@tntsports In all the snooker I’ve watched I don’t think I can ever remember a player not calling a foul on themselves, if they’ve fouled. Looks like a wrong decision.

If you recognize what's happening here, you're part of a generation that also spent endless hours fine-tuning autoexec.bat and config.sys files. And if you're not sure what's going on in the video, I honestly envy your youth.

One of the most underrated facts in space history: The Soviet Union landed cameras on the surface of Venus in the 1970s and 80s. We have real photographs. From the surface. Of Venus. The probes melted within hours. The images survived.

Hegseth: "Europe and Asia have benefited from our protection for decades, but the time for free riding is over. America and the free world deserve allies who are capable, who are loyal… We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do”

@SkywayTuff2s @JasonBradbury Must have been a 48K at that price. I bought mine from WH Smith. Had to take the first one back as the keyboard was faulty.

@JasonBradbury Still got it all boxed in mint condition which is good going considering how much that keyboard took a bashing with Daley Thompson’s Decathlon😂😂Even got the original receipt when me mum got it on discount as she worked in WH Smith in 1984 for £129.95😂

Can’t quite believe the ZX Spectrum turns 44 today! 🙏 I’m even less willing to acknowledge I’m more than a decade older than it! On 23 April 1982, Sir Clive Sinclair unveiled a rubber-keyed, rainbow-striped 8-bit computer at the Churchill Hotel in London. It cost £125. It sold over five million units. It contributed significantly to the launch of the British IT industry. Around twenty thousand+ games were made for it including of course Jet Set Willy, Atic Atac and my personal fave - The Way of the Exploding Fist 🤜 💥 In the middle of an AI arms race, it’s worth remembering how simple the computing experience used to be. What was your first ZX Spectrum game?🕹️

@JasonBradbury I knew that machine inside out. Taught myself Z80 assembly language on one of those. Anyone remember what ‘Poke 23609, 100’ did?

We are at a point where garbage high follower (blue check) accounts post fake junk that they claim is NASA. Then 'truthers' really think that it was officially released footage just because the account said so, and use the fact that it is garbage to trash NASA. Dead internet

@konstructivizm If that's truely mars surface are those clouds in the sky or an optical illusion? Because if they are clouds wouldn't that mean there is some water? Or is it just a build-up of gases in the atmosphere,

@jimalkhalili I haven’t seen any of his tweets recently but he went down a rabbit hole some time ago. He’s an antivax conspiracy nutter so I don’t suppose the chemtrails conspiracy altogether surprises me 🙄

I hardly ever spend time these days getting sucked into reading the nonsense on Twitter/X, but this surreal exchange between ex-footballer Matt Le Tissier and Grok about aircraft contrails encapsulates perfectly why most normal people have better things to do with their time.

@rajgrad @MailerD83 @WilliamShatner Different fuel. Different environment. If you think the way the flag briefly moved is a reason to doubt the project which landed 12 men on the Moon then I can’t help you. Just read about it.

Did you see the India photos taken by its satellite moon orbiter of the first two moon landings (Apollo 11 & 12?)👇🏻 🤔I suppose the craycray deniers are going to suggest we sent them up there back in the 60’s and 70’s just in case someone in the future wanted to check. 🙄🥱
