My emulator now shows a graphical view of the internals of the CPU and memory.
It's really cool being able to watch the test programs running this way!
An application with 3 sub windows. "ROM Info" contains the filename of the NES ROM file and the header data. "CPU" displays the internal state of the emulated 6502 CPU, along with buttons to take one step in the execution, or to reset the system. The last window, "Memory", shows the hex output of 256 bytes of memory starting at address 0x8000.

My phone telling me I was “asleep” when I was doomscrolling literally on the same device that blared my wake up alarm 🤦🏽‍♂️
Sleep graph from the Apple Health app. Shows normal sleep phases until 6am where it shows just a vague blue blob for an hour, where I was allegedly sleeping but really doomscrolling.

I feel a little guilty that I’m basically waiting for my favourite artist to experience more emotional trauma so I can buy more of her artwork to hang up in my living room.
A piece of abstract art by PushingUpRoses aka DysmorphicArt. It consists of thick but short yellow, red and blue brush strokes that appear to form interleaved cuboid shapes. This one is similar to a piece that was posted with the caption “All of my feelings in one place”, however she doesn’t seem to like it much herself as the caption for this reads “… It’s a no from me. But always fun to experiment 🤷🏼‍♀️”

Banjo-Kazooie was considered very progressive for its time because instead of rescuing a princess or another love interest, you actually rescue your sister
This is the box art for the game Banjo-Kazooie. The eponymous duo are running towards the viewer. Under Banjo’s left arm is a purple jinjo who seems done with life, and his right arm is reaching out for a golden jiggy that’s almost within his grasp. Kazooie is sticking out of Banjo’s backpack with her wings spread out (bonus points for a playable female character??). The antagonist of the game, Gruntilda the witch, can be seen in the background and appears to be chasing the duo in gargantuan form (which never happens in the game). Her left hand is creeping towards the viewer and is moments away from clutching our heroes. Various characters are dotted around the cliffs and behind the brim of Grunty’s hat, but just play the game already.

Forget banging pots and pans, if you’re gonna spit in the faces of NHS workers do it properly! It’s wonderful to be appreciated so much 🥰
A fast food pizza place boasting about their “exclusive 0% discount for NHS staff and key workers”. The sign probably said “10%” in the past but the “1” has been scruffily covered up with white paper and sticky tape in the shape of a “1”. This was most likely done due to difficult economic circumstances.
