Yes! Thank you! I'm so happy to see this happening. Signed up and donated.

Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.

Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.

Join us. The time is now.

I expected to read an announcement of the show coming to an end, so I can hopefully keep it together until Friday. Please never fucking stop! Except for Sean's predicament. That can stop.

For day 8 I appear to have a tiny stargate.

I'm a bit behind with the Pico calendar but I got around to day 7 today. It's all about an analogue slider today, which I think wasn't quite as sensitive as the code suggested. Still works though. :)

I spent far too long trying to figure out why the second LED wasn't working in this exercise, to the point of completely reseating the LED and wires. It turned out I'd forgotten to add the actual code!

My Raspberry Pi Pico breadboard with its new DIP switch module. The switches are set to activate a pattern on the LED module.

Dip switches today, which it turns out are incredibly fiddly. I learnt some interesting stuff about elif statements.

KITT, we're leaving.

I had one for a while! It was insane. I think you opened the disc tray by resetting the Mega Drive while holding the start button, or something like that.

Just got around to working through day 3 of the Pi Pico advent calendar. Buttons! They now make the LED flash and add or subtract integers.

Superman and Lois managed a perfect ending to a fantastic show. Easily my favourite on-screen Superman thing.

It could so easily have been awful, but everything that could have ruined it (Clark's kids!) was perfectly handled.

I've treated myself to a Raspberry Pi Pico advent calendar this year. Day 1 was basic setup, but today I made an LED blink. Witness my power!

My wife's a vet and has some ideas of what's going on, and we're hoping it just needs time to heal.

In rabbit news, one of our rabbits stopped using his hind legs a few weeks ago and we've been trying to nurse him back to health. We can get him using them again after a few days of medicine, but he slides back if we stop. :(

I'm one episode behind right now, but the last episode I saw was just wonderful. A brilliant take on the whole secret identity thing, which is a subject this show's handled so much better than the Arrowverse shows that spawned it.

I've been catching up with Superman and Lois, which I still think is one of the best versions of Superman I've seen on screen. I'm going to miss it when it's gone.

Next up I might try and finish that other new game, FFVII: Rebirth.

After about 120 hours and months of play, I think I've finally passed the point of no return in Baldur's Gate 3.

I've had to knock the difficulty down to easy for some of the tougher fights, but I think I'm ready for it to be done now.

Oh FFS.

Well it's been an interesting morning. My daughter has a temperature so can't go to nursery, and one of our rabbits seems to have a dodgy back. Luckily it's my work from home day but I'm not sure how much work is going to get done.

We said goodbye to our cat this week. :( The house feels so empty now. Goodbye Groot, you beautiful sofa hog.

I became a medieval poet in Minecraft It's a bard block life for Emma Kent, as she becomes an actual poet on a medieval role-playing server in Minecraft.

EG has made @goneefk.bsky.social's (formerly subscriber-only) piece about role-playing as a medieval poet in Minecraft available to all, and it's a total delight – from the recording of the musical round to the absolute chef's kiss of a final-line pun. 👏👏👏 www.eurogamer.net/emmas-advent...

Eddie Gordo's arrived in Tekken 8. Tekken 3 has taught me this means I'm in for a terrible, terrible time.

Well there goes Deck Nine into the bin. I love the Life is Strange series but the studio sounds like it's run by some truly horrible people.

This is such a fantastically composed and historically meaningful final photo of Ingenuity, taken by Perseverence before it drove away, that I want to make it my phone background but also I don't want to cry every time I look at my phone screen. 🥺
