i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

A3 Frankenstein prints are here, I've got two spare (of seven in the world) if you want one DM me now.

The sprog and I did this over the weekend, I needed a few wees, and she pretty much went to the toilet at the end of every chapter. Ten minutes in the middle is nowhere near long enough for a four hour movie.

It’s the seventh anniversary of the publication of ‘Everything is awesome: Don’t forget the Lego’ in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, which told how six “paediatric health-care professionals were recruited to swallow a Lego head” and measure how long it took to ~ahem~ pass through them

Someone’s done the Wrath of Khan Starfleet Field Coat as a unisex cardigan.

More bus and USB keyboard adventures, this time with the W, A, S and D keys. Oh, and please don't chuck keyboards out of bus windows

When I was a kid, dad told me this, "You are not learning to draw because you might become the greatest artist ever. But, during those minutes of solitude between work shifts, when you can sit down with a cup of coffee, you can draw on the napkin with a ballpoint pen. You can keep your soul alive."

type for books used to be set using little metal letters built into words in racks and then inked and pressed on to paper. If you had stock phrases you wanted to reuse a lot you could make a cast of them called a ‘stereotype’. The sound of them *clicking* into place, in French, is ‘cliché’

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

Well if there’s one thing we learned about Trump this week it’s that he likes his Democrats hung. He’s been full-throated about that.

Just a couple more days to bid on these as well as on others from a great list of people from the entertainment world, sport and the arts.

My copy arrived! Thanks, @vole.wtf This is definitely going to cause some hair loss when I type it all in and things inevitably don’t work. Ah, the good old days.

If you're in the UK and can't be doing with all these fancy subscription streaming services you can watch MOON now on Channel4, oh yes indeed! www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/moon

🆒 NEW GAME! 🆒 Only the coolest people can draw a Cool S really fast vole.wtf/cool-s/

Christ. I still have one hooked up the TV. The sprog and her friends use it for Guitar Hero.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Thanks, Geoff. Yes, it’s a cold one here in South London where we’ve heard reports of the drizzle turning to snow! Big chunks of the white stuff were briefly seen floating amongst the predicted fine rain this morning before all precipitation stopped. More as we get it. Back to you in the studio.

This is incredible.

I’ve ended up on a night bus, so bought some snacks for the long journey. I’ve just eaten a massive bag of pickled onion monster munch and my tongue is numb. I’ve already achieved more than you today! Here’s my twelve-step programme…

Does he even own a suit?

Currently enjoying the wip @anonopin.bsky.social show where Rob is wearing the same outfit that got Pewdiepie cancelled.

Just spent an hour carefully crafting a challenge to a parking ticket. Well, I spent fifteen minutes crafting it, then the rest of the time was spent repeatedly reading it in my head to make sure it sounded ok. Fingers crossed.

Tues / Weds this week in Tufnell Park, London. COME. Tickets here --> www.designmynight.com/london/bars/...

A neat little quiz game: Is a headline homophobia from the 80s-90s or transphobia from the 2010s-2020s? Because it's all the same bullshit, repackaged for the hate du jour haveigotphobiaforyou.com

We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

Vote Labour

OK. All done. Pedants? I'm not interested, this is MY Doctors. If you are interested in an A2 print I've decided to knock the price down so that it's £60 plus postage (assuming I get enough interest to make it worth my while) Let me know here or in DMs if you are interested. Probably print 10.

Hang on, lads. I’ve got an idea.

Picked up the sprog and her friends from their “homework club”. One of them is very polite, and normally wouldn’t say boo to a goose. As she got out the car, I said “It’s been emotional.” and she replied “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” It took me a moment before I realised she’d murdered me!

I love this one.

I'm in a queue to buy tickets at for a show that is on for two nights at a venue with a capacity of 5000. Now, I'm no mathsologist, but it's not looking good.

Happy Stupid Sexy Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands By The Perimeter Fence And Screams For Thirty Seconds Before Vanishing day to all those who celebrate it!

Anyway. Trying out a new thing next week in North London. I really want you to come. Roughly speaking you'll be submitting opinions, via form, and we'll get them all up on a screen and DEBATE THEM together. Live, interactive, and yes anon if you like (via phones) or non-anon, using your face.

Happy Fenton Day to all who celebrate. Jesus Christ, fourteen years. youtu.be/3GRSbr0EYYU

excuse me while I slip into something more comfortable

Murderer says whoever put that blood on his hands is just trying to make him look guilty

This looks good, but reading the title gave me a shiver because it's incredibly similar to what we say to each other when we walk out the door for exercise, my wife to gym class and the sprog to kickboxing.

This is like that diagram of WWII planes. People should just be walking up the sides where no one has died. Piece of piss.

Did a drawing of @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein

It’s live! Please do buy a copy if you can, I’ve put a lot of work into making it a nice object and the programs are genuinely fun and/or impressive

I got round to watching that Charli XCX video but didn't have a clue as to what was going on because I hadn't seen the previous XCIX videos.

🚀 NEW MAGAZINE ⌨️ Back in the ’80s there were printed mags of BASIC programs to type in, we’ve brought that back but for web pages! 10 amazing games, toys, puzzles and utilities, no coding knowledge needed vole.wtf/doctype/

I've said this before, they should have self-contained trilogies going forward, setting each in a different period.

The YouTube algorithm is a fickle beast but it did somehow help my silly John Lewis/Blobby video reach 26k views. Even though it is old news now, I'd still appreciate a watch/like/comment to help massage the algorithm once again!

They say the key to a successful marriage is communication. My wife is on a call. I walked in holding a potato. She nodded. I then produced, from my pockets, a tin of tuna and a tin of beans. She, again, nodded. I waggled them. She subtly pointed to the tuna. That's lunch sorted. Piece of piss.
