tfw you are improving pedestrian access for your entire neighbourhood
It’s Bart Simpson, spraying water on a crappy dinosaur sponge that is going to disappoint him. But he’s joyful, for now.

The house at the end of Sentimental Value
Ally Sheedy’s “glow up” from the end of The Breakfast Club that everyone hates. Also I get the house being redecorated in the way it is is thematic but it really does look like shit

It's the Rona in the sultry pose Branson drew her in, painted on the mud flaps of a truck. You know what? It looks good. It looks... right.

Someone got particularly into building roads here for some reason
The bit of France with the most roads in a tiny area. A surprising amount. I checked—it’s not where Asterix’s village was

Listening to the 300th episode of Off Menu where Ed and James pick their most recent dream menus
It's the future version of Cat and Rimmer from Red Dwarf in S06E06, who have become completely unrelatable to the original crew, and whose tastes have become, by being completely spoiled by unlimited power, evil.

When researching this one I discovered there's an ENTIRE BOOK about the Amstrad CPC... but it's only in French. Can someone buy this for me so I can read it by holding my phone in front of it with Google Translate and otherwise enjoy the pictures
Pix'n Love Editions Generation Amstrad CPC book, which was published EXACTLY a year ago, weirdly. https://www.editionspixnlove.com/tous-nos-ouvrages/1104-generation-amstrad-cpc-9782371882225.html

New exp.! Ubisoft's first game is almost completely forgotten, possibly because it's an unlicensed adaptation of Dawn Of The Dead. But it's survival horror before the genre existed, and more people should know about it: expzine.com/2025/10/30/z...

The @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social library is so good
Bette Davis Legendary Actress "I think without doubt that video- games are absolutely horrendous. Mentally they're horrendous. I think it's better that families play real games together. Checkers. Scrabble. Monopoly I think it's ridiculous to try and play those games or others like them on a TV screen. If I were bringing up children today I wouldn't allow it. I think it's terrible on their eyes; I don't think the next generation of people are going to have any vision! Half the time they're in there playing those games they should be outside playing other things. Or reading books. I've heard that people think they are therapy: come on. Let's have aggression with one another and get it out of our systems." In Videogaming Illustrated, Number 3, Dec 1982
