I'm chairing a panel on the impact of generative AI on the tabletop industry this year at UKGE. One of the panelists, an academic working in AI ethics, has put together a short survey about it. If folks could fill it out that would be incredible. Thank you!

I'm so looking forward to returning to my roots and talking about The X-Files at Writing the Occult!

That would be awesome!

Oh no! I hope you're able to get the antiviral and they prevent the worst of it.

What would look at on your PhD??

Does anyone know of anywhere in #Bournemouth that sells chargers for Samsung watches? iAccessories are sold out and CEX doesn't stock them. Or has anyone at #BAFTSS2026 got one I could borrow to charge my watch at the conference?

Ah thanks! I've been out all day so just seen this.

Oh nice! That'll be an amazing gig. I've got quite a few lined up this year which is nice.

Haha sometimes you've just gotta keep looking 😂 If I get tickets it'll be a mad week, I'm seeing Garbage and Metallica as well!

Me too. I hate the fact that I won't get to see my friends and colleagues at US conferences and that scholars from other cultures are being excluded because of it.

Wish I was at SCMS this year but I hope everyone's enjoying the conference.

All's okay, just recognising past patterns and trying to nip them in the bud ❤️❤️❤️

Going for stupid walk for my stupid mental health.

That jacket is gorgeous!

I had a great time chatting with Laura and @jenkidd.bsky.social about the increasing use of AI to speak with the dead and the myriad ethical issues it can raise (especially in relation to crime and justice). Have a listen if you're so inclined!
