This year I am getting my beloved 1980s Playmobil figurines and assorted compatible furniture down from the loft and making them little homes to live in on display. I hauled them over here from Australia, they should get to live again. I’m 45 and no one can tell me no.

IF THE SHOE FITS

Justice Brett Kavanaugh isn’t happy that his name has become synonymous w/racist immigration enforcement.

ICE’s policy of detaining people based on ethnicity is called a “Kavanaugh stop,” named after his ruling that allows it. He’s afraid the name will ruin his “legacy.” Too late!

Heh.

Random person followed me; I looked at their timeline and it was mostly links to their blog posts with dodgy-looking header images. I replied to one asking if the image was AI, and looked back a few minutes later to find myself blocked.

I guess that’s an answer…

In my archaeology days, worked for an enviro firm downstairs from two radio stations. Came back to the office covered in mud after a dig. Got into the lift in the staff car park; on its way up it stopped at the public car park and Australian comedian Frank Woodley got in with his guitar.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.

The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Some of you will believe any horrific allegation about our president merely because it's fully consistent with who he is

Whinge incoming… I have malfunctioning Eustachian tubes after a heavy cold and they are driving me *nuts*. For three days my right ear felt full of water, occasionally popping painfully with a range of internal squeaks. It finally settled down today but now the left one is ticking like a clock. 😭

My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”

Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

I got a christmas card this year from a graphic designer I know who makes money, and it was the piss filter ghibli style AI. He told me it took him "about half a day".

Last year the card he made by hand took 2-3 hours. When I pointed this out he said "Huh" as if he hadn't thought of that fact.

Imagining what it would be like if it was treated as newsworthy every time my parents thought I made a bad decision.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."
