Yes, that random dude from the other place. Still playing Spectrum games, listening to prog rock and worrying about the climate crisis. Interested in motives and renewable tech.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMYe... I don't want to hear a single peep from JD Vance about "freedom" ever again. Accusing your opponents of that which you're guilty is an old Nazi trick.

It's quite something that pretty much all my worst fears about a second Trump term have already been blown passed. Horrifying statements coming out of the White House.

2024 Crash Smash Countdown (=4th, 91%) MAGIC TOWER Equal fourth place on our list goes to this platformer from Seagal that Gordon described as "brilliant and charming" in issue 25! #zxspectrum #retrogaming #8bit #computing

Yet again, the grown ups have to come in and stop the toddler from eating the glue pot.

Lomborg is a breathless liar.

Yup, workers look after other workers, corporations look out for their shareholders.

Turning off the internet for the day. Please remember that every time you feel stressed your body is releasing cortisol. Choosing to flood your system with cortisol every day creates: weight gain, acne, high blood pressure, heartburn, slower healing, & lack of focus. For your own health: BREATHE!

You cannot satirise the world anymore. Real life and the culture around it have become so insane, any attempt to satirise it is just consumed, celebrated and the bar just drops another level.

The irony of this massive race to "Super Intelligence", is that these hyper capitalists, are very possibly ushering in an era of global communism. 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY93...

Most people are vulnerable to claims of hypocrisy because throughout the course of a lifetime, whatever values we try to live by are rarely consistent with what is in our interest. Elect leaders whose interests align with your own, that is the only way to guarantee they will truly represent you.

I've just realised that Open AI head, Sam Altman's surname is particularly eyebrow raising, considering his position! Alt-Man. Hmmmmm.

Probably one of my favourite comments to make about climate change, is that it's not a question of whether or not you "believe" in it, it's a question of whether or not you "understand" it.

Mike Portnoy playing Taylor Swift is quite something, haha: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHl_...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWB0... Every word of this hits the bullseye. We're getting to the point where corporations and even individuals are becoming wealthier than nation states. They are sucking the wealth out of this planet and leaving us all to fight for the scraps.

Probably the best way for the EU and UK to deal with X isn't to try and ban it but play Musk at his own game. Create high profile representative accounts which shadow his account, expose every grubby deal or fact about his past or current connections he doesn't want known. Expose and humiliate him.

Man alive help me build up more of a following here. The Elon meltdown going on at the other place is just embarrassing to witness. Why UK politicians aren't moving here at scale is beyond me. Stop feeding the beast. Make the transition easier for the rest of us!

Merry Christmas Blue Sky. I'm still finding my feet on this platform. It's still hard to ignore the party going on next door but I hope to build more of a followers / following list next year.

Haha, 100 percent.

😜

The number of people who debased and humiliated themselves for Trump's narcissism is countless. Trumpism truly is a cult: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MvO...

We've normalised so many insane behaviours in our society. The level of wealth inequality we're at today is just beyond staggering, we've literally built a society where the majority are fighting over the crumbs people like Elon miss.

Haha, seems to be the popular view these days! 😂

Religion went wrong when we stopped worshipping the sun or the planet itself. The minute it was corrupted to elevate male figures as deities, it became about power, control and submission. You want something to worship, worship the Earth. Without that we truly are nothing.

www.bbc.com/news/article... A contemptable, backward ass culture which thoroughly deserves to wither and die. My heart goes out to the 14 or so million women unfortunate enough to born in this medevil, ideological ghetto.

Seems about right.

youtu.be/5mJ_2w0Q7lU?... Wow, a very smooth first look at a new Spec game in development. Four directional scrolling and silky smooth animations. Check it out!

The Spec port of Space Gun was outragously good. Huge full colour sprites, huge explosions, excellent intro music and it even had little cut scenes. Outstanding stuff and ensured the Spec went out strong. Wish modern developers would do more games like this. youtube.com/watch?v=aLpC...
