I’m getting a few reports that some bird.makeup accounts have forwarded messages that don’t appear anymore on their Twitter page in the last day or so. I don’t have much to go on right now to investigate this, but have anyone seen suspicious posts?

How are infomercials still a thing in the age of e-commerce?

I've been telling people this, but high interest rates are putting a damper on high-esg pet projects.

Not mentioned: the fact that the charging network is literally broken and that a lot of charging station owners see them as crap they're supposed to put out there that maybe someone once a month uses.

Or that everyone who wants an EV either already has one, or is driving a Hybrid/plugin hybrid instead because it can go further. A lot of normies are fine with hybrids if it doesn't look like a car for Bernie voters.

I got my PowKiddy RGB30 about two weeks ago. It's a navy blue model with a 16GB MicroSD card included for the OS (JELOS is installed). I bought this for playing games from the GB/GBC/GBA, but it has enough emulating power for other older handhelds like the Game Gear and the Neo Geo Pocket.

I was gonna buy the Analogue Pocket (assuming it's available), but I ended up getting the RGB30 for the price alone: $86 total. Less than half of what a Pocket normally costs. The square 720p screen is the RGB30's gimmick, but with some tweaking (that I haven't done yet), almost any game can look great. The form factor also looks comfortable to hold compared to the old vertical layout of the Pocket. I will be missing out on the FPGA hardware, but at least I don't need to be too careful with my RGB30 since I can easily buy another one with quick shipping.

I briefly played Shantae on it to see how well it looks, and it's cool. I have trouble with getting RetroArch adjusted to make it look better, though. I also have a lot more to write about it since I still need to play with other emulators, tweaks, and ROMs.

They did the same for entire villages in France in the 50s, the worst case was in Pont-Saint-Esprit.
