Alright lads, just my periodic reminder that I've not binned twitter or anything, just still hammering away at a keyboard round the clock and not really got much brain left around the edges. Hope you all have a good week xx
When I return I am going to have a flowing white beard and Gimli is going to totally lose his shit
Also if anyone has suggestions for how to maintain concentration that don't involve military grade amphetamines I'm here for it. Bloody love what I'm working on, but I've been burning hard for a couple of months and the fuselage is starting to rattle

PSA for anyone keen on buying my big book of fictional video games - Amazon seems to be dispatching them a bit late for Christmas, but Waterstones can get them to you on time! waterstones.com/book/100-best-…
I have _no idea_ how Amazon works. I was delighted when loads of people RTed stuff about 100 Games this week, but Amazon taking 1 week plus to ship is disappointing. I can cope with the responsibility of marketing my published work, but I feel a bit powerless over distribution!
FWIW, I'm really sorry I keep coming out here on the beg for you all to buy the book. The truth is, for authors who aren't massive names, 90% of marketing after launch month comes down to us peddling our wares online, hoping we don't alienate folks by talking like salespeople.

If you're still shopping for christmas, this book will sort out everything for 8 quid. It's 100 completely fictional games, reviewed in depth & illustrated by professional games artists, and the person retweeting this will tell you just what a laugh it is: amazon.co.uk/Best-Video-Gam…
Thrill at the groundbreaking annelid business simulation of WORM SALESMAN '84!
Sob at the deep, deep personal pain on display in GRIEF COPS!

Just had my first proper advert dad moment going through departures at berlin-tegel. After 5 minutes of confusion over what to do with the baby's pushchair, the security lads politely commanded me to fully disassemble it, as a massive queue of waiting businessmen watched on.
We'd already held everyone up for ages, so I was feeling acutely anxious, & suddenly the pressure of the moment folded some valve of my brain completely shut. I forgot all my German, most of my English, & every conception of the pushchair as something more than an abstract shape.
I was just sort of pawing at the joints of the thing, making quiet, plaintive honking sounds - all my memory of the infernal engine's folding mechanism had vanished like snow before piss, but I figured I could postpone humiliation by at least *miming* that I was putting it down.

Still hammering away on this sermon:
For two thousand years, Christians have read these texts through the story of Jesus and seen him in them to the exclusion of their original contexts.
But it is those original stories that teach us God is trustworthy, God is with us, and God is our salvation. In this season of gift giving it is worthwhile to remember that the gift of scripture is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
It speaks to us in each generation without losing the meanings it has held for previous generations, even when those meanings don’t fit our world or our circumstances.

In the name of the cursed warrior, the one who is a silent and timeless observer, powerful transplanetary communicator and the future narrator....let there be Truth...!
It was a regular day somewhere in the Deccan Valley. Just before the dawn in the overcast sky. The Leader who fought his way to the throne and defeated all formidable enemies of the Holy Land looked towards the sky as he was walking down towards the river for prayer rituals…
"Oh Parameshwara, be merciful...give me strength to take on and defeat the enemies of the Holy Land and stay with the Truth!"

A prayer zoomed passed his mind and soul...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

Are the TV news media actually culpable for today’s terrorist attack by constantly reinforcing a narrative where any criticism of Islam is forbidden? Must be silenced on the grounds it is, bigoted, racist, Islamophobic, or insert your own favourite buzzword here now. Thread 1/13
So after a news cycle of seemingly never-ending Boris bashing by all of the major UK TV stations over a joke made at the expense of a religion, whose adherents we are constantly informed by the same TV stations are all peaceful and not suffering from mental health issues. 2/13
Or in the case of the suicide bombers “we may never know their true motivation” even when this is in fact not the case, fortunately no-one was killed this time, which makes a very refreshing change, but that appears to have been more down to luck than anything else. 3/13

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:
