I suppose it's good to help guide people to the right place:

I'm a weirdo. A timid one, maybe, but sometimes I'll post stuff that hits a niche, is out of place or not your cup of tea.

I try to keep NSFW to a minimum. This doesn't mean I exclude it.

I DON'T want to get political here.

Potatoes.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

Welp, the account was banned. A shame, their art was pretty decent to look at.

ATTENTION, HIJACKED ACCOUNT
@yamiokamiart.bsky.social

Has sent me messages claiming to have accidentally reported me. The following convo on discord show strong signs of phishing. I suspect their account was hacked.

Finding out there's public meeting spaces to hang, drink coffee, and enjoy people's company with small organised events from the municipality without ANY attachments, two streets from my home?

What is this? Decision makers actually listening? This is great!

Born to dilly dally with things out of the box.

Forced to troubleshoot for hours on end.

Choosing to spend additional hours getting it to work the way I want to.

Forgetting the project halfway through for 3 side tracks by nature.

Out here with a silly cup of coffee, a small piece of cake, comfortable blanket, and comfort streamer live. Still a week off work to come.

Yeah, I can get used to this.

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows.

This is nothing to do with how I feel about the writing: I believe it's my best non-fiction book. But my ex-publishers ran off with my (and other authors') earnings & almost completely derailed my career & life. Because of that, I'd like these out of my house.

Any shares of this much appreciated.
These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total).

If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow.

P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"

Crazy idea: what if we make electricity cost more for non-residential use.

SO.

While the rest of the team has returned after a well-earned vacation, I just started some time off.

What to do, what to do...

Listen kids:

Sometimes you just want to play a video game with all the cheats turned on and that's absolutely okay. That's the flannel jammie pants and t-shirt of gaming and it's perfectly valid.

We've received the Pixel 10 we ordered and have confirmed it supports unlocking, flashing another verified boot key and locking again.

Our Pixel 10 support will likely only be possible to complete after we finish porting to Android 16 QPR1 which is being released in September.

Taking the opportunity to "de-Microsoft" myself.

please uninstall this update until microsoft applies a fix

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

All I have left of the 1000s of books I bought from my ex-publisher's warehouse are about 200 copies of Ring The Hill. I'd *love* to get them to good homes this week.

If you're in the UK & you'd like one, for the price of your choice (any price!), pls email me your address at hello@tom-cox.com.

Got my theory book in earlier this week and, damn...

320 pages of theory, rules, best practices and warnings. Yet lots 'o new motorcyclists still drive like it's track day any day with no gear on?

What's going on, young people? You're not that much more invinsible than the grey beards.
