![VOLITION [Easy: Failure] – You wake up in your Hilton suite to a cacophony of whistles and horns. Half drunk and half hungover, you hastily throw on your tactical gear. It feels heavier than you remember. You stumble outside. The cold hits you like a brick. What are you doing here in this dismal city? Home is warm. Home is safe. Home is a thousand miles away. Tucking your shotgun between your legs, you fumble with a tear gas canister like a child learning how to tie their shoes. The gun goes off and you shoot yourself in the balls.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eqh433fdh2bqhvt455e3tg67/bafkreiahrbfuw4v4so56ikp2pxf5n253bs5pd5gq37l7nqsitkwynw56hy@jpeg)
Is it just me or is the Apple Music app on Windows absolute dogshit? Registering a favourite song takes up to five seconds. Songs "playing" with no audio. Changes to audio output settings not registering until I relaunch the app... just bad in so many ways.

The line “AI is incredible, it can teach you how to fry an egg…” in an ad for Slack’s AI bot really doesn’t help to assuage the “first: imagine you’ve suffered a massive head injury…” pretext for AI advertising

I figured it was bad to be one half of @cslmodd.ing and have never made an asset beyond basic re-packs and low-level tools so I've set myself a goal to model and release Shoreditch High Street Station as a Cities: Skylines II asset.

Wow it has been a year! I got a bit busy and this draft has been sitting on my computer for a while. Here I explore the (at the time) newly opened Beijing Subway Line 3 and ask: Why did Beijing take so long to build a Line 3? Lots of pictures and history with this one.
The New World's Largest Subway System* Part 2
A continuation of my experiences with Beijing Subway openings in late 2024. Oh there is also a massive new high speed railway station thrown in there somewhere...

Tfl were testing the new Piccadilly line trains over the weekend, and luckily I managed to find some in the wild and get a few shots.
Here's the train arriving at Hammersmith London Underground station, I love how the lights look in the darkness.

One of the first Far Side comics I encountered and one of the ones that's stuck with me the longest. Poor Wazza.
Unknown to most historians, William Tell had an older and less fortunate son named Warren.
