🧵Quarterly post that is actually about energy policy: There was an NAO report out today about big failures of a scheme introduced by the previous government to reduce households' CO2 emissions. The scheme, ECO, obligated energy companies to pay installers to fit heat pumps, solar, insulation etc.

For a group to play Monsterhearts, the players have to accept that the Turn Someone On move will as likely as not make their characters feel attraction to more than one gender. It requires Bi-in.

Yet another wake up call about the scale & cost of #climate risk. That’s why we urgently need a National Climate Resilience Plan with emphasis on local funding, nature based solutions & community resilience - pls sign & share petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk

Every constituency projected to be at greater risk, with many areas likely to be uninsurable, Guardian investigation finds

‼️ REMOVE AIslop from your PINTEREST results.‼️
Let's see how true this is....

1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’.

(As if anyone who visits the site for reliable references would be interested in that...)

I had the pleasure of working with Rob Wieland on some portraits for his Star Trek show, he was a joy to work with and very kind. He helped shine a light on some great games and his absence will be sorely felt in the tabletop world.

Picked up a cheeky gift for a friend while at Furnace, @beckyannison.bsky.social's Wreck This Deck, because only demon summoning will solve some issues.

It's jacket weather somewhere ✨

I miss painting jackets and rocking a cool painted jacket. Lucky for me I have cool photos of my cool jackets 😌

A photo of a black leather jacket laid flat with Dungeon Master painted in pale yellow and blue on the back with a skull with antlers and dice. A lit candle, leather journal and crochet fabric is placed around the jacket.

A pale blue jacket is laid flat with Roll of Cool painted in white on the back in ornate vintage style lettering. Dice, old books, string lights and crochet lace placed around it.

A beige jacket is laid flat with vinyl records placed on and around it. Chaotic Average text is painted on the back of the jacket in white and orange with a d20 illustration in the centre.
