A medical emergency came up that landed my dad in the ER again, and we added that to the total to the gofundme, I'm sorry to bring it back up but we really do need the help www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

Just because Christmas is around the corner and I happen to have a book that makes the PERFECT gift, doesn’t mean you’ll find me shamelessly hawking my wares on here. I’m better than that. In other news, here's a promo for The Wheel is Spinning but the Hamster is Dead (available here - geni.us/yDxa)

The smartest people love to say they make data-driven decisions.

Ten famous people with festive names… 10. Jon Snow 9. Holly Hunter 8. Spruce Willis 7. Oprah Wintery 6. Kim Kardashian-Through-The-Snow 5. Samuel Elf Jackson 4. A-wreather Franklin 3. Misteltobey Maguire 2. Michael Baublé 1. Snoop Dogg-Is-For-Life-Not-Just-For-Christmas

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁

We're probably going to miss our target... donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05... But if you donate to this excellent cause by noon today your money will be doubled and (if you drop me an email) I'll give you free access to the members-only London Centric stories I'm working on.

One of my favorite creators, Pop Arena, has made video companions explaining the history of every title that ran on Nickelodeon in the 80s and 90s. This is such an impressive feat. It seems like they're having some trouble re: income and housing right now. Please help if you can. ko-fi.com/poparena

Ever heard of the kokoshnik? You could even spot one - sported by #TheGlobalJigsaw presenter @ikrassi.bsky.social in this video 😉 and if you fancy finding out more, here is our latest on the 'Russian cultural code': www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

I've donated two signed (by me) and sketched of my 2022 graphic novel collaboration with @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social to raise vital funds for those affected by conflict in Sudan. Please consider bidding to help those most in need 🙏 #Creatives4Sudan app.galabid.com/creatives4su...

With almost no mental healthcare available, Sudanese women in Chad form their own support networks.

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

We have looked into poseidon and sarmat quite a while back on #TheGlobalJigsaw www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w... 'Kiselyov on Rossiya1 threatened to destroy the UK with a Sarmat ICBM or a poseidon underwater nuclear drone which he said would create a nuclear tsunami and and left a RadioActive desert'

Yes anyone can reply, not you though.

In case you missed this yesterday!! For understandable reasons

"...Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream bom, bom, bom, bom..." All shot practically using real figures lighting and homemade miniature sets. I created the window display set on the computer then printed all the elements out on paper and set up a mini window display. #photography #miniatures #bttf

When I was homeless in 2019, the stress activated a strange hyperthyroid-like condition where I was losing a ton of weight and I needed to eat around 4k-5K calories a day to stay a healthy weight. I used my SNAP to by the most calorie dense foods possible, and these were things like snack cakes. 1/2

"I can't lie about your chances. But you have my sympathies." All shot using real lighting, smoke, figures and miniature sets. I digitally added some goz on the Xenomorphs mouth the rest is all in camera #alien #xenomorph #photography #scifi

It's petit, actually

When designs I did printed in large format and on installation day no one is calling me yelling I take it as a sign of it’s fine, I can start breathing again and I think I need a fucking week sleep to recover from. Ah and hopefully would get paid too. Of course.

so many companies say they are replacing people - laying them off - with automated systems, AI. but there has been no real auditing or regulatory approach to vetting such claims. i am deeply skeptical. think a lotta the cuts are just due to failures to sell or cut costs & prior over hiring.

Follow Manuela and watch her videos they are absolute delight, like brighten your day, and they’re also funny. I bet that famous soprano lady not even 10percent funny. I probably wouldn’t follow her on social media. She doesn’t seem to spark joy.

i post lots of videos of myself singing opera badly on tiktok. this one earned me a derisive comment from kallen esperian, one of the greatest operatic sopranos of all time. far from being discouraged im incredibly tickled that my bad singing is good enough to earn her sneer

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Multiple well-sourced articles, including a piece today in The Guardian, suggest UEFA is on the verge of suspending the Israel Football Association. A 🧵 on some of the background to this www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Periodic reminder: Hate takes effort to maintain. If it weren't for constant effort by fashy people to lie about Black folk, Brown folk, women, immigrants, trans folk, etc, that most people would choose *not* to support fashy people. Fascism requires an ongoing cost. Kindness is free!

CHOTINER: Record shows you didn’t post a Chotiner meme until Thursday? ME: That’s correct. CHOTINER: That seems unusual. Wouldn’t you say you usually jump on all the viral ‘bits?’ ME: I’d say so, but I had lots of work to do yesterday. CHOTINER: So, that work is done now?

I know it's ethically a no-no, but I still think the New Yorker could make a fortune if they had a Cameo-like service where you could pay for Isaac Chotiner to call a friend saying he'd like to schedule an interview to ask them a few questions.

The deal here is to let the bad thing happen because you might make money off it, then try to mitigate it -- a little bit -- afterwards. Then repeat.

I saw a Qatari man driving a Smart today and just wanna say, sir, I salute you. I also would want to know how did you end up with that car? :D (Fiat 500-the new ones- and an old Mini I saw before but Smart is a first for me)

Finally got my nightmare fuel all in a row

One year ago today I posted this miniature Predator shot I created using real lighting, figures and miniature sets

Food aversion is not cultural. It’s a neurobiological process. It’s an evolutionary advantage for your body to become repulsed and or averse to eating something that might be unsafe. People with pronounced food aversion responses have more difficulty tuning out those signals.

Oxford has been around since 1096. Imagine tossing almost a thousand years of academic reputation into the garbage, setting it on fire, and then pissing it out over a useless fucking plagiarism machine what loses billions of dollars a year telling people to kill themselves.
