He/Him
Neuromancer is forty years old so does miss a lot of things, but one thing it gets right is that cynicism can be much easier to exploit by hostile actors than naivety.

"As the Army, you play a cabal of deranged lower and middle officers who joined the army as a fallback when their promising careers as serial killers failed to get off the ground."
Absolutely lost my shit at this co-op mode for Hearts of Iron, which you play as the Army, Navy, Emperor, and Government. All have their own win conditions aside the Government, which lost the game automatically in 1925.

The best thing about Bluesky is that nobody has talked about the Hyrox incident yet.

Govt’s “legitimate concerns” rhetoric and abject failure to crush these thugs continues to legitimise and embolden them.

Blood is already on their hands, yet they do fuck all for fear of arriving the odious racist toad. Cowards who don’t deserve to be in government.
What on earth is happening?

Reminds me of when I complained about cyclists riding on pavements round schools being dangerous and the Cycling Mikey guy called me a sp*stic.
Suggesting, as a pedestrian, that some cyclists are awful pricks for riding on pavements / running red lights / zebra crossings is about the most foolish thing you can do on here, worse than the big discourse issues, or being rude about The Clash or vegans.
The only thing that moves faster than some dickhead riding an e-bike on the pavement is the #notAllCyclists who will jump into the replies of a pedestrian who complains about it.

Only came across the Black Spiders a couple of months ago, so very excited for this.
My excitement is growing - behold the 1st draft of my next #books cover! A combined history of all the British #African contribution to #Burma in #WW2. An exciting tale of bravery that underpins many modern African armies. #blackhistory

Genuinely have no interest in Trump's view on North of Ireland, just as I have no interest in his view on the Falkland Islands. He hates UK Labour and the UK as he consumes all the far-right Neo-Nazi propaganda about how "the country has fallen" and will tailor his view based on that belief.

One of the closest matches ever. Surrey need 7 from 8 balls against Somerset to go to the final. If they dont, Somerset qualify.
