Inspired by a tileset in a recent @mixolumia.com post I think I've started on making a thing? Probably going to be pure exploration? Classic arcade adventure, find the stupid items to solve stupid puzzles??? #pico8

How rude!

It's collecting leaf littler for a nest.

Has anyone explained to Andy Burnham why no one liked Keir Starmer?

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

Scotland have carved up Arg on the Argentina right wing every single time. I can't work out why though.

Cruel policies will never be cruel enough for the people who enjoy cruelty, whilst actively driving away everyone who doesn't.

How long should it take refugees to settle in the UK? (March 2026) Labour supporters & potential Labour 2029 voters had a strong preference for 5 years over the government's proposal of temporary protection for 20 years - but many Reform voters would prefer "never" to the 20 year proposal.

The reason Morgan McSweeney was terrible at fighting Reform has similar reasons why the SWP is absolutely terrible at actually delivering on their claimed aims. Because being very good at organisational factional battling actually has very little overlap with being good at delivering for an org.

Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).

I'm sorry? Turnout was up 6 points on the last general election??? Burnham has the mandate of heaven. All who opposed him will be swept away by the tides of history.

"Laypeople can't distinguish expert analysis from something merely expert-analysis shaped" may be the greatest summation of modern times without even bringing LLMs into it. So many bad faith arguments are "expert-analysis shaped"

Laypeople can't distinguish expert analysis from something merely expert-analysis shaped, and LLM providers exploit this. It's their whole business model, in fact. For those illiterate in the discipline, a list of bullet points cuts off thinking as surely as an actual bullet to the temple.

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

What a guy

'I'd buy a new coffee machine for three grand on expenses every couple of years if I could' - the median Scottish voter

Put all the purchases from the SNP fraud case in a museum and call it the Murrell Collection

jamwitch.itch.io/the-case-of-... is a lovely game where you delve into the past to unravel what has happened to the princess. I love the base mechanic. I like the sudden bursts of inspiration that the game creates. It makes me feel clever.

The Case of the Dungeon Descent by jamwitch, Celia, Rose

Scry to investigate the princess's fate

Easter Road currently sounding like they won the league rather than getting beaten by 10 man Motherwell!

I beg your pardon?

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

She understands she can’t actually deport him, right?

UK PM STARMER TOLD BY HOME MINISTER MAHMOOD & OTHER SENIOR CABINET MINISTERS TO CONSIDER SETTING OUT DEPARTURE TIMELINE - TIMES

Springs and things #pico8 #postcart (technically old school #tweetcart as 280 chars on the dot) Haven't done any Pico 8 programming in a while. It shows.

One of the most captivating and unique games you'll ever play. You would be a fool to pass up on this if you haven't played it before.

Interesting Scottish election factoid: Edinburgh Central is the first time the SNP have finished outside the top two in a Holyrood constituency contest since 2011.

Never not hilarious to see 1st and 2nd place inverted from the Constituency vote to the List vote.
