Dressing room photos of my parents wearing black Javanese-style wedding outfits, with "cunduk mentul" hairpins for my mom. Black is a classic color worn by brides and grooms in Javanese wedding, representing earth-related qualities like humility, strength, magnanimity, and wisdom. #WyrdWednesday

I’m very sad to hear the news that one of the all-time great automotive journalists & broadcasters, Quentin Willson, has died, aged 68. He was clever, engaging & friendly, & we’ll not see his like again. #RIPQuentinWillson

Finally took the plunge with machine code on the SAM Coupe in 1994 after buying an assembler for half price at a computer show. £14.95 well spent! Took to Z80 asm immediately and the rest is history!

This is a great game, and wonderfully presented by Snorkers. 😎

Only 2 weeks to go to the Retro Computing Festival! I'll be showing off my Aquarius games,as well as my awesome Aquarius2 and the Aquarius+ I will also have a handful of rare and oddball machines youve never heard of,playing games you never knew existed! tinyurl.com/2025RCF

Goodnight. "I shall not be back... but something will."

🙏 Big big thank you to everyone who bought a copy of my book about WW2 London Blitz ambulance driver and diarist June Spencer. This morning I sent all the revenue from sales in Sept and Oct to medical charities working in Gaza and Ukraine

Come and see my lovely Aquariussessssess's and a variety of 'never heard of' oddballs running games you've never seen before 💪😎

Reading comprehension not high on Elmo Musk's list of priorities. The "hard men of Gondor." Weakened and corrupt, obsessed with past glories and barely able to function as a nation. A couple Hobbits had to save their collective asses.

I created a challenge using an Enigma encrypted message. The clues were all creative license from “Captain America, the First Avenger”. In the 4th image is the decrypted message. Can you locate the Tesseract on a map?

Time to start Hallowe’en reading. I’ve picked a collection of Robert Aickman stories, Dark Entries. I’ve been listening to all the previous @backlisted.bsky.social Hallowe’en episodes this week, and @andrewmale.bsky.social’s fist pick was Aickman’s Cold Hand in Mine, so Dark Entries is calling!

“Mary was small, with curly black hair nearly as curly as Tommy’s. Her teeth were small and pointed rather as an animal’s, indeed she resembled an animal with her delicate boned face with its merry expression, perhaps a squirrel." #BookSky 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/t...

Daniel Gerber's 'Shad Fishery,' (1943) depicts townsfolk gathered on the riverbank at Cuttalossa, a Pennsylvanian hamlet tucked into a bend in the Delaware River, armed with nets to catch shad (a herring like fish) as they swim upstream.

Sir Walter Russell painted dozens of portraits as good as 'Cordelia,' (1928) but unless you happen to search for his name you are unlikely to come across how well regarded he was as a portrait painter or the work he made. Time often proves unforgiving to many artists.

Why does Rayner have to go for not paying the higher rate of stamp duty because of highly complicated family circumstances, yet Farage does not, despite putting his constituency home in his partner’s name to avoid the same tax. (The Guardian 5 September 2025 page 17 go.readly.com/newspapers/5...)

3/3 … while focusing the electorate’s ire on a working class woman whose one ‘offence’ was far less egregious, cost far less in lost government revenue, & who had to take responsibility. Propaganda works.

F**k off with your playground wars. We're adults, it's boring.
