Mermaid in the Sky

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

did not expect the site of Thomas Beckett’s murder to be memorialized in a fashion that is quite so fucking metal

I think AI is the chemical warfare of the cultural industry. It will destroy all the apparently unimportant jobs - advertising copywriters, jingle writers and graphic designers etc - all the jobs which were done by real people (bad in itself), but also by people who’d become the artists, writers etc

Important update

All your purchases in my shop this week paid for Oki to visit the vet, so he would like to tell you all to please not buy anything else. #vet #tabby #cat

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

The revelation of this article is that two of the main actors were played by the same person? They were twins? I didn't even notice they looked alike. They acted differently? Damn face blindness.

I'm watching the Replacement Killers again. Not because it's good, but because for some stupid reason I love it. Probably has a lot to do with Chow Yun Fat if I'm honest.

When will scientists finally invent a large frog for the home

There's chicken in the fridge so everything that comes out of the fridge must be inspected #cat #tabbycat

Another day, another duck murder (sorry @wildobliquities.bsky.social )

The competition is, as ever, at such a high (literally 😏) standard. The judges will have to fall back on a photo finish 🏁

Do I have any friends in/near Hartlepool? Mads is trying to find a cheap hotel there to stay in before her university drama interview and its hard to tell over the Internet which are the horrific ones and which are the serviceable but cheap ones. Looking on trip advisor but still a bit lost.

Dog not included

Cheered today by watching Jared Leto being chopped up with an axe.

One of the funner moments from my South Africa trip occurred when these two little borbs decided to chase each other on the edge a lagoon. (They're Black Crakes, btw.)

Not sure how liking lambrini girls, cheekface and Jeff Rosenstock got me to this?

Ok this is fucking charming, and I want more politicians to shop in charity shops. So long as they don't raid all the good stuff :p

It’s a shame that GTA VI has been delayed but I’m excited by Rockstar’s promise that the extra time will allow them to give all the pedestrians in the game “a rich inner life” and “the capacity to actually experience pain”

Mads is cross with me because I moved the family music plan to tidal and apparently now if she listens to Phantom of the Opera ALW will get more money and she hates him.

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Moving the cats over to a new easier to get to and INDEPENDENT vets. Gave Okis name so they could get his records but of course, forgot that his actual name is Okapi, and that the vets we were with mixed it up and registered him as O'Carpé (no I don't understand how either). Much confusion ensued.

Sarah Connor: Why won’t you just die? T-1000: Wow, what a great question! By asking that question you‘ve shown that you’re interested in life and death, and that you’re more philosophical than most. Let’s unpack that…

Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen, "Lost Children, from The Hoppings, 1971". #JeudiPhoto

When I was on @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social I chose this sequence from a 1979 Sesame Street episode - probably the first time I ever heard Philip Glass was this exclusive piece he wrote for this animated sequence, Geometry of Circles. It's never appeared anywhere else. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JWw...

Anyone else feel as happy as a bunny when surrounded by autumn leaves?

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.

Inside you are two bins

snailposting! (a snail I met in Borneo)

Thought I would finally watch American Psycho, maybe it won't ruin the book for me. Got to the titles and it has Jared fucking Leto in it? Urrgh

I'm putting together a YouTube channel to showcase my models, animations and to provide tutorials for people wanting to build nerdy stuff in 3d. Thought you'd enjoy my Enterprise going zoom (I know it's the TNG FX with a TOS model, please don't beat me up) youtu.be/P0418usESDc?...

This is what Wilfred Owen wrote poetry for 🫡

lol she got his ass and he knows it

In shopping news none of you who know me well will be surprised to learn, I just had to be stopped from ordering 75 cm wooden disks to hang from the Christmas tree. #numbersarehard

Went to lunch with dad. He wasn't wearing a poppy the bastard. (For those who don't know/remember he was in the army)

So much about Agami Heron is at the extreme end of Heronkind, including their Zoooop!

Happy Sunday! 🦛 💙 Adorable ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 4,000 years ago! 📷 by me #Archaeology

Right, I would totally date a robot bit not a fucking icky AI suck up word machine. It reminds me of a dog training saying about why people own terriers. Something along the lines of you don't pick your friends to obey you. That resonates with me and all relationships with animals and humans.

30 million dead, The Somme, painting created by Mary Bishop 1976 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. Aged 4 when her father was killed in WWI, the reverberations of his death & her mother’s vast grief traumatised & distressed Mary for the rest of her life

Hello new Bskies and fresh followers! Just a reminder that we small Indie creators and artists don't have shareholders to satisfy, just bills to pay. And that while Likes are lovely, Reposting stuff is the best way to help with visibility for us. If you see models or art you love, please share!

New news on the spider mega city, 111000 spiders, I guess they had to count them all

I have been hanging up my treasured collection of foil decorations in the kitchen in the hope that it will give the spiders more territory and they'll abandon my cupboards and it worked almost instantly! They appear to be delighted with their colourful homes. Now considering if I need to feed them

What a world

The NHS has issued a “flu jab SOS”. If you’ve been procrastinating, it’s now urgent. If you get a flu vax some years, make this year one of them. Get it at a pharmacist for <£25 or free from your GP if 65+/carer/health condition. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
