Wonder Man is good btw. believe the hype

HANG UP YOUR DAGGER, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE DESPAIR. AND YOU WILL WIN.

Was rather hoping February would be the month where I could *finally* start to de-stress after more than two years of it, but nope. Something new to be worried about. Awesome.

Look at this otter enjoying his best life :)

if you see someone that needs help, fucking help them

Me, to wife returning from dog walk: Hey, you know how when you left to walk the dog we had a certain number of blue soup-bowls and I *wasn't* bleeding? Well, guess what! Wife: *pinches bridge of nose* I was ten minutes, I swear to Zod...

my timeline is equally split between this being the greatest thing they have ever seen or the worst I feel like as a fashion-blind straight dude I am completely unqualified to have an opinion on the matter

The USA is a country where they shoot their own citizens, arrest protesters, arrest journalists, and round people up if they look foreign. Why anyone is still visiting, for sport, holidays, or otherwise, I don’t know. #BoycottTheUSA Do not give them your holiday dollars.

In my shame I turn to you, knowing nobody is obliged to help out. You all have your own problems. If you can’t, feel no guilt at all for that. I know full well how rough it is out there.

Fire lit. Dog snoring. Glass of something toxic. Scribbling my nonsense in Libre. Sister Boniface dialed up on iPlayer. As pleasant evening go, I'll take it.

It's time that the US Joint Chiefs of Staff made a move: liquidate the President and VP, suspend the Constitution and hand power to a bipartisan administration with the aim of restoring democracy, freedom and sanity to the United States. And, that way, avoid a civil war.

Published a year ago today. No cozy, no cutesy, no romantasy. No thorns, no thrones, no roses, no TikTok. And absolutely no fucking AI. Just one old biker, a load of psychotropics, and a derelict fantasy world, lost to madness. Cover by @tomsbrown.bsky.social www.amazon.co.uk/Lugan-Vision...

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. "He spread his arms out on her shoulders, and her dress pooled around her like rose petals in a summer frost..." Wait...this isn't 'How To Land An A330 Airbus by James May'! WRONG BOOK! WRONG BOOK!

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Godsdammit, this is the second day running I’ve woken up feeling so sad I’m practically in tears. Wish I could remember my dreams, my brain is clearly processing *something*. Heads be weird. Coffee.

A mate of mine suddenly and unexpectedly died a few days ago, and someone just shared this poem in the group chat which really hits hard.

Happy birthday to the great and indefatigable Tom Baker.

Another tip, for those of you who have websites with links and multiple pages: set those so they open in a new tab, rather than the current page, because it's better to have readers stay at your main page rather than send them away entirely.

I really need to re-watch the BBC series 'Coupling'. It was just so good.

TIMELINE CLEANSE When's a time that a stranger helped you in an unexpected, maybe even small way?

@womensartbluesky.bsky.social Just saw that Storm-over-Porty picture. Lovely. And here's one of the last photos I took when I lived there (or close - Prestonpans) This was taken at Longniddry Bents 1:

You’ll see a lot of posts today about #BlueMonday, supposedly 'the most depressing day of the year'. Don't buy into it. There’s zero scientific evidence behind it – it was invented in 2005 as a marketing stunt to sell holidays. 🧵

Oof, right in the gut

As Pratchett said:

DOUBLE ZX81 repair! Both showing the same fault, but does that mean it's the same problem? In such a simple machine probably yes.

New round of young Instagram ladies, who must live in very warm homes/climates by their absence of garments, looking for a Sugar Momma. If you need me, I'll be spending my weekend sending them my monies, in return for all the pretty pictures they're going to post. What can go wrong?

“Thanks, man. Where was I? Oh yeah, so it was December, and I just wanted to get out of the cold. I knocked on some random guy's door. I’m tellin’ ya, dude was out of his friggin' mind! He kept asking me a bunch of super weird questions and whining about some chick named Lenore."

Been watching 'Midnight Diner' on Netflix. It's rather charming. The first few episodes go a bit dark, but overall I like it. Could use a DVD/Bluray release.

“Ah good, you’re awake. Please don’t bother trying to move. Now, I just have a couple of questions for you. If you answer truthfully, this can all be over quickly, but if I think you’re lying, I will introduce you to my friend Klaus over there, and trust me, you don’t want that.”

“Dear?” I call. “Yes?” I gesture. “I’ve got wood!” You look at me. “I’m adding ‘jokes’ to the list of things you’re not allowed to do. That was fucking awful.” “Sorry.” “So you should be.”

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Watched 'A Murder at the End of the World'. It's mostly okay. Goes on a bit, doesn't explore bits it should have, but a bit towards the end triggered me. I'm paraphrasing slightly, but: two characters, both 'hackers':

Version 2 of my Commodore 64 Ultimate Starlight keyboard brace is out. I have increased thickness from 17.5 to 19mm based off feedback and it now makes solid contact and keeps the keyboard from bending. Like and repost! Get it here: www.printables.com/model/152480...

Something I didn't mention in the Robin of Sherwood piece: Mark Ryan (Nasir) co-wrote the Green Arrow 50th anniversary annual with Mike Mike Grell and Shea Anton Pensa. In that, he has Black Canary time warp back into Marion's body. So he's always argued that Robin of Sherwood is official DC Canon!

JUDGE: how does your client plead MY LAWYER: like a whiny little bitch your honor ME: hey quit it i do not JUDGE: whoa i see what you mean counselor MY LAWYER: right? so annoying

The Wife just asked me never to get a pacemaker, or if I must then make it a clockwork one so it cant be interfered with wirelessly. I claimed it was just so she could wind me up even more and, long story short, I’m on the couch tonight…🫤
