Also no-one does nonsense quite like a heavy metal band. (I say that from a place of love.)

From the reverse of the Judas Priest album Firepower:

"Forged by conflagration of molten metal fury in Hellion-Metallian
A warrior for justice and salvation - ultimate god of firepower: Titanicus"

@TG_Esq I think that's a phenomenal album.

@TG_Esq Priest are probably my favourite band. They have at least 10 albums which I'd call "great" and there's not many bands I can say that about.

Hey, remember the Inspector Gadget theme? That bit in the middle with the "do de do de do"?

Well, now it's stuck in your head just like it's stuck in mine. My work here is done. I shall be taking no questions.

@alexkidman I have managed to find a Heavy Metal cover on YouTube which is mitigating the problem somewhat for me.

If anyone needs to know, ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ is on SBS.

It’s been recently hard to find.

@wikipedia I gotta say Climate Change is the one that matters.

Bluesky vs. Mastodon is not as black and white as many seem to think.

Let me explain why. 🧵

  1. A Twitter founder funds and advises Bluesky.

Okay, a Twitter founder (@ev) runs a for-profit instance, and another (@biz) has offered to advise Mastodon.

  1. Bluesky accepted VC money.

A VC firm owns 3 of the top 5 largest Mastodon servers

  1. An evil corporation (Twitter) helped develop Bluesky.

An evil corporation (Google) helped develop the Fediverse

I have further thoughts here...

At age 51 I still have to pause, every time, to remember if what I mean is 'asterisk' or 'Asterix'.

@GlenDownton Just pick the word that feels right at the time.

You don't have to be too dogmatix about it ;)

Eldest kid is OK with pixel art games, and modern games.

But show him some early 3D games and it breaks his brain. He can’t comprehend Tekken 2.
