@manmademoon.bsky.social Hi. We recently spoke about a showing of Moon next year at EMF Camp. Could you allow a BSky chat or let me know how best to contact you? Thanks.

@manmademoon.bsky.social We’re planning on showing Moon next year as part of a Hacker Camp in the UK. Could we discuss it with you?

It’s Band Camp Friday today & they don’t take commission so it’s a great day to download. Or you can just stream it for free. Maybe I shouldn’t mention that. Forget I said that bit.

If you wanna repost the message below that would’ve very helpful too.

Appreciate it it, thanks x

There's going to be a CamJam on the 1st of March.
We will be needing talks, "show and tell" tables and most importantly Jam makers.

First day at Kingfisher. The usual fun of getting a Microsoft account set up on a Mac. 🤣 Remembering how much I detest Euston. 🤣🤣

In case you missed it, a fun story about a genuine absolute nutter.
Just for fun, let me tell you about somebody you've probably never heard of, but who was once one of the most famous people in England, a national hero, a disgraced fraudster, and an astonishingly accomplished piratical maniac.

He led quite a life. (1/53)

** THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE **
Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Spent four hours rewiring the office and maybe, just maybe, I have a setup I’m finally happy with. I need access to three computers, so this new keyboard and mouse can switch between them with a keypress and the little remote changes the HDMI input. It works!!

A reminder that the Stansilav Petrov story is both more complex and more terrifying than people think.

I did a full deep dive into it, but importantly WHY the USSR was at launch-on-warning (which is what would have caused catastrophe) many years ago.
