One of the reasons nu-Trek is borderline unwatchable is they do not stop moving the camera, like they have no confidence in the material being interesting enough Rewatching ER and they have a v dynamic camera too but it is *rhythmic* & buoys the emotional content of the material quite wonderfully

Only in London for a couple of days and my highest priority it turns out was seeing a penis (for life drawing)

Me: what do you think of this moisturiser Shop assistant: oh it’s great my ☠️ MOTHER USES IT ☠️ Help I suddenly became Mother Age

lol “underestimated” doing a lot of euphemistic heavy lifting there for “easily influenced”

Am I going to revisit ER from the very beginning Man it really is such a good pilot, I had clean forgotten

I cannot recommend travelling with electrical tape ENOUGH Hotels have weird lights that cannot be switched off. LEDs from TVs, motion sensitive wardrobe lights etc CONDEMN THEM by strapping leccy over them. I also travel with bluetak, anything makes noise, TAK it down I have many Idil Tips

The Running Point show is very complex, which of the many billionaires do we root for

Some colour block drawing studies for practice.15-20 mins each I think, almost entirely a 100% opacity brush. And almost no zooming in, trying to paint at a distance. Always afraid to do these so trying to be a bit more disciplined with them

Fantasising about creating a watch that simply gives you your movement / cardiovascular data as a CSV and transmits nothing and there is no sign up and no subscription, and has no fused engineering parts so it can be easy maintained for decades

Yet again I read about an autistic high IQ kid doing a masters in maths at age 11 etc here I am JEALOUS, with an higher IQ (IQ is fictional) wishing I got that sweet special interest MIT autism My boyfriend diplomatically calls mine Social Science Autism & it is both the rudest and funniest thing

The new Scrubs cinematography style is: All the lightbulbs

First draft sketch of this fellow. A lot of deadlines on right now so hopefully find the time at some point to finish this nonchalant dude

There is an influx of no/minimum contact with family storylines on new TV and like ok yes the millennials are in writers’ rooms But typically the story is their partners are confused or even SHOCKED they would keep things from their parents - so I think the writers are a few therapy sessions short

Argh the Vitamin C gummies I have are so freaking delicious and I am eating them like an 11 year old churns through the Fruit Pastilles at the tuck shop

A new dystopia phrase I have been subjected to re. Advert design: ‘Dopamine stacking’ Adverts being praised/rewarded for their ability to dopamine stack, though they are therefore contributing to dopamine crashouts, addiction, bedrot -& exploitation of individuals with (ADHD) dopamine-disregulation

years ago I hired a cleaner out of desperation & through tears I admitted - I can *feel* fabric softener & it is horrifying please don’t use it - I lose things if they’re in cupboards please don’t put anything away & she just… nodded & that’s when I realised my childhood could have been SO SIMPLE

Idil jumpscare 🎂43🎂

So there are some services which bundle their morally defunct AI with their ‘Premium’ packages and finally we have gone full circle so now, like adverts, I would happily pay Premium for no ads and no AI

This is my favorite Artemis II photo.

Hooray today is my birthday 🎂 Here is me with my beau on the coast of the Bosphorus where many of my Ottoman forefathers have stood before me, but none I warrant quite as dorky

There needs to be a fund that somehow funds and moreso - facilitates - women that were made to feel too terrified by predatory men to pursue creative and production careers

Just heard the new HP series accurately called ‘’millennial nostalgia slop”, which finally explains why no one on that production cares about the fury against jkr It’s just milking a millennial cow luring them to spend their dribblets of cash on small comforts, blinkering themselves to the horrors

I spent some time slowly figuring out that ‘mantasy’ was not in fact romantic fantasies about manatees

Yes but they don’t pay it with their money. With ‘their’ money (which is all loans upon loans upon cascading financial structures) made 💰💰 on betting markets and the stock market (which they are using as a meme coin) with inside info, so for them, this was an extremely successful war

I have wanted to design one of these my entire life. Please enjoy my first space mission patch!!!!!

I have seen some late-stage AI apologists creep out recently - with their gasping cries, “oh it’s just a toool” and “I just do ressseaaarch with it”, and what they don’t realise is it sounds like a *deathrattle* 🩷

Especially especially glad Wikipedia stood firm on this, just thank all the internet gods

I’ve been quite taken by the Turritopsis dohrnii recently, the immortal jellyfish, which can essentially revert back to its baby self and bud again, potentially forever 🧬 Here are some tile designs I doodled in honour of this tiny immortal

Finally I had a little bit of an evening to myself and this is what came out. Another ridiculous tile design

“Military-aged males” so like… just a bunch of young regular guys, maybe in uni

Cut the arts, libraries, sports, science budgets, sex education, ban books, no domestic science classes, no financial literacy classes, but here is the funding to use ethically defunct apps proven to erode children’s cognitive development to prepare them to reply with an AI email to an AI email

I am quite a fan of the 1987 Masters of the Universe film - Frank Langella’s most operatic work - & there is a v great detail that of course they clearly failed to do in the 2026 movie Everyone is FULLY draped in clothing. Almost no skin exposure so that Dolph’s shimmering muscles POP all the more.

Absolutely bawling at those last two episodes of Company Retreat. How they topped Jury Duty Season 1 I have no idea. It really is so beautiful

The problem with Company Retreat is that I too have had to sit through ‘guru’ consultant workshops where every single thing is the most vacuous self-aggrandising nonsense thing you’ve ever heard - it is identical to Episode 6 - so there is genuinely no reason for him to think any of this is fake

They never found this correlation with all the stuff that got fearmongered that grew out of grassroots, indie & word of mouth engagement. Video games, internet, TV… Rock music lol. LLMs grew top down, imposed, intertwined insidiously into platforms we had to use (email etc), insisting upon itself.

“…the researchers argue that AI systems have given rise to a categorically different form of “cognitive surrender” in which users provide “minimal internal engagement” and accept an AI’s reasoning wholesale without oversight or verification.”

So Send Help is faultless. The script is so smart about how it justifies how well they are able to handle each other’s sociopathies AND also it is a very fun gory Raimi rollercoaster

Can an artist’s Patreon really work without rewards. I want to host my art / work-in-progress somewhere - there is so much lingering on my hard drive.

Five shows to get to know me: - Star Trek: TNG - Star Trek: DS9 - Star Trek: Voyager - Star Trek: Enterprise (yes) - Bones

It is simply illegal to charge money for education in Finland which means all kids of all backgrounds MIX TOGETHER (gasp) and become socially better adjusted, and the rich do what they can to ensure all the public schools are VERY GOOD. It is - can you even imagine - a win win win situation

I have wanted to design one of these my entire life. Please enjoy my first space mission patch!!!!!

Thomas gets taken to a black ops site

You'll die full of ideas. If I threw myself 100% into just executing the stuff in my notebooks NOW, I'd never get through them in the 20-odd years I have left. Ideas are just boxes to hold the emotions you're trying to magically convey from your brain into strangers' brains.

Incredibly cool

I have a virgin Kindle, one that has never known the internet, which Amazon can never touch. I populate it gently with ebooks by hand through a wire, like I am feeding seeds to a happy pigeon It helps keep me off my phone, a phone I have deleted Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter & TikTok from
