Here's Cernunnos, wishing you all a merry Yuletide, however you celebrate! The name Cernunnos appears in an inscription on a first-century CE Roman pillar from Gaul, associated with a horned figure.

Do you guys know North Atlas? They’re a cool Scottish (I think) industrial/synth band with pagan influences… (And yeah, I bake my Christmas cookies with a metal soundtrack 🤘🤘🤘) m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr9P...

I've stuck randomly generated conspiracies onto Matt from the Telegraph's cartoons to create "Tinfoil Matt" (Not AI, me writing templates, the good old fashioned way to do these things with a strong degree of authorship.) Follow @tinfoil-matt.bsky.social NOW.

It's a festive ode to the incredible work of @moonjam.com

This is a lovely thread about some wonderful little old ladies! Reading it will make you feel a little better about humanity… 🥰💖

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media. Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

It's a Winter Solstice celebration!

This may seems like a strange thing to say, but I may have had a tiny hand in the idea of making Stonehenges out of biscuits becoming A Thing.

I made a pair of hazel hurdles today, trying to keep the cat out of the tree. We shall see, he's agile and curious..

My mate and I have a hatred of Mick Hucknall from Simply Red. He has a whole wall in his house dedicated to artwork vilifying him - weird admittedly. I set up a Facebook page dedicated to this and his management found it and sent us a friend request. Immediately deleted page.
