That EE Broadband ad where a mum disconnects her kid’s game just as they are reaching the end of a level is just… horrible? Definitely puts me off getting any of their products!!

If this was back when we used to do silly blogging community events, there is no way I wouldn’t have organised an event which was basically a fictional version of Traitors, where the Traitors house is filled with video game characters. No idea how this would work but I am obsessed with the idea 😂

I may be the only person that has ever bought a Star Wars themed beer because it had loads of unintentional Persona references on it and didn’t even realise it was Star Wars themed until googling it later 😅

They changed a bunch of stuff with the music. I’m not sure exactly what but it has new mixes and vocals on some tracks with a different singer.

Which is better is absolutely a matter of taste, but for me the stuff where they replaced Yumi Kawamura was much less good!

I’ve just seen that the tracks with Yumi Kawamura on vocals are being released as a patch for Persona 3 Reload 🎉👏

Maybe I should actually play it now 🤔

It’s spooky season, but let’s not make it scary for wildlife! 🎃👻

Fake web decorations can trap and injure our garden wildlife. Stick to sustainable, indoor decorations and let real spiders do the work outdoors!

Share these tips & help spread awareness 👇

An orange poster with the warning “Beware! Fake Webs = Real Risks for Wildlife” written at the top in bold, accompanied by a small, friendly-looking spider hanging from a web. The text explains that fake web decorations can trap and harm birds, small mammals, and even toads. A cartoon owl and spider deliver the message, with the spider humorously saying, “This is all natural!” in front of its web, and the owl encouraging people to avoid fake webbing for a spooky yet wildlife-friendly Halloween. The overall tone is playful but highlights an important caution for Halloween decorating.

In the Paradox Live audio dramas there is this line that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about:

‘If you always look away from the things you don’t want to see, you’ll miss everything.’

I’m not sure why but this seems really important and yes you should all get into Paradox Live!

Hello everyone 😀 This is a picture of my friend. His name is Mr Bubblegum! He asked if I could take a photo of him and share it on the internet because he believes he is looking very handsome and he wants everyone to get the opportunity to appreciate him 🐦❤️ #birds #birdsofbluesky #chaffinch
