It's like -2, and the wife, the cat and I are just in a ball of warm. Normally I'd turf the cat out of the bedroom because he gets restless and starts climbing shit while meowing, but I don't have the heart tonight, it's too cold.

My Christmas break is finally over, but it's been pretty productive. Zero Wing Neo Geo port is nearly complete! Just a few bugs and CD support to wrap-up then we're done!. Here's a level show reel. youtu.be/bExxCZtayNk

I expect game decompilations and N64 Recompiled to be one of the big topics in the retro scene this year, so I've launched an ongoing project: keeping track of them on a page that's as nicely laid and useful out as I can make it!

The Last Starship's story is absolute bollocks. I mean, the plot is just mental, even for Star Trek, even for a comic book. But somehow it pulls it off, I love it.

News piece about blood being delivered to hospitals and clinics via drone just made me think of one thing. Vampire Just Eat.

Brainstorming ideas for a future story: Vampire serial killer in WW2 occupied France Nikos Kazantzakis Duesenberg Coupé Simone Midnight Ghost Golem Steampunk Nazi Ghostbusters Gary Sparrow? Placeholder chapter title "Gestapo OCD and the Juicy Giant" "Chapter 5 - Yvette in Bondage"

Reasons to be cheerful? What about the first Stewart Lee column of 2026. "I feel for the police, who as well as taking down details of robberies....now have to act as experts in semantics. That's what I call multitasking." How do we live in a world where the meaning of words changes over time.

News broke that a paedophile was living in a flat a short distance away from a school. Town residents took matters into their own hands and kicked down his door. They've since been arrested and he's been moved on to pastures new. Funny old world.

Morning Sheep Time Even more snow today. Sheep all indoors, although they came out for biscuits and to wonder where all the grass went. Obvious pony remains obvious. Hay bags refilled as I doubt they are going to venture out much! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcX87LBje2s

Because I could not stop for Bond, he kindly stopped for me. The Aston Martin held but just ourselves, and Sean Connery.

Favourite humorous greeting card.

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling. I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.

Ian Brown's looking well

This is the first thing I have understood: Time is the echo of Leprechaun in the Hood

Might have invented a whole new word there, disremembering, but I'm going to delete that because fuck my eyes.

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law. After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

Morning Sheep Time Snowy morning today. How are we going to find the sheep? Panda's nose should show up at least. Pony lurking in the stables because her cover is totally blown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrcrc759VkU #defaidodon #sheepofMastodon #sheep

What did Bloggo get up to over the last 12 months? Mind your own business, that's what! But! If you want to know what he's been playing, take a look here! youtu.be/Ve1pkgy938s

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Hey everyone here is a quick update from Tess. I figured it would be easier to read this way than a bunch of posts.

Whoever this so-called doctor is they need to have their medical licence revoked.

2026? Surely it's future time enough for... www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCTj...

This is so sad that a master artist is in this situation. Please help if you can.

DING DING! It’s time to start the year with a Nightbussin’ adventure (picked from the Patreon pocket of content) as Paul & Eli take on London’s LONGEST night bus route… The N89! Share/Rate/Review www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-468-night... @e-loud.bsky.social

This is of course a classic, but every time I see it I want to hear the cover, and it's not out there, and I'm sad.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy (Genuinely, no cheating, and it's pretty damned accurate!)

In Mexico, worcestershire sauce is called “English Salsa”, which is probably the best low-key culinary shade-throwing I’ve ever seen in my life

Was out doing a shop the Saturday after Christmas and the aisles were rammed with strange smelling people. The wife pointed out that they were probably all using their new aftershaves and perfumes, so we spent the rest of the trip trying to identify what they were...

Morning Sheep Time A drizzly start to the new year, various sheep needing a spray, a drooling pony, Panda needing his cuddles and some of the boys ogling next door's ladies. Happy new year all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KylouDoMjLY #defaidodon #sheepofMastodon #sheep

Steve Hanley is drinking with Mark E Smith in a Detroit Hotel Bar. Mark has some news for Steve. The Big Midweek: Life Inside The Fall audio book, narrated by Stewart Lee, is available on Audible, Amazon and Apple Books.

Happy New Year all. I'll give you the final Morning Sheep Time of 2025, as I didn't get round to posting the link last year. Enjoy some wool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HBY5_1Zq4s #defaidodon #sheepofMastodon #sheep

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels. In honor of that, what's your favorite music video? youtu.be/3APmUsa5w3w

Anyone else get really emotional when they smell clean sheets? What's going on there?

"Korean eating phenomenon has false teeth fitted after huge 37k calorie food intake "wears down her teeth"" Chinny reckon.
