A bullshit urban legend would have you believe that Golden Axe’s voice samples come from death row inmates. In reality, two come from Conan the Barbarian and two from Rambo: First Blood. I want to find the rest! www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/golden-...

Finished this for a customer today - did most of the install before back holiday weekend but had some paint touch ups to do. Love seeing my work once it's all loaded up and in use, and is yet another reminder to 25 year old bash to NOT ABANDON YOUR SODDING VINYL COLLECTION YOU IDIOT
So long, A23a. 🥹

You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.
sorry for getting political but watching ocean waves crash onto the shore is way better than whatever else is supposed to be happening
I cannot believe what a monumental wanker he has turned out to be. I didn't have very high hopes but never expected so much hardcore fascist shit, beyond depressing.
Surprising discoveries about the species responsible for 90 per cent of mushroom-related deaths is revealing the fungi kingdom to be even stranger than we had thought.
Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream" Well said

I would like to think they’ll draw the right conclusions from this. I don’t.
The Aussie press not holding back when it comes to its coverage of neo-Nazis.
They have lost their fucking minds.
Gorgeous glass gaming pieces from the Late British Iron Age. This unique set of 24 coloured glass domes with a flattened base and spiral decoration may have been used for a game similar to ludo some 2,000 years ago. British Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology
"On trans issues." He was telling people to physically assault us.
Telling that you only get questions like this from regional BBC journalists, as opposed to the "are you also frightened asylum seekers will assault your daughters, PM?" questions now levelled by their national colleagues
Yup.
It's the Greens or nothing
The White House will issue a statement at today at 2 PM, with all roads to Walter Reed hospital closed. Melania was reportedly seen yesterday taking a “tour” of Walter Reed.
Good morning!! New Kneecap track just dropped! It goes very hard!!
Let's not fool ourselves. Monday will always find us

Gave em a couple of rattan balls infused with silver vine just before this which is why she looks like she's off her face 😂
I think it definitely was a turning point.
She's a doofus, but she's MY doofus 🥰
You could argue the moment it was Brown who was castigated by virtually all the media for calling a racist a racist which started the right-wing lurch thru coalition, austerity, cowardly surrender to UKIP referendum, brexit, Boris, clown question reporting, and now Reform dominating media and Labour
Yep, always thought that was the touch paper for all this shite.
The path to safety is not paved with fear. It’s built through compassion. Over the past few weeks, like many others, I’ve felt the personal and professional weight of rising anti-refugee sentiment. When one community lives in fear, we all live in fear. This moment calls for courage and leadership.
On the final day of our Refugees Are Welcome series, Scottish Refugee Council CEO Sabir Zazai writes about the 10 things we can do in Scotland to turn the tide on anti-refugee sentiment 👇
So, what does the 'human' in 'humanism' refer to, anyway? Well... this! 👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿
Trump's 2pm announcement:
Greetings from Kyiv, where the air raid alert has been ongoing for three hours. Drones. I’m furious that children have to spend their second day of school in shelters.

I miss Gordon Brown, he can spot a bigot and he's blind in one eye.

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.
Record shops aren’t just for buying records - they’re some of the UK’s busiest live music spaces! Over 4,000 gigs will happen this year, from debuts to album launches. Fans get closer to the artists they love. 🤝 👉What’s YOUR favourite live moment in a record shop? #livemusic #supportlocal
#OtD 2 Sep 1962 Oswald Mosley and his fascist blackshirts tried to hold a meeting in east London while the British National Party attempted to assemble nearby. Both were attacked by anti-fascist locals. Mosley's meeting collapsed and he fled www.patreon.com/posts/e37b-6...
She was proper buried in my dirty clothes 😂. Luckily for her I washed all my socks and pants yesterday.
Just a wee tweak to the name of the place to put 'Power' in the middle.
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
When I passed my test there were no such gadgets and I was working in an area where you HAD to be able to parallel park - those skills have never left me.
Wondered why the laundry basket was so heavy, she was fully in with the lid closed 😂.
This is the absolute scum that Labour are pandering to, we should wave our stupid flags and be proud of these 'patriots'? I think not.
Once again this video shows that the problem is out of control thick white rude people. They're the danger and the problem, not the polite businessman being interviewed. People like that make me ashamed to be british.
Every day is 'Platty Joobs' in her gaff. Ridiculous twat.
Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go
Tuesday
Cracking piece. This bit nailed it.
(Exaggerated) "fears of mass unrest" were not realised. 3 disorderly attempts at violence (Hillingdon/Heathrow, Cheshunt, Canary Wharf) led to 10 arrests. 30 small protests. But one protest (Hillingdon) had 300-500 people: 1 in 10 protests (Falkirk, Braintree, Cheshunt) had 200+ Most <100

I forgot to share this earlier today!
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
i think the bigfoots don't want to be found because they know we would put them to work
the 80s and 90s were such an amazing era for little kids watching movies that they absolutely should not have been watching
Public health today is under attack, but nobody is rushing to save it Why? When public health works, NOTHING happens - bad things are prevented and nobody even knows Because the successes are not visible, people take it for granted Public health must communicate our successes We must be visible
Oh hey, happy 30th birthday, Rayman! Leaping into action for the first time on PlayStation on September 1st, 1995! Still such a pretty game <3
Oh yeah, I even bought my first Vinyl!
They are 😊
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
Oh I'll give that a watch. Think I've seen a fan edit at some point.
Lord of the Rings rewatch. Theatrical cuts. UHD. Beautiful.

I just hung my washing out 😫
It's that time of the day that Roxy comes for a snuggle and demands scritches. I'm off today Roxocube, plenty of time for fuss!

My dad has asked me if I have an old phone charger for my mum’s 2008 Canon camera. I mean… I better fetch my machete to get through this jungle… *Indy music plays* 🤠
It's 1st September, it's meteorological autumn, the kids have gone back to school and leaves have started to fall. You know what that means? Spooky season! Bring out the skulls!
Morning commuters from Glasgow to Edinburgh will see their fares drop by 48% today. Scottish Greens, trade unions and commuters worked together to demand the removal of peak rail fares. Today, peak rail fares are scrapped for good!
Somewhere in Iceland.
The “British person” in this instance was me; I do find it deeply amusing that, as well as being extremely racist about British Indians and their role in British food culture, this America has managed to name the curry that was most famously created in Britain
Pick up your clogs and smash the fucking thing. :-)
This may not be optimal for PC cooling, but it's perfect for loaf proving.
The Northern Lights are set to be visible across parts the UK tonight. Here is where and when you can spot them 👀

Incredible scenes in Genoa, Italy as 50,000 people join a procession to bid farewell to the boats joining the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza. Over 50 boats from 44 countries, loaded with 100s of tons of food aid, have set sail to Gaza to attempt to break the Israeli siege. (📸 Hidden Palestine)
When I say something stupid here I often think about just deleting the post out of embarrassment but then I always decide not to, because you know what? Even people who own exceptionally beautiful dogs can be stupid on social media. Let’s normalise it.
average nitrogen dioxide levels have fallen 50 percent in Paris thanks to regulation and public policy shows what can be achieved by political actors that are brave enough to challenge vested interests and prioritize public health and wellbeing
Lunchtime walk. Swallow over the South Downs near Truleigh Hill. In a valley with strong head winds so it slowed them down - which worked well for me trying to follow their flight paths with a long, narrow field of view, lens. #birds #nature #wildlife
And don't anybody say Pussycat Dolls Don't ruin the moment lol It's just so perfect Their poise their distance and how their fur interacts with the carpet colour
