Mask of the Rose is out now on Steam, GOG and Nintendo Switch!
Lose your heart to a stolen city. Solve a murder with the help of the victim. Find love, in any form you like.
Or sack all of that off in favour of discovering the origins of the tentacle in the basement.
The quote of the film has to go to Batman, who, finding himself entangled in Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth, concedes that if he really wanted to eliminate crime, he should eliminate poverty.
Big love to @MovieMarker for publishing my review of #TheFlashmoviemarker.co.uk/the-flash/
Absolutely loved writing this piece about how situationships help me to mind my own business and be less of an annoying idiot.
Special thanks to my fantastic editor @jessaustin111 🙌🌟🙌
“I don’t think there is anything wrong with wanting the symbolic security of being in an official relationship.
However, I also think that any sense of security we get from being in one is fundamentally an illusion.”

I interviewed Martin Amis for the last edition of Word magazine in 2012. My job was to get him to divulge lessons he’d learned in life. He was surprisingly attentive, kind, not what I expected. I bet these words washed past me then. They don’t now. (I turned 45 in April.)

Missing started strong, but as the movie went on, felt less and less like a film and more and more like Apple product placement on crack.
The heroics of Siri gave me the ick.
Who else saw it and who disagrees with me?

This is your Friday reminder that not every book is for everyone—it would be a pretty boring world if that were the case!
If you’re an author bummed about a “bad” review or a reviewer bummed because you didn’t click with a book everyone seems to love, you’re doing fine!
And yet, the author of the work is never paid for their work, or their ideas. The reviewers of the work are never paid. But the publisher becomes the owner of that work forever, and is paid billions per year for access to that work.
THIS. Paywalled academic journals are an exploitative racket. They do not create any value whatsoever, they only take and hoard the work of others.
What would happen if we all just… stopped participating..?

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

There are interesting discussions on the dominant views of robotics and AI, which are of course biased too. There is a great quote from @rodneyabrooks: AI researchers consider intelligence as the ability to tackle “the things that highly educated male scientist found challenging”
