The Dan Brown book tour is getting out of hand

What's wrong babe, you've barely touched your AI Slop Personalised Swearing Tortoise Debenhams Whiskey Bottle?

Shout out to past-me for making qr.matteason.co.uk and saving present-me from wading through the crap Google results for 'qr code generator' because I always forget to bookmark the good ones

I'm making tiny Taskmaster trophies now if you'd like to be a tiny Taskmaster pixelgrabber.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

NFTs really were the perfect celebrity rube magnet. If I were a scammer I'd be looking at whatever celebrities were flaunting their apes and specifically targeting them with my next magic bean switcheroo

Reading this made my mouth suddenly taste like a 9v

I just added a vacuum cleaner sound to ambiph.one and I'm taking bets on how long before I have to change this icon for being too baffling to anyone outside the British isles

There's a very real possibility that the Kidz Bop version of Wood by Taylor Swift is going to be more listenable than the original

AKA The Bible

@phlaimeaux.bsky.social You gave it 110% and it just wasn't to be this time. We go again.

This week's South Park is going to be interesting
