I'm not sure calling Gorbechev an idiot is right though.

Just because he was a victim of external interests, as you describe. Feels a bit victim-blamey.

"Look what you made the US do to you".

Yeltsin, maybe though.

Which bit of history does this represent?

At first I thought it might be the break up of the USSR, but that doesn't really work here. So that leaves me at a loss.

I just can't see how Gorbachev and Trump, or their actions, are similar.

Hello, I'm from Hell Recruiting. We just saw your comment and wondered if you'd be willing to consider a position in our ironic punishment department.

"Oh no, your retirement plans" -- the rest of the world, fucked by your orange leader , especially those that seemed particularly fucked in the first place that he decided to double fuck.

Did it for clout.

What a prick.

That's a superb trajectory.

I went on to the +2A and then an Amiga 500. Loved that machine, but always the fondest memories for me were typing in code out of magazines on my ZX.

"People make fun..."

Do they? They were massively popular in the UK and are generally remembered quite fondly by people who used them as kids.

Learning basic, playing games.

Sure, we griped about stuff, but folk gripe about everything.

This sort of retro-focussed content that makes weird assertions about how people felt and feel gets recycled way too often.

sometimes follow social media to a second location.

Classic bully behaviour.

Stupid and self defeating.

And space invaders... Fight until you die.

I hear you.

My least favourite thing is how often the first comment on a post is a contrarian "well aksurly..." As if contrianism is engagement.

It hardly makes for a welcoming environment.

The worst thing, the longer I stay here the more often I catch myself doing it too.

Been saying this since he first started talking about third terms. He needs an emergency.

The most popular people on the internet right now, huh?

The guys at the top.

Welcome to the fediverse.

Says regime that is cosplaying Nazi Germany.

I can't imagine my experience wold have been better online. The third year was almost all lab work and practical.

But aside from that, one of the best things about my offline experience was getting to spend time with people from other disciplines and honestly, some 20-odd years later, that has been almost as valuable as my degree in my career as well as my understanding of the world.

Not a serious man, by his own admission.

That's right, it was the pianist John Lewis who suggested the title because... Well, because he was right.

It is an absolute banger, and it was so innovative.

I just hate the idea that Coleman is seen as being presumptuous when, by all accounts, he was anything but.

Obligatory comment in before someone says, "what a bold move to call your album that".

Coleman didn't choose the title and suggested several alternatives, but his label wanted the bombast.

I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could've been any clearer If they wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make a change
