Professional Nerd, Electron Abuser, Powerlifter, & Miniature Wizard. I dive into whatever interests me, think, ‘That doesn’t look too hard,’ find out it is, & watch the business fail. Animator turned coder. Hands off our NHS! Amiga is (not) an investment.
What, I don’t even post on blue sky? But a friend sent me a link to this….

Are they insane. The Games Workshop logo is iconic. What are they playing at??

I thought of something funny… but reality is not funny. Humour doesn’t work here — satire is dead

Write the treatment - one of the networks might buy it

Heh… we had this with Brexit. Many voted Brexit as a protest - the idiots made it happen.

how long do you think it will take for his followers to realise it was all a mistake? What will it take for them to finally wake up?

You’re right - I asked my Mum (she was a judge). It’s when the court has decided not to impose a punishment cos the experience of going to court has been punishment enough. Usually reserved for extremely minor offences where the guilty flagellates/shits themselves - and risk of reoffending is low

I’m baffled - how is this punishment? It won’t rehabilitate him.

I’ve just seen the news - I don’t think we have an equivalent in the UK. I think the closest comparison would be a suspended sentence: Trump would remain free, but if he were convicted of another crime, he’d face prison time for both the suspended offense and the new one.

I’m thinking Bluesky is more like plain tofu… I’m trying to make it more sizzling fajita, but failing with the seasoning...

I’m a bit concerned. My plan B is a TTRPG shop… but it’s a poor comparison to software development

I was once asked to build a roulette wheel where people paid to spin and win weapons. It was dodgy gambling with terrible odds, so I declined. I miss the old days of the cover disk—play a few free levels, and if you liked them, pay a small fee for the full game. None of this in-app charge nonsense!

What’s your favourite period of Roman history? I like the late republic best

I’m kale 😂

At the local space center, you can try one on. I was too big, but my friend fit—no back panel of course (no life support etc). It sparked awe and a touch of fear. This suit is all that protects you from boiling in the vacuum of space.

You are welcome. I find it very useful 👍 it’s far more insulting than ‘dickhead’.

He is on my long list of historical bellends. He’d absolutely be in his element. In late-stage capitalism, he’d probably have a hedge fund called ‘Crassus Capital’—with a dubious fire insurance side hustle

I’m terrified. Billionaires who kiss the ring are eroding the safeguards of truth. We must fight back. But how? Historically, this ends in violence. I don’t want violence. Fascists always come after someone, picking their targets until no one is safe. That thought alone keeps me awake.

Just heard about the tariffs on Denmark… utterly, utterly bonkers!
