What unites the PlayStation Portal and Atari 2600+? They’re confusing, weird and very niche •

Console yourself: some new hardware like the PlayStation Portal isn’t meant for everyone – or seemingly many people at all

Needs must, so I'm selling my original art for a Pete and his Pimple page I drew in 1988, written by TV's @charltonbrooker back when he was a frequent contributor to Oink! comic. https://t.co/UrdJbwwxcu

At 12 grand, they’d better let you keep the fucking table.
A PM who spends more than the annual state pension on a meal may be a tad out of touch.

16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since. Just now, Twitter / X just ripped it away. Super pissed

NEW: former owner of @x handle tells me he didn’t sell the account: “Twitter just took it essentially”. They offered some merchandise and a meeting https://t.co/gVMq4YbHKr

Good timing for our podcast on Elon Musk: the tech emperor with no clothes. From his childhood, to his success with Tesla, to his complete moral and spiritual collapse into a far-right reply guy. It's a farcical tragedy, which now necessarily includes us all.
🚀💥🚀NEW EPISODE 🚀💥🚀 @IanDunt and @Dorianlynskey take on a living figure for the first time and dissect his descent from 'real life Iron Man' to right-wing troll. A must-listen 👇 https://t.co/IoBM7BI7PJ

They're changing the Twitter logo to an "X". Literally the icon I click on when I want to close something on my computer.

A second attempt by someone on @BlaBlaCar to use my email for their account. Baffling. I wouldn’t trust this company as far as I can throw it. (Natch, its press team has blanked me since my original enquiry.) #BlaBlaCar #BlaBlaCarScam

Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit. Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

Not sure why this is past tense. Still happens. The only major shift since I was at school is (at least where my kid goes) mandated water bottles and children being allowed to drink during class time.

It’s not bad enough I’ve dealt with 2 deaths in the family in 3 months, but this fucker is still at it and taking advantage of the fact that I’m not as active as I used to be. First takes advantage of the pandemic, now this. Hope you burn in hell, asshole. I know you’ll see this
This imposter is relentless. I’ve updated my contact page to reflect what’s going on and updated it with all my social network links to help people tell us apart. Please help spread this and report any impersonators you see. Thanks.
