So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

Make a Bond movie casual: The man with the steel gun

An instant new christmas tradition was born: putting ham on the dog without her noticing We genuinely expected her to be more ham-aware than this 😅

Phone edits. Really happy with this. I was thinking about how I haven't had much gosling blep content this year so I was focused on them foraging but I can't say no to a good napping baby bird!

Claim this for free, then buy their new game Promise Mascot Agency which is up there for my favourite games of the year.

With Hogwarts Legacy being free on Epic: We know from the Epic lawsuit that they pay upfront for free games, and the number of redemptions is what they use to determine the value for money on them The fewer people claim it, the more Epic paid for each copy, the more it hurts the HP brand

It unsealed all of its own tape and now refuses to let any future tape adhere! Your science knows no bounds 😅

I'm so bad at wrapping presents that I've managed to curse a present so @paljus.me can't re-wrap it successfully.

Watching Clash of the Comics, and spotted the seats I was meant to be in. Oof.

@jlukeroberts.bsky.social Do you know when the recordings of the shows you did last year are likely to be released on Go Faster Stripe/wherever they're going to be released?

Thank you audiobook website that definitely doesn't have an ulterior motive. (I do absolutely agree with this though, and have got through so many audiobooks this year)

Not retail, but when I worked in the anatomy department, I got a call from a young guy Me: "Hello, Anatomy department" Him: "My mother just died, you want her?" "...sorry?" "She's dead. Do you want me to drop her off?" "...I'm afraid you can't donate *other people's* bodies" "FINE!" [Click]

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Man, I fucking love Lorwyn. I wish Wales was real.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

"be gay, do crimes" and it's telemarketing fraud

Finally sitting down to read @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social 's beautiful book.

I started playing Arena this morning, and thought huh, this start looks familiar. Used a deep-cavern bat on their hand, and yep, @saffronolive.bsky.social has created a monster. It's a 20 shrine deck.

how can we keep calm and carry on now

First they came for the queers, and you didn't know it because we're not in the poem

When I first woke up to Ed's head sticking out from under my bed I thought hmm, this might be a bit much. After it happened eevrt day for a week. I came to understand the wisdom of it.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

1/ Why I sometimes ignore Nature Methods papers when picking bioinformatics tools. A practical guide to choosing tools that actually work.

I'm glad it brought her joy, but giving Lexi an ostrich steak has made her noxious.

@ianmcque.bsky.social Is there anywhere I can order Mileships from, or not atm?

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: My Chemical Romance The National Jonathan Coulton The World is a Beautiful Place and I am no longer Afraid to Die Cosmo Sheldrake

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

heheheheh

Yeehaw

Promise Mascot Agency

Someone told me I have alexithymia and I can’t tell you how that makes me feel

I've posted all my main sona images. I may post my stickers at some point, but will probably do a few at a time. Until then, this is my pfp everywhere I don't use my sona.

Day 4 of posting the art of my sona. Today it's the gorgeous cult of the lamb art I had done. I don't know the artist's bsky sadly.

I say this with empathy toward every struggling actor who is just trying to make due: Providing your voice for A.I. undermines everyone in the industry. It is a net negative, that will only make it harder for you and everyone else down the line. It. Is. Wrong.

It was a blast getting to draw this dude! I've always had a soft spot for dragons

Day 3 of posting my sona art. This is my pfp. I love it so much. @kaladania.bsky.social did such a good job. I love it and use it everywhere!

From Children Of Memory, by @aptshadow.bsky.social

Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success. Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them. Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

Day two of posting my sona pictures. @keidaarts.bsky.social did a great job on this pfp! It isn't the main one I use, but still so good. (Redoing this because I forgot alt text)

I don't know why, but I always hear one of the lyrics in Cigarette Daydreams as "You can dry heave, all night" which would be a weird lyric but would also fit the song.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

I made a thing. On an unrelated note, I eated too much.

Packing the essentials for #DesertBus2025

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported. www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/

Realised I don't have pictures of my sona easily accessible on my profile courtesy of @konaburd.bsky.social so I'll start posting. Starting with the first one I had done. I've definitely started going a bit chunkier since this first one, but it set the direction.

Here's a massive scoop from Ed showing OpenAI has been lying about their revenue for years

Even on projects that don’t feature AI, it’s often difficult to justify how little voice actors get paid for work on projects that sell in the millions So it’s fascinating to see folks say “they were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

@edzitron.com have you seen this? The UK government continues to be run by clowns. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

no quote about the US political system has ever gone harder than this one
