

Yeah, all he said was that it's become popular for songs to have autobiographical elements, particularly pertaining to high-profile break-ups – which is entirely true – and then said he personally doesn't find that particularly interesting to write about, which is a perfectly normal opinion to hold.

My deluxe copy of Outer Wilds: Design Works arrived from @lostincult.co.uk over the weekend and, damn, it's lovely—which seems only fitting, as Outer Wilds is one of the most creative and beautiful games I've ever played.

If you're in any way local to Panic you should totally do this. I got the chance to play Big Walk for a few hours last year and it was pretty much the most fun I had playing video games in 2025

I just think the expense of something like that sequence one generation on is going to have the people holding the purse strings frowning and shaking their heads

Alan Ritchson's Netflix joint War Machine (timing!) is fun at first, and impressively pitiless – you know the supporting cast is in trouble when everyone has a number rather than a name. Set-pieces are decent, supported by better-than-usual FX, but the script is *begging* for a Shane Black punch-up.

Major design flaw in humans that the most effective cure for a pounding headache is exercise, i.e. the thing you least want to do when you have one

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Down to five copies of The Console left here, on hand - copies I can sell to you for £15 posted.

Cheers to people who've bought a copy over the last week - I lugged them up the hill to the post office yesterday, so they're on their way to you now.

Want a copy? Lmk, and it can be done.

everything, for me, is about staying safe and keeping two broken kids with complex needs safe normally enough but definitely in a “umm, and me too? What do *I* do” thing now.

Thanks for getting us this far and I’m so sorry.
