It takes a village. Lee is also there.

I picked their brains clean!

If you’ve enjoyed my videos over the last few years I’d love to see you at my live shows. My tour starts in a month and sales have been slower than last year - probably partly because I’m not on X anymore. But it’s a fun show and I’d love more people to see it! www.livenation.co.uk/matt-green-t...

View from my studio. I know because of all the immigrants coming here and erasing our culture it's hard to tell - but this is actually in England.

In case you're wondering why racists are scrawling the George cross everywhere instead of the Union Jack, it's because it's much easier to draw and they're all very thick

Had a fantastic time at The Woodcraft Folk #camp100 celebrations, many thanks to the organisers for all their hard work. It had a great festival feel. Loved meeting people of all ages and I even remembered some names too!

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron.
This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.

Oof feeling gloomy today. Really feel post WWII folks tried to setup things to stop that kind of thing happening again and it's just been slowly demolished in the decades since as just wasteful red-tape and all that, so here we are again...

I went down a rabbit hole.
Looking at Google's search results, the individual film review of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning that it's given the most prominence to isn't from a big outlet. It's from someone who appears to have written two movie reviews in their life.

The most prominent review of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning via Google search is, well, something of a mystery.

If you are going to report how "reciprocal" these tariffs are or how they quantify trade barriers and economic injustices...
... please keep in mind they're not, becuase that would have required work. Instead just did:
COUNTRY'S US SURPLUS
--------------------------- = Rate%
ITS EXPORTS TO US

Made my own little trace finding, continuity testing brush probe out of some old multi core electrical cable. Just soldered the ends together and attached to a banana jack lead, works quite well, happy with that.

Somewhere in China a terrified nerd is trying to explain to a panel of interrogators that the huge USD transfers he's received are just fees for helping the world's richest man, who has the direct ear of the US President-elect, fake being really good at the early-access version of niche video game.
