My MiSTer Multisystem2 is arriving tomorrow from Heber so I've got the weekend to play around with it! Cheers and have a great weekend lovely people of Mastodon! 🍻

I don't talk politics on here much, but... I've just seen the video of Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, handing over the World Cup to the orange cretin, saying "it's for winners only". Absolutely nauseating, boot licking simp. It's quite apt that one of the most corrupt organisations in […]

I take it since we're all still here that either the rapture didn't happen or we're all just godless heathens? Probably both.

*Googles "Tylenol"* Oh it's just paracetamol. Weird.

At the start of summer my dad gave me a few sprouted potatoes too far gone to eat, I cut them up and planted them in my raised bed. Just dug up 8 Kg of spuds 😮 #Gardening #potatoes

Third and final video from @RobSmithDev and his Aliens motion tracker is up on YouTube! Such a cool project, a great watch for any fans of the film and anyone who likes electronics and making things. If you haven't seen the first two, watch those first […]

Lovely 13.5 mile walk in the peaks today including a couple of cracking finds for #FungiFriday! Took these photos in Highlow Wood between Hathersage and Abney. Fly Agaric and (I think) some kind of bolete, maybe a Penny Bun? The Fly Agaric was so perfect I thought […] [Original post on mas.to]

Cheers from the highest pub in Derbyshire 🍻 #Beer #derbyshire

Thanks to whoever posted about the Good Foods easy apple cake recipe. Can't remember who it was to give them credit 🤦🏻‍♂️ I got a bag of windfall Bramley apples from a neighbour and tried it, and can confirm it's delicious 😋 #baking

I see that the orange cretin has just landed in Blighty for a state visit. Time to deploy this.

Watching King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, wow Billy Mitchell comes across as such a dick but Brian Kuh maybe even worse. Sycophantic little boot licking snitch. Anyway, very fun, nostalgic documentary film. A lot has happened in the Donkey Kong high score scene since this movie came out […]

I did not know I needed a subwoofer in my audio setup, until I got a subwoofer. Everything just has so much more ooomph! #Music #audio

I've always loved this album, so I had to get it on vinyl. Not cheap but I managed to get it for £30 on Music Magpie's 20% off sale which seems a decent price. It sounds absolutely superb, I think it's still my favourite Pulp album and Babies is still my favourite […] [Original post on mas.to]

Only a couple of albums bought on Bandcamp Friday this time, I have been spending too much on vinyl! I got The Pattern Speaks by Skloss and Strung Out In Hell by Margatita Witch Cult. Pretty sure it was @buffyleigh who recommended Margarita Witch Cult, proper throwback metal. I love this […]

Heads up. Bandcamp Friday starts in T-15 minutes! #Music #BandcampFriday

I enjoyed Bob Ross's later, more experimental period.

CEOs gonna CEO https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce93klk0jpzo

Have a great weekend, lovely people of Mastodon. These Dark Revolution beers have some of the coolest can designs around! 😍 Chin chin! 🍻 #Beer #beersofmastodon

A house near me has put a load of bags of cooking apples and pears out front for people to take for free, so I did a bit of impromptu baking. Here's an apple and pear pudding, it tastes better than it looks! #Baking #masterbaker

Watched the new Superman movie last night, I enjoyed it. For the sequel they should have Lex Luthor, a convicted criminal with problematic behaviour towards women, become President of the United States. Actually scrap that, much too far fetched. #Superman #movies

Big Clive mostly does electronics teardowns where he explains in a very entertaining manner how things work, but every now and then he does one of these "will it carbonate" videos. Lots of fun 😊 #youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnvvnucqJqs

Ugh, fixed the shoulder buttons on my old Nintendo DS Lite but in the process I broke the power and volume switches. *Facepalm* It's honestly easier to just buy a whole new old one at this point and not much more expensive than replacement switches. I'll keep this one for spares.

I don't know what undiagnosed thing is going on with me, but I get hyper focused about a thing to the point it becomes all consuming and then I drop it like a stone. At the moment I've got an overwhelming urge to do some portrait painting with acrylic paints 🤷🏻‍♂️

Murky, drizzly morning. Overnight it's turned to autumn. Dreich.

