@scriblit.bsky.social have you seen @polyarmorygame.bsky.social ?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s rape. www.salon.com/2026/07/15/m...

love these build threads

Actually flawless.

More needle cases. This time in what I think is holly but I'm honestly not sure. It could be a particularly white maple? Came out of the offcuts bin at the lumber yard. #woodworking #woodturning

Mushroom! #woodturning They're quickish, good practice and look nice on a shelf

Shed is down to 26, I'm gonna turn something.

Many below plus David Gemmell :(

Stop subsidising for-profit companies. Give everyone UBI using the money that releases.

OMFG look at this most metal (and also most Metal) sculpture?! **counts all pennies, just in case I can afford one**

Pretty low risk promise there from Starmer I guess.

Do not, under any circumstances, *ever*, feed someone else's work into an LLM without their explicit permission, if you use the things at all, which you shouldn't. It all becomes training data for the LLM, which means you're helping those things steal their work.

I just had some fucking prick comment on my Patreon, as if it's something to be proud of, that he had fed the transcripts of all my work into an "AI" to produce a searchable map of the connections. He is, naturally, blocked, and he is very lucky I am not suing him.

A good day to remind you all that you can spend £5.50 on a 28mm @countbinface.bsky.social model from Troublemaker Games, £3 of which goes to NHS supporting charities Now who is selling some frog faced fiends and a scale model pier for them to fight over? www.troublemakergames.co.uk/product-page...

A load of stones near the sea does not make it a beach. Yes Brighton, I'm looking at you.

Passing this most excellent image on

An absolutely collective middle-finger to Farage and Reform.

On my way, Clacton.

Game on, Nige.

Farage calling himself the most physically attacked politician of modern times when one of his fans murdered MP Jo Cox is especially foul.

Thanks Nigel. "The average cost of Westminster by-elections since 2010 has been £239,529"

Getting frustrated that my cross-grain work isn't improving (still too much tear-out which I fail to finish properly). So, going to work on spindle stuff for a little while. It tends to be faster, it's just as hard to get right, but at least I'll feel progress. It's a mushroom. #woodturning

Yeah, turn this off ASAP. Also important to note – each image they 'describe' uses an 'AI credit' from your plan, and if you run out of credits? They'll charge you for the extra ones they used without even asking you if you wanted them.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

This is the first time I've ever worked for someone, where I can feel my depression getting worse in real time when interacting with them.

Have spent the weekend in the garden and the shed, trimming, tidying and turning (well to be honest, just sanding, the turning was done). Didn't get a huge amount done in the garden but cleared the huge brambles coming over our back fence, and as much of the evergreen growing over our back 1/9

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

Turkish activists have hung a huge banner on Istanbul's Haliç Bridge saying “Hide your children—Trump is coming” ahead of his attendance at the NATO summit in Ankara Tuesday.

Yes, this is Britain. It helps to understand that all of this pure unimpassioned reason was sold to the public as cold common sense, in a war against threatening ideological insanity.

"Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their ​use in the education of older children to prevent a ‌negative impact on learning" Sometimes, good policymaking is incredibly simple. www.reuters.com/technology/n...

This is the social murder of disabled people, and I really wish people who aren't disabled would shout about it as much as we do. WHY are we having to be the ones who have to be squeezed even more AGAIN.

Damn, sometimes you feel like you're going backwards. It's almost like I was taunting the lathe to rip this too small tenon off. #woodturning #fail

Someone has to say it. The amount of racism directed at World Cup players - including in the England squad - online is out of control.

Men who harass women in public must face the consequences. I welcome the Met’s introduction of on the spot fines for catcalling and sexualised remarks.

Every religion has a food rule that sounds like somebody got diarrhea once and made it everyone’s problem.

Really enjoyed turning this little elm pot. Had to recover it after I'd finished the outside once, because the tenon broke off, if I can find those pics I'll post them in a reply. #woodturning

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

Really not bothered by sport broadly, so not watching the England match, but you can't hide from this stuff entirely, I guess the second half could be exciting.

Some good news: a former refugee from Somalia who made Bristol his home 15 years ago, studied in the U.K. and represents his ward since 2021, pushing for improving local conditions, now fills the ceremonial role of Lord Mayor of Bristol.

Ignoring the obvious ramifications, I don't see how working-class people are expected to enjoy the hobby anymore. Physical releases meant a tangible thing you could trade, sell or lend to friends. Most of my games, bar the last few gens, were physical hand-me-downs from cousins - this is depressing.

Girls just want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting (for their fiance to take them 40 minutes in the opposite direction of home on their drive back from vacation so they can visit the last remaining Shaker community in the world)

Critical Thinking is a skill. We should explicitly teach it. I think we've kind of implicitly taught it as part of other disciplines and hope kids got it. But it's too late for that - we should have critical thinking classes at all levels of education.

Today marks the beginning of South Asian Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich histories, cultures and contributions of South Asian communities in London and across the country. Our city is greater because of you.

I watch a lot of hobby youtube. Over the course of a few days, this is my thought process. Oh I should take up blacksmithing. Oooh, I should take up welding. Man, I should take up hobby engineering. Hey, I could reclaim copper from electrical appliances. Ooh, sand casting looks great I should do it

Absolutely glorious.

All the more reason to legislatively enforce corporate responsibility for the outputs, and also guardrail requirements because you can guarantee that hostile foreign powers are also doing this. And they'll be looking to even more actively poison the models

Awful that someone would so blatantly claim the work of @rachelcleves.bsky.social as their own. Single line credit. Now even that is buried by the promotion of the appropriated scholarship. Pursue the original book Charity + Sylvia by Cleves. I'm a huge graphics fan, but this is SOUR practice
