In my teens - I will be famous! In my 20s - I will be rich! In my 30s - I will be happy. In my 40s - I will get a good night's sleep. In my 50s - I will grow a carrot.

Man, I Love David Attenborough, but I can't deal with another beautiful documentary series about how badly we're fucking up. I can feel his deep and disappointed scowl.

I understand that games and books must advertise themselves before I can buy them. I get it. Pre-orders etc. But also I yell "Fuck you!" out loud when I see an ad for a thing I love only to find out it's coming in 3 or 6 or 8 fucking months. I love you, unobtainable media. But I also hate you.

That's some damn fine eating acorns right there. @loukas.bsky.social knows what I'm talking about.

Oh shit there's blood in my ... ah. Beetroot.

It's a great question, and you are right to be curious. Let's dive right in!

The distance between how cool AI bros think they are and how pathetic the rest of us think they are is unfathomably vast, and growing. Maybe a few of them will fall into it...

I made butter! It was easy! And tasty! Using cheap cream from the soon-out-of-date shelf in the shop. Win-win. Win.

I did a stand-up course a couple of weeks ago and while it was excellent we learned basically nothing about standing.

We need a new "Are you are robot?" to prevent AI bots from scraping our websites. Perhaps require visitors to write a LinekdIn post that isn't incredibly fucking boring.

If you want to know what working in IT is like in 2026 picture the most boring people in your company saying the word "agentic" over and over until the end of time.

He looks like a dead body on the Expanse that's stuck to the hull by its magboots.

Narrative designers! Writers! Your dream gig is here!

If I ever use AI to write my "farewell and thanks" post when I leave a job, you have my permission to shoot me.

I am a happy middle-aged man after discovering this browsable database of every single well in Sweden including stats on depth, lining, year, and much more. Joy! apps.sgu.se/kartvisare/k...

The new "My hovercraft is full of eels".

Stop thinking about the train-wreck that is Swedish politics for a minute and enjoy the cosmic madness of Henge: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Dvi...

I'll dive into this. Hope I'm tagging correctly. My poem for #PoemsAbout #DeadLetters Ping to @thebrokenspine.co.uk

I live close enough to work that I can walk there through the woods. It has its moments.

I just realised I don't give the slightest shit what anyone's subway take is.

The real victim in the whole Macklemore situation is of course the millionaire whose friends were mean to him.

I don't know how people manage to read AI-written posts. My eyes and mind glaze over the moment I see there's no human intention behind the text, that it was assembled by the most-likely-word machine. Stop, people. I know it FEELS like writing, but it isn't. Just say what you want to say. In words.

Swedish populists: "Immigrants need to integrate!" Immigrants go to vote in large numbers. Swedish populists: "No, that's too much integrating!"

A walk of many mushrooms.

I loved the World War Z movie. I re-watched it yesterday since I've seen loads of people saying it was shit, just to check. No, still great. I suspect those people were mostly "THE BOOK WAS SO MUCH BETTER" people. Obviously Israel being nice to Arabs was unbelievable, but otherwise it was solid.

Is there anything to be said for having a raffle?

I'm sure Musk could provide a backing band of shit robots for Sheeran. Just gotta ask.

If I knew any Sheeran songs I'd do a clever pun. But I don't know a single fucking one.

Fucking hell, how many openers did Sheeran HAVE on that tour?

With apologies to actual hard-working clowns ...

On the plus side, I now have a legitimate reason to hate Ed fucking Sheeran, and wow am I going to use it.

McConnell is not dead. Count me quite surprised. Could be animatronic, though ...

Bit of an annoying result in the Swedish election but bright points are that the ruling alliance appears to have lost their majority and the populist nationalist anti-science angry man's moron party Swedish Democrats dropped from over 20% to 17.7% (ish). So fuck them, the brown-shirted fucks.

In my job as a tech writer I am so sick of subject matter experts sending me AI-made articles. Even badly phrased, poorly constructed, mumbly human-made drivel is better, since I know there's intention behind it, and I can dig it out. An AI article is teflon garbage. A glacier of nothingness.

A family member is part of the team that just released this indie game on Steam. It's a cosy fun time with very quirky humour. Well worth your tenner! #nothingStrangeHere store.steampowered.com/app/3664070/...

"People will watch any old crap on social media but they won't stay for just 30 seconds to appreciate my real and heartfelt-" Sorry mate, I had a cat video to watch.

Do I like getting followers? Yes. Will I block anyone who follows me who is clearly selling something / an OF girl / an AI pusher / has zero posts? Also yes.

The BLAAAAARP has sounded This time along with the BLEEEEEEP And too much silence

When Two Thai Take Away A pad is all that you can score

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Amazing how a presentation from a "wellness expert" can leave some of us gasping at the sheer awfulness of the bullshit and multiple scientific errors and lies on display, but leave others in the same room thinking, wow, that was a fantastic talk, I must take this man's advice!

I love me a hardcore physics cartoon.
