What‽
This!
Minister LOVES flags!
Wes Streeting thinks the CDi Mario games are objectively and non ironically good.
I bloody love motherland as well.
Yep. The thing that sent him spiralling was even someone gently saying to him "hey, I love the it crowd its really funny, but perhaps the episode with the trans storyline is a bit hurtful, please consider being more sensitive in future".
Instantly? Not from tape, or the achingly slow 1541 without jiffydos or a turbo loader!
Shit for indie devs. "You want to make a game for our segtendo megasnes? Sure. You have to buy the carts from us. Minimum order 100,000. Price set by us."
It wasn't in reply to you, it was in reply to the quote
Yes. That's where I got the information.
Its worse than that, they kept the mid length one but gave back a shorter one and a longer one
Ok everyone agrees I get at least 48 hours to be obnoxious about this
Small follow-up to yesterday's video, specifically on the topic of file writes verification... because if you are willing to spend time and money on making floppy disks releases... would be nice if they actually were readable! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qyx...
I tried my hand at making a video codec. I didn't know the first thing about video codecs when I started, so was quite fun to learn about the concepts and how to implement them. I packaged the result in a stb-style, single-file header-only lib, < 2500 loc with no dependencies.
Hypothetically, if I encouraged anyone who sees Wes Streeting in a toilet to beat him up, would that be acceptable to him?
Ed Balls: the Greens taking votes from Labour helps the Tories @zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I want to see every Labour politician whose voted for a two child benefit cap, for disability cuts, for the ongoing genocide in Gaza to sell arms to them, I want to see them replaced" #GMB
Reuniting orphaned boxes and media brings me more joy than it probably should. This was a tricky CD to source but it’s now safely in the box. 📦

Yep same for my eldest!
Its not working for them. They hate him as much as they ever did. This strategy isn't working *at all*.
"We just need to be a bit more racist and transphobic, and it'll come good! Trust the process!"
The White House aides currently running around panicking like that Succession episode when Logan had lost his mind and they had to get him on stage for the shareholders. Vance helping him piss etc.
A federal judge ruled that Trump's use of federal troops in L.A. violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which is a very serious legal principle that we should not joke about
My gentle suggestion is that, if you have any evidence "the government" is actually instructing the Met police whom to arrest on a case-by-case basis, you really should be writing about that. And if you have no evidence, but *just think* that's what happens, you shouldn't be writing about anything.
You did it. The neo-Nazi gig planned for Great Yarmouth has been CANCELLED. ❗ Over 34,000 of you emailed the Home Office and spread the word. Local press, councils and police took notice, and under pressure, we have just received the news that the venue has pulled the plug.
Also, don't trust people who say being against fascism is bad for business. Unless you're doing some weird crypto ponzi scheme, or trying to get a government contract to blow up a border tent, dissent great for business! The Onion is living proof. People flock to you! www.wired.com/story/uncann...
Yeah i find him off putting too, but i agree with a lot of his politics.

Wrong decision. They should have left it as VIC-20 IN Germany and renamed it "FUCK-20" everywhere else.
When Nigel Farage said he'd feel uncomfortable living next door to Romanian migrants, his comments were widely condemned, with then Labour leader Ed Miliband calling them a "racial slur". Now 11 years later, such sentiments are not just condoned, but actively encouraged by our Labour Prime Minister

That’s me. The inexperienced DJ. You might be wondering how I got here. *record scratch* Shit.
The inevitable has happened: Disconnect is back on Ghost after trying Substack again. I didn’t just ditch another US tech platform; I learned the Substack network isn’t as helpful as it used to be, and certainly doesn’t justify putting up with the platform’s support for Nazis.
I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to call the 'nazi shrug'. This is when you point out someone is sharing a technology or platform that either doesn't ban or actively promotes nazis, and they..............shrug. Usually a person who actively hates nazis, is a leftie, etc......
This is on Labour. They came into power and have done nothing except pander to these people.
September is the big push to complete the Pump House project. Will we finish it on time? Hollys face says it all...

Yvette, I'm confused.
It’s not like this government has a few transphobes - it is institutionally transphobic to its core, being on the board of a transphobic hate group will help you get a senior role

And if you're wondering whether someone getting killed is what it will take for the media and political class to come to their senses, I would just remind you that Jo Cox was murdered in a similar moment of demagoguery and hysteria 9 years ago, and if anything things have got far worse since then.

Back to retro shenanigans this week, folks. It would appear that I spent most of August building the new workshop which will NOT have old machines in it. I promised Mrs Dinosaurs this 😇 Apart from these 3 monster DEC monitors which came out of the old shed. Obvs.
That works way better than i thought it would!

Let's be blunt. Corbyn and Sultana had the chance to form a left wing party that was inclusive in its very foundations. Instead they've given a prominent, vocal position to a transphobe who is anti-abortion. That's the foundation of their project, now.
A gazillion things I had to repair later, my Acorn A3020 now boots, has an HD, serial mouse works, and it’s going places.

Old entertainers need to stop saying this shit. Firstly it's boring grumpiness. Two, It's not true and thirdly, if it's true it also doesn't make sense. How do you "not make" something that already exists
