One year ago today I posted this miniature Toy Story/Jurassic Park parody photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. The rain, flashlight beam and headlights I digitally added in the rest is all real. #photography #miniatures #toyphotography

Wondering how long it’s going to take Peacemaker to realises there are no coloured people in the alternate universe.

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

2. Countries that have ID cards - like the whole of Europe - still have the same irregular migration problem (you may have heard!!!) & in fact the UK has the lowest share of its economy estimated as irregular economy in Europe so if it fixes the issue WHY DIDNT IT FIX IT THERE?

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

What if the rapture does happen tomorrow except nobody is worthy so everything just continues as normal?

Starmer is done. Labour needs to find a new leader and pivot away from trying to chase right wing policies. Trying to mimic Reform isn’t working. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

*Extremely aggressive early-2000s toiletries commercial for men*: DAKTARIN POWDER DUST. YOUR. WETS.

Has Tommy Robinson stopped shagging kids?

Anyway, back to what’s actually important: Donald Trump drew an image of a naked prepubescent girl, a child, for his convicted child trafficker friend’s birthday and everyone in the news keeps referring to it as a drawing of a “naked woman” which is really fucked up.

Secretary of being a big pissbaby more like. Who wants to come to your fascist hellhole anyway?

It’s good to see that some things* in America are improving. *Their aim.

If you see anyone glorifying violence or harm today, no you fucking didn’t.

Sometimes you just gotta make a big ol’ tuna salad

I sometimes wonder to myself why even ostensibly left-wing parties and governments are swinging towards hard-right totalitarian policies and then I remember that we’re barreling irreversibly towards a total global ecological collapse with no way to stop it.

Instead of trying to build a real AI, they've just tried to build something which can convincingly and consistently pass the Turing test, but rather than the Turing test proving that LLMs is capable of thinking, LLMs just prove that the Turing test is a flawed method of testing real AI.

This is what people get wrong about Captain America as well. Both are seen as American propaganda, but they aren’t supposed to represent what America is, but what it could be. With the strength they have it would be even easier for them to be selfish, who could stop them? But they choose not to be.

My home insurance renewal was going to be a 40% increase this year so I decided to shop around for a better quote and alternatives ranged from 50% more to 375% more (not a typo) despite no claims for over 5 years.

My daughter is going to see Limp Bizkit play live at Leeds festival this weekend and I am less 'young and angry' and more 'old and jealous'.

Just spent the last few hours faffing around with screens and sheets trying to figure out how to take photographs of framed art without getting reflections in the glass. Then realised I could just remove the glass to photograph them.

If you're a parent with kids at school in Edinburgh it's time to get in touch with your school admin and make clear you will not accept them bullying trans kids out of education. This is cruel and discriminatory behaviour. Child cruelty. goodlawproject.org/what-have-i-...

Fuck the Met Up the PA

Seems like a direct act of war against all member states of the UN to me. Our governments should probably do something about that.

This is the problem when you have a great idea when you're young. You still have time to try for a sequel but you only had one good idea in you so all your follow up ideas are shit and stupid. If Zuckerberg had invented Facebook in his 60s he would've died long before humiliating himself like this.

Me at your gran's funeral, not really understanding how words of condolences work: Ah well, plenty more fish in the sea, eh?

Every time you say you don’t believe in age verification, a child dies.

LLMs need to come with a warning label. It’s ridiculous that people just blindly accept everything they generate as fact when in reality it’s mostly just convincingly phrased bullshit.

First Ozzy Osbourne, now Hulk Hogan. Has anyone done a wellness check on Mike Myers and Susan Sarandon?

This is exactly the wrong approach. We don’t want to be treated differently, we want society to be better so we can exist in it without having to be the exception. If cops just learned to communicate better in general then it would be good for everyone they interact with, whether they’re ND or not.

“Why don’t I ride my bike more often? Oh, right…yeah”

The Bitter Spume

In the 90s we spoke like “yeah I’m down with the sickness, I’m Barf Simpson, I’m Sigourney Heaver, Justin Chunderlake, the Spew-Tang Clan, Squitny Spears, Brad Shits, Ill Smith, Arnold Spacklenegger, Keanu Heaves, Pukey Goldberg.” We didn’t have the internet back then so you can’t verify this.

Musk can make: - electric cars that blow up - self-landing space rockets that blow up - relationships with presidents that blow up but the one thing that still eludes him is the ability to make a viral tweet that blows up.

Q: How will the police be able to tell the difference between protestors and the huge crowds of Trump supporters? A: Protestors will actually be there.

One of these cowards better do something real, and soon, otherwise they’re going to loose the audience.

Throughout childhood, adults would ask me for help with their VCRs and computers. Now as a parent, my teenage kids keep asking me for help with their phones and computers. Technology hasn't advanced beyond the 2000s, and Millenials are the only generation who understands how any of it works.

When it comes to personal development I’m a perfectionist, but I’m getting better.

This is fucked up and promotes the idea that neurodiverse people need to force themselves to fit in with societal norms - at the cost of their own well-being - rather than modernising societal norms to accommodate neurodiversities.

I go by the rule “if this image isn’t worth me spending the time to write alt text for it, then this image isn’t worth posting at all”.
