Purely from a gameplay perspective, I think you should get to replay certain stages at the end of your life.

Journalist: "So what do you think long-distance air travel is going to look like in 2050?"

Climate Scientist laughs derisively: "By 2050, most long-distance holiday destinations will be uninhabitable, so I expect the majority of long-distance air traffic to be non-existent by 2050."

Phew. Hadn't heard it THAT bleakly during a live interview yet.

The most American amateur radio fun fact I've heard of: "Home Owner Association doesn't allow me to put an antenna on my house so I installed a US flag with an antenna inside the flag pole."

Rescued a meme without alt-text.

Beyond including #UBI, the original version of what is now called monopoly had a cooperative or "Prosperity" mode.

The whole point of the game was to show how competing for profit destroys society!

The game was created to be a "practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences".

The astronauts aboard the ISS were amazed by the April 8 solar eclipse, just like the rest of us, and went crazy snapping photos from orbit.

They got some amazing views of the Moon's shadow sweeping across southern Canada & Maine, seen from 420 km (261 miles) above: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/with/53645140833 #space #eclipse #space #astronomy

The Moon's shadow, or umbra, is pictured covering portions of the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick and the American state of Maine in this photograph from the International Space Station as it soared into the solar eclipse from 261 miles above.

Pretty funny - Nintendo Network shut down today finally and Wii U and 3DS device support ended.

Pretendo, an effort to keep devices online via homebrew, kept quiet an SSL bug which enables them to spoof being Nintendo Network via just a DNS server change 🤣🫡

I’m reading up on this XZ security issue. Does it affect the XZ80 and XZ81 or is it only the XZ Spectrum that’s at risk?

桜の花が咲くと人々は酒をぶらさげたり団子だんごをたべて花の下を歩いて絶景だの春ランマンだのと浮かれて陽気になりますが、これは嘘です。なぜ嘘かと申しますと、桜の花の下へ人がより集って酔っ払ってゲロを吐いて喧嘩して、これは江戸時代からの話で、大昔は桜の花の下は怖しいと思っても、絶景だなどとは誰も思いませんでした。

Kinoko no yama earphones that allegedly translate 127 languages. Kind of cute.

(Btw, I think there's a space for this kind of product, even though they won't work perfectly.)
