There's really not much more I can say! Not that #britain is much better but wake up #america, #trump is screwing you!

James C Rocks @jamescrocks.com · 25/05/2026

I mean we're not short of morons in the UK either but this pretty much says it all. #trump & co are fleecing ordinary, admittedly moronic, Americans. #trump #djt #potus #maga #morons #america

Seems entirely fair (and I say that as someone who's been watching quite a bit of it)! 🤣 #snowboarding #winterolympics

The DMV is to beef up its practical driving test with a module on maintaining control of your vehicle while being murdered by fascists.

It's shocking just how many people who, when presented with this and asked to identify which was male and which was female, insisted the female one was the one with an extra rib 🙄

Well, I thought it was #funny given the crap going on with #trump and the #bbc :) #humour #spoof

Would you look at that? I did a #bash quiz on @w3schools.bsky.social and got 23 out of 25... granted a few of the questions were guesswork on my part and some more were just ones I knew did something although I know precious little about them but hey ho, not bad for a #windows user! #linux

No, no! Not the #Spectrum! The #Commodore #VIC20 has that honour I'm afraid.

From @newsthump.com and yes, it seems entirely fair that the organisation is not institutionally racist... er... yeah... about that... #police #policing #racism #misogyny

A promotional post for a struggling #sciencefiction #author, #simongoodson to hopefully keep him in business.

Don't you love it when you stay in waiting for #couriers, #DPD in this case, and the useless jokers can't even be arsed to try?

From @newsthump.com: I'm not even anti #jeremycorbyn, just smart enough to realise that he'll never gain power in the UK (mainly because of our poison media) and will only achieve what #farage did with the #conservatives. Mind you, it does improve the case for #proportionalrepresentation. #pr

Well F***! I invested £250 in #starcitizen (@robertsspaceind.bsky.social) in 2012. I'm 68 now & bored with multi-player so I sold my interest to a friend for £70 late last year. Might still get the chance to play the standalone, #squadron42 though... ...AND ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO RSI!

I'll find out early next week 🤣

From @newsthump.bsky.social: Maybe but those who say so have lost track of one thing; stupid or not, such people have the vote and the power to affect nations. Fascists/right-wingers have realised how to tap that gullibility... as it currently stands, democracy no longer works. #fptp #democracy

I'll always remember her as Dawn, Buffy's new younger teenage sister. My older daughter and I have been rewatching Buffy (currently just before "Graduation Day", Pts 1 & 2) and, Ms Gellar's message ("The Gift"), is the one line in Buffy that gets me truly emotional... I go to pieces every time! RIP!

Yay! Looks like my Firestick supports Dropout TV (@dropouttv.bsky.social) ... any of you geeks haven't seen it yet then you need to get on it and watch "Um, Actually"! #Geeks #GeekStuff

How do you choose who to follow back? My method... if someone follows me, I check their profile, the things they post, & if they pretty much repost everything, I back away. Too much focus on US politics, the same. If they're left-wing, atheist and/or focus of British politics then I follow back.

Commodore VIC20 was my very first computer so...

James C Rocks @jamescrocks.com · 31/01/2025

But did you upgrade it? I added a 5¼" drive, then more memory (640K should be enough for anyone), then a 10Mb HD (absolute luxury). Late eighties, my late twenties, and the beginning of many upgrades (just done another a couple of days back) so when I see things like this, I laugh. Ha! Amateurs! 😂

Not that I'm one to post pictures of cute animals but this one (my daughter's) decided I should pay attention to him rather than do anything on my PC. His name's Nugget and I'm told he has his own Instagram page... I think it's called "nine lives of nugget" but I don't have an account.

Bible Flaws #2: There’s no evidence that Noah’s Ark ever existed and even if it did, it could never have worked and there’s no way that it could carry the ancestors of the billions of species we observe around us today.

On Alien Life. Do I believe there are alien life forms out there? Sure. Do I believe they've visited us? No idea. The only thing I know (can know) with reasonable certainty is that there is just one place we know life exists, here on Earth. The truth might be out there but we haven't found it yet.

Biblical Flaws #1: The Earth is some five billion years old, not a few thousand as often claimed by religious fundamentalists.

My F360 training is going OK although clearly I've a long way to go. I recently designed and printed these... HINT: they're wheelie bin clips designed to stop the big plastic bag from falling down inside said bin. Next stop, a Huawei smartwatch charging stand.

So I finished Arnold Rountree's 16 part course on Fusion 360 which is cool. With a few more lessons I might be able to divorce myself from TinkerCAD which'll be nice.
