Blog post: positech.co.uk/cliffsblog/202… If you are currently saving up for a deposit to buy your first house, you should read it. Because that MIGHT be a really bad idea. It depends, but have you looked at the numbers lately?

Over 1000 people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act in the last month. The proscription of Palestine Action and the arrests of peaceful sign holders makes a mockery of the term terrorist. It's now a badge of honour.

Ha. I tried to do a basic 'stress test' of a ridiculous number of drone lasers, but annoyingly it all runs at way over 100FPS on my PC. And my PC is not new. I need to test on absolute rock-bottom hardware to find the stress points...

Testing and profiling some changes to drones today. They now use the proper beam-laser code. Here are a few swarms of them failing to penetrate some cruiser shields... This is Ridiculous Space Battles btw. (positech.co.uk/ridiculousspac…)

Only fascist morons declare WAR on a city in their own fucking country: edition.cnn.com/2025/09/06/pol… The USA is toast. You elected a fascist maniac, and it will not end vaguely peacefully. Good luck Americans.

Trying to get world leaders to meet at a hotel you own, to earn a few dollars in extra fees, is the sort of thing we used to mock fascist dictators of developing world countries for doing. And we still do. This time its the United States Of America. A declining fascist state.…

FFS. Trump wants to OPENLY call the department of defense the department of WAR. How much more blatant does he have to be until the idiots who voted for him see what you have done? When You are drafted into a war with Greenland/Canada/Mexico/Iran/Panama? What the fuck is wrong…

Well I'm not surprised but... Nigel Farage is paid £2,000 an HOUR by GBNews, earning £400,000 a year from them. He is a brand ambassador for a gold bullion firm, and owns a private company with multiple investment properties. All Nigel farage cares about is Nigel Farage. He…

Just spent 4 hours straight coding and achieved nothing. But finally know why. I was coding a system to do the equivalent of a 'wavey beam' that fired from a ship-launched drone. This was a ton of work and I wasn't happy with the effect I ended up with. Then, an epiphany, just…

Farage has gone to the US to tell them Britain is ”awful” - If you don’t like it over here Nigel maybe don’t catch a return flight?

I predicted this months ago. Democrats are slow to catch on: edition.cnn.com/2025/09/02/pol… Of course there will be no free elections in the USA again. Thats what the republican morons voted for, a fascist dictatorship. I hope none of you were expecting democracy?

Reading American opinions of China is like watching starship troopers. An incredibly indoctrinated, incredibly biased, hugely racist and xenophobic view based on data from half a century ago, that has zero basis in reality. Its hilarious.

What’s nobody talking about? That the path we’re accelerating along will see us reach 2C well before 2050 which - according to professional risk assessors - will kill more than 2 BILLION people.
