    I'd have about as much time for the Harry & Meghan Show as anything else on the bill at the distracting celebrity gossip circus if it wasn't so damn pervasive in my newsfeed, but since it's nearly impossible to avoid this sh*t... I find it very hard to muster any sympathy for someone born into...

    What did you BUY today?

    The worthy cause was really just trying to get the song to no. 1 No. 7 wasn't a bad result. Amazing (but not surprising) to see the lengths to which its very existence was suppressed by the mainstream media, download links left off the official charts website, the BBC refusing to mention it...

    What did you BUY today?

    Got my deposit back in full for my former house today, decided to donate something to a worthy cause.

    Thought for sure @Ian Wolf would beat me to this. Edit: Updated links since some k*** did a false copyright strike on it.

    What you guys doing right now.

    So I just did a Google image search for "1970s street with cars uk" I got about two dozen images and then this: Uh, wut?

    Might have to save my final thoughts on Disco Elysium for a while, but this is absolutely going to be seeing heavy rotation in my life. This track does not politely request, but DEMANDS to be played at speaker destroying volume.

    Anime Limited Acquired by Plaion Pictures

    I was promised a lot more “punk” in my cyberpunk dystopia where megacorporations own everything. Personally, I just hope Andrew has done this because he wanted to and not because he had to. Like I’m not going to begrudge him retiring to Barbados, but the fact Anime Limited was an independent...

    Please don't worry about it Vash. It's virtually impossible to make it through the reactive armour bricks that now comprise my skin. I'll get back to this at some point but I've just been very busy dealing with the never-ending sh*tshow that is life.

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    Not to sound like too much of a snob here, but are there actually any good 'how to draw manga' books? Every single one I've ever seen looks like it teaches you how to draw in a particular, fairly amateurish (and very '90s) looking OEL manga style and are usually produced by artists I've never...

    I have to disagree with this as I think what we have now is organised, directed and enforced production line suffering. Although perhaps it is kind of deserved because people won’t stand up to it. I’m not convinced I think a smiling man (or woman) in a suit explaining to everyone they have to...

    Apologies for the delay as your post deserves a serious response @Vashdaman but I also deserved a stable internet connection and to be able to relax with a cup of coffee while writing it, so in life as in politics, let's both get what we deserve. How's that tireless effort and organisation...

    Thought for the day whilst attempting to clean a picture frame: Why is stuff explicitly labelled “glass cleaner” the single worst thing in the world for actually cleaning glass? That someone has failed to invent a dedicated glass cleaning product that actually cleans glass without leaving it...

    If you need to watch something funny..

    In the course of events, I’ve found myself going through some things I hadn’t seen in a while, and I found this Peanuts strip which was cut out and sent to me by someone who clearly knew me too well. This used to be pinned to the wall behind my desk. It’s going back up there. Lucy best girl.

    Social policy has never been a big deal to me as personally I don’t think it’s something the government should be legislating for at all, as in just let people be. It shouldn’t matter whether people are are a different race, gender or sexuality they should all be treated the same, which to me...

    Well, you were right there, although I note almost 40% of eligible Italians didn’t even bother to vote, which says a lot about people’s faith in democracy. At least the Italians seem willing to try something different (several times now) rather than flipping between red and blue flavour neolibs...

    Quote of the day!!

    I knew this thread existed. From the man who brought you the classic (now largely ignored) “Actions speak louder than words” comes probably the single most apt quote for our times: “A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying...

    So at a time when the poorest people in society are paying out most of their incomes on rent and energy costs, Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng’s plan is to make it harder for workers to fight for better pay, harder for people to claim Universal Credit, and put the country even further into debt to...

    I bought a second hand RTX 3090 a couple of days after the crypto crash just about halved the price of them overnight. No regrets. Didn't think I'd see a better chance to upgrade, was definitely necessary to keep my frame rates up at 4k and will keep me going for a while, I imagine.

    Anime at the cinema

    At the same time, it’s nice to see them catering to a British audience.
