Just being a nerd here: but it can't be "8-bit" as it says in the text, if it was originally an Amiga game (16-bit).

A little bit of the Jurassic Coast, West Dorset/Devon. View towards the cliffs, sea to the right. Greens in dappled sunlight colour the sloping land on the left. In the distance, greys and many shades give depth to the cliffs where the sea turns to mist.

I'm still amazed that your system selects judges through a partisan model... Totally alien to me. Surely they should be neutral? (For all my system's many faults, it does this a little bit better, I think)

Opinion: Of course the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury should be renamed Someone who openly spoke about assaulting children has been honoured, over and over again, in their lifetime and in the years after their death, because they had a good career in broadcasting

It is news to me too... But:

Jim Broadbent?

#taskmaster. Can't help but wish I had Jo as a friend: so amazingly positive. Such infectious joy!

Get the double denim(?) one too? That's a conversation starter.

#taskmaster solo task as an open. Great, great start :)

Phew. Just looked it up.

Oh no.... I've never tried and now I wonder if it's right in my head.

I love private eye, (and subscribe). But he's right, isn't he? Lot quicker to build solar and onshore wind than anything else.

Looking forward to this

Noticed a pigeon nest from my hotel window. Been watching mum feed the chicks through the day. Not seen it for an hour and thought: maybe I just missed it?

Surprised myself at the relief I felt on seeing her fly back. Hadn't realised how invested I was.

I've always had zero interest in dressage, but this thread keeps on giving. I could even get myself to watch the dancing horses at some point and it would all be sooz's fault.

Any chance of some more episodes? 4 isn't anywhere near enough!

Definitely one for fans of Maid Marion and Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series. Really fun reads. (Even for us grown ups)

[Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip] FATIHA EL-GHORRI • 'Cockney Stacking Doll' tour happening now near you! #663

Just listening to this episode. Love Fatiha, love Scroobius. Beautiful episode with a little love letter to Richard Herring in it.

And the forecast isn't too awful.. could do with a good evening of watching the skies

Been hacked?

Of maybe they want to not have blackouts and for oil imports to start up again after trump blocked them?

I like you, Fared, but sometimes your posts are suspect.

Thanks for writing it!

Oh and for your publisher to make it easy to get epubs downloaded without using Amazon :)

Took a break from my perpetual re-reading of Patchett. Really enjoyed the first of the Darkwood trilogy by @scriblit.bsky.social

Can really see how it would've been an amazing children's TV show. Thus old bloke had a good time in her world.

Just bought a couple more of Gaby's books. Recommended.

Some red potatoes

As spring is here, many of you will be thinking about getting your first early potatoes ready to plant soon.

Don’t forget that the once popular variety “red Duke of York” is now known as “Potato Mountbatten-Windsor”

:(

@airportstatusbot.bsky.social doesn't seem to show this?

Useful and timely. Valuable. UK

Yeah. For most of us sure. Utterly true in the normal sphere... But billionaires?
