Yes, that random dude from the other place. Still playing Spectrum games, listening to prog rock and worrying about the climate crisis. Interested in motives and renewable tech.

Trump and the corrupt, bootlicking clowns he has surrounded himself with have absolutely destroyed America and the world order it presided over. We are almost certainly not prepared for what comes next.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

The ZX Spectrum Computing Christmas High Score challenge starts tomorrow. The first game is one I'd never heard of before, but is an absolute cracker. An early Ocean 16k game called "Transversion". Join in the fun here: spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewt...

I'm just watching Ian Dale on LBC and the war drums are beating with the need for the UK to be ready for a Russian conflict. Look, we do need a strong army, with good deterrents but if Russia is unable to take the Donbas on its doorstep, how realistic is it that they're in any state to take on NATO?

Not to be a killjoy, but all the memes and mockery of the EU plastic bottle caps never land with me. Yes, there was an initial period of adjustment but we made this change for a reason. It saddens me how unwilling many are to sacrifice even the smallest conveniences to ease environmental pressures.

Great video. The US wants to break the EU up so they can treat the individual countries as vassal states. They are shamelessly pumping nationalist sentiment, in the hope that these idiots will betray every European by weakening our collective power and selling us out. youtu.be/CFi-4T-ra8c?...

Still buying CD's in 2025. Don't get me wrong, I've discovered a lot of cool music through streaming and it's great for convenience but I never really feel like I have permission to fully enjoy an album until I've properly compensated the artist for it.
Praises people who buy CD's.

I've suspended my X account. The rage bait, the bots, the two tier posting and the general sea of sewage which passes through it daily was enough for me to finally hit breaking point. Looking forward to engaging more here, discussing the days issues with bonus retro / prog and climate chat.

The NHS suggests people with the new strain of flu, mask up to help prevent the spread and immediately, the usual cohort of lunatics proudly post how they will do no such thing. I'm beyond caring if they're just misinformed or malicious, they're just despicable people.

It's quite something that pretty much all my worst fears about a second Trump term have already been blown passed. Horrifying statements coming out of the White House.

Turning off the internet for the day. Please remember that every time you feel stressed your body is releasing cortisol. Choosing to flood your system with cortisol every day creates: weight gain, acne, high blood pressure, heartburn, slower healing, & lack of focus. For your own health: BREATHE!

You cannot satirise the world anymore. Real life and the culture around it have become so insane, any attempt to satirise it is just consumed, celebrated and the bar just drops another level.

Most people are vulnerable to claims of hypocrisy because throughout the course of a lifetime, whatever values we try to live by are rarely consistent with what is in our interest. Elect leaders whose interests align with your own, that is the only way to guarantee they will truly represent you.

Probably one of my favourite comments to make about climate change, is that it's not a question of whether or not you "believe" in it, it's a question of whether or not you "understand" it.

Probably the best way for the EU and UK to deal with X isn't to try and ban it but play Musk at his own game. Create high profile representative accounts which shadow his account, expose every grubby deal or fact about his past or current connections he doesn't want known. Expose and humiliate him.
