Nice offer on Amazon - if you buy all Adam & The Ants sheet music, they'll throw in a stand and deliver.

Based on conversion and how the BBC generates revenue, if we had to pay out Trump's $1b, that would be around £20 for each TV licence payer.

Even if the BBC lost, paying £20 to constantly have the claims of what he did analysed and repeated in court would be well worth it. Game on Donald.

Automattic has been working with the Internet Archive to develop a plugin to combat link rot, and it's a plugin I'd encourage you to install. As the plugin says: When a linked page disappears, the plugin helps preserve your user experience by redirecting visitors to a reliable archived version. It also works proactively by archiving your own posts every time they’re updated, creating a consistent backup of your content’s history. I've been doing this manually on my old archives, fixing broken links and tending the garden. But we can make it all automatic. 🙂

This is the sarcastic content I go to Reddit for on a Friday evening. Beautifully done.

Whether TV, online or print media, why can marketers never represents gamers properly? Here's Amazon showing someone holding a games controller in a way that nobody would.

The argument I've heard about this all day, including on @lbc.co.uk this afternoon, is that "they're not all, white middle-aged men".

I'm very sure 100% are not but images from recent demonstrations would tend to suggest it's a tar brush worth using.

A test of the National Emergency Alert sounded today in the UK at 3pm. Some people on Reddit, and even mentioned on BBC News, mentioned receiving it it twice. As did I. This appears to be down to having 2 SIMs installed, so you're getting an alert for each network.

Gotta say, even as a MOC, people sharing guns and knives made of Lego on Reddit makes me feel like putting my head in my hands and sobbing loudly.

@support.bsky.team Hi Bluesky 👋🏼 I see a lot of people replying to posts with pins. I know how they work and what they're being used for, but a conversation that half consists of people putting up large pin emojis is not fun.
