At the DMZ in S Korea they had an exhibit which included examples of alcohol made in N Korea which was interesting. While they also sold recreated examples at a nearby shop I didn't grab any as that just felt oddly weird. Like commercialisation of a tragedy.

I think my favourite example of a game security flaw was in the Firefly game where the Captain Reynolds outfit DLC entirely compromised your system. It was Malwear.

Another e-mail now I am back , with rare positive comments for appointment of Lucy Powell who seems to stand for trans rights. A small step, not enough by itself, but letting them know I see it and want more like that.
We heard last week that the anti-trans lot write to Keir Starmer very regularly, some write at least once a week. And that’s all he’s hearing. He needs to hear from us. Write to him today, then put a note in your diary to write to him again next week, and the next...

Rereading @gailsimone.bsky.social uncanny x-men and it makes me feel like I did reading Claremonts work back in the day, just with her own more polished modern style. I love it as it does not feel like nostalgia bait, it is its story, but gets the vibe just right

Good to hear people are worrying about the real, definitely existing, issues, similar to how I fear Squirrel Girl is sending her squirrels to steal my beer.
"Went to a presentation last night. Local councillor. There's a lot of very angry people like us, Ron, worried the Tories are getting too liberal."
This is a real actual I'm-not-making-it-up-because-honestly-how-COULD-I thing I just overheard at the gym.

I am starting to draw a connection between how often songs in the 90s said "jump" and how stuffed my knees are in my old age.

Another banger of a tasting at @indiespiritbath.bsky.social ,this time Cooper's Choice. Showing his class, when Chris was not happy with one of the drams on the line up, he added an extra dram! Pure style. Whisky from the closed Dumbarton distillery, a banger of a Caol Ila. Lovely
