My own personal Retro Corner is finally completed by a 15 kHz monitor. Today was a very good day. So which of my precious trio shall I bathe in nostalgia with first? 😃 #RetroComputing #Amiga #Atari #AcornElectron

Time to resurrect the Allister Heath headline generator. Enjoy. #Binface4PM #Clacton4Binface #BinfaceVsFrogface stirring-fox-7e1fab.netlify.app

Let us not forget, it's patronising to suggest Reform UK Ltd voters don't know what they're voting for...

Who would have thought Bulgaria would save Europe from invasion. #Eurovision

Today was a special day. I plucked up the courage to power up my oh-so-pretty Acorn Electron for the first time in some decades. Did need the ULA reseating, but she (mostly) lives! Although I have no functional cassette drive right now, so just a Snapper cartridge for now then.

Looks like I'm gonna have to avoid Bluesky for the next couple of days to avoid #F1 spoilers. I knew I shouldn't have let the algorithm know I was interested in it. 🫣

MAGA before: Release the Epstein files! Trump: The Epstein files are a hoax! MAGA now: We don’t need the Epstein files! MAGA before: No foreign wars! Trump: We're going to obliterate Iran! MAGA now: Being against attacking Iran is treason!

One limitation of bespoke EU deals is they're less likely to be enthusiastic about agreements that can be ripped up every time a fickle UK electorate decides they want a more anti-foreign government. As opposed to a binding international treaty that is harder to renege on. Which brings us to 2029…

‘I’m not saying we should negotiate to rejoin… but there is a deal to be done.’ Labour MP @stellacreasy.bsky.social reacts to David Lammy’s refusal to rule out reversing Brexit.

Have you noticed in any reference to NATO, Trump's admin already refers to it in the 3rd person? As a customer, not as as an integral member of it. The US has already left NATO. It just hasn’t formalised it yet.

During his first term, President Trump rattled NATO allies by telling them that if they didn’t pull their weight, he could “do his own thing.” Now Washington appears to be doing just that in Russia, in the Middle East and pretty much everywhere else.

So in summary, in regard to the UK and #Eurovision, we love a bit of casual genocide and the whole of Europe still hasn't forgiven us for #Brexit.

Why has the #BlueSky algorithm suddenly decided, as a Brit who has shown no previous interests in British sports, that I might instead be interested in American sports?

Okay, seen #TheTraitors finale now. Takeaway is that in not announcing the traitor status of final leavers guarantees it whittles down to just the 2 most generic winners. Is that desirable?

Why does the #Bluesky algorithm suddenly think I might be interested in seeing gentleman sausage?

Here's a thought. If we're running out of ammunition to send to Ukraine, maybe we could just send them some second hand Teslas instead...

Uber-genius and effective-president elect Musk gets humbled by auto-carrot…

Prediction: Right wing press - Starmer should be fixing things in the UK rather than jetting around the world. Also right wing press - Starmer brings shame upon the UK by not turning up to Notre Dame’s reopening.

Coming from an Acorn Electron with its single channel sound, blew my mind first time I heard sampled sound after getting an 800XL and loading Ghostbusters up.

On that other place, I tend only to reply. But now I’m dipping my toes in here, I suppose I ought to say something. So… erm… this is my cat’s profile on Only Fans.
