Can you imagine what the world would be like today if instead of Donald Trump playing the role of improbably-haired, octogenarian President, it had been Dolly Parton. I can only think it would be an immeasurably better place.

Never knowingly missed an opportunity to use a drop shadow.
“The world of videogaming has just changed forever.” Super Mario 64 released in Japan on June 23rd, 1996. 30 YEARS AGO TODAY! It was the first game to receive a 10 from Edge, almost three years after the magazine’s first issue.
Oooh Muse tickets are available.... Back row, literally as far away from the stage as you can be... £145 *closes browser window*
WTH must other countries think of our political system.
Can't help wondering what my 11 year old self would've made of such a headline.

At this point I feel like mobile phone accessories have reached the packaging design heights previously only achieved by late 90s PC components. It's a screen protector for chuff's sake
Just occurred to me that Amazon have all the infrastructure in place to run an on-demand postal service. I wonder why they don't?

Had a bit of time to kill in London this afternoon so decided to visit Tottenham Court Road for the first time in about 20 years. What happened to all the computer and mysterious technology shops? Just another generic high street now
I have fond memories of SegaWorld. It was like walking into the futuristic, hi-tech world of excitement that my imagination told me arcades should be. Rather than the dark, dirty, smelly places they often were.
Damiano Gerli@damiano.bsky.social · 8mo agoIn 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999. Here is the entire sequence.

Clearing out my desk and found this old notebook... Man I loved that game

I've not seen a cleaner overhead kick in football than that McTominay goal last night. Used to attempt them as a kid, but never made contact and often ended up with a minor neck injury after folding myself in two.
I visited the V&A in London recently. I took a photo of this scene which seemed so bizarrely out of place and character for such a fine institution, that it's basically an art installation piece of its own.
Gamers: The Steam Cube is amazing, it's basically the hardware of a PC but without being crippled by Windows. No-one's thought of that before! OG Xbox: Hold my beer
Oh man, I would buy the hell out of this car if it still existed
The Fake History Hunter@fakehistoryhunter.net · 10mo agoThe Tokyo Electro Automobile Co. Tama Electric Car from 1947. It achieved the driving range of 96km and the maximum speed of 35km/h. And it looks GORGEOUS. I love it. If they were still being made, I'd get one. I wonder if a sheep fits in the back seat. www.nissan-global.com/EN/HERITAGE_...
This is what concerns me most about Gen AI. That one of the biggest companies in the world can put out an AI generated advert full of weirdness and errors without seemingly noticing, or caring. And that people seem to be OK with that. youtu.be/Yy6fByUmPuE?...

This is one thing I absolutely, fundamentally believe in. EVERYONE can draw. How good you are at it, is just a matter of practice.

Sad to hear that Drew Struzan has died. So many stone cold classics in his portfolio. What a legend.
"Your Dad shouts at hotels" is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time. 😂
Finished watching #ClarksonsFarm last night. It struck me that the pub, with its merch shop, massive queues, and chrome tractor, was more theme park than gastropub. He's missed a trick, he should've called it Diddlyland
For all AI's whizzbangery, let's face it, it *doesn't even come close* to this level of detail, charm, and timing
