Me on the way to The Rapture.

Governments always seem to brush these petitions off, frustratingly, but you've still got to push for what's right. Jumping bandwagons is transparently and cravenly self-serving rather than better representing constituents, whether or not Reform is involved. Anyway, it's his mum I feel sorry for.

No doubt I know someone who qualifies and is willing to help.

A little update of my Spectrum Next project...

This is the progress with #MSXgl after two weeks. I hope to get it ready for the #MSX Malaga Meeting next month. I'm a designer, not a coder. I'm having a hard time with the documentation, but I'm having a lot of fun. Ghosts are based on ‪@androidarts.bsky.social‬ designs.

A match made in heaven.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm high

New C64 chiptune cover just dropped! "Bad to the Bone" on the legendary SID 8580. This one's got that dirty, raw sound that only the 8580 can deliver. FULL TUNE: youtu.be/F9UvsWPnDK4?... ▶️ #C64 #Chiptune #SID8580 #RetroGaming #Music #8bit #8bitmusic #BatToTheBone #RocknRollRacing

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

SNES Prince of Persia was a wonder to behold. The Mega-CD version was no slouch either. Testament to the quality of the original game.

Do we need a new version of '...has only got one ball' for Dump and his goons? Maybe AI can write it. youtu.be/Y1DWJQkOJew?...

You see something like this in pretty much every primary school. It’s based on guidance put out by the coalition government in 2014. It’s quite an achievement by a Labour government to make a Labour voter nostalgic about the coalition government.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Here are the 13 Tried-and-True Rules for Creating Meaningful Social Change by Saul Alinksy, Rules for Radicals, 1971 on one page. None of them suggest that you should "Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt."

Whoa, look at that. A new game shop with playable consoles and arcades? In Southend? Why, yes. I'll have to go and do a trip report www.supersidequest.co.uk

hire me! I know what I'm doing 😊

I've had three hybrid cars now but whatever I drive next will run on the magical etheric force that powers the smoke detector on my landing, which continues to beep, day and night, long after all sources of electricity have been disconnected.

basically you have 3 types of commonly used dashes and they are hyphen, en dash, and em dash. In UK style the en/em dash are sometimes called ‘en rule’ and ‘em rule’. They’re called en and em because in days of typesetting yore, they’d be the same length as a typed N and typed M

This is a personal project I was working on more than 8 years ago. An unnamed arcade game inspired by the classic Pole Position. I’ve not only reopened the project, my intention is to finish it! AndI intend to share my progress. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Thanks Bing AI search! Two wrong answers for the price of one! Three really, because Tulip only appeared in one episode of Porridge, played by the late, great Michael "Oxo Dad" Redfern. Where does it get its ideas?

"Hard times are coming, when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies, to other ways of being. And even imagine some real grounds for hope." ― Ursula K. Le Guin, 2014

the Fantastic Four cast get asked about their own personal fantastic four, which leads to some canned niceties from pascal, kirby and quinn, and an insanely he knows ball answer from ebon.

If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.

If you’ve ever helped an older neighbour navigate an app, call a helpline or read a tiny screen – you’ve witnessed digital exclusion first-hand. We must stop designing systems that exclude. Kate Moore reports

What a total shitshow we're making of this world. After NFTs, AI... After AI spirals in, who knows what the next techbro investor bandwagon will be? Time to get off our keyboards and back to pen and paper.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

I always enjoy working with Paul Davies and helping with this one-shot was more fun than I expected. It'd be marvellous to have a mag going with these guys again, but that would just be a total pipedream these days... Wouldn't it...?

I guess the time for long video game dev cycles is over. Design and deliver something tight and fun in 18 months or less, before events that are out of your control take a hand and your publisher pulls your funding and closes your studio.

Gemini AI resurrecting Bowie to have an opinion on Brexit which happened 6 months after his death.

There’s only one true version. This is for the purists.

The garden is alive with Cinnabar Moth caterpillars! Never seen so many caterpillars in one place!

And yet, serious transgressions of accepted ministerial behaviour and public trust were just shrugged off by the previous government.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

everything's been downhill ever since saturday morning tv turned into boring men chopping courgettes

Finally, a joke of a calibre that could match the work of @mrbiffo.bsky.social.
