For those who didn't know, the mighty Lord British is now on Bluesky and needs to rebuild his following. If you've ever played an Ultima game (who, me? lol) give him a follow!

If the Nobel Committee even thinks out loud about awarding Trump the Peace Prize, I predict nearly every living Nobel prize holder will return theirs and the entire program will come to an end.

Счастливого вторника, друзья! Happy Tuesday, friends! This week, the US and Russia held a summit in Riyadh to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict. Without Ukraine's participation. We have opinions about that. Today's C-64 Russian Class is about this current event. Stay safe, friends!

Quote with your first computer. This C-64 is the first computer I owned. I actually first learned programming on Apple ]['s at school a year before getting this. It ran the BBS and a recently delivered a Russian lesson, it has given 42 years of both joy and frustration, and it owes me nothing.

We feel that (1) Project Luigi is not moving forward in America in the way it ought to and (2) its Russo-Ukrainian counterpart is very much going ahead apace! Welcome to THC C-64 Retro Russian class #20, друзья!

Then there's this.... Thoughts?

This evening I tried running LFT's "impossible" nine-sprite NINE demo on a real C-64 (the one that ran the BBS and delivered last week's Russian class) It was a #crash and #burn There's more information about this in the video below, which shows the demo up to the crash point. youtu.be/gkulnxfKXwQ

An easy one this week, just some simple questions with binary Yes/Да/Da or No/Нет/Nyet answers. Note the frequent use of the interrogative ли(Li) in questions. Thanks for attending Week 19 of THC C-64 Russian Class! See you next Tuesday! До свидания

If Elon tries to do some shit to the CIA I honestly hope they make him disappear

Canadians still using Xitter, what do you think of an X ban?

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

@bsky.app I do believe congratulations are in order!

OK, got a special one for you. This week's C-64 Russian Class is on a real, 43 year old breadbin C-64 shown on an 80's CRT TV! The subject: Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your yap and remove all doubt. This is harder to do on real hardware, so back to emulation next week.

Me: Oh for fuck’s sake. I’m simply trying to get off this fucking rock.
