This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Spent a quiet minute this morning to remind myself of how fortunate I am to have this space exactly how I want it. No minimalist power-desk here.

Goog gravy, this Nostromo build is wonderful.
It's a rebrickable build of the recent Millenium Falcon, by Creation Caravan, and it's awesome. :)

My latest weapon in the fight against data harvesting, AI propagation and the eroding of ownership. My new (to me) X220 is running Linux Mint, is portable, upgradable and I decide absolutely what software goes on it.
It's very refreshing and ideal for everyday tasks.
No, it won't run Crysis.

@andreworton.bsky.social Antiques Roadshow last night featured a chair that had appeared in Dr.Who and Blake’s Seven but no-one could trace its origin. I knew straight away - it’s a Luigi Colani from 1970 (see brown chair at mid-left in pic). His work was featured in many 70’s sci-fi series.

My boy sent me this last night - he’s at ’The Royal Philharmonic plays Metal Gear’ at the Albert Hall, including video clips and some of the voice cast live.

I've just installed Linux on a ThinkPad laptop and added some apps with the terminal.
This is hopefully the start of at least a little freedom from corporate tech.

Ironically for me - that final update fixed a lot of crippling UI errors I'd had for a loooong time.

This. So much fucking THIS
feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*
I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?
It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?
