Oof, that’s quite some hosting bill (Vercel CEO has covered it)

speaking of bad opsec, here's Epstein in 2007 reporting to Yahoo support that his accounts were hacked, revealing his super-strong passwords in the process

Nacho Vigalondo is a master and this movie whips ass. If you've never seen it, you're missing out on one of the best delightfully weird gems of the 2010's.

This is the stupidest thing in the whole of Markdown, where white space after one list item adds paragraph tags to all of them 🤷‍♂️

It’s the 136th anniversary today of some highly prized artefacts from Ancient Egypt being auctioned in Liverpool. From there, the 180,000 mummified cats in question went to their splendid and dignified final resting place. A museum? No. They were ground up and used for fertiliser 🧵

making a list of american institutions that are meeting this moment, and so far I've got burning man and paleontology down here... guess we're rebuilding society around the study of dinosaur bones and doing drugs in the desert

Ad test update: earnings dropped steadily, now I’m testing running an ad when the game loads instead. May not make any difference if page/site is seen as poor but worth testing, most of the rest of the site is vaguely similar so same issues apply

Really freaking me out trying to wrap my head around this Craigslist post of a guy, (this HAS to be a guy) who is trading $800k of crap he collected throughout his life for an RV. List includes but not limited to: fedora business, photography studio, piercing studio. It's a Tim Robinson character.

Happy 13th anniversary to this pair of matching news headlines.

vholume's environment design is kind of incredible.

Reminds me of this classic

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable

at work we made a little chat room where everyone is a cultist and it maps your webcam directly onto your head so you can walk around and talk to people

Two related pieces of information: - Went to get some spring onions out of the fridge, found a bunch of daffodils instead - I wasn’t wearing my glasses when I unpacked the shopping two days ago

If there’s a viable ad network out there that doesn’t set cookies, doesn’t need a GDPR overlay, & will take a daft site with a million views per month, please do let me know (ones I’ve contacted are focused on more valuable content types)

Adding this label does make me feel a little better about trying out ads on my site (currently just one after playing Penga)

Yeah seems about right, although Liberal Democrats feel a bit close

404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts www.404media.co/watch-404-me...

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

Finally found a barber I like. Minimal chatting, good job, quick work and good price. Yesterday he said my recent cold was because of my Covid jabs and waffled on for 25 minutes about it. Lunacy. I can never return and have to find a new barber.

Oh boy.

I’ve resisted putting ads on the vole site largely because (a) you get particularly bad ones on games sites etc, & (b) the cookie consent overlay is v annoying …but I have bills to pay, so I’m currently trying AdSense just on Penga end screen to see what it earns. I hate it so much though, ugh.

Ha, the UK won’t fund even modest transport upgrades if they don’t touch London, there’s no way this will ever get anywhere near happening www.dezeen.com/2026/02/06/t...

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

Friday! Lunchtime! Everything is objectively horrible and everyone running the world is a moron or a criminal or both, so why not bury your head in some Good Internet and CLICK TO FORGET? Web Curios! Read by literally NOONE named in the Epstein Files! webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-06...

I’m going to be doing a kickstarter for Terran omega issue 1. (32 pages, full colour sci-fi comic!) If you’d like to know when it launches (soon!) sign up for my mailing list pjholden.kit.com (check your spam folder after you sign up -you should get a verification email). Would appreciate a RT!

Let’s be honest: in many of these winter Olympic “sports”, the snow is doing most of the work. An unexpected thaw would expose these so-called athletes for the frauds they are

Working on a thing for/with someone who makes similar stuff and it’s amazing how much that’s shifting “oof that doesn’t seem feasible” towards “there’s got to be a way somehow"

Just saw a post with George Clinton citing the Beatles as his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

I have now!

No govt wants to be the one that approves billions for it, or decides to move, so they’ll keep putting it off til it burns down

Currently stubbornly trying to turn a sensible piece of software & its data into a massive game, now down to only two more bodges needed to make it viable, so close…

I mean at heart part of the problem is that air ambulances are charity funded rather than a core government funded emergency services. Police helicopters aren't funded by charity

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

If you had tweets that were popular with tech people, there’s a reasonable chance you’re in the Epstein files thanks to Twitter’s “Popular in your network” emails

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

We are cut adrift from our own humanity. Lurching toward oblivion.

When people talk about the idea that some universities must go under, there’s a certain tendency to behave as if these smaller local campuses are negligible- regrettable casualties perhaps but not ‘real’ universities. This report does a great job of illustrating why that’s wrong.

I love it when you complain about the price of food and people say "just meal prep 7 days of boiled chicken cubes!!!" because whether it works or not you are advocating for an existence that would have a medieval peasant grabbing their scythe

Today my Gen Z friend and I were talking about vintage tech, and she asked me what “the box under the screen” was called. I feel BAD about how loud I shouted “THE COMPUTER???” (“No, the box the screen sits on.” “THE COMPUTER???” I shouted again, even more rattled now)
