I accidentally "Thing: Japan 😍'd" myself. I saw this cute as hell Nintendo DS box art for Oshaberi Ōmu and thought: "Wow, bird pet stimulation, so novel!"

Turns out that's just the Japanese version of Discovery Kids: Parrot Pals. I don't want to call it shovelware, but it's not not that

Of all the horrible social platforms out there, Twitter is brutally honest about YouTube!

Brace for another wave of x refuges
& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links. How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model. Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks. • Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader. Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

Elon Musk is supporting a violent overthrowing of the UK government in support of far right fascism.
Now that he has destroyed the pillars of American democracy and turned it into a nazi state, he wants the UK to follow very quickly.

"I really think there's got to be a change of government in Britain. And you can't... we don't have another four years or whatever the next election is. It's too long.

Something's got to be done. There's got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held."

Just a heads up that Sean Lee Robinson aka "Geek with Social Skills" has been sniffing around again. Folks who may not know, this is the guy who scammed members of the vintage computer, telecom, arcade and console communities.

Made a video about this loser:

Don't get scammed!

a man is sitting at a computer, creating a sprite (blocky creature with arms, legs, eyes and a smiling mouth). books are on the floor: make your own sprite, sprites for all. a design of the sprite is also postered up on the wall with measurements. the man's son(?) has created the sprite out of a meccano-like set of metal strips and whatnot with sharp teeth and the real live version is tapping the man on the shoulder, who is fearfully glancing over his shoulder.

Also, the conservatives are going to absolutely destroy the CBC, one of our most prized and important national institutions. All because Pierre is Ezra Levant's wormy little understudy, and fact-based journalism doesn't fuel conspiracy lawsuits. The CPC brings us Trumpism.

The CBC provides Canadian news and tells Canadian stories. It's an important part of cultural sovereignty.

A strong CBC is at the heart of a strong Canada.

@frankfrankultimate.bsky.social Here is my custom tombstone, Frank. P.S.; I made a reference to the funeral scene led by Gargoyle and the Neo-Atlanteans from episode 31 of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water to make this tomb.

New product announcement!

There are incredible high-quality audio/video solutions for our retro consoles, but power has been sadly neglected. Not anymore.

It's been a week trying to paint these new plastic ornaments that I bought at the Dollar Tree from last Friday, but at least I've finished painting them on Thursday. So, my new Christmas ornaments that I've painted were a reindeer and a Santa hat. This was made on Instagram back on December 15th.
