The villagers cast out one whose song didn't rhyme...
Defeat the Mysterious Monsters! Retrieve the four Mysterious Musical Notes and collect the Mysterious Gems!

Because of AWS I couldn't have a shower this morning.
(actually, that's because I regrouted the bathroom and it needs to dry, but thanks Geoff Amazon!)

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

This is just incredible
A tiny, tagged Monarch butterfly has flown from Southern Ontario in Canada to *Oklahoma* in a couple of weeks, as part of their migration
And they haven't got google maps open on their phones either, they just know where to go

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

When teachings students to code back in the days one of the assignments would be to automate an intersection like this, could be controlled by any 8bit microcomputer usually using Comal-80 as the programming language.
There will be a tiny chapter in my book about these educational-kits :-)

Presumably the mice will be bringing him "ancient" 80s and 90s artefacts this time around, like VHS tapes, old Sinclair computers, Giant heavy mobile phones, Pogs, shell suits, brightly coloured transparent visor hats...

Sooner or later they'll have the amazing idea of search/replacing "defence" for "war"...
The dipshits did it. DoD now points to war.gov. They’ve rebranded it DOW with a new logo and shitty fonts. Except there are obviously tons of pages where it’s still DoD.

@kenney.nl Hi! Do you have a preferred wording for crediting asset use in the credits?
Something like "Contains graphics based on Kenney.nl assets"
Also have you ever drawn higher res versions of the little characters in the 1bit sets?
Thanks!
