Esther Rantzen has died.😢 It's so sad that she couldn't choose to end her life before the pain and suffering got too much. She did so much during her life for many brilliant causes, not least Childline. Childline has helped over 4 million children and young people since its launUch 1986. ❤️

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

Does anyone happen to know how I can get a copy of Atari Legacy magazine issue 01 (Q2 2026) in the UK? Retrolemon are sold out, and it appears atarilegacy.com don't ship from Poland to the UK - yet another bloody Brexit 'win'😭.

Right, I've never made a game in my life, but I want to make something for the Atari Jaguar (and not a lazy 68k thing). Any pointers for getting started? (This may be the start of my first complicated hobby as an adult).

There seems to be loads of people who used to post on Bluesky and no longer do. It's such a shame, and I blame myself for neglecting Bluesky so much )I also didn't do any social media, btw). I hereby commit to checking Bluesky at least once a day and posting interesting things when I find them.

As someone with ADHD, I therefore tend to 'occasionally' procrastinate. To the point where if there was a world championship in procrastination, I might get round to taking part at some point in the future. Anyway, I bought a Bambu Lab P1S and AMS 18 months ago. OMG IT'S AWESOME!!!

This should have been a really interesting photo as there were 20-50 bumblebees flying in and out of the holes in the building's mortar. I can only assume that Android's AI removed them all thinking they were 'noise'. I wish I'd taken a video instead.

Just a reminder that this is actually a real thing that really exists and was really made. I remember watching it with my son when he was about 5 or 6, and he would not believe me that Kiss are real (admittedly they do have super powers in the movie). How or why it ever got made? Who knows?

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

This is really spooky, so please be warned. I was walking past a pub in Gloucester and caught a glimpse of a ghost in a pub window. I took a photo, and if you look very carefully you can actually see the ghost. Before you look at the photo - you can't unsee it once you've seen it.
