What do you mean non fungible? Have you seen what fungi can eat? Everything is fungible to them. There's even that motherfucker of a slime mould living on the _inside_ of the Chernobyl Sarcophagus that can photosynthesise hard gamma, apparently.

When an antique spirit stove that was neither a Primus or an Optimus, and thus a brand with a reputation for blowing up in your face, blows up in your face, the only sensible response is to turn it's corpse into a silly robot:

Bask in the unfeasible glory that is Aotearoa New Zealand's only locally designed and built Tank.

Uhoh. Well, I knew Collins was a fascist, but now she makes it obvious: www.facebook.com/judithcollin...

Correct headline should be "Revenant Zombie Economic Terror Weapon from the '80s Concerned that Current Finance Minister isn't Doing Enough Damage To Matter" www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This will be why I'm suddenly selling a bunch of sheepskins and leather to some of the usual suspects :-)

First day of pre-production!

Tremendous hubris to think one can make a career entirely based on normalising political violence in rhetoric but not end up facing that very normalised violence.

Here, I made an explanatory type example of a Cultural Neo Marxist picture so we know what they look like.

Blowback: Zohran Mamdani's dad, on his intro to the works of Karl Marx: The FBI, shakedown in anticommunist paranoia after he, a new post independance Ugandan scholarship student in the US, went to a rally in Montgomery, Alabama: full interview here: readingfanon.blogspot.com/2013/07/in-c...

If you've wondered how time works when you have ADHD, this sort of explains it:

I have forwarded this image to my significant other, for she is a traffic scientist and will appreciate it.

I've spent time in nations where I don't speak the language well, my visa may stop on a whim, and tho I can work, I can't access benefits, and a mistake in front of armed men or with a passport stamp can spell disaster, the world is making me feel this song hard again: youtu.be/aKpgb2WrGo0?...

Ok, that came out so nice it's a shame I'm selling it. Good thing I've got two more of those buckles in the various kit that fell off the back of a slow moving Taika Waititi/Netflix cancelled show props auction.

US. Los Desaparacidos phase beginning. If you are part of any group of society that this Regime holds in contempt, uses as scapegoats, or is trying to control, Do Not Go To the United States. If you are there, and you have the means and the documentation, Leave. Leave Now.

🔴 LEAKED: Oil Execs and Trump Allies Attend Jordan Peterson’s ARC Conference 🔴 A list of attendees viewed by DeSmog shows fossil fuel companies represented alongside major religious right groups at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship event.

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies. The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

Well, I see no way this can go wrong: pivot-to-ai.com/2025/01/05/e...

You cannot hope to bribe or twist, thank God! the British journalist. But, seeing what the man will do Unbribed, there's no occasion to Humbert Wolfe 1855-1940

Dead eye'd grifting fucker:

Apparently an airliner just wiped out into a blackhawk helicopter and crashed into the Potomac. I can't see any way this sort of incident could go un-investigated or happen more regularly, do you?

C/2024 G3 ATLAS: Ten second exposure braced on a fencepost. Impressive for an iphone camera and an object that's about 7.3 magnitude (ie, totally not naked eye visible.)

New tools made: Seam flatteners in Rodingite, top, and Peridotite, bottom.

If you don't moderate the immoderate, well, what's the point of having moderation. Especially if the immoderate are distributing private medical information obtained without consent. chng.it/hMHDNqD2Cx

I got to view a piece of scientific history that I could afford, but shouldn't buy: www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605... Radium sample capsule (empty, residually about at background really) and calibration letter signed by Marie Curie :-). It went for NZ$5700

You can't tell me that this isnt the Druid Beastmaster that Sex Machine from Dusk 'til Dawn plays when he's gaming with his vampire biker bar mates:

Best Tools. Every so often, I bestow upon an item the use name 'Best tool'. Here are the three current bearers: A flint chopper and scraper I made when I was ~18, A boxwood seam flattener/plumber's sheet metal folder out of Grandad Alan's tool chest, and the strap cutter Bjorn gave me last month.
