I can, without a doubt, assert that I am the only person in the Kingdom of Belgium to wear a Chodney Boroff name tag. #ClaimToFame @cheapshow.bsky.social

Mes enfants m'ont demandé de ramener des céréales exotiques qu'on n'a pas chez nous. C'est chose faite. Mais surtout, je vais avoir un swag de dingue au marché avec mon sac Wallace & Gromit à l'avenir.

Also achieved another dream by meeting @ashens.bsky.social in the flesh and getting a picture. Followed the guy for what, 20 years now? And him and Barshens are what got me into @cheapshow.bsky.social and @sequelisers.bsky.social too. So basically the ur-Brit YouTuber as far as I'm concerned.
Me next to Stuart Ashen. Also awkwardly holding CheapShow Magazine #19.

You know how they say never to meet your heroes? Bollocks to that. These guys put up a two hour show, then stayed on THREE BLOODY HOURS to meet and greet every single one of us. Chat, picture, autographs, you name it. These guys are just good people.

@computinghistory.org.uk is an incredible museum. Was not expecting it to cover gaming as well, but it's a major, extensive and superb part. The Zelda OoT and Majora soundtrack in the background also really give the feels, man.

The left has a pretty clear advantage in the polls, but I'm not taking any chances. The far right (Sweden Democrats or SD) is polling at 18.5 % and the right-leaning parties are absolutely fine governing with them. The SD party leader already has his sights on becoming PM in 2030.
Polling data from SVT (Swedish public service television). Shows that in the latest survey in August 2026, the left red-green block (Left Party, Social Democrats, Greens, Centrists) would get 53.9 % (± 1.8 %), whereas the right (so called Tidö) block (Liberals, Christian Democrats, Moderates, far right Sweden Democrats) would get 43.9 % (± 1.8 %).

I might have a new favourite word.
Screen capture from Urban Dictionary.

Definition of "botlicker": similar to bootlicker, someone who is overly deferential to AI and is willfully blind to the catastrophic use of artificial intelligence. They use AI in all art forms, support hiring AI over people, and have possibly already succumbed to the negative cognitive impact of dependency on AI.

On peut par exemple voir ceci sur BruCiel, où le lit du Molenbeek est encore clairement visible en 1953.
Capture d'écran de BruCiel, avec à gauche une photo de 1953, à droite celle de 2024. La zone illustrée est une section de l'avenue du Hunderenveld. En 1953, elle n'existe pas encore et on voit clairement le parcours du Molenbeek, qui correspond à la frontière actuelle officielle entre région flamande et région bruxelloise à cet endroit.

Markus Lindström @markpage.be · 07/08/2026
J'espère qu'ils vont suivre le tracé officiel de la frontière, qui suit l'ancien lit du Molenbeek.
Capture d'écran d'OpenStreetMap, montrant que la frontière entre la Région flamande et la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale sur l'avenue du Hunderenveld ne suit pas la chaussée, mais semble zig-zaguer tout le long. Ceci s'explique que la frontière a été tracée bien plus tôt, quand la rivière du Molenbeek était encore à l'air libre.

Man taking selfie with smartphone, 1904. National Museum, Stockholm, Sweden.
Picture of a painting from the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. A man in a black suit is sitting on a chair, looking at the painter. He holds a notepad in his left hand and a pen in his right. The notepad's leather cover has a similar size and shape of a modern smartphone, making it look like the man "took the painting" as a selfie.
