Can someone tell me why the Animal Crossing sneak peeks always look like they’re looking through a gimp mask. I find this troubling

@genmon Galileo (European GPS equivalent run from its own network of satellites and ground stations) has been offline for 4 days

Google/Google Cloud, Apple, Facebook, Cloudflare, Stripe, Slack, Twitter -- all individually huge, and all individually with major downtime in the last few weeks

Somebody is running an engine test.

Can someone explain to me why NZ are playing so defensively?

Did anyone else get an email from mastodon.social overnight asking them not to use a tweet-to-toot bridge and explaining its negative effect on the community?

I’ve turned off the bridge (I hadn’t thought about it but I agree with the points in the email), but also I’m thinking I should be more conscious of the policies of the Masto instance I use as my home. Anyone know of a good way to compare+contrast a few together?

The track in the endgame sequence is called The Descent, and if you have time this weekend you should do a playthrough and crank the volume when you get there

Just completed a playthrough of SPACEPLAN and once again blown away by the story, pacing, intricacy, and above all the set pieces. Highly recommended. Keep the volume up, the sound design is very special http://spaceplan.click

That feeling of frustration and suspended joy when you're in the middle of a 💯 short story but it's your stop on the bus and now I'm going to be holding my breath until I'm reading again

Just use @googlemaps@twitter.com? Or @glitch@twitter.com? Examples pls :)

I really, really need to watch Robocop: The TV Series https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-most-insane-moments-from-robocop-the-tv-series-1521968308

I am excited at having a refillery open a few minutes walk from our house this month.

Is that the correct generic name? A place where you refill your own containers with spices, flour, pasta, cleaning products, etc. Zero packaging. I hope that's the correct generic, it's catchy

Still rooting for him to give Johnson a shoeing though

Johnson is either racist because he's racist, or he's racist because he thinks it will get him power. Either way he would make a destructive and shameful prime minister

Look this Rory Stewart guy may or may not be any good but we have no idea because he hasn't been around long enough to be scrutinised

He's Etonian, then PPE at Oxford. That's how come he talks with that casual but insistent confidence. It's not vision, it's training.

Lizards or Etonians?
