They really do... I am a (bad) 3D modeller/printer, hopefully improving DM, Father, Stepfather, Husband, Son, Brother - I follow people who say interesting things or make models that make me jealous, and block the uninteresting, unpleasant or irritating.

I have very very few followers. I have no issue with that. But if you follow me with an account with no pic, no description and no posts, I will be highly suspicious, and if I'm not in a good mood, will block you faster than an extremely fast thing.

Here's an unusual one..

I extracted a moon landscape from "Space Odyssey", enlarged and cleaned it, then added some Eagles from Space 1999!

Kubrick poached members of Gerry Anderson's team, so this seems only fair...

#lightwave3d as usual.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Started to chuck some more colour on my Godzilla/Gojira piece. Working on it between actual paid work, which is why it's taking a while.

Prints will be available in A2, A3 and A4 when complete...

Star Trek story: The Pakleds were fooled by two Ferengi in a trenchcoat.

Their attempts to fool the Ferengi by doing the same thing in reverse did not end well...

I won Rob Wilkins’ Good Omens 2 crew gear. I never used the rucksack (tho all the other items have pride of place in my Terry Pratchett bookcase) so I would like to pass the rucksack on, with the proceeds going again to Alzheimer’s Research. It being auctioned on EBay

Please could you spread this?
I lost the framed original of this while I was going through St Pancras on Sunday Nov 2nd around 3pm. Would love if it had been found by anyone?

I've never done this on social media before but...

...my brilliant assistant is moving on to pastures new after three years. I am looking for someone to help me out. They need to be able to *get to North London easily, regularly*, energetic (it's often a dashing-around/carrying stuff job)...

Someone made a post. I thought it was funny. I responded with something I thought was funny. They responded saying they didn't need to be corrected. I blocked them to avoid any conflict. Was this the correct approach? My morning is not having the best start 😐

@benaaronovitch.bsky.social Do let me know if you need any star-maps, like the ones I did for the B7 project 😉

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term

Apart from the no-post, no profile randos, I do wonder sometimes why certain people follow me 🤔

Just in case anyone might be considering upgrading to a PS5 in the foreseeable, EE have got a Game Day sale on at the moment which knocks 45 quid off the price of a slim disc version. And you don't even need to have an account with them!

Uk peeps - worth checking this out
With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.

Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Just polled my very small D&D group about continuing our campaign in October, and sadly we've had a drop-out (oddly, the person who suggested we play in the first place) - she even said her character should die rather than be put on hiatus. I made light of it but this sucks a bit...
