How brilliant is this concept kit, Lego Fawlty Towers! Incredible detailing throughout. beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

This is basically a Futurama joke.

Doesn't look the worst use of AI, but boosters make the mistake of assuming AI is a product's main selling point as that's where their interest lies. Users shouldn't care what's under the hood, so for them AI is just a sticker saying it's going to be borked, scammy and environmentally terrible.

I'd hate to see what not caring looks like.

In return for information about the thieves, Crimestoppers are offering a large bounty.

I love that the "Claude" AI slop's logo (presumably AI-generated) is Vonnegut's easy-to-draw picture of an asshole.

This is cool—it's effectively a Stumbleupon for the indie web. With this, Kagi is doing more for blogs than Google has in a long time. kagi.com/smallweb/

"How are you getting on with that King Kong vs Godzilla poster?" "Vs Godzilla!?! ...er... yeah, it's going well"

They should put a picture of a £10 note on the £10 note.

Nice to see my demo effect "in the wild" on a real Electron. What can I say... it's magic! 😎

You have to remember that windmills are the natural enemy of golfers. That’s why Trump hates them so much.

It seems we can now customize the select element, right? right?! Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/pen/P... via @codepen.io

Please mind the small train inside the little train

I know a lot of people think Microsoft Excel is a dreadful piece of software, but I would rate it October 10th.

RIP Robert Tinney (November 22, 1947 – February 1, 2026), the artist famous for his playful covers for Byte magazine, a hobbist magazine that ushered in the microcomputing age from the mid-70s through the 90s. I'm honored to have included his work in my own art collection.

Apparently the zombocom domain expired yesterday and was presumably bought out by some other jackass who launched this vibe-coded IMPOSTOR

SOUND UP! Delighted to have rediscovered this historical artefact in an old moving box, and amazed it still works. Approach me with care until the battery runs out. *My wife is less delighted.

Sorted out some caching on my Koyaanisqatsi generator because Giphy just told me off for hammering their API. Took them 8 years to notice! www.monkeon.co.uk/gifaanisqatsi/

Saw this on Facebook. Immediately NEED.

We're not supposed to know what goes on at the bottom of the ocean. I saw this thing that looked like a carrier bag full of eyes holding an umbrella. That's nobody's business

I know I should hate them, but Silent Running has made me find the Uber Eats robots quite cute as they toddle along the pavement getting in everyone's way.

Look, it clearly says the Peace Prize only applies to 2025.

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR SwearSky word for 2026.

Been really enjoying picking up the randomiser stuff again - it's such a specific type of technology, carefully writing templates and word lists. It has a deliberateness you can't achieve in AI slop whilst also having the fun of mashing buttons and seeing what bullshit I can make it spit out.

Fixed any broken videos on my 90s Festival Generator. All 972 bands now work (Must have had quite a bit of spare time to populate it in summer 2020 for some reason). www.monkeon.co.uk/90sfestivalg...

I'm bored so here once again is the greatest Christmas title sequence in TV history

Fixed another broken old game. Can you guess what year the newspaper was published? www.monkeon.co.uk/guessthepress/ Looking back, I probably have split this into two games and reskinned it for the music press one. Different audience.
