My own personal Retro Corner is finally completed by a 15 kHz monitor. Today was a very good day. So which of my precious trio shall I bathe in nostalgia with first? 😃 #RetroComputing #Amiga #Atari #AcornElectron

Today was a special day. I plucked up the courage to power up my oh-so-pretty Acorn Electron for the first time in some decades. Did need the ULA reseating, but she (mostly) lives! Although I have no functional cassette drive right now, so just a Snapper cartridge for now then.

Looks like I'm gonna have to avoid Bluesky for the next couple of days to avoid #F1 spoilers. I knew I shouldn't have let the algorithm know I was interested in it. 🫣

MAGA before: Release the Epstein files! Trump: The Epstein files are a hoax! MAGA now: We don’t need the Epstein files! MAGA before: No foreign wars! Trump: We're going to obliterate Iran! MAGA now: Being against attacking Iran is treason!

One limitation of bespoke EU deals is they're less likely to be enthusiastic about agreements that can be ripped up every time a fickle UK electorate decides they want a more anti-foreign government. As opposed to a binding international treaty that is harder to renege on. Which brings us to 2029…

‘I’m not saying we should negotiate to rejoin… but there is a deal to be done.’ Labour MP @stellacreasy.bsky.social reacts to David Lammy’s refusal to rule out reversing Brexit.

Have you noticed in any reference to NATO, Trump's admin already refers to it in the 3rd person? As a customer, not as as an integral member of it. The US has already left NATO. It just hasn’t formalised it yet.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

During his first term, President Trump rattled NATO allies by telling them that if they didn’t pull their weight, he could “do his own thing.” Now Washington appears to be doing just that in Russia, in the Middle East and pretty much everywhere else.

Okay, seen #TheTraitors finale now. Takeaway is that in not announcing the traitor status of final leavers guarantees it whittles down to just the 2 most generic winners. Is that desirable?

Prediction: Right wing press - Starmer should be fixing things in the UK rather than jetting around the world. Also right wing press - Starmer brings shame upon the UK by not turning up to Notre Dame’s reopening.

You are up to date.
