I'm quite looking forward to it but we weren't mega keen on another trip abroad for a gig. We've done two Ayreon shows in Tilburg the last few years and I think we'd rather just put the money towards an actual holiday this year as the costs soon add up when you factor in all the travel and hotels on...

Looks absolutely barmy. Can't wait.

Just FYI guys but the server costs have gone up by £750,000 this year. So any donations are much appreciated.

100% the post-ww2 consensus was just firmly blown to pieces. That was the biggest diplomatic catastrophe I think we will see in our lifetimes. The US doesn't even act like that with it's adversaries, let alone supposed allies. I still can't quite believe what I saw. Trump and his far right Christian...

Why would you invite someone to sign an unfavourable deal which doesn't really offer much direct support and then absolutely lay into them in front of the entire world though? The art of deal indeed. Supposedly it was Trump who asked Zelenskyy to leave without signing the deal too. So he has activel...

I suspect the entire thing was a trap to get him in front of cameras so they could bully the shit out of him and then use him refusing to sign the deal as justification for dropping all further support for Ukraine and lifting sanctions on Russia. Zelenskyy showed remarkable restraint given the absol...

He's just done exactly that. Conference cancelled and Zelenskyy is leaving early.

Agreed, Phlebas would make a great adaptation to screen because it is fairly straight forward and I think the plot is barmy enough that it would keep people engaged quite easily. I always thought that Player of Games was one of the weaker entries in the series, even if it does do a better job at set...

I think there is hope for us to come away from this entire thing in a position of strength. It was never going to be easy to combat the propaganda and misinformation campaigns that far right agitators are peddling on social media with the support of their tech oligarch friends, but a move to directl...

He did that before Farage and Truss delivered their speeches and they seemingly weren't phased enough by it to decide it might be better to pull out. I believe Truss was actively imploring a foreign power come and overthrow the UK government during her speech actually. Even the French far right repr...

Oh don't get me wrong, I drink them purely out of necessity when it's before 6am and nowhere else is open. They're normally a solid 3.5/10 coffee, but the new lids really surpass themselves at bringing that down to a new low.

I had a coffee from McDonald's with a paper lid this morning when I had a super early start with work. It tasted like drinking through a toilet roll tube. Let the world burn if it means I don't have to drink anything like that ever again.

The theatrical cut also doesn't explain how the Palantir randomly ends up at the foot of the tower under the water. Pippin just wanders over and picks it up because the glimmer of it catches his eye. It's a bit messy.

It was destined to come down at some point. A significant amount of their current value is based on the hype they generated by bullshitting about AI. All of the tech companies have been overvalued way beyond what they're actually capable of doing with the technology at the moment. But yeah, I suspec...

Musk simply bankrolls his companies with money he obtained from owning PayPal, which incidentally he bought with money given to him from his daddy's slave mining operations. One look at the guys deluded outbursts on his social media platform tells you he's an absolute bloody idiot. And a dangerous o...
