I wrote a lovely poem about the good old days, to go with the nice pink one off Facebook that's quoted below.

The Good Old Days

Tuberculosis, ricketts
Polio and smog
He kicked the wife for five days
On weekends kicked the dog
The choir boys were fiddled with
The priest put round the plate
And then those lads went off to war
And mental health was great.
My gran made broth with only bone
She couldn't afford cheese
And several of her kids died
From preventable disease
Wasn't allowed a bank account
Couldn't get a job
Tuberculosis, ricketts
Polio and smog.

Far too many MAME users update regularly and tend to ignore plug & play stuff, sticking to just the arcade games they know about. I always enjoy pointing them to games like this.

..and if you play only one XaviX based game, make sure it's Geigeki Go Go Shooting. This shmup doesn't deserve to be a plug and play exclusive. Satoshi Fujishima formerly of Compile was involved in the development. The new sound emulation does it justice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRAL...

This is a big ask, but for the last couple of years, my sister-in-law and her family have been running a wonderful 'pay what you can' eatery out of NC called thequiltmakercafe.org. Now they finally have a permanent address, but they need help with the funds.

People are allowed to make jokes about Casablanca, it's not a sacred cow, not is it a factual representation of World War 2. It doesn't devalue the struggle against fascism, just let people enjoy things once in a while. (It's not AI either.)

What if we all have some kind of creepy ancestral memory where in ancient times witches used to go around guillotining sleeping people's feet off.

When Tommy Ten Names unwinds, he likes nothing more than chopping up a big fat line or two of journalistic material.

He's not a journalist, he's a fascist thug in a suit.

Tommy Robinson refused to give police phone Pin to protect 'journalistic material'

Sketchy drawing of Doctor Phillip K. Decker from the movie Nightbreed. He's in his serial killer outfit, which some fans have taken to call Button Face because of the creepy face mask featuring two buttons over the eyes. The drawing was done on an index card..

Today's Hallowmeme.

The Dr. Manhattan on Mars meme, which shows the blue nudey dudey sitting on a rock with a photograph in his hand as he ponders the past, present and future. The good Doctor is now Frankenstein's monster, all green with ragged stitches, and he's sitting on a rock in the snowy Arctic North.
