I could write an essay on the fall of society based only on individuals who only put enough paper in the shared printer to print the document they need, instead of filling the machine.

Excellent effect! And good to see the Amstrad in the mix: a very good machine that often seens to be unloved. Thank you. I will add £5 to the fund-raising page! #runthemonth runthemonthme.prostatecanceruk.org/fundraising/...

Honestly, Al-Jazeera should launch 'Whiskey Tango Fox Fridays."

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Remembering the large parking lots that Metrolinx installed, lined, landscaped, maintained but kept locked at Kennedy Station, only to rip both out again. Here's the north one. It's covered in grass again. Do they have any idea of what they are doing? #metrolinx #crosstown #toronto #transit

The tiny town of Spivey's Corners has been hosting a national hollerin' contest since 1969. What the hell is hollerin'? Glad you asked! youtu.be/WiIh4jgnli4?...

Making QR Codes for C64 Print Shop, as one does ...

If people were to post their own cats to be skrunkled in the comments, I can't make any promises, but I will see what i can do.

TIL my people hail from a hilly area known as "The Range of the Awful Hand". We are absolutely *not* bandits, I promise you ...

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

No, Aiden in seat 39F, I would not wish to join your gaming team called "CHUDS" ... (Air Transat's in-flight entertainment system has some team-play games, and random people can invite you to join them. I got such a message flying back from Glasgow yesterday)

If my fav bar got bought by a Nazi who ran CSAM on a screen over the bar, screamed about trans people from behind it and hosted revenge porn nights, I’d stop going and I’d be surprised if my local reps and Prime Minister kept leaving messages I need to read on the stall door of the backed up toilet.

What was your #childhoodcinema ? ABC Muirend, aka The Toledo (1933–2001). Designed to look like a Spanish courtyard. Fairly decrepit by the 1970s. Memories of watery Kia-Ora orange drink, "Pearl & Dean presents" and badly-pronounced ads for "Anderson's of Newton Meerns" 1/5

Commuter trains with doors that opened by sliding down the window and using the door handle on the outside. Sending data by mailing a package of floppy disks or cassettes. Elevator operators.

I'm sat at a diner in the heart of industrial Etobicoke. Waitress asks if I want to see the menu. Dudes are trailing in wearing overalls from warehouses nearby. These could be signs pointing to a good breakfast in my future.

This is the best song ever written about the feeling of being online. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7b3...

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/

Here’s my age-old protest song against human nature, fired out over an enthusiastic audience at the Bowery last year. If songs are a form of prayer, who or what will answer this one? Great fun to play with this band, who give it some mercurial heft.

Last chance on these today. Tomorrow they go up on eBay. The B&L covers 4x5 (barely), the Chas A Gump will cover 5x7, the other two cover 8x10.

Line drawings from the cover of the 1963 Ladybird Book of the Motor Car (Not sure I have the the descriptions right in the alt text)

Forgotten Worlds - a retro-gaming and computer store in an unlikely location in rural Stewarton (between Glasgow and Kilmarnock) - had some neat stuff, but too big for my luggage. They did have some Pocketeers, which those of a certain age will remember fondly

#LemonPig !!

I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Rode the revamped Glasgow Underground today. Shoogliness much reduced, weird smell somewhat attenuated. 10/10, would ride again

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
