Happy new year! Brand new cycle! Smell that? New! Ignore solar orbit reuse. Perfectly legal. No refunds! LOOK, FIREWORKS!

Pretty sure the entire concept of generations was invented by baby boomers to annoy their children…

Germany deserves more respect for half a century of absolutely banging dance music. :)

Everyone wish @flackoweasel.bsky.social a happy birthday. They are a fantastic crazy weasel person and a friend to birds everywhere.

Mini T-rex update. Combining the very latest in light operetta and Paleontology. youtube.com/shorts/ctsGN...

Our of work animators now make up enough of the population that this savage 'bouncing ball' joke is now mainstream. *The audience clutches their Preston Blair books*

Pssst... Dogpile. Someone finally added extra mechanics to suika game :) youtu.be/0vX6nnTDwJo?...

Modern AI is a meaningless marketing term. You can 'Oppose AI' with ever stronger language, but all that energy is going into a meaningless black hole. Be specific. Oppose AI surveillance. Oppose 'Predictive policing'. Highlight the erosion of truth. Push for regulation.

I remember academics in the 90s saying that the Internet could lead to an invisible and irreversible loss of liberty. And pretty much everything they said turned out to be correct. And yet here I am, a creature of the Internet. Basking in it’s benefits and trying not to think of what was lost.

Looks like I've managed to get Christmas cards received down to zero! Huzzah! Thanks to everyone who asked if I wanted a card first, and the good grace with which they accepted my emphatic NO. :)

Social media doesn't do positive action, does it? Highlight and rage at a biggot and you'll get plenty likes and reposts. 'Yeah, screw that guy!' Highlight how much you love someone from the targeted group and you don't get much response 'Yeah, nice you like a thing I guess..'

No offence to the Gameboy music, but the Tetris soundtrack of my childhood was this whole 25 minute, prog rock, chip tune epic type thing... youtu.be/Ny743c32gPg?...

New Weasel just dropped www.earth.com/news/routine...

Heaven knows USA people are under a lot of stress. But I do wish some would learn the difference between ‘fighting the power’ and ‘ripping shit out of friends and allies for even the slightest moral compromise’* (*Such as a friend of mine saying they liked Universal theme parks)

The local shop has a display of "Mustela" brand moisturizer. This makes sense because "Mustela" is, of course, Latin for weasel. I assume 'Weaselgrease' was already trademarked.

Holy shit, Netflix bought Cartoon Network... And DC comics.. And Warner brothers... And HBO... Actually it's kind of mind boggling all the IP Netflix just got in one deal...

Working on my taxes. Running about 10 minutes actual paying attention per hour. As always, it's like trying to heard cats with a wet noodle. Why is my brain like this? :P

On this blackfridaysmass eve, let us, the British public, take a moment to be thankful we don't live in the USA. Happy life day, one and all! :)

After two hours search, I finally found where I left my headphones when the doorbell rang…

We ask ourselves, what will the entertainment of the future look like? youtu.be/nv4FdasmmCU?...

People pointing out the similarities in specification between the Steam Frame and the Meta Quest 3 are overlooking A few things: PC compatibility brings a greater range of software No Meta account needed Foveated rendering and streaming is a big deal No Meta account needed No Meta account needed

Is it 'unreasonabley british' to be annoyed at an app asking "Are you enjoying Outlook?" They have a monopoly on a 15 year old email address, they advertise and upsell on me every chance. And now I'm supposed to enjoy myself? They can go fuck themselves. I have been told this might be cultural...

Fatkraken is a fantastic artist and fursuit maker, looking to get back into the furry community. I figured their tiger deserves a repost, with the appropriate tags. #fursuit #FursuitFriday So say hi, follow, and otherwise co-mingle :)

Happy Halloween, to those who celebrate... youtu.be/kYFFkcuCuoc?...

One thing I love about Bluesky is the easy reposting and chatter back and forth between the Anime girl avatars and the Furry avatars. Anime girls are cool. They go about their lives completely unphased by the animal people serving them coffee and yapping about philosophy.

But wait, what if we could make browsing 50 year old computer magazines EVEN MORE geeky? byte.tsundoku.io (Zoom in and pan around)

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes! Continued existence proves most agreeable :)

The latest Tiny desk concert is full of silly puppets and irrational exuberance. youtu.be/UEqTIwRrWvA?...

A very quiet and stealthy happy birthday to @starfurydog.bsky.social If you see their tail poking out of a bush, be sure to give it a birthday hug.

Today I learnt that Cadbury used to sell a single chocolate bar with 14 different flavours. But what I'm sure will keep me up at night is what the hell is with the "Pineapple flavour desert"- flavour?

A fantastic anthem for being tired and middle aged during the biggest artistic upheaval in over a century.

That's my 3D modeling playlist for the day sorted. 'Slight unease/discomfort, and personal computer optimism' is my jam.

This morning, my brain has mostly been filled with this mysterious pinnipeidal earworm... youtu.be/5VDg9Gj0Uj4?...

Being self employed, I genuinely cherish times I can just work for hours and not have to think.

Feels like a great day to mention that Kae Tempest is a fiercely good artist. Not afraid to rap about being transgender. youtu.be/GASp_weDBeY?...

When I say 'I love technology', people think I mean I like smart phones or something... But, actually, I'm just uncomprehendingly gawping at youtube videos on industrial crystallography.

Shout out to all you Algebra Dragons! You make modern life possible.

I WANT MY VOLE TV vole.wtf/vtv/

It's this week that tariffs in the USA hit little stuff like I sell, and wow, what a mess. It's an astounding, unbelievable trainwreck It's so bad that global postal services are not sending parcels to the USA, because they have no confidence they won't disappear for months on end. I'm in awe..

Just gonna state the obvious. Hate isn't a good thing. Even if you feel hate for horrible hateful people, who obviously deserve it - Don't celebrate your hatred. Because hate will genuinely fuck you up.

Posted for no better reason than it made me happy... youtu.be/vaG5tVnpkwc?...

AI research spent 30 years building ethics committees and complicated safeguards to prevent the current state of affairs. It took about 12 months for the money to completely defeat them. 18 months on from that, and the AI business is synonymous with amorality In people's minds.

I got accused of being an AI last night - or at least running all my messages through an LLM. Apparently, real people don’t use words like 'fruition' or punctuate with a dash. I honestly don’t know what to say. I did A-level English literature, I like words. What do you want from me? :P

No cheating, post your lock screen.

Existentialism! It's not all about existential horror ya know! There's a whole fun part where you get to create your own meaning in the world.

I'd be exited for a new NIN album, but hearing the preview track, I find myself hoping the new Tron soundtrack isn't just all a new NIN album.

Why do I always agree to make stuff that'll take bloody ages :p

I think about this short a lot. The concept, logic and execution mesh together so perfectly. youtu.be/78XR2yA55Ao&...
