A fantastic cause.

Yes, New Model Army were epic in Edinburgh on Saturday night. Have you seen them on this tour?

MON DIEU!

I got let loose on Saturday to spin some tunes to some non-Virtual Goths! It's all a blur now, but to keep up with my IRL event shizz, go follow Auldernative! Links etc at Auldernative.com

Today's entertainment...

Who made this 😂

Tonight's @virtualgothnight.bsky.social is going to be fun - I've got DOMS in my shoulders and arms from playing VR! Expect lots of low, slow arm movements 🤣 Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be worse next week...

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

All this bullshit around the world right now is happening because literally just a HANDFUL of motherfuckers are trying to avoid justice & reckoning for their previous crimes. We COULD have a decent world. We COULD make things better. We are able to do that. And these selfish fucks won’t let us.

It's a joke with a swear in it. That's going right into my limited long term memory. #meme #seal #cuss

If anyone knows a power-player at Greggs Bakery in the UK, let me know, cause I'm after a McDonald's style movie tie-in for ROGUE TROOPER. 😂👍

Recently discovered one of my best friends has multiple group chats with just her and her husband, named e.g. "Meals for the week". This has been a game changer.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Playing Elite in the 80s, I picked up a canister of slaves. Once I arrived at the space station, I found I couldn't free the slaves, only sell them. As a child, I found the idea distressing and I couldn't keep playing. As an adult, I feel a bit silly but I still can't play it.

The movie that changed the world. The scene that changed us all. 48 years ago today. ✨ #StarWars

Or not. The Leafs, once again, have lost to their biggest enemy: themselves.

Trump vs. Trump… amazing…

I was completely convinced the Leafs 🍁 were being eliminated tonight after their game 5 performance. An incredibly competitive game, and really happy to see them take the W. Hoping they can keep up the intensity for game 7 on Sunday night, and we can all put gm 5 behind us.

Off to see the Pixies at the big house tonight. This is my face before discovering the drink prices are Gigantic... We think this is our first non-festival gig of the year - have you managed to see many great bands locally?

So pleased we’ve identified foreign carehome workers who do the toughest jobs for fuck all money as the big problem with the country. Was worried it might be someone else.

Mistakes have been made. Thanks @snipe.lol

My usual trick is turning off the TV when it's stupidly late and the Leafs are losing, only to wake up and discover they staged an epic comeback I totally missed. Didn't work last night.

…

Ah yes - back on it again, after last week's shenanigans...

Recently I found myself on Antipope Instagram, where there are endless reels of the current Antipope of the Palmarian Catholic Church. This is, of course, extremely my jam, and I started reading up on them hoping to find some wild theology, but instead I found something WAY better...

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there. (Credit to @kazhawa.bsky.social.) www.voanews.com/amp/uk-issue...

Have to stop watching the game. Otherwise I'm gonna lose hope.

😭

At some point this week, I will post about Resistanz. Until then...

Ok, the CVE Foundation have a year to work out how the hell to manage CVEs in a way not reliant on funding from a bipolar US government. So much in a solid approach to security relies on the CVE database! www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

This was very much a spur of the moment, unplanned, and never before considered mashup. Every time I try to recreate an on the fly mashup on the fly it never quite seems to work. Spontaneity only - No planning! 🤣

Photography Puffin. Wee wander round The Bullers of Buchan tonight with @shufflinpuffin.bsky.social

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

And now my browser is judging me. Thanks Brave.

America. Fuck yeah. youtu.be/-81WdyD-8Ro?...

I had a plan. Not a great plan, but a plan nonetheless. It was this: Get up early this week - before 7am. I need to be up early a couple of days. "Conditioning" seemed like a great idea. So of course I was woken by a skulk of screaming foxes and have been awake since about 3am.

This is probably getting trashed. To be replaced by something else I've just thought of. Maybe two something elses.

This weather is shit.

But will I finish it to my satisfaction before Resistanz? 🤔

The amount of times I've seen people at conferences stand up and ask a question, but it's actually a thinly disguised rambling sale pitch to the rest of the audience!

Keep Trump out of Parliament. actionstorm.org/petitions/du... #DumpTrump

I've tried to print an A4 poster/flyer pdf for an event FIVE TIMES. Every time theres something different wrong with the position on the printed page or the edges have been clipped. 😐

Major trauma this afternoon. Not sure if I'll ever get over having a cull of my extensive (and well past their dates) collection of teas. 😐

Good people make rules for people with morals to follow. People without morals play by their own rules.

I can't believe it's 2025 and we're still embracing "turn all your employees into infallible cybersecurity experts who can reliably identify 'suspicious links'" as a cybersecurity control. If a single employee clicking a link can bring down your entire org, you never had cybersecurity to begin with.

Yep. 😐
