One of my patrons did a great job 3D printing and painting my Giant Squid mini :) Free stls: mz4250.com/posts/148134... I love seeing my works come to life like this. Stay amazing folks :)

Having seen Pixar’s cars a few too many times this is how my son insists his tractors are stored…

Spring has reached Scotland!

For no particular reason, I have been eyeing up Hasselblads recently 👀 Anyway I think the take home message here is never lend your Hassy to Michael Collins*. Losing one Hassy in space is an interesting claim to fame, losing two just seems careless kosmofoto.com/2020/02/the-...

The first woman excluded by chromosome testing later turned out to have mosaicism (1/2 of cells had XY 1/2 XX) and had to be apologised to decades on. The last had androgen insensitivity and couldn't develop male sex characteristics even if you injected her with enough T to kill an elephant.

She gave it the gift of sight and they gouged its eyes out and punished her. She is a modern day Prometheus, unjustly punished by the gods. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I found this humerus.

Possibly my all-time favourite Onion post. #Archaeology

Terrible statue, looks nothing like a dog.

'This is particularly true of scientists, whose creative contributions are well documented because everything they do is quantified through citations, publications, books, awards, and patents'. Huh? This is true of all academics, even in humanities and social sciences.

I'm doing the calculations here for mass efficiency moving 92 antiprotons. E=mc² =92*1.67e-27*(3e8^2) =1.4e-8 Diesel is about 2MJ per km, so 8e6J total Efficiency, mass per energy required to shift all 92 antiprotons: η=1.4e-8/8e6 *100% =1.73e-13%

Any more of this and I'll have to apologise to Dan Brown for everything I said about Angels and Demons.

Only @naomiarnold.bsky.social could deftly weave together my job and #needlefelting obsession into a coherent narrative. Delighted to be featured alongside Claire & David* for this lovely article. Hobbies are a vital source of nourishment in these difficult times. www.1news.co.nz/2026/03/22/p...

Ah! Good! An interview with @adrianhiel.bsky.social in The Guardian “Act one was cleaning up our power supply,” said Hiel. “Act two is getting that clean European electricity into buildings, industry and transport. It’s a completely different challenge.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you get the edge of your sleeve wet when you’re washing dishes you should be able to take the day off work the next day

2023's game of the year is 25% off for a limited time

When i fnish a chapter i celebrate by flinging a sheet of paper in the air then saying "sit ubu sit!"

YOU BET

Finally found this list of 15th century Italian names for cows I had saved ages ago and lost, but don't remember where I first got it from.

Interesting: BYD's 2.1 MW fast charger requires a grid connection of... 584 kW. It appears to come with a 1.5 MWh battery. As a result, it requires a lower grid connection capacity than competitors, while still being able to charge up to twice as fast. / www.etechvolution.com/p/byd-s-mega...

Dear God this is the Bad Place

I wrote this some years ago about scheduling software: kcoyle.net/schedule.html

I would sign this petition. And it should be fewer than there are working hours in the day.

A few days ago I did this interview out of Flare in London with filmmakers Lexi Powner and James Lewis and LGBTQ+ rights advocates Fridel Dausab and Rosanne Flamer-Caldera, about the film 'Out Laws' and the situation facing LGBTQ+ people internationally. www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/feature/2026... #lgbtq

Ram and CPU prices are going to go ever higher.

Another disrupted chain is Helium. Yes, the funny gas you use in non-exploding airships. Apparently it is critical to the manufacture of semi-conductors and chips. Who knew, right? Not an immediate issue, but NGL I'm at least going to giggle if shortages causes price rises to kill AI companies. 10/n

I liked it better when a stuck ship didn't crash the entire world economy.

What's the perfect GIF for your BlueSky persona?

I completely get this now. It's punk. It's rebellious. It's going to the extreme so that the people who are just outside the box can feel safer. It's protective chaotic lawful.

Hard hitting data based journalism on Reddit. Can two packs of skittles be the same?

You know, I don't think I ever heard this perspective from Nazi Germany, and WW2 was a topic we revisited a lot at school. In that place and time I guess there were some opinions that didn't make it into the historical record.

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.

<inhales, sighs> That's your problem right there mate. Submarines are water based, they shouldn't be going up hills, or climbing things. Once they fix that, it's all downhill. www.janes.com/osint-insigh...

This is not some lefty, hippy, environmentalist point of view. It's what investors are saying. www.ft.com/content/4696...

Don't read PinkNews. Don't click or share their posts If they want reporter free news it can be consumed by a reader-free audience

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

There will be lots of great things to do at the convention, but there’s lots of fun Science Fiction things happening around Glasgow too!

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

🦝 £1m saved in business rates by a landlord that owns a £550m portfolio. How? By having an augmented reality 'children's charity' occupy 40 of its Glasgow premises. Business rates are a big deal.

The Bell: Moving the overtoun window as always. Err bridge.

My friend @opensketchbook.bsky.social and I watched Forbidden Planet together and alternated between going, "Woaw! It's big budget 1950s Star Trek!" and going "oh my *god*" while covering our faces in horror

It’s the new @planetsmashergames.bsky.social campaign. A nice healthy start. Go and show some love for da ladz. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pla...

Godzilla is attacking London and you must summon a British kaiju to defeat them. Who are you choosing?
