CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

View from the office. Brightening up though so I might have to move into the shade..

It's a date (4K) Best wishes: store.steampowered.com/app/952100 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #steamgames #boomershooter #c64

This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.

I only know @burgerbecky.bsky.social by reputation but what an incredible reputation it is. Her contributions to the industry and RPGs more generally cannot be overstated. Please consider supporting her and her family.

Spent a quiet minute this morning to remind myself of how fortunate I am to have this space exactly how I want it. No minimalist power-desk here.

Goog gravy, this Nostromo build is wonderful. It's a rebrickable build of the recent Millenium Falcon, by Creation Caravan, and it's awesome. :)

That day (11,11) comes round again and once again I thank my grandfather for his courage in WW1 and drink a toast to his memory.

My latest weapon in the fight against data harvesting, AI propagation and the eroding of ownership. My new (to me) X220 is running Linux Mint, is portable, upgradable and I decide absolutely what software goes on it. It's very refreshing and ideal for everyday tasks. No, it won't run Crysis.

62 today, and some absolute bangers incoming. The fam / friends know me soooo well. I’m a very lucky fella.

@andreworton.bsky.social Antiques Roadshow last night featured a chair that had appeared in Dr.Who and Blake’s Seven but no-one could trace its origin. I knew straight away - it’s a Luigi Colani from 1970 (see brown chair at mid-left in pic). His work was featured in many 70’s sci-fi series.

My boy sent me this last night - he’s at ’The Royal Philharmonic plays Metal Gear’ at the Albert Hall, including video clips and some of the voice cast live. I’m not jealous at all.

We were all so concerned with Global Warming we missed the onset of the current ICE age. [I’ll get me coat..]

Happy Hop Tu Naa folks, may your moots be bright and fragrant.

I've just installed Linux on a ThinkPad laptop and added some apps with the terminal. This is hopefully the start of at least a little freedom from corporate tech. Feels like I'm back on my 486, in a good way.

Looks like the scammers who were going this all on various Mastodon servers a month or two ago have found a new target: Bsky.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Ironically for me - that final update fixed a lot of crippling UI errors I'd had for a loooong time. Sadly too little, too late.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩 Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

I should post something positive every now and then so here's a pic of my daughter's ADORABLE miniature schnauzer pup Suki.

Kurtzgesagt knock it out of the park again youtu.be/_zfN9wnPvU0?...

I needed a palette cleanser today and this was it. I started in this industry in the late '90's and for me this was the benchmark for some years after it's release. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARTL...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This. So much fucking THIS

Done and done. Thanks for including the short video from the printer. A glass of port and the reading chair awaits. :)

No way! I did exactly the same thing here in Croatia 2 days ago. The bees seem to like it. I’m hoping it’s asteroid born and creating giant intelligent zombie bees.

Little hand drawn animation and banjo theme I made. It's been a year since my brother's passing, it's hard to type stuff so l'll just let the video speak for itself. Thank you for watching. Keep going, enjoy the sandwiches.

Folks who do this aren't seeing the bigger picture.

The only 'epidemic' here is one of denial. We've always been here, struggling to fit in.

Shock result!.. Auto-complete does 'auto-completey' things and nothing more.

Ordered mine way back and I need to plan plenty of down-time to really get stuck into it when postie delivers. :)

Why are the right wing only screaming about the first?

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop? #windows95

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI. All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work. For more info: authorsguild.org/news/anthrop...

Yeah, it's pretty much what Brexit did to us.

“Well it never ceases to amaze me that these things are still somehow regarded as ‘cult’ when they’re literally the predominant popular art form in the whole fucking world.” thebeemagazine.com/mark-gatiss-...

Every new desktop / laptop computer I get has to have this working - along with a genuine vintage controller. Yes, I have a vintage PS1 too - but you can't set that up in a cafe (I have various hand-helds as well but don't like small screens). :)

Little glints of blinding brilliance in the darkness.

I've just found 'characterdesignreferences' site which is a very refreshing collection of character / animation art - especially welcome in these modern times.

Why do actors in movies / TV move slowly in space? If anything they'd move quicker without the pull of gravity. EVERYONE does it.. WTH?

I really needed a lift yesterday and the Universe responded. On two seperate occasions while out on errands I was approached by former students of mine, both keen to tell me all about their ongoing education and how much they were enjoying the career choices I had helped encourage. ❤️

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but news / social media—especially when constant, chaotic, and unfiltered—can hit our brains like a DDoS attack: overload attention, flood emotions, and make it hard to think clearly. It’s okay to step back and curate what you let in. Your mental uptime matters.

New book aquisition! Well, a book I last read aged about 10, which was 51 years ago. I have multiple personal connections to both this book, its cover (by the author's brother Bryan) and the story itself. This is a real touchstone to my past and helped kickstart my love of sci-fi and art.

Watching Andor season 2 and explaining to my wife that the Stormtroopers don't look quite right. They're 95% there but they're competing with what I saw as a 15 year old in 1978. So, they're not there for me, but for the newer fans. This is me in my ANH gear - as happy as a trooper can be. :)

Watching Silo (season 2) on apple TV and it's sooo dark looking. The showrunner has admitted this and said the fix is that 'they'd be outside more in season 3'. How about they just introduce some 'cinematography' to the visuals? Remember that stuff? If not, ask a Lighting Camera Operator.

Today I learned the phrase 'Perfidious Albion' which explains why the best movie bad guys have British accents.

When I first saw this, I thought it was fake. I don’t even live in the UK (I’m in the Isle of Man) but I bet we Manx folk get caught up in this super-invasive bullshit.
