I named my fists Nobby and Sergeant Colon because they're not much use in a fight and prefer to stay somewhere warm out of the cold and rain

sighing heavily albeit happily as yet more EBM gets added to the bandcamp wishlist

Went to a cheap carvery for a work Christmas lunch. I did not establish in advance what my co-workers considered to be a normal amount of roast potato, and there was an audible gasp when I returned with my plate.

the other mustache dad at kindergarten drop off shaved his mustache. while this does leave me as the undisputed king, I can't help but feel like something more important was lost

going into the office on a different day to usual this week* and this means the tram has different people on it, not the commuters I usually see. This is WEIRD and UNSETTLING *because we're going to a carvery later for a low-key team Christmas lunch

🍄 LIVE AND DRINK 💧 Just about 12 hours left to nominate us for some Steam Awards, all of which we're eligible for due to releasing less than a year ago

Feel like fashion is finally catching up with Danny Glovers enormous trousers in Predator 2.

what's a good emotion to have for a beginner

I think it's a little funny that billionaires destroyed the world so they could keep us all under surveillance 24/7 and now we're all too broke to do much and mostly just sit around at home

The best sex of my life was with a guy who looked like a hobbit. Short, stacked and fucked like a train. Not been able to watch Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit since without blushing.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Volume up if you want to hear cat snores

Christmas at the BBC

(watching Stranger Things) Me: they're in the Upside Down Lady Companion: Me: where the cakes come from Lady Companion: Me: upside down cakes Lady Companion: Me: I said Lady Companion: I heard.

when you're mean to me, this is who you're being mean to (from here www.instagram.com/p/DQz3tz3DzM...)

my hottest take about industrial/EBM/call it whatever is that any discussions should be rigidly split into 1994 or earlier / post 1994 channels so that people who just want to discuss the glory days of Puppy, 242, FLA, Ministry etc and rank their albums over and over can do so separately

good news: I managed to somehow find the strength to avoid posting about a semi-obscure thing I know about even though I REALLY WANTED TO because a) it would make me sound weird and b) it would involve posting somewhere I only lurk with that temptation resisted, I shall rest easy tonight

This was our son’s first, almost 3 years ago. No full tree since then.

What a great headline

I'm not mad that "next day delivery" didn't specify dispatch date so it's next day delivery maybe next week perhaps? Or whenever they get round to sending stuff Sure I won't order from that place again, but it's a funny enough move that I'm surprised I've not seen more companies try it

I'm glad Sugababes and Sophie Ellis-Bextor are Clearly Alright but uh, any ideas why fighting back against fear and exclusion is needed, The Guardian? Any thoughts there? About why hatred is ramping up? Any at all? Perhaps one to ponder? Take your time. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

OK bad stuff happened to me as a kid so now getting me off is as involved and exhausting as setting up the board game Mousetrap

every time I see artists/labels I would otherwise be interested in using genAI cover art, it's like okay - if you do that, why should I trust your music, your lyrics, anything else about you?

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Anyway, congrats on your Thanksgiving dinner, America. In Britain we have that every weekend but crack on.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: -Vengaboys -Helen Love -Taylor Swift -Test Dept -Laibach

hehe drew this for a throwaway joke in a larp chat but I kinda like the little guy

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

for the incredibly limited group of people that follow me and like powernoise or industrial techno or some other kind of pounding in your face beats, you should totally get up on this Indonesian hotness logiclost.bandcamp.com/album/dispos...

Telling my future cats this was Einstürzende Neubauten 😼 #industrialmusic

Thanksgiving dinner is usually a long, exhausting affair with endless food and boring, unfocused conversation. Skip it this year in favor of a single bowl of Soylent for the table and a lightning round where each family member pitches an idea for disrupting an established industry with AI

I would probably not pay £5.5bn for an AFV that Havana Syndromes the people inside it but I'm not the MoD www.forcesnews.com/services/arm...

I hate the word "neurospicy" as much as I hate "holibobs" and "amazeballs"

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

[extremely Cave Johnson voice] those eggheads at NASA want a RELATIONSHIP? I'll give them a relationship! Hey, space-nerds, the Air Force has got MISSILES and SPACE PLANES so if you don't like it I'm going to take those missiles and blow up your scientific satellites, how's that for a relationship?

external CD drive is making some Distressing Noises but I'm ripping 00s rhythmic noise so maybe it's just getting into the spirit of the thing

if what you're doing can be done by genai its not worth doing

(this is not meant to be slating the NHS, I know things are beyond fucked) GP surgery: do you need an urgent appointment or one in a month or so? me: I have no idea because I'm not a doctor GP surgery: lmao they're all gone anyway, try another day

If the entire UK gambing industry lost their jobs, that still would not be enough for me. They shouldn't just lose their jobs, they should lose _everything_ imo
