Just implemented CAS for a new BBS project, did i push things too far github.com/robbiew/retr...

Sad how neglected the Mac Pro has been as it's still such a stunning machine every time I see it. Apple did it dirty.

Organized by an 18-year old sorority member. Join me in thanking her for organizing this important event!
One of the two lonely police officers (present but doing nothing at this peaceful protest) estimated the crowd at 1000.
18-year olds can change the world.👏👏👏

James Gunn's Peacemaker was a pretty awesome ride. But S2 finale felt rushed, disconnected from the rest of the season's overall narrative.
A big "oops, your strategy is showing..." ending.
That said, it's a whole more more interesting than whatever Marvel has going on.

Sitting here mad now that there's no Pulp solving mysteries tv show.
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.
