It's the 26th anniversary of SNL's only airing of likely the most subversive sketch in the show's entire history: "Conspiracy Theory Rock" –– a Robert Smigel cartoon that, unsurprisingly, would be cut from all future reruns.
Smigel (my old boss!) posted this version today, which is much higher quality than the terrible one going around YouTube. Share this one!

Does anyone have any opinions on handheld emulator consoles? I'm thinking I might purchase my first piece of gaming hardware since the Xbox 360 and I have very little knowledge to draw on.
What I'm thinking: I really want to be able to emulate at least into the dreamcast era, and pushing the extra step into ps2/gc would probably be 99%+ of every game I'd ever want emulated. My cursory research suggests that the Ayn Odin 2 would be ideal for this, as well as even emulating some switch games. Would love to hear any opinions of it, and switch games are more of a nice-to-have so if there are cheaper systems that handle the rest I'd be interested to hear about that as well.
This is one post I'd really like to see boosted into the tech corner of fedi because I could really use perspective from people who've actually kept up with this stuff.

Plague Ships.
Back in the first year of the plague cruise liners began to appear off the coast of South Devon. At first an incredible sight; vast, sleek temples of luxury. But, after a while, as they sat there, empty and redundant, they became a far more malign sight; emblematic of the state we had allowed ourselves to get to. They sat there for almost 18 months. We promised that we would "build back better". Now they're gone and that promise forgotten.

Few men even considered the possibility of having a moral and ethics in their minds and yet, across the fibers on the seafloor, minds immeasurably greedier to ours regarded this society with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.
Cue music...
Everything I write to go with this reads like a poor quality motivational poster.
Look. It's struggling to stand as upright as it did in its youth, and needs a bit of support, OK?
Like we all do, now and then.
Be the stick people.
BE THE STICK.

A political leader should take public transit, send their kids to public school, use the same healthcare as the rest of us. At the very least they should have done so regularly before taking office. We don't need to be ruled by aristocrats. You aren't qualified to run the city if you use your money to opt out of living in it.
‘The Mortimiser' is something I’ve been chipping away at for a few months now.
It uses the Bob Mortimer naming formula of ordinary first name with a noun/nonsense/mundane word. Who will you be today? Kenneth Warhammer? Agnes Buttery?
That's all it does. Nothing fancy!
Scotland in the sunshine is a happy place. Just look how happy!
