TIL The Muppets are canon to Meet the Feebles.

I... need to unpack the full implications of this.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.

They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Just had an old friend from my college and uni days touch base after years of following me on the socials with a view on instructing me in the matter of LPAs.

Being the one-stop law shop for my friendship group past and present is a great feeling, one I will never tire of.

Lovely day of celebrating my Mum's 75th via a surprise appearence. Was lots of fun in particular to catch up with my cousins after many years, especially when we get to swap tales from our respective eras of Internet brainrot.

Found me a new Friday after-work pinball lair filled with vintage classics, one in particular that rewards persistance and punishes the insolent.

Proper lovely weekend of high culture and happytimes. I may be giving Big Projects a rest for the first half of the year, but I think I'm going to have a lot going on in the meantime.

Make this go viral.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Literally the only non-satirical use of phrenology I will countenance is the use of the Story Select function in The Dark Eye, the mid-90s Myst-like based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe

You will not regret watching all of this. Not for one second.
My friends in Austria sent this and I can't stop watching...wait for the end. 🤗💜

Yeah, this is the year I'm removing myself from Twitter for good - not just locking my accounts and ceasing posting, but scrubbing my presence and deleting my accounts entirely.

Musk can have his AI nude-deepfakes playground, I want nothing more to do with it.

Heading back to Salisbury after day of post-party chill. Appreciate not having to be back in the office on the 2nd for a change, actually gives me time for a bit more of an administrative reassembly.

Rung in the New Year in dancy trancy fashion. Feeling nice and reset.

This is literally shit Douglas Adams and Red Dwarf both predicted and mocked without mercy.
Also, this just in -> the latest bizarre AI fever dream is AI-controlled trivets, staplers, and coffee cups on wheels. So we'll be chased around by inanimate wheeled objects clamoring for our attention.

Restive Christmas break on the IoW accomplished, as was a jaunt up to London to poke around some lovely old ruins and share an excellent meal on the banks of the Thames.

Time for a day of gentle domestic accomplishment whilst remaining nicely ensconced in the Cheese Void.

Today I learned that Timmy Mallett has gotten involved in my Dad's Men's Sheds charity.

Good on him, and good on my Dad.

Right, work is DONE baby. Off to the IoW to spend xmas with the parents, something that has proved an exceptional restorative in recent years. And boy howdy after everything I crammed into this year do I need some proper downtime.
