I found this is near Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye. I'm not sure what they were in their original form, and I'm not sure what they are now, but I rather like both.

Rocket propellants are often fun. This one is designed to fuck things up on a magnitude that's up there with Project PLUTO, by using elemental fluorine reacting with liquid lithium _heated by cesium-137_.
For when you absolutely positively have to fuck literally everything that so much as looks at your exhaust funny.
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.
- Birds still flying away from you when you try to photograph them eh?
- What? Why would you say that?

- Yes. Yes they are.

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...
