@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...

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.

Retrospecticus A Simpsons and History Podcast

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.
