Rewatching "American Graffiti". Just noticed a little reference to one of Lucas' earlier movies.

They have real trolls in Norway, you know. youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?...

My heart pumps puddles of purple piss for the poor plutocrats. You know it does. It really does.

A fitting tribute which cracked a smile on my sullen mug. Rest in peace, Rob Grant. ❤️😢

Messing about with some musical generative algorithm tools resulted in this abomination emerging with very little effort on my part except for burning half a rainforest and draining lake Baikal. I will endeavour to make amends for these misdeeds. soundcloud.com/macknobody/a...

Improvements in charge capacity make sodium-ion battery tech likely to surpass lithium as preferred energy storage medium. Probable added benefit is fresh water. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

So, Arendt's "Origins of Totalitarianism" is being used as a playbook now?

I'm a bit freaked out cos earlier I heard a song on the radio which I said reminded me of "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk, then another like Giorgio Moroder. Rolled the dice as we do, to pick an evening movie and it comes up with "Electric Dreams" 1984.

We're cutting all the red tape which holds us in oppressive bondage!

I have a feeling that regular engagement with simple, little positive things gradually steers my perception in a more helpful direction. This article seems like a succinct reflection of my own findings. theconversation.com/forget-grand... #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Positivity #Perception #Meaning

Study suggests that getting your body accustomed to 30 second sprints can help to control panic attack symptoms. I like the disclaimer at the end: "Oh, but don't do this if your heart is on the wonk cos it'll likely kill you, m'kay." www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/the-...

Figuring out a model for a stochastically flat D16 / hexadecimal dice. Truncated sphere with face positions calculated from minimum energy surface-confined electrostatic repulsion. Some functional compromises needed, but probably okay. #Dice #Randomness #Chance #TTRPG #3DModelling #Hexadecimal

Back in the nineties, I saw the Fugees and the BeeGees with squeegies in Fiji at CBGBs. Or was that just a Two Ronnies sketch? #CantRemember #SeniorMoment #RidiculousPhrases

I canceled prime ages ago and now make every effort to shop elsewhere whenever possible. Useful tip. Find the item you’re looking for on Amazon then use search engines to find it for sale elsewhere and buy from those other vendors. For books, bookshop.org or even better buy used.

I was a little excited to see "Look Around You" listed on Tubi but it's showing as unavailable 😢 Thanks Tubi. Thubi tubitv.com/series/30001...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Looking at an SD card storage solution for my BBC Master (checking out the SD2BBC from @futurewas8bit.bsky.social ), & taking a detour into some graphics software along the way. AMX Art anyone? 🤔 Join me for another outing of the BBC Master. youtu.be/bh2qNthmzEU #retrocomputing #bbcmicrocomputer

Every living thing has its own Church. It has its own way of connecting with the divine. This is not a matter which can be reasoned with or dictated to. To try is an invitation to conflict. #religion #spirituality #philosophy #being

Nice new pen. MoonMan C1. Colossal ink reservoir capacity. I just hope it won't leak. Was hoping for a nice new perspective too. Guess we can't have everything we want. Ah well. #FountainPen #PensAreFriends

Here's all 8 pages of CO2 Newsletter Vol 1 no 1 (Oct 1979) Geologist William N. Barbat published the Newsletter for 3 years (18 issues). They are incredible - detailed, precise and, ultimately, heart-breaking because they reveal how much was known, how many warnings were ignored. 1/8

Wise words which we would all do well to heed.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Watched "Sleeping with the Enemy" last night and now I'm wondering at what point in the relationship did he start using Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique for their sexy-time music. Did it start as an ironic joke or what?
