I will be the first to admit that this wasn’t as fun as the last season, because of all the rumours about what was going on behind the scenes. Obviously that ended up leaking into the gameplay and yeah… there was some nasty discourse for a day or two, which I tried hard not to engage with. But I still greatly enjoyed the vast majority of this season and everyone involved!

Sad to see Bella go out so early. :(

I am so glad Maya did so well. She was on my radar because I still remember a casually racist comment someone shot at her back when Twitter was a thing, saying “her name sounds like what JK Rowling would name a POC.” Now more people know her name AND that she has INCREDIBLE taste in weird clothes!

Predictably, the winners’ chosen charities have pissed off the gammon:

The ITV Reform documentary

Jesus Christ I am desensitized. These people were saying the most horrible, Nazi-like things and all I could think was “this is just an average day on Facebook.”

On the other hand the documentary does seem to have quieted the really hardcore racists, if only for a while-


I hoped the guy who openly admitted to wanting to molest his hypothetical daughter might have gotten a bit more negative attention in the media, but not in ol’ Blighty.

During the flag madness of 2025 the Reformers of my village zip-tied flags to all the lampposts and just left them there. Their patriotism did not extend to doing any kind of work, so now whenever anyone enters the village, they’re greeted by torn, greying flags flapping limply about.

Death penalty

The other week America tried to execute someone with Christ in their name, and were utterly unmoved by her resurrection. Quite surprising for Christians…well, maybe not. Now they’re moving onto public executions. No-one can say Suicide or Sex or He Killed People or He Raped People on social media but we can watch a man getting shot.

Privilege

It is exactly one month since I lost my job. I am VERY lucky because, to put it bluntly, my family is wealthy. The house is paid off, my holiday was paid off before I lost my job, I’m not going to starve or become homeless in the year or two it will no doubt take to find a job. I am lucky beyond my wildest imaginings to have a supportive family and not live in a place where healthcare is tied to employment. But there’s so much stigma associated with being unemployed and I feel like such a leech. I start doing volunteer work tomorrow and I’m going to throw myself into it as much as possible, but I can never shake the feeling.

Good Omens 3

(huge spoilers ahead)

That was Nice but I wish it was a little bit more than Nice. Jesus was bafflingly underused which is a shame because Bilal Hasna was EXCELLENT. I did like that they managed to sneak a tiny cameo in of Adam the Antichrist seemingly maybe dating Jesus in the rewritten world!

Everyone is so mad about the ending but I’m not. Asa and Anthony are Aziraphale and Crowley in every way that matters as far as I can see, they’re a cosmic fanfiction turned canon, it really worked for me. I accept it might not work for everyone.

I don’t know. I’m fine with what we got, but I probably would have been fine if it really had ended at season 2. There’s just something so, I don’t know, meta-poetic about a pair of fictional lovers separated forever because their God turned out to be a rapist.

Pokopia

It’s the APOKEALYPSE!

Pokopia is at its core a very sad game, far sadder than I expected, but I had a ton of fun playing it. It scratches the itch left behind by Animal Crossing perfectly.


My favourite feature was the camera, as always.


Look at all those little guys! All my favourites in one place… Except Spheal. WHY DID THEY NOT INCLUDE SPHEAL. Maybe for the DLC?

Oh I forgot to mention, I also hopped back on Pokemon Go for the first time in a very long time to collect the Pokopia Ditto.
