Earlier: RIGHT. This is going to be a full-on work day, no slacking! *eats an entire bag of Tesco choc-chip madeleines, play-wrestles with parrot while listening to prog rock*

Oh my GOD outside my kitchen window keeping cool in the heatwave LOOK (I didn’t even know we had grey partridges in the neighbourhood: feels like finding a unicorn in the garage)

The Vatican went and made infographics for the encyclical 👍

ja fragt euch mal

Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.

Village tea party core

Make. This. Go. Viral.

We’re in the middle of nothing less than a war on reality.

Unsure which is more surprising, the fact that Finland had a pop magazine called STUMP or that the Fast Show's Jazz Club presenter (you know, the one who says "niiice!!") appears to have actually existed

I made this sticker cost $1. I have too many of them. nobodyssweetheart.bigcartel.com/product/stop...

A re-edit of one my favourite shots from the other day.

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

Weak coffee is called nærbuxnavatn in Icelandic, meaning underwear water.

Thank you postman (and @paglen.studio) so so psyched

Imagine being stressed out about life and the state of the world and then you walk outside to clear your head and see this

Experiencing disappointment so strongly I feel nauseated

If you are interested in learning to identify the UKs ground beetles there are free guides to download on my website johnwalters.co.uk/publications...

"looks like somebody has already been digging here"

Oh my god

STOP PRESS yesterday @sinblache.bsky.social described Tarkovsky’s STALKER as “The Detectorists, but Russian” and I may never recover

Never feel guilty for borrowing books from a library. Authors LOVE libraries. And libraries pay authors a small sum every time one of their books is borrowed (which in many cases comes to more than the percentage earned from the sale of a book in a discount outlet)...

With the right sunset, flowering field beans can look deeply ominous

Who let him watch Ender’s Game?

I heard an AI tech entrepreneur give a talk a few months ago and was astonished how dumb it was. Genuinely alarming levels of Not Getting Both It And Everything Else.

I’m so enjoying these.

you think you got bars but you will never produce a bar like the old lady next door who just turned to her 40 something yr old son who was trying to interrupt and in Punjabi said " son, when I want your opinion I will tell you what to say"

I'm not saying I'm hormonal but this just made me cry

Accidental fair

This is what will kill AI. As soon as the AI companies stop subsidising themselves with spec money, and it becomes clear what doing mundane office tasks badly really costs, nobody will want to use it. And then the servers switch off. And it goes away. Lovely. BYE!

Homer: And then Odysseus arrived on an island where everyone’s butt was a head and their head was a butt Online guy complaining 3,000 years later: I am offended by this movie’s historical inaccuracies

Yes

Dreamed it happened! Also dreamed that a local farm suffered an outbreak of golden marmosets in the field corn. Less upset the latter’s not true.

One of those “road men” we’ve heard so much about.

Stop! It is necessary for you to see graphic designer extraordinaire Margaret Calvert’s 90th birthday cake. Perfection.

Look, @sinblache.bsky.social Holly has discovered our terrible men

Making a note to use THETFORD FEDEX as a character name in future fiction while deeply resenting having to travel to Thetford Fedex at all

Great big and detailed dream about visiting - with a group - a vast reservoir. We were taken into the towering stentorian rooms. And then somebody began tossing people into a void. I think this is all because the last TV show before bed was Andrew Graham-Dixon talking about Scandinavia art.

too many stupid people have money; that's why I'm launching protein cigarettes

When I'm waiting for stuff to mix down or render I sometimes go on the Internet Archive and look up kitchen / bathroom design inspiration books from the early '80s. I have faint memories of things like this from when I was very little but in fairness I might be remembering bad Doom texture maps

Can someone help? I've jetlag brain and I'm trying to think of the correct way to describe the feeling known commonly as "going crazy" when, e.g. no-one can see the thing you are clearly seeing, or when you're being gaslit and everyone around you falls for it.

Big tech corporations have finally figured out who is to blame for their crappy products: science fiction writers.

Oh, Time, Strength, Cash, and Patience!
