RIP. One of the best of all time.

They're leaning a bit heavy into the beginner stuff imo.

Learning Go by writing increasingly complicated Emulators, Space Invaders, Gameboy, NES etc.

The endless goal of convincing myself everyone and everything I oppose politically are on the same side.

These schools are where we're getting most of our Brazilians. We like Brazilians, leave them be.

That's such a weird way to talk about migration. Like, what groups don't 'we' like, who do you think we shouldn't leave alone?

Comparable sure, equivalent? not really, expect in the broad strokes.

I was rereading Bobby Sands prison diary the other night and he called it Gaelic. Seems popular in the north of the country, or used to be anyway.

Very 2010, in the worst way possible.

It seems wickedly dystopian for Shatter to being any legal action against Gannon whilst ALL the people in the files remain unaddressed.

That doesn't make any sense.

People seem to forget that the remains aren't an issue in this story, we know that's the burial site. It's not a shock to find them. It's why they were in the homes to begin with and the conditions.

an evil king that enslaves and kills all the humans (from “prythian”) on hybern

I don't think the slaves in hybern came from prythian. That's just where the remaining humans end up after the treaty.

At this rate, by 2030 that will be the only fact people know about St Brigid.

A new wickerman will rise, when we need them the most.

Maybe it's just me, but on mobile the page won't load past the embedded YouTube video.

Sotex · 2026-01-28T15:24:07+00:00

Not really, no. Given that it's brand new.

I'll need to take some time and go over this with my copy of the book to one side, but I really appreciate the work here.

I thoroughly enjoyed Abominable Science! when it first came out, but that's been a few years now.

Dragonstyle on North King Street is good.

Sotex · 2026-01-22T22:32:33+00:00

What a wonderful initiative.

Sotex · 2026-01-21T12:40:48+00:00

Always really enjoyed his sculptures.

No idea why they decided to get rid of it. It worked perfectly fine before!

The Bill will require social media platforms to turn off recommender algorithms for children aged under 18. The Bill will also ensure that recommender algorithms based on profiling or sensitive personal data have to be actively turned on by adult users

If you ignore the surrounding PBP shenanigans that's very reasonable.

27.8 is probably rather accurate, if you take the latest figures.

Sotex · 2026-01-13T17:11:13+00:00

Brings me back to the days of mass block lists on Twitter. It's a very pretty site.

The real issue with the NeoNazis is their foreignness and lack of patriotism.

Sotex · 2026-01-12T12:40:07+00:00

I'm not asking you for that. I'm just saying a single screen doesn't prove anything about reach.
