The declyne of readinge ys caused by manye thinges. A huge cause ys a systematic & decades-long devaluinge of literature at all levels of educacioun. We kan not put instrumentalitye above meaninge and still thrive. Fundinge the humanityes ys key to a just societye of well-informed citizens.

An image showing the front and back of a new wargame box called "Silvershield: Warbands clash in a folklore fantasy world" A logo indicates this is for The Woods, but a skirmish version. There is also a silhouette of a mini (which looks to be a unit waving an axe about), with "Free Ltd Ed Mini!" in white text within it.

Holy shit this The Woods new skirmish game looks sick af! £75 for the lot is reasonable given the contents.

Reform UK suspends by-election campaign activist over ‘antisemitic and misogynistic’ posts EXCLUSIVE: Adam Mitula, Reform UK’s interim campaign manager in Tameside, has been assisting Matt Goodwin's Gorton and Denton by-election campaign

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.”

When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

I loved Small Prophets, and I've rewatched Detectorists like 3 or 4 times. ❤️

Mackenzie Crook has become the antidote to Ricky Gervais's cruel comedy Crook looks for the humanity in everyone - Gervais only points out their stupidity

This this this. Give me all the art that does this. Show me the beauty and unevenness and complexity in people.

“Crook has spent the past two decades searching for the humanity in everyone”

I've been really enjoying writing these Sixty Second Stories for Gallows Corner, and I've got to say, this one is my favourite so far.

Meet Robert Daunjon, iconoclastic gravedigger!

Gallows Corner is available to back on Kickstarter: shorturl.at/km3rm

Nick Anderson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist.

You knowe the coole thinge about Gen A.I.?

Aye, me neither

Someone said to me, “it can’t be any worse!” the other day. And yes, yes it can. And it will be. Much, much worse. This is only the tip of a very grotty iceberg.

Learn how to play our latest game from our lead writer and designer himself!

🤣 Today's winner of the internet. Competition starts again tomorrow.

Seeing Sam, Wren, Michelle, and Emily bring Gallows Corner to life in a part of the country I know very well has been an absolute pleasure.

Two episodes are currently live and there's THREE MORE to come. Check them out.

Backed Gallows Corner yet? We think you should! shorturl.at/km3rm

You're in for a treat! Great books (and I've had the privilege to interview Ben a couple of times, too, and he's a great guy).
