Today I've levelled up! It's my 47th Birthday, and I'm not in Blackpool, so I'm playing some favourites on multiple platforms. NES, Megadrive, Amiga, C64, Arcade, SNES. Birthday favourites megastream live now!

How do we know that #kakapo will breed next year? Each autumn, we inspect rimu trees: if more than 10% of branchlets are developing fruit, then there'll be a rimu 'mast' and kākāpō will nest. This year the counts are the highest we've ever seen, which means most females should breed. #conservation

#Swallowtail I’ve only seen one this year

I would bet a zillion dollars that in the same way we use Nazi to describe a particular kind of person today, in 20 - 30 years people will use MAGA. So good job, america

NYT 2028: While it may certainly be called unorthodox to adorn the Capitol Rotunda with severed heads on spikes, the fact that not only the Democratic Caucus was decapitated, but also several Republican representatives, makes this a bipartisan symbol that could perhaps even be seen as a compromise.

You know it had to be done...

We've reached the first milestone! The introductory part of Return of Fury II is playable all the way through. Now to polish, polish, polish while starting work on the next part. Aiming the game to be about 50 maps big-maybe more if we get grooving! rebelandroid.com/games/return... #c64 #rof2

The King of The Night needed some help. A cat probably caught it :( I'm glad it went unnoticed by people who might have harmed it! Brought it to a specialized center where they will help it fly again ♥ Good luck, little one 🥹 #Chiroptera #Bat #FlyingMammals #Mammals #Nature #Animals #Photography

Vorschlag für Gesetzesanpassung: Wenn jemand vor meinem Haus im stehenden Auto sitzt und dabei dauerhaft den Motor laufen lässt, nur um die Umgebung mit Wohlklang und wertvollen Stickoxiden zu verwöhnen, sollte es legal sein, ihm zum Dank dafür mit dem Schlüssel ein Herzchen in den Lack zu zaubern.

youtu.be/DSnRAQBy9xo?... Over the past 5 years, I’ve created a looooot of C64 SID covers – but none is as popular as my version of the Ghostbusters Theme by Ray Parker Jr. 🎶 With 21,312 views on YouTube, it’s an absolute banger! 👻👻👻 If you haven’t heard it yet – check it out! #8bit #chiptune #c64

Jeepers Creepers where'd you get those beepers? 👀 I think this is a female Eratigena atrica. The males are less sturdy with longer legs. These spiders are big but harmless. My cat loves to chew off their legs - quite cruel (and gross). 😝 #spiderfriends

A dandelion in my garden. They are among my favorites - bees love them too. 🌞

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

An epic battle on a twig. Think about it - hanging upside down, 1000x your height above the ground. Surrounded by flying monsters 500x your size, waiting to eat you. For everyone but us, the natural world is wild. #100mm #Photography #Macro #Nature #Hiking #Perspective #SpringNightmares

Happy Easter. 🐇🌼🍬

I have no idea why a book-and-software combination about the TRS-80 Colour Computer has the Loch Ness Monster with his arm (?) around a kid using a Commodore PET computer, but it was the '80s so I guess it's okay.

Almost every day: Q: Sorry grandma, this has to go, it's moldy. G: No! Q: Look, it's moldy, you can't eat this. G: I don’t see any mold! Q: Don't touch it, it's gross. There are little green dots all over the place. G: Then I'll eat it immediately! Q: You can't, it will make you sick! G: No! 🍊🍞🫐🥕🥦

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

whenever one of my mom friends is being too hard on her parenting skills, I like to show them a pic of pigeon nests so they feel better about themselves

Found some of my old sketch books today 😊

I try to stream C64 once a week - usually starting off with some "Desolate 90s" games, then continuing with some true 80s obscure and classics. I got a real-time updated list of played games here: rebelandroid.com/twitch/playe... and we rate the games. Check it out, you might find a gem!
