@nationaltrust.org.uk Hi. I'm a member and want to submit some feedback.
I rarely use cards these days and have a habit of loosing my NT card, as it's rattling away in my pocket during visits.

I have been using ios26 since its main release and it’s the worst experience I’ve had since switching to Apple with an iPhone 3s. Liquid Glass is dreadful; controls are either hidden until you do a ‘special’ gesture or too hard to read unless you use some ‘accessibility’ feature.

Just watched the first episode of the new BBC series of Walking With Dinosaurs.
Hugely disappointed.
The CGI is far behind that used in Apple's Prehistoric Planet and the story feels like a Disney production for children.
A shame that Apple show no interest in making more Prehistoric Planet 😢

Not a great advertisement for the Texas State Lottery. I don’t see how it’s legal to retroactively change the rules edition.cnn.com/2025/05/24/u...

BUA for O Group and CDTOB. Spent some time designing and printing two templates. One for a brick pattern and one for the zone markings. Each piece is 6” square. Quite pleased with the results.

Today I regretfully cancelled my subscription to Wargames Illustrated. I’ve been a digital subscriber for some years but they have stopped pdf downloads - and I just can’t stand the experience of reading in a browser. Hope that @wssmagazine.bsky.social doesn’t go the same way 🤞

Good review of an undervalued set of rules. 👍
I enjoyed the games of HoTT I played - although it was many years ago.

#wargames review that lord knows nobody asked for. I'm fully aware that this article on HOTT will _not_ age well due to the heavy-handed, stupid, and kinda juvenile HOTTOGO joke.
I offer zero apologies.

Does anyone have clarity on what’s happening with the battlemat company Tiny Wargames? I’ve received emails from a gmail account purporting to be from them that links to a wix website that then wants people to order on a different website for a company called warmats. Very confused.
