Just thinking out loud but we’re going to kick the americans out of Pine Gap and shut it down right? Like there’s absolutely no way we can trust them as an ally.

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

I try to have hope for humanity but the top ten most listened podcasts on spotify shakes me really bad.

I hope the main takeaway from #ConformityGate is how both convincing and dangerous echo chambers and social media can be today. It won’t be but I can hope.

Not sure whats happened to reddit but I just hopped on for the first time in a few weeks and my feed is absolutely rotten with far right and alt right meme subreddits as ‘recommended for me’. Literally just use reddit for video games info and tech support and barely comment on anything.

First week back after xmas break at my office job and I feel like I’m trapped in a David Lynch movie. I can see one other person at a desk and someone is either vomiting or just spitting loudly in the bathroom.

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Washing down my antibiotic with a probiotic to keep optimum levels of biotic.

In bed with a glass of amaretto with ice for the stroke of midnight. Happy new year world. Fingers tightly crossed for 2026.

Big ‘week between christmas and new years’ energy from this pair of freeloaders

This was the very first dive I watched & honestly can you blame me for being hooked after that? The 1 & only time I've seen a living whale on a ROV dive & wow have I gotten to see some amazing stuff since then! Still waiting for whale # 2.

When someone tells me their naturopath said they have leaky gut

Please share widely. The SMH took it down after complaints by the AJA. open.substack.com/pub/deepcutn... ... ppl who had never met a Muslim

Yippy kay yay merry christmasers. 🎄🎅

I must have seen Die Hard a million times in my 46 years, but every time he says ‘Hans… boobie…’ I always laugh.

I'm glad you asked! docseuss.medium.com/lore-is-a-tr... (also if anyone reads this essay and likes it, I'd like to pay my internet bill and buy some food, so tips would be appreciated)

My beautiful and perfect wife: the kettle went off five minutes ago, too cold for tea now, reheat it for my cup. Also her for some reason: let the toast get cold so the butter doesn’t melt on it. She contains multitudes.

Still one of the unmatched greatest glow ups of all time

Never noticed before but in the Two Towers when you see that orc chopping wood without his shirt on he’s got two big dangly nipple rings in.

Wow, the ineptitude.

I feel like seeing Jake Paul every time I open Netflix constitutes some type of assault that I should be compensated for.

I’m pretty tech savvy and I’m noticing that enshittification has made purchasing for friends and family online this year an absolute unbearable crapfest. Can’t find anything, can’t find where to buy things, and every gift idea article is slop generated junk.

Pretty damning that the Ultimates comic series (an alt universe Avengers team for non nerds) has a world where the bad guys won and are in charge and it basically looks and sounds exactly like the world we have now.

Yeah climate change isn’t a future generations problem.

QUICK COMP. I’ll post this, signed, to one person who reposts & replies to this in the next 30 mins. Slight water damage due to careless EVRI courier. But still entirely readable. Extract here: www.tom-cox.com/the-village-... Ghosts, rivers, hills, social history, lost psychedelic music & more.

Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb 👀👁‍🗨

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

I think about this quote from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social a lot: “The idea that some people may freely poison others is one of the most astonishing but least contested aspects of modern life.”

Son came in from concert and got take out, left on the bench where the cats knocked it onto the floor, where the dog after escaping from his crate in the night gobbled a half chicken carcass bones and all. So now because of this idiot chain I need to WFH and monitor the dog for distress.

Sometimes I let my wife think I’ve zipped up the dog in his little bed when I haven’t and then late at night he’ll hop up and sleep on my feet. So if you were looking for a badass here abouts, ya found him. 🤜😈

This is why I love the Snake Plissken meme so much. Hard agree!

Not sure if its hilarious or tragic that AI growth grossly inflating the cost of consumer computer memory will pretty much wipe out any supposed gains from actually using AI by most major companies for at least the next ten years.

I kinda just want to be in a Legend of Zelda marriage. My wife saves the world and if anyone tries to stop her I hit them with a sword.

Predator Badlands was a lot of fun. Good time at the cinema.

Anyways #TGIF

Hate to say it, but after seeing Frankenstein at a cinema of loud and annoying people a few weeks back, I’m much preferring seeing it at home on a 65 inch OLED with my cats and schnauzer lying on me. I don’t want cinema to die, and maybe I’m getting old, but the experience is losing its luster.

Some rat camping the elevator killed me in Arc Raiders and I lost a heap of good stuff and my zip line gun, but he also said ‘I’m so sorry about this, I love you’ just before he knocked me out which was weird.

We’ve got less than 20 years left of coral reefs. We’ve completely destroyed a complex ecosystem older than us in about a century and its never coming back. This should be a species wide shame that drives us to action but I doubt it.

Ermahgerd my first ever #BrokenBinding package!

Instead of trying to explain that I’m not really a cynic who hates everyone I’m just going to direct to the song People by Andrew Jackson Jihad that neatly covers my world view. open.spotify.com/track/2E4v4X...

In case you needed something uplifting today the couple in this iconic photo from the 2011 Stanley Cup riots are still together and have kids now.

After three incidents of absolute betrayal in a row I am officially off the ‘being nice to other players in solo’ attitude in Arc Raiders.

The Gates Foundation has donated more than $3.5 million to a think tank run by climate crisis skeptic Bjørn Lomborg.

Epstein files and Open AI revenue leaks on the same days is pretty wild.

Maybe the rapture happened and no one got taken.

I got downed by a leaper in #ArcRaiders just as the elevator opened and made it in to escape and just as I activated the return someone came in and killed me which has to be just the lowest of the low kind of kill in a game. Like they weren’t even going to be able to loot me!

That feeling when you roll over in bed and accidentally close your phone and you know you’ll need to watch 3 minutes of youtube ads again just to get back to where you were and you decide you just don’t give enough of a shit.

In Arc Raiders, see a drone shooting at someone from a third story balcony. Shoot the drone and shout a greeting. They shout back a thank you. This game is a delight.

I’d actually forgotten just how good the 2021 Suicide Squad was, wildly violent, hilarious, terrific action scenes, every character gets a satisfying arc, full frontal male nudity. What more could you ask for.

Trip to the gym, made a chicken satay stir fry, watched Suicide Squad and played some Arc Raiders. Just a perfect little quiet evening. Heading to bed now to read The Devils by J Abercrombie to cap it off.
