I'm delighted to announce I have been promoted from a junior to mid-level Narrative Designer at SI! 🤩

Coincidentally, my son also turns 10 today, so it's a double celebration in our house. 😊

In his heart, I've always been a pretty 'mid' narrative designer anyway. 😅

"...Explolits & Emuilator Setup..." 🤦‍♂️

Sorting through this nonsense week after week is driving me insane... 😔

I spend more time vetting AI-generated books than I do cataloguing real ones onto the site 😡

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

No1 rule of great political strategy: constantly talk about your strategy, the fact it is a strategy, and that you wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't your strategy. People love this.

I just need to get through this week, and then I think I'll be okay. It's been quite a stressful time at work as of late. I'm fortunate enough to have a therapist I can speak to if I need to.

I'm really sorry to hear you're past breaking point. I know it's not much, but I'm always happy to listen.

Labour’s immigration plan in full:

- raise the salience of small boats as much as possible
- make it harder and more expensive for people to come here legally and contribute
- ???
- solve the small boats issue to rapturous applause
- markets reward their ingenuity with return to growth

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Conservative criticism of Labour I absolutely did not give enough intellectual houseroom to pre-election was 'none of these guys have ever created a job'.

Bo Jacobs Strom @bojs.bsky.social · 12h

Headlines going to the English requirements but I'd completely missed this part of the plans, yet another act of idiotic self harm. Completely incompatible with the government's stated aims on housebuilding, growth, etc.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

These are some works that convey similar emotions, depth and ingenuity as we hope Soup for Soul will 🤞
It's humbling and motivating at the same time, putting visuals of our little game next to these huge inspirations ✨

Read this sorry story about how an academic was axed from conference panels because he was deemed too interesting.

He was told no one on the panel was expected to air difficult opinions in front of MPs that could damage the oil and gas sector

Academic axed from Labour conference panel for criticising energy policy

Sustainability expert was told panellists discussing North Sea oil and gas were meant to ‘agree entirely’ with each other

An example of the government not having a project: only yesterday the government was trumpeting new measures to make it easier to build things. We'll work out who actually builds stuff later on.
