I'm why we can't have nice things. Fear. Confusion. Chaos. My work here is done. Only to be sold as part of a multipack. He/Him. Reskeets *ARE* endorsements. Quoteskeets "it depends".

"In my day, we would shuck wii nunchucks for gyros" It flew about as well as could be expected, but it was state of the art in 2011!

Hackers and Johnny Mnemonic both released in 1995, and may have informed my aesthetic preferences.

Which one if you bastards installed a slip and slide in my kitchen? Ow.

A wrist with a large lump forming. Hopefully it's only sprained.

Back to my favourite cinema to see the original Ghost In The Shell. Big robots represent!

Literally the only reason anything is getting done today.

An almost featureless office ceiling save for one weak fluorescent light fitting and the live saving air conditioning return vent.

From Morgan Stanley Director to Goose Farmer. Oooof. What's the most jaw-dropping career switch you've ever seen! 🚀 Have you dreamed of a radical career change? How would you make it happen?

Below is a screenshot from LinkedIn showing 10 years 11 months at Morgan Stanley to a self-employed Goose Farmer.

When did Amazon change their icon background colour? They've become the Temu AliExpress!

They now appear quite similar!

I've stopped censoring myself in the office when people attempt to promote vibe-coded slop.

Panel 2 (the goose begins to give chase, honking angrily) "HOW DO WE GET THEM?!"

That's it I'm buggering off to Germany for the rest of the week. Ahh... beans.

I was introduced to the German insult of of "Hobbyless Behaviour" this year, certainly seems to fit here too! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

Allo!

Blue hair tufts and a red scarf have been badly edited on to make it look like William The Worm from the Jim Henson movie Labyrinth.

Taken myself off to see Akira at my local indie and favourite cinema The Odyssey in St Albans. #akira #cinema

It is an incredible way of enjoying a movie.

It's been a hot minute since I've built something, so a productive Saturday was had making a prototype battery pack to add runtime to my Anker C300DC power bank. No smoke, pixies remain contained! I also played Filament Roulette with the last of the purple.

A cluttered desk showing a DIY battery pack made of thick cylindrical cells. A small black box converts the output to USB-C which is being used to charge a smaller Ryobi tool battery.

Big fan of mole grips (generically, locking pliers) for these sorts of small pulling jobs, as they will perform the gripping task and then you can do the pulling.
