@davidxnewton.bsky.social hi David, I was inspired by your myhouse videos to get into Doom modding, and I’ve give myhouse a British twist, but the only major change is in daycare. You might want to record yourself playing it, you’re in for a surprise! drive.google.com/file/d/1--1v...

@liverpoolecho.co.uk here’s an odd one: I saw the flag of Rhodesia (very problematic former country) being flown in Hightown

Beneath the oddly fitting futuristic flash and tiresome jokes about having an 'e' please Bob, was Blockbusters a forerunner of all the must-watch question-first quiz shows we have now? Here's a chat with The Chase's @skepticcanary.bsky.social about just that.

In Engels, Russia, at the oil depot hit by Ukrainian drones the situation is deteriorating. The fire continues and has reportedly spread to other tanks.

For those of you that don’t know, I do a podcast about The Simpsons and modern history called Retrospecticus, where we mostly wallow in late eighties and early nineties nostalgia retrospecticus.org

I’m impressed with Bluesky, been on for about 8 hours and it’s yet to recommend some right wing shithead for me to argue with.

Can’t see myself spending too much time here to be honest. Mostly seeing crap that I don’t need to see.

So I’m now here. I figured that if I join a viable alternative to the hellscape Elon Musk has turned Twitter into, that might be a good thing.
