‘People still remember it 40 years later’: the making of Chuckie Egg The iconic game that came to define 8-bit programming still conjures flutters of nostalgia 40 years on – all thanks to a 15-year-old tea boy who worked a Saturday shift in a computer shop in Greater M...

Hi I wrote about the making of classic platformerChuckie Egg and talked to its creator Nigel Alderton. Please give it a read as I want to show there’s an audience for this gaming history stuff 🙏

Reform UK Candidate Claimed COVID Was 'Pentagon-Led Plot' in Conspiracy Theory Journal Exclusive: Reform candidate David Booth is listed as the author of a paper arguing the pandemic was "staged" by Western military and intelligence agencies

Conspiracy theories claiming Covid-19 was a “staged event” are an insult to all who lost loved ones and a threat to public health.

Reform must remove David Booth as a candidate and clearly disown these dangerous lies.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

The US military has 22 sites in the UK.

Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran.

This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more.

The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order.

Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not.

For there can be no greater test for any constitution.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Europeans might ask themselves this question. If Trump does not care about Putin helping the Iranians to kill Americans, do you think he will care at all about Putin trying to kill Europeans?

It's too late for proof. Operation Krasnov is reaching its endgame.

What started as financial ties for familial gain has evolved into something far more dangerous.

A mentally declining asset being milked for everything he’s worth while Putin watches his slot machine pay out the final jackpot.

Daily Mail front page attacking Keir Starmer for Donald Trump’s disgusting behaviour…

This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.

Labour lost white working-class voters to Greens in Gorton and Denton, party analysis finds Lucy Powell says byelection showed people need a ‘reason’ to vote Labour, as senior figures consider change in strategy

Remember Lucy's public letters to Zack Polanski telling him Labour was the only alternative to Reform?

Now she is lecturing everyone on what a bad approach that is. Couldn't make it up.

The deep, deep stench of corruption.

Trump administration lifts sanctions on millions of barrels of Iranian oil The Treasury Department’s authorization of the sale of Iranian crude already at sea is likely to provide revenue for Iran’s war effort against the U.S.

Brilliant.

US invaded Iran to replace an old, dying Khameini with a younger, more radical Khameini and to BUY oil from the Islamic Republic and give them MORE money.

GENIUS STUFF!

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Where do I get me some of those!!?

Tice 'avoided £600,000 in tax' Gabriel Pogrund - Whitehall Editor Tice sits in front of a tacky Reform football shirt designed for utter saps and losers, grinning about his tax dodging and wealth

Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.

I bizarrely remember buying games for my C64 in Boots!! 😆

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

Oh.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Zelenskyy has the cards

Zelenskyy: "We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security."

It's like when the fascist Oswald Mosley's grandson, who Palantir hired to run its UK operations, appeared on Laura Kuenssberg wearing a black T-shirt.

None of this is accidental: it's all answering the question, 'what message do I want to send?' 'Fascism to immigrants' is the message Mahmood does.

Daily Mail headline: IRAN WAR: DAY FOUR U.S. lambasts 'hand-wringing, pearl-clutching' Starmer as Kemi says he's 'scared' of his own voters

The Sun: INACTION THIS DAY PM wont hit Iran back Rift grows with US Prez

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

Full Farage

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Bravo!

It's a reminder that Brexit had nothing to do with our interests. It was an elite project backed by extreme rightwing billionaires and their concierges, many of whom had no vote or standing in this country. Yet it was packaged as patriotism by the very people collaborating with foreign interests.

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵
