Creative and cute. Not my words, Carol. The words of an Etsy marketing email.

Design, Illustration, Gardens, Furniture, not AI. Ever. English in New England. Low T Man, High Tea Man.

Let's get tonight's horror show on the road...
Pinned
In the first story in From Beyond the Grave, there's a short sequence illustrating the passage of time as new tenants take on a flat, and Tony Curtis gets to design / dress three additional sets. And we go teak - rosewood - chrome...
Just saw 'people being familiar with tech' described as being 'a digital native' and so now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go out and do a 'mass violence'.

Imagine using that in a sentence, though.

"Can you figure out notification settings on my phone?"
"Of course, I'm a digital native"

Finally got hold of auction house people who’ve said it’s fine to collect the car in the evening, they’ll “just leave the paperwork and keys in it in the parking lot”.

I feel like a Key Safe might be the answer here, rather than ‘might get stolen, might not’.

Today was warmer. 6 degrees warmer. Meaning it was still minus 1.

Much nose blowing.

I do enjoy real estate agents beginning a listing with 'easy living in this...' like the vapid cunts have never heard of capitalism which exists purely to ensure that living is as far from easy as humanly possible....

Perfect listing photo. No notes.

Trying to be interested in the football tonight, but instead looking at new dramas I could watch, with my options being:

1) ‘…making them realise nothing will be the same again’

Or

2) ‘…until they realise things are not how they seem’

I presume that Coke have cobbled their Christmas ad together with AI again this year as it looks dogshit. With some uncanny valley waxiness, and trucks sliding sideways as well as forwards.

Or perhaps it’s just dogshit CGI.

To cut a long story short, it’s all just dogshit.

When you buy a 'New Without Tags' sweater on Ebay, receive it, and suspect it's not 'New Without Tags' because the elbows have been buffed to a high gloss and the cuffs have been so stretched that you think someone may have been wearing it as a pair of trousers instead...

Oscar Wilde is at it again, lads.

I don’t know why FB continues with these fruitless attempts to get me to follow.

Best just change those interaction settings as we’re at the stage of BlueSky now where his Stans will be here.

Half an hour of attempted leaf collecting. Can confirm it does indeed feel like minus 7.

While rummaging about online I discovered there was a Quebecois Taskmaster.

Difficult to imagine the tasks not involving leather trousers, leopard print tops, driving 30mph over the speed limit and half over the centre line, all while not tipping.

Sanding and cleaning down the edges of the new veneer. And, let me tell you…it’s very very boring work. All the whimsical library music in the world couldn’t make this look fun…

Oh good. MGM legal department aggressively going at my Etsy store this evening, citing lots of things that I actually haven't done, and Etsy rolling over to have their tummy tickled...despite the whole 'haven't done the things they're claiming' shit.

I see the latest ChatGPT TV ad is working from a position of ‘maps, guidebooks and the internet don’t exist’.

It’s all just ‘looking something up’ but with a 90% chance of it all being wrong.

Awww. Poor chap. Some lead tonic and a bath with leeches should sort that out.

American advertisers have once again gone with ‘Santa but fuckable’ for a whole slew of TV spots this year.

Odd to consider that the guy who comes down the chimney might also cuck you with your partner as he empties his sack and…
