Ryan's Half Marathon for Mรฉdecins Sans Frontiรจres / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Help Ryan Ayton raise money to support Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders (MSF)

In just under 3 weeks I'm running my first ever half-marathon, in aid of MSF! If you feel like chucking in a few quid in support I would hugely appreciate it โ˜บ๏ธ

Until you've built a level and had 10 million people play it without getting lost or frustrated, you can shut the fuck up about yellow paint.

Annoyingly if I'd have done the downs first I'd have had loads of plonks and probably would have finished a lot quicker

My account will probably be fairly quiet for the next couple of weeks. Wife and I have both finished work for the year and have entered full vegetation mode.

Which perversely means I barely look at my phone because I'm far too busy sleeping, eating or playing video games

Itโ€™s The Shard photographed from below at night. It stands among other skyscrapers. Some of its windows are lit up, others are blacked out. The spires at the top are lot lit up in bright neon red. This is supposed to look festive but instead it basically looks like the Eye of Sauron. Itโ€™s giving evil villain lair vibes. It does not help that the red light is reflected in the clouds above, giving the sky an evil looking eerie red glow. Doctor Doom would reject this place as being too on the nose. Magneto would tell them to tone it down a bit. Itโ€™s evil in building form.

Very much appreciating Salman Anwarโ€™s photo of The Shard in the UK, which he points out theyโ€™ve tried to make festive and instead made look menacingly evil.

I love this song so much. It goes so hard.

I discovered Bambie when I saw them play Download fest the year before they did Eurovision and this was one of my most played songs that year because of that set

Ahhh they were so good! Even better than I thought they'd be!

Whole band gave it absolutely everything. And they ended with an incredible moment where Gunnhild, the lead singer, sang completely unamplified. Haunting and beautiful. Highly recommend!

Soooo,

what makes BlueSky impressive is composable moderation. As in, you can trivially subscribe to a moderation channel that behaves more like you want.

Assuming the built-in mod team'll go as hard as you want was never gonna work out, but since we can do the above, we can just work around them.

Right? I'd never heard anything of theirs before and immediately became a huge fan.

Also thanks for the recs! That Sugar Pit album is excellent. Can't believe I'd let that one slip by

Catly is AI garbage, there are better cat games made by (cat-loving) humans.

Alt text: Little Kitty Big City (black cat running amok on a city street), Spirit City Lofi Sessions (drinking tea with magic cat), Cat Quest III (magical cat adventuring party), and Nine Sols (mysterious cat cyberninja).
