How I make over six figures a month

Making space for the little guy to do his job. Working together to bring nature back.

Schrödinger's immigrants: They both - have free council housing AND are being put up in posh hotels - are stealing 'are' jobs AND claiming benefits I think the issue right wingers have is not knowing how the system really works. Hey racists, your lack of logical intelligence is showing.

A bit of #scrollsaw a bit of #art ... And he's breaking out of the frame!

Made a new, bigger, stronger workshop bench - this is the back side of it. Compared to my last bench, it's like I've gone from a 4 door hatchback to a SUV. Solid as a rock!

I'm so old my back goes out more than me.

So, we've had a couple of nice warm days so far this year, when are #water firms announcing hose-pipe bans?

As a heads-up, I'll be at MagicCon: Amsterdam as long as there is still available jet fuel ✈️

Excellent news, now do the water companies. www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

Local elections in the UK today. As it's local and not general, I'd be inclined to vote for the person that actually presented a credible plan of action, in person. Unfortunately, other than a couple of posted leaflets, I have no idea who is on the list or what their objectives are.

Based on his novel, I WAS A TEENAGE SEX PISTOL follows Glen Matlock’s journey as a founding member of the Sex Pistols, their rise to global infamy, and the account of a group of malcontents, determined to change the music business, attack hypocrisy and stale conventions in society at large

Teaching myself how to #scrollsaw starting with this project. Backing has been through shou sugi ban, front part hand sprayed.

Today I shall use paper straws, recycle all my rubbish and only walk or use public transport so #billionaires can continue flying their private jets around the world. #blesstheirsilksocks

Good riddance to hereditary peers. This country remains in thrall to aristocracy and inherited privilege, and it's an absolute cancer. "Birth right" bollocks should not afford anyone a higher status than others in 2026. Ludicrous crap.

It's pretty easy for me, as a lame arsed developer to grab basic stats like these, so, if I can tell the age of website visitors, I am sure corporations have the money and skills to obtain exactly the info they need.

Any platform or website that asks me to 'verify my age' can swing for it. There is 100% no reason to implement such a useless process. You have my data already. You know what I am going to do before I do. This has nothing to do with 'protecting the children'. Verify this.

Happy St Georges day to all in England. Wear your flag high and proud, celebrate what it means to be English. And for all those using today as an excuse to be racist, you are not welcome.

Wait! So, she got caught trying to dodge inheritance tax on an estate originally purchased with stolen property, but has been let off because of her connections? I presume the same rule doesn't apply to everyone else? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

In #woodworking there are only 2 types of people. Those that have clamps. Those that want clamps.

Hey #billionaires - you know all this hatred you're spreading for no real reason, well, are you bored or something? Ever thought of using your money for building positives in life? Do you just need a hug?

Project Hail Mary. The film. Watched it. It's OK, but ... what was all the hype about? What I saw was ... obvious. What did I miss?

I’m preparing for Dorset Art Weeks. I'm venue 188 (dorsetartweeks.co.uk/venues/marc-...) if you'd like to see my work, especially my seascapes, up close and personal. I'll be open throughout the period from the 23rd May to the 7th June, 10.30-4pm except Sundays and Mondays when I’m closed.

Expansion Algorithm - painted for Magic: The Gathering's "Secrets of Strixhaven". Watercolour and acryla gouache on Arches watercolour paper. Perhaps my most challenging painting to date - an Escher-esque pattern of tessilating fish and birds, emerging from a flat plane.

I'm full on for governments implementing age restrictions for social media as it encourages kids to work on work arounds just as always happens when kids are banned from something. Blame the corporations not the kids.

It's Friday so I wonder how the world of stocks and shares are doing. Specifically in the oil industries. And I wonder if they will magically bounce back on Monday. #notsuspiciousatall

Today, Matthew, I am.outraged that I have nothing to be outraged about. Maybe I can make something up? 15 minute immigrants? 5G hotels? Politicians wearing their sponsor logos?

NDAs are not worth the paper they are printed on to those that have to sign them. They only give rights the richest person in the room. If you cannot trust everyone concerned, don't do business with them.
