Started watching Blake's 7: Killer. Who would have thought Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark had such a magnificent head of hair.

Just remembered this excellent game

James Bond has to try to work out who killed Captain Von Trapp. Was it Wanda Gershwitz? Captain America? Muriel Heslop? Sonny Crockett? General Zod? Or Fozzie Bear?

He only quit the Greens after he was suspended for transphobia. A matter of days ago, he was claiming that the Greens want to dish out "puberty blockers like confectionery."

What despicable little man.

"Unfortunately, due to our shareholders rapacious greed, we will be increasing your domestic energy bills by eleventy-five percent from April.

The regulator said we could go up to eleventy-six, but we wanted to pass on those savings to YOU, [valued customer]."

"Did you enjoy the comics I bought you from the shop today, little Timmy?"

"Yes, mummy. My favourite bit in LOONEY TUNES was when Wile E. Coyote smashed into the painted tunnel entrance. And my favourite bit in PREACHER was when T.C. had sex with a chicken."

Shut up about the flags, says local politician who spent Β£75k putting in just 164 flags nobody wanted and nobody needed, while the roads have become more uneven and potholey than when the romans built some of them

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was β€œyour piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Yeah. Sorry about that. Meanwhile I'm highly entertained by the news that one of the teams' engines are vibrating so badly they won't be able to do more than 25 laps without giving the drivers nerve damage. What an absolutely ridiculous sport. I'll still be getting up at 1:30am though.

Oh no, the shot you used is plenty classic enough.
Improvised too I gather, so that look is also "what is he doing, this isn't in the script, okay, let's just roll with it...". πŸ‘Œ

A perennial bugbear of mine is the response, "Oh, nobody showed me how to do that..."
Nobody showed me how to do it, I had to work it out, or I asked, I didn't just not bother doing whatever it was until I was asked why I hadn't. πŸ™„

β€˜65 pounds.’

β€˜That is the discount, but VAT’s a thing.’

Australian indie podcasters - how have you made Riverside or SquadCast etc work?

I find that Australian internet is frequently not up to the task. Even a good NBN plan drops out and has lag.

What do you use that actually works consistently, recording platform or internet provider-wise?

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

I'm sure the timing relative to the news about Windows 12 is *entirely* coincidental. Not heard of CachyOS. So many distros to choose from nowadays.

They're banking on all the other countries being controlled by the AI. When it turns into actual PVP things go a bit sideways.
