"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I put together an AMV vidshow for this year's VidUKon, featuring some old classics and some new favourites I discovered while doing research for the show. The RGU entry upset at least two people, so you know you're in for a good time. youtu.be/u213hhsAt7c?...

the main concern is that with my genetic data the government can make a tiny clone of me that they can torture to get even more of my data

Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences (vid ideas) of my own actions (watching TV I like). I will learn nothing from this.

trillion dollar industry that will revolutionize everything

The most important political action Americans can commit to right now is to ensure I don't have to read a word about the new Captain America movie, which has been in theaters for a week and which I only learned existed five minutes ago. Good hustle out there, you guys are doing great.

Also made two Severance vids, get them while they're hot. Still avoiding S2 spoilers but am relieved to know that it features more iconic Milchick behaviour to put in future vids. archiveofourown.org/works/62489425 archiveofourown.org/works/62390251

Hey, bet you forgot I make vids sometimes. Well, so did I. Night is Short, Walk on Girl is a fun movie except there's a guy in it who should have played the role of Wile E. Coyote and they made him the romantic lead instead. Here's the short version of my vision. archiveofourown.org/works/62549980

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

Show me your pet and what they're named after. "Well, as you can see from this small sampling, modeling is my life. It is my destiny, I shall accept nothing less."

Man, sci-fi shows are finally asking the real questions. I think 'would you fuck your clone?' discourse has run its course, it's time for 'would your work persona try to kill you?' discourse to take its place.

Happy Halloween

You know how Steam reviews show you the number of hours the reviewer had played a game at the time of reviewing? I wish AO3 did that for fanfic authors, for all media types.

The prog rock band Papadosio reached out to me years ago to make some pixel art covers for their album Microdosio. It was lovely getting to animate these scenes for them. My favourite detail was adding the little ants climbing up and down the tree on the Lion's Mane one. #pixelart

Also they should post pictures of any particularly cute cars and give them funny names

I think the strangest thing about my current state of health is that certain horror stories are now pressing the wrong buttons, like I'm a test subject in a questionable psych experiment.

So back in 2019, the ICJ issued an advisory opinion that the UK was "under an obligation to end its administration" of the Chagos Archipelago (CA)/British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), followed by the UN GA adopting a resolution affirming the CA as part of the territory of Mauritius. [1/19]

I'm housebound, so I'm looking at random subreddits bc it's like going outside & lifting rocks to see what's underneath. Found a post listing things the OP would change about Death Note: 1st point is "make Light more relatable". To their credit, this is i) v funny & ii) better than the alternative.

Aw man, I was at the listening party for the PALISADE OST earlier today and I’m still feeling weirdly hungover & uncharacteristically sentimental, so: I think it's unkind, even rude, to make music this good without the aid of drugs(?) or adultery(??), but what can you do? [sad piano sting]
