When someone like Rod Liddle dies, it's fun to watch journalists try praise him, without mentioning all that stuff he used to say. Like watching Lenny try explain why he should keep his job without using the letter E

Lenny in the Simpsons, about to be fired, unless he can explain why he shouldn't be wiothout using the letter E

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

Not much art in the past 2 weeks as I’ve been converting our junk room into my craft room. It’s almost complete. A few more things need moving upstairs and some more storage solutions are on their way to make the most of the space. I even made myself a new necklace which I wore to MegaCon. #crafting

The initial stage of the conversation showing a room empty of clutter with a white table in the corner.Next phase: same room now with shelves partly stacked with craft supplies. I’ve also got a craft trolley with essential tools in it.A necklace I made with labradorite, pearl, onyx and gold coloured glass beads

I literally almost quit #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine earlier but by making notes I’ve made the following without rewatching the tutorial I was following. This is truly the way forwards I’m so lazy sometimes but honestly writing notes is the way forwards

Also, given the success I’ve had at Jiujitsu with taking notes, I’m going back on #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev using #Godot #GodotEngine but this time I’m taking notes and really going to focus. This is the best way to escape tutorial hell (otherwise I’d just give up 🤷‍♂️)

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”
