Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books, pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lot of fun

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

in 2025, the entire world spent $2.63 trillion on its militaries. if that money was spent on welfare, infrastructure, and quality of life instead, it would eliminate hunger and poverty. war is holding us back. as a society. as a species. as a planet.

The unspoken third phrase in "Bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus ..." is "...and all the Jews die" but they skirt over that bit of the mythology.

A lime bike, or similar, mostly encased in concrete -- the kind of thing that future mudlarks might puzzle over, assuming the world doesn't end this year.

A woman holds an arrow with a sharp iron point. It's moulded from a Norman arrowhead she found on the Thames foreshore. Behind her are people listening to her speak: on the table in front of her, various finds she's described. Part of the 'Secrets of the Thames' exhibition at the Museum of London, Docklands. Also features the Battersea Shield, the Waterloo helmet and a lot of modern artwork inspired by the finds.

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives

If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

A round wooden table (rather damp) on which are a drinks can, a black steaming cup of coffee, and a small discbound notebook on top of a larger fancier (Emma Shipley) notebook. In the background: sunlit plants and a brick wall. Not shown: the photographer, sitting on a bathmat on a damp wooden chair.

Shadow Man

I love the secret feature at Nine Elms London Underground station that reveals itself during a sunny day.

If you arrive at the perfect moment, the roundel logo is beautifully projected onto the floor. A great place to capture shadows.

In the centre, bold white and yellow text inside a yellow rectangular border reads: “London stands united with the people of Ukraine.” Below, smaller white text says: “On the fourth anniversary of the invasion.”

Four years on from Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, London’s solidarity with the people of Ukraine remains unwavering.

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

For four years, Ukraine has endured a full-scale invasion—and refuses to break.

Through loss and daily hardship, Ukrainians remain united and determined, defending their sovereignty and values despite the immense human cost.
