I have a tremendous idea: SaaP

Software as a Product

Instead of paying every month, you just buy it once and then you just kind of keep it

Good morning.

Time for an art showcase.

Enjoy.

All kickstarter backers should now have access to my little art book PDF! It's actually really exciting, even though the art book is just mini and is just an extra, it's the first book I have put together all myself (although it might technically be a booklet)

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

Yes, Trump's tariffs are a terrible idea based on nonsensical maths. But my main issue was the absolute chaos in how they were listed on his chart.

My Christmas tradition is a woodwork project. This year, because the garage is being renovated, I've got the luxury of a large space.

Today’s poem is dedicated to all those who have taken it upon themselves to correct the grammar or spelling in my poems over the last few weeks.

It’s called ‘Pedents’.

Watching @thestfnetwork.bsky.social 's run-through of Redshift Rally in preparation of running it myself. Loving their work. Perfect match of theme and team.
