Oh cool, @druttercup.bsky.social has done another reading from my book, "Watson is Not an Idiot"! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWra...

Just so that my stance is painfully clear: Fuck generative AI entirely. It does nothing but steal and then regurgitate bullshit and is actively destroying creative thinking. No form of AI should ever have been made available to the public, let alone shareholders.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

This is just amateurish. The box contents would be short-term ok in a different situation, but has nobody even considered the practicalities of using them? I'm going to be *really* charitable and assume cockup over conspiracy, but they don't know what they are doing & need to listen to those who DO.

25% of young children and pregnant women malnourished in Gaza, charity says, as PM vows to fly critical medical cases to UK news.sky.com/story/25-of-...

I did a thing!

The only exception to this is if you want to support creatives who get commissions through affiliate links. Guess how we get those? via codes that tell the website/kickstarter/etc, "Hey see this link? X person shared this, so you should pay them out for their link." It's typically "?ref=" IIRC (1/3)

Oh dear Grud yes, dammit. Need it. www.empireonline.com/movies/news/... Rogue, Johnny Alpha and Dredd were my borderline-inappropriate favourite characters as a kid (and up). If 3d animated, wonder if Simon Pegg would be up to reprise his Alpha from the Big Finish audios?...

And this is what we call a BIG TANK.

I am officially unemployed now so if anyone needs any work doing or wants to take advantage of our 40% sale on DTRPG, I'd really appreciate it atm legacy.drivethrurpg.com/m/browser/pu...

Very cool to see Mike Pondsmith won the Rick Loomis Service Award for his contributions not only to games but to the industry and hobby of gaming over his career. www.originsawards.net/news/2025-wi...

Being a writer with any public profile means folks attribute to you terrible ideas you know nothing about until it comes to your attention. Meanwhile everyone thinks "wow so-and-so has some really awful ideas, what an idiot." Scoot down to the bottom to read my reply. www.reddit.com/r/DoctorWhoN...

My net is (like everyone's) being bitty, so no Thaumaturge stream today, apologies. Anyone on my discord, I'm going to have a punt at streaming something there :)

So good to hear! ♥ We put in a lot of work and love into building a lived-in world. Atmosphere first is our credo :)

Oh, I've been waiting for this! My first look at Near Mage from @stuckinattic.bsky.social . Join me at 7.30pm UK on www.twitch.tv/druttercup or @druttercup on YouTube

Given they deal with wastewater, I suppose it's traditional for Southern Water to take the piss, but this is ridiculous :-( Bill literally doubling.

It won't be easy...

Been asked to write professionally for free? The Writers Guild of Great Britain would like to know. www.writersguild.org.uk/free-work #FreeIsNotAnOption

Adam is a fantastic performer, really looking forward to this :-)

I’m in a group exhibition/art fair in Ramsgate at the end of May, ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’; an art fair for the weird and wonderful. COME!

*sigh* Bluesky, if I have someone blocked, for whatever reason, including "I'm in danger of calling them a wanker and that's probably rude", I don't wish to see their posts, and be unable to mute them because "you have blocked this user". What the actual frell?

Your weekly reminder that Unbound/Boundless should be avoided at all costs.

Admittedly niche video in a niche hobby, but it suddenly becomes a perfect example of what happens when unsourced information proliferates. This should be on the curriculum at schools 🙂 Another belter from @snipethesorrow.bsky.social & @wib.bsky.social #WarhammerCommunity youtu.be/weRj6pjxJR8?...

As some of you know, I work at a big box pet store. We are in a strip mall area with other big box stores. There is a goose in the parking lot sitting on a clutch of eggs. I have had to warn two coworkers from going up to pet her I swear young people. GEESE WILL FUCK YOU UP.

🚨HOLY SHIT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!🚨 STRANGE DAYS is streaming on Criterion Channel as part of their 3 By Bigalow collection. This movie is ALMOST NEVER available and slaps so hard it'll hurt your mama. A must see for any Sci-fi/Cyberpunk/Neo-Noir fan. Such a great fucking movie. LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!

Who in the name of Cthulhu's favourite gloopy spawn thought this was a good idea, and what muppet approved it?? The course may be good, but this potentially devalues all the other courses, even if the lecturers are still extant. Among MANY other objections. community.designtaxi.com/topic/11340-...

Well, it's going to be a fun few years with absolutely nothing useful happening in Local Government here in Kent :(

I'm doing something different for Fashion Friday this week as I stumbled upon this art by Lady Brat. It gives me the right vibes for Roller Derby in the time of the RED. If you want to learn more about Roller Derby in Cyberpunk RED check out the free dlc "Chasing the Rabbit" at rtalsoriangames.com