The only good thing about the Paramount / Skydance merger and their bootlicking of the orange cretin is that I can carry on pirating Strange New Worlds and not feel bad about it. "What shall we do with the orange cretin, Early in the morning!?" 🎶☠️

[Alien Earth minor spoilers] Massive corrupt corporations are baked into Alien right from the start but it's front and centre in Alien Earth Boy Kavalier the trillionaire CEO of Prodigy is a real moustache twirling evil tech bro. "Triage the rescue by income bracket" is a thing he actually […]

I just finished reading Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky and really enjoyed it. It's very funny in parts, which is not a gear I've seen from him before. He's quickly becoming one of my favourite authors after this and the excellent Children of Time trilogy, I'll […] [Original post on mas.to]

What a record this is! Still sounds fresh as a daisy and the lyrics are just as pertinent today than when they were written. Absolute banger 🤘🏻 #Vinyl #VinylCollection #music

Watching Adrian trying to play Lorde's problematic clear CD is content I never knew I needed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3IvVUh3mt4 #YouTube #lorde

Lovely 9.5 walk today from Mayfield to Stanton to Weaver Hill and then back to the Dunscombe Arms in Ellastone for a well earned pint before getting the bus home. Here's a pic of St. Mary's Church, Stanton, a very pretty little church in beautiful surroundings. #Photography #staffordshire

Listened to a podcast about Witness, a 1985 thriller about the Amish. Reminded me of something I'd forgotten. A long time ago I visited an Amish farm just outside Philadelphia. I mentioned to them that near where I'm from there's a lot of sheep farming and I got […] [Original post on mas.to]

I don't normally like commenting on anyone's physical appearance, but Mr Beast's dead-eyed grin just freaks me out. I'm sure he's not bothered about some rando's opinion on a niche social media network as he dives into a pile of money Scrooge McDuck style. #YouTube #mrbeast

Ah, Wednesday is back for Season 2. I enjoyed Season 1, saved this screenshot on my phone. It applies to all social media apart from Mastodon of course 😉 #Wednesday #netflix

Today's eclectic #BandcampFriday #music haul: Wet Leg - moisturizer MASTER BOOT RECORD - HARDWAREZ Mik Artistik's Ego Trip - BOOM! Do I need to describe Wet Leg? They're great, can't wait to see them at Rock City #Nottingham in November! MASTER BOOT RECORD - chip […] [Original post on mas.to]

This is good news, whoever they've been using (the article says Dutch MeteoGroup) were rubbish. We do a lot of outside work relying on accurate weather forecasts and we stopped using the BBC because it just wasn't trustworthy. Yes, the British are weather obsessed, you would be if you lived […]

Come on now FA, pay Sarina Wiegman as much as Thomas Tuchel, she bloody well deserves it! #engesp

I always get people sitting next to me on public transport, maybe it's because I don't look threatening, maybe it's because I'm not an arsehole who puts a bag on the seat next to me. Anyway, instead of just staring straight ahead thinking "don't sit next to me, don't sit next to me" I should […]

Hulk Hogan now https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwyqq7z2z2wt

Just bit into a gherkin and it shot out a stream of chilli infused vinegar straight into my right eyeball. How's your day going?

I know there are far more important things in the world to get annoyed by, but there's one trope that really gets on my nerves. It's the mobile phone "vibration" sound used in literally *all* TV and movies. Mobile phones only make that sound when they're on a hard surface, they don't make that […]

Just muting a few edgelords who feel the need to let everyone know they didn't like someone who's just died. Weird behaviour man, maybe just keep that to yourself.

R.I.P. Ozzy. It's almost like he just refused to die until he'd done that one last gig. Truly an original 🤘🏻 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn0qq5nyxn0t #OzzyOsbourne

Got this for £13 .15 delivered on Amazon Prime Day (I know, I know, I already cancelled Prime and I'll try and buy from independent stores from now on). It's back up to £21.45 now, so I think I did well? Fun fact, Suede had to be called The London Suede in the USA […] [Original post on mas.to]

I have finally bought myself a turntable and become a vinyl wanker, albeit with the modern convenience of Bluetooth. This is going to be a massive time and money sink isn't it? Fun though! 😂 #Music #vinyl

Like any sane person I've got filters set up so I don't see stuff about horrible people. Luckily some of the worst people have unusual names. But I do wonder sometimes how much top quality content I'm missing about odours and types of oxes!?

It's badass season for my favourite podcasters Bald Move, so I just watched Double Team from 1997. It's a hilarious pile of trash, I loved it! Just a few things that happen in this film: Van Damme and Dennis Rodman fall out of a plane in a giant basketball. Van […] [Original post on mas.to]

Another great test match at Lord's, terrific resistance from Jadeja batting with the tail. Not much between these two teams at all, could have gone either way, proper hard cricket played over five days 🏏 #ENGvIND #cricket

Really sad news from the retro computing community, Patrick Davis aka PatmanQC has passed away 😥 Rest in peace, Patman. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxlxGXbAp493rLsgFSTZkLyuz_dEwx8W11
