Today's my first along at #GFF26. Off to see Rose of Nevada (www.glasgowfilm.org/movie/rose-o...) & Wolves (www.glasgowfilm.org/movie/wolves-2). Will hopefully be joined by @feyriebunny.bsky.social today too, if things fall into place. Attending both weekends, so will drop reviews in 2 parts after.🎬

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

I expect to see this shit from Reform or the Tories. In fact, I have seen this shit with both. Not fucking Labour. But they are all frightened fascists now desperate for any bit of of their hateful tyranny. Vote Green

An absolutely on-point essay on ethics and anthropomorphised empathy in the realm of autonomous robotics. I too would boot the dog into the atmosphere for the purpose of this experiment, but also realise I have a tendency to easily assign fictionalised personality to objects...

being at the age where everyone you know is having children

Aw, my derpy Poké-lads are lookin' so cool celebrating their third decade!

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Spotted this Onion article a month or so back, but needed to hold off on posting until today. It's Lunar New Year, and we are now entering the year of the horse. Oooh, ~thematic~!

i can’t think about deer anymore without thinking of this tweet

me to other people: don't be scared of reposting/talk about your OCs etc(and I mean it) But when it's about myself: Carmen you are too cringe/annoying/talk too much/talk too little/don't do enough fanarts/only care about your fanarts/you are too much about ur OCs/people think poorly of you actually

My local bookshop understands their audience.

almost every writer I know

@zeeia-kii.ro Mandatory beautiful goff rodent alert!

Before modern 'Social Media', I spent a lot of time on blogs/forums. Did a lot of online roleplaying, supplemented by tabletop RP. Ain't so different now: still spend time with pals/flatmates, listen to music, play videogames & read books/comics. Always love going to the movies & watching shows too!

You shouldn't associate any medical care with any gender because anyone might identify as anything and still require it. People should just get access to the medical care and legal protection they need. It's not rocket science.

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

I regret to inform you that I have gone further down the terrible rabbit hole that is Elsie the Cow. If you squint at enough eBay listings trying to read the words, you find a saga of a marriage gone mad.

What a glorious thread about American cheese & glue cow mascots (different Laughing Cow to the one over here in Europe). Mascot lore is a wild and wonderful thing to deep-dive! (Have I got stuck down rabbit holes about the Michelin Man and Pillsbury Dough Boy before? Why indeed!)

So apparently I was so burnt-out & depressed last year that I didn't realise there was a third season of Leverage: Redemption. Like, I was so disspirited I blanked a whole season of one of my fave comfort watches. My brain denied me happiness; & I hate it for that. I have now remedied the mistake.

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

Went on a search back through my feed in search of the epic prehistoric mammals singing into microphones video (that I reposted and cherish every time I come across it)... Rolled back through my whole feed, including Twitter backlog. Couldn't find the video, but did cause mental damage.

Internet down midway through watching a movie. Fuckssake! Even my phone reception is struggling. Bleh, that's it, I'm af tae bed!

this crystal looks like terrible sushi

Well, this sounds right up my alley!

The feminist trends and ideals of modern Romantasy framed via the commercialisation of Girl Power in the 90s. A true banger of a video! As a fellow sad millennial elitist; I love it truly! Go waaaatch.

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I've been steamin' about this since it happened off the coast whilst I was home at New Year. Empty Venezuelan oil tanker fleeing U.S. invasion of their country, flying a Russian flag to seek safe harbour in the Baltic, but still in Scottish Waters. American troops have illegally renditioned two men.

This is still a conservative estimate from direct deaths with verified remains. It also doesn't include deaths from disease, starvation, and other causes that were indirect. The death toll is likely 3-4 times as high. Even with that, this is still 3% of the total population killed.

Honestly sounds like a very promising alternative purely visual social network. 👀 Things were a little janky getting a login at first, but that may just be the result of a lot of folks signing up all at once?

the thing I love so much about the Fallout show is that it ISN'T filled with empty, meaningless fan service and references but, instead, it is just telling a story, using the fallout universe this means it's willing to both change things and have new things happen

Hooted Rivalry.

Owl lads.

I'm sorry, but the reaction to Brianna Ghey being murdered by people she knew offline *because she was transgender* becoming 'we should stop teenagers from being on social media' rather than 'we should deal with the recent horrifying rise of transphobia in the UK' is unbelievably fucking bullshit.

YOU'RE NOT CRAZY - Why Your Food Is ACTUALLY Late

“Are the arts important?” Humanity practiced them long before they had use for science and will practice them long after math is gone. Is the dawn important? Is dusk?

Horrible horse for a horrible new year...

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Bwah ha ha... well hats off to you, Modiphius! I was just wondering this last week if I shouldn't start drafting some solo play rules for the Fallout RPG, as there weren't currently any. Officially beat me to the finish. I am SO here for this!

So, looks like a lot of folks are hopeful about UpScrolled being an Instagram/Meta killer. I admittedly don't use Insta for much, but some folks still do use it to stay in touch and share photos. Camping on my @ there just in case we start seeing folks jump from the Meta ship.

Oooft, not well. Peyton's father was aware of Adeline as he'd also been with her as a younger man. Both his parents would emphatically not approve of Samir; so were never told. His mum's not aware of Anna, but that's currently because she still thinks Peyton is dead. Ain't none of their business!

Probs best not to ask Peyton about his dreams as they're rarely peaceful. They often weave his Geist's experiences in with his own. He's got pretty chronic PTSD from his military service & contract killings that leave him snapping awake violently in the night, only now it's with added ghost trauma!

Peyton knows two languages competently - English primarily, and Lebanese Arabic picked up in part from his dad, then tutored by Adeline when in Beirut. He also learnt bits & pieces of French back in school, attained more from his Lebanese studies, but only knows limited phrases.

Have nabbed my tickets for @glasgowfilmfest.bsky.social this year, and am looking forward to watching & reviewing the new upcoming indie & niche genre films. Will be there for 5 days this time around, and will be joined by my pal @feyriebunny.bsky.social, so won't be on my lonesome the whole time! 🎬

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
