The length of copyright expiry is fucking insane

I was thinking "oh hey, I should build a gopher site, I wonder what I should put in the misc. files section"

I thought, hey, episodes of the goon show would be nice

The Goon Show was broadcast between 1952 and 1960

You'd assume that they'd be out of copyright by now

They come out of copyright in 2083

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE YEARS after the last episode aired

If anyone here has young kids that want to send mail to Santa if you send it to the following address Canada Post will send a response back

SANTA CLAUS
NORTH POLE H0H 0H0
CANADA

The UK has a similar program if you send mail here:

Father Christmas
Santa's Grotto
Reindeerland
XM4 5HQ

I know the Canadian one will do international post, not sure about Royal Mail

If you're stuck on what to give someone for Christmas, a collection of @squirrel's albums purchased via bandcamp would make a fantastic gift!

My condolences to our comrades working retail and/or hospitality

The christmas music has started

As a measure of how Strong and Stable™️ the UK government is, after GQ released their Jan/Feb cover with "Election Special" written on it we're all sitting here wondering if they mean the local government elections or if they know something we don't

Apparently the UK Foreign Office is now telling governments to ignore whatever the Foreign Minister says because he's an idiot

The Civil Service may save us yet

Sir Humphrey would be proud

So, bitcoin reached 11k/coin recently

Then crashed by over 20%

The Bitcoin users are saying this is fine

Are they entirely fucking insane?

Thing I want but have no ability to make:

Console web browser with support for CSS, JavaScript, and images

Basically a modern web browser that doesn't need x running

Also it should support gopher

Y'know what? With current events being what they are I think it might be time to bring out some of the old classics

OOOOHHHHH Hitler, he only had one ball
Goering, had two but very small
Himmler, had something similar
And Goebbels had no balls at all
