seem to me (and I’m probably showing my age here) just like the old “cut” feature, albeit not quite as flexible but much easier to use as they don’t require weird custom markup.

Shame on you! Jesus is watching!

There once was a spaceman called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To find friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk 🦣

Brexit 

"Why is the UK struggling more than any other big country?"

I would dearly love to host my own :mastodon: instance for my own use, but for two reasons:
1. while I like programming in Ruby, I hate looking after web applications written in it; and
2. I’ve already met me, and I don’t fancy administrating myself, knowing what an argumentative shit I can be.

"Good lord, that bird’s speaking a mixture of French and English!"

Did anyone really think Twitter wouldn’t be razed to the ground?

Having been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse. It's a decentralized network that doesn't belong to any one party, so by definition there is no single culture on it. Different corners have different expectations and customs.

Just boosting that Arkanoid II music reminding me I have all the levels from the first 2 games and one of the later games loading in a #SpectrumNext project with all new SpectNext graphics. I did them a while back. Expect a bunch of projects to be reactivated when my Next arrives, errrm, next year :) Just a few of the baddy sprites missing and the engine to pop in.

Wait, Kwarteng warned her *after* the mini-budget? The one he wrote and that crashed the economy?

Twitter-related 

Did Douglas Adams write this piece? This is brilliant:

"Messages seeking comment were left with Twitter, but it is unlikely someone will respond as the communications department has been laid off."
