Brandon Gill - weapons grade idiot. He needs to burger off...

People voted for this absolute moron. His whole animus is to fight progress. Any kind... Human, technological, societal. Incredible own goal, America.

““They will hunt you, they are like a cross between a lentil and a velociraptor” Okay, you have my attention.

Loving this Dukes of Hazzard reboot 👍

I have a YouTube channel. There are chiptunes (master system and mega drive so far) and old forgotten C64 demos youtube.com/@icecreamkimi

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

If you didn't know this already have a fact to brighten your day. This is my cat Boris when he played Jones in Aliens. He was picked because he would hiss on camera because he was not a nice guy.

I’m glad to see so many people sharing this video. It’s very important that people think these things through when they give apps permissions. Also, mergers and acquisitions are very common in tech. Who owns your data changes constantly.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

I think we can determine from this interview that Paul Krugman is a BBC Micro user 🤓

amazing q&a with paul krugman

Looks like Reuters could do a great sideline in building games, based on the quality of the workmanship done here by their team, as part of an informative article on 'cozy games' I mean, it's a news organisation, so it won't happen, unless they feel it's required for future readership?

Taking some further steps in using Next.js, with some ... Tailwind thrown in.

I was laid-off and am looking for a new role. Working were design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture. I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦 Shares appreciated!

Ah yes, Enjohy. Jon Bon's little known brother.

Absolutely bonkers movie. Amazingly compelling world building though. And the Teletubbies bit is true 😳

Ready to watch 28 Years Later in Guildford Odeon. Apparently I'll never look at Teletubbies the same way again after seeing this. We shall see 🤔

I'm on the waitlist for Atuin Desktop. If you - like me - run shell scripts on different OSes and environments, and are screaming for better terminal workflows, this could be for you. wt.ls/atuin/PfQfRtzb

This does not surprise me at all, having seen the spiralling cost of pet care and insurance when our last pet passed in 2020. The UK is going to see more abandoned animals in the coming years, as veterinary care has become as corporatised as the housing rental market. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

War with Iran was not on my bingo card on ways to get egg prices down.

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Come for the tech conference, stay for the Peak District National Park! frontendnorth.com

yes i am sure

Rockstar Games haven't released GTA 6 yet. I'm wondering if they may have to update it, based on @chadloder.bsky.social's thread alone?

Made it to Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice 🌄 Beautiful sunrise, huge numbers of people!

This is wonderful insanity... When your ARM powered Acorn RISC PC can have a second 486 DX4 100MHz CPU and run Windows 95 in its own window. Retro computing is so exciting dabbling with these things it truly is!

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

This looks like a super meeting for those interested in Acorn, Arm, and RISC OS history

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Isn't that a younger Matt Berry?

My brother is in Berlin for the weekend for work. He's tested positive for COVID. I've lost count how many times he's had it these last five years. He's had pneumonia prior to the pandemic. Guess plans for return home are postponed for now.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

28 Days Later will be on BBC iPlayer from Sunday evening. Been a while since I last saw it. Seems to be a shorter runtime however. Possibly edited? I hope not.

My game hovering on page 15 of the BBC Games Archive in terms of popularity. I'm happy with that 😊 bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=...

This thread is everything. Moose is admitting he was a Kross Kross fan in the early 90s 🤣
