Anyone not calling it a wesignation is a coward

like ok you want to use some of the genAI tools to help you write code? don't like it, don't like the company, will never do it personally, but i get it but using them to write up text for a paper or generate images for presentations? why are you in this field if you don't want to do anything???

This is my favorite still frame from my short film entitled “Shit that goes down on the front porch while I’m sleeping”.

I read a very compelling argument that when this weasel chewed through a cable and unexpectedly shut down the Large Hadron Collider’s 17-mile particle accelerator in April 2016, that’s when our reality went haywire. I have yet to hear a more persuasive explanation. Not even really joking.

The only Devil Wears Prada take that you need is that I watched the original film waiting for the devil to turn up. I genuinely thought it was like a Buffy thing where it was a magazine run by demons. I was a good 50 minutes before I accepted the reveal was never happening. Make that movie please.

question for the paleo invert people. if I have a Devonian scene it isnt completely out of the blue ti have a flying insect of sorts outside on land? even though we have no fossils from then it is THEORETICALLY the time insects got flight?

Whale milk comes out not unlike cottage cheese, to prevent dispersal in the water. (Note: this is part of a thread that started on a related, but *very* unexpected, subject.) Also cc @feydaley.bsky.social, obviously.

Yup, so I’m ride or die with Mike Bailey now. #AEW 🤼

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Hello. I just found out that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”, and now I need you lot to know that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”. youtu.be/voqCQSDAcn8

You took down your flags and signs, but everyone remembers what you did. Your front door has been marked with a Cool S. You won't notice it, but Grimace will. On the next new moon, when he wanders the earth seeking purple tribute, he will visit you while you slumber and accept your offering.

just had a thought...

DEADLOCH SOUNDTRACKS ARE OUT INCLUDING DEADLOCH WOMEN’S CHOIR SONGS THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I must not hope. Hope is the mind-killer. Hope is the little-breath that brings total disappointment. I will face my hope. I will permit it to pass over me and through me...

I woke up early to do a run to Tesco and of course everything besides the paper shop is shut because Jesus escaped from a cave yesterday so it's Euro Shopper's finest for tea tonight.

For the unaware Americans, today is a bank holiday in Britain. It's a special day when all the banks migrate south for the summer. Traditionally we all gather by the shoreline to wave them off as they fly away in formation to warmer climes, then we have a singsong and share bank bread. Magical.

I am very sad today. It’s a mixture of Day 4 of post-con drop, being too tired to do anything, & being convinced that I’ve let something essential slide in my avoidance of everything due to fatigue. I’d be happy that nothing else on the car has broken, but I haven’t gone out since I got back, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

WOO HOO I’ve been awake for 5 consecutive hours 🥳 28 hours’ sleep over the past 41 was great. I’ve put the codeine back in the cupboard! I got dressed without pulling a muscle! I have *actually unpacked*! And put (almost) everything away! The BAMC was worth it, but I’m v glad it’s only once a year.

day 3 of #repostyourart is spring, and you know who is here in spring? BEEFLY

*Knowing* I’m going to be exhausted doesn’t make it any less hellish. I fell asleep at 11 last night. Today I have: Woken up at 10, fed the cats, gone back to sleep. Woke at 12, got dressed, gone back to sleep. Woken at 2, had lunch, gone back to sleep. Woken at 7, contemplated a 9pm bedtime.

Ah, but what about the Muppets Goncharov?

I am very serious here: if any of the trans women I know (incl non binary ppl whose parents originally thought they had a daughter) would like a pizza (or takeout of choice), dm me and we can figure out how to get it, or the cost, to you. First 3 of y’all get one.

Conference day 2. I made it to one (1) 20 minute talk after lunch and have since looked at some art (mostly sculptures, which I do not understand), sat and talked to @frankynstein.bsky.social over coffee, and sat and stared blankly at some trees.

Over the last 9 days: 1. My windscreen cracked, with replacement estimates from 5 days (£400) and >3 weeks (£200). 2. My tyre deflated, breakdown assistance put the spare on, but I need to find a new tyre somewhere before I go home. Number 3 has just happened.

My life can, tbph, get in the fucking sea. I’m on the way to UEA. It’s supposed to be about 80 mins drive. Stopped for food. Came back to the car and my near front tyre is flatter than a supermodel’s abs. The AA might be with me at 5 to 9. I’m very not sure when check in at the hotel closes. FMFL

Don’t worry, Jack. The council will be here soon…

Perfect

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Seriously, I want to find a person to whom I can give a list of Shit That Needs To Be Sorted Out, and pay them to do the sorting out. Just do all the ringing round, organising, & booking, and tell me when someone’s coming round / when I have to be at a place. Does that sort of service exist?

Over the last week I’ve had to deal with: 1. A toilet that wouldn’t drain. 2. A (different) toilet that takes a lot of violence to flush. 3a. A motorway stone cracking my windscreen. 3b. Seemingly, not a single windscreen replacement company within 60 miles who can fit me in before mid April.

I was literally holding my head by the end of this

I know I’m not alone but I ABSOLUTELY hate that when I see a photograph/illustration/artwork that is new to me I have to think “is this real? who made it? It’s depressing. We can slightly tackle it by using Alt-text. Great for those who NEED it & also for giving context/details about the image.
