Okay. Took a week off from kicking this round because the health from hell caught up with me and, frankly, also it stresses me out. Turns out, a month and a half of this when you’re already broken is not good! Who knew? www.gofundme.com/f/rob-and-fa...

Heads-up! The first part of Carleton Handley's Spectrum Next development blog "Gunning for Glory" is now available via our Patreon page! www.thalamus.link/patreon #RunnNGunn #SpectrumNext

"I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don't know what the big deal is. I love all my children" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This year we will be present and have booths at 3 more retro events. We’re preparing and working to have a new batch of physical games available both online and also plenty to bring with us to our booths <3 #amiga #retro #retrogame #A500 #A1200 #retrogamedev #indiegamedev

“.. retailers have told us they have about a six- to eight-week supply of inventory in their systems now,” Seroka said. “.. manufacturers and consumers alike will find difficult decisions in the weeks and months to come if policies don’t change.” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/b...

It’s amazing how fast that it got this bad, and this stupid. So bad and so stupid you could not write this into fiction without people rolling their eyes at how clumsy the satire and the plotting were.

TONIGHT 8pm BST at twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - part 7 of my A-Z of #Amiga arcade conversions. We've still got some of the letter G to tackle, with hopefully a few better games to come than last time - but I wouldn't necessarily hold your breath...

People are going to pretend to be ICE agents to rob, rape and kill now that it's just people with hoodies and no due process.

Why not say that Trump saved 15 billion American lives? Why not a trillion? If you're making up stupid numbers, at least have some fucking fun with it.

Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

There’s zero credible evidence that an all-animal diet is beneficial long-term. In fact, science consistently tells us the opposite. open.substack.com/pu...

First Trump took over the Kennedy Center Then he put JD Vance in charge of dismantling the Smithsonian He set forth an Executive Order to wipe Black history & artifacts from the walls & halls of the African American History Museum Now he's purging the board of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum

Nintendo Switch Spotlight: Pan-Dimensional Conga Combat is an old-school, rhythm-synchronised arcade game with a cracking 4-player high-score battle mode! #TakeYourBrainToAnotherDimension thalamus.link/conga-us thalamus.link/conga-uk thalamus.link/conga-jp

If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can still cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

The worst people in America are really having a moment, aren’t they?

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Over 421 billion chickens would be killed every year to support this supposedly “sustainable” level of consumption. We currently kill about 70 billion land animals per year (all species combined), and that's already more the planet can handle. www.independent.co.u...

Hey @sega-west.bsky.social - let's make this happen? 🙏❤️

For other animals, fireworks are bombs. No warning. No explanation. Just terror. open.substack.com/pu...

Can you believe it's come to this? We've now got to worry about getting US colleagues in trouble by tagging or mentioning them on social media. ☹️

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Happy Independent Bookstore Day to all who celebrate, which should be all of you because indie bookstores fucking rule. (I’m at the LATFOB today and will be signing at the booth of a great store, @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social)

I've been back working on the isometric game this week. Wrapped on the second zone more or less and hit 150 total rooms, and things are about to get Manic! 🧙🏻 #Amiga #RetroDev

"I'm not interested in politics - I just want to live my life in peace". My sibling in unrequested consciousness, if you don't pay attention to politics, you don't get to live in peace. That threat doesn't come from me. I'm just mentioning that said threat never goes away.

Five years ago today ANIMAL TALKING debuted. What started as a way to goof off with my friends during lockdown became a viral sensation with live guests like Selena Gomez, Sting, Brie Larson, T-Pain, Gorillaz, Danny Trejo, and Elijah Wood! This remains one of my favorite things I've ever done.

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

Bless these young people posting "movie you've watched more that 6 times" memes. Before streaming, when we only had a VHS collection to rely on, we watched *EVERY* movie a dozen times. THERE WERE NO OTHER MOVIES AVAILABLE. Christ, I've seen Police Academy 3 more than six times.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Tomorrow they’re going to tell us to knock off a liquor store.
