good morning have you considered furret today?

A Furret (a Pokémon that looks like a bi-coloured ferret) looking up at the viewer with a very gentle and nice expression. It’s a screenshot from Pokémon Concierge so the Furret is made of felt and therefore even more delightful to look at.

Four random photos I took zhat I don’t zhink I ever posted anywhere

A grey squirrel standing at he base of a tree, staring directly towards the camera.

A hotel balcony, upon which is a cardboard standee of Mr Bean and a transgender pride flag with the Great and Powerful Trixie’s head on it.

Some large metal pipes running above ground, connecting to some sort of concrete structure with the stubs of two more pipes that have since been cut off, facing out towards open water.

The wall of a dark, dirty tunnel with smutty white tiles. The wall has a small cut out hole in it, framed with elaborate tiles and the words ‘in’ and ‘out’ on each side. The area behind the hole is unlit, appearing as a pitch black void.

Do you think social media has become too much of a popularity contest? Want it to actually be *social* again? Just miss Cohost or hate the concept of numbers? I wrote a user style to abolish stats from Bluesky. Add Stylus to your browser of choice and install gist.github.com/querkmachine...

Before and after screenshots of the Bluesky side menu. The first includes a notifications bubble. There's a dividing line reading 'nah fam' followed by the same screenshot with no notification bubble.

Would it be so hard to extend the graphics and content over into the gutter? For me? Plz John Apple.

Another screenshot of my website on an iPhone Duo, this time in landscape mode with the app controls on the left. This is near the footer, where there are a lot more full-width graphics and backgrounds going on, which more readily show how everything is cropped to a restricted viewport area.

Hmm, despite being set up with `viewport-fit=cover` and safe-area environment CSS, I guess my website don't get to play with the side section of the Duo's outer display. Shame, that.

Screenshot of my website running on an iPhone Duo. The content is pushed to the left (leaving a gutter on the right for app controls) and the bar that normally runs the full width of the page is visually cut off on one side.

Silly idea I wanted to try coding anyway: What if website navigation was laid out like physical wayfinding?

Screenshot of my website's navigation, but it's laid out like a sign you might find on a road or public transport hub, with links grouped together, arrows pointing in various directions, and various other bits of supplementary information.

I keep taking photos to post on the internet and then forgetting to post them on the internet.

Photograph from a restaurant menu or flyer of a woman holding vine on tomatoes next to her ears and smiling widely. It has the caption “it’s a tomato girl summer” written below it. Overlapping it is a red starburst with the word “tasty” written in all caps.

A yellow and black temporary road sign that has been altered to say “deli pies only, no parking”. (It originally said “deliveries only”.

Multiple old advertising posters from the 1970s or 80s on a tunnel wall, which were overlapping and have been torn up in haphazard ways creating a brightly coloured cacophony of text and illustrations.

Making fucked up ponies with local Stable Diffusion (around 2022) was really when AI generated images peaked, actually.

AI generated image of Fluttershy but she doesn't appear to have limbs, her head is disconnected from her neck, her eyes are each different to one another, and she has a long strand of pink mane hair extending from her nostril.

Another AI generated image of Fluttershy, rearing up on hooves in a sunset landscape, but her mane and tail have blue streaks in them and wings are pink. Also she has a horrifying human face.

AI generated image of what was meant to be Rainbow Dash, but it's more like Rainbow Dash's mane and hair with a set of eyes connected and no rest of her head. Another purple pony with a yellow mane is also inexplicably there.

AI generated image of Rarity except she has a rainbow coloured tail, a terribly distorted face a fifth hoof sticking out of her chest, and a sixth, extremely long, hoof coming out the back of her neck.

Maybe the Electoral Commission outta do something to resolve this reputation.

Mr Orr suggested there would be little chance of consequences because the proposal was only for “technical breaches” of rules and the Electoral Commission was “completely useless”. He also said the regulator was “so dumb and ineffective”.

Today in random things I went and spreadsheeted: every time I've watched something on a streaming service this year. Top 3 so far are Dropout (59), Paramount+ (56), and Nebula (51).

January: BBC iPlayer, Paramount+, Disney+.
February: Tie between Paramount+ and Dropout, Disney+ third.
March: Tie between Disney+ and Prime Video for first, tie between Dropout and Netflix for second.
April: Prime Video, tie between Dropout and Nebula for second.
May: Nebula, Dropout, Prime Video.
June: F1TV, Nebula, Dropout.
July: Paramount+, Disney+, tie between Dropout and Nebula for third.
August: Disney+, BBC iPlayer, tie between Dropout and Paramount+ for third.

CW: AI, dunking on a Reddit screenshot There are already several studies indicating that significant AI usage leads to a reduction in cognitive function. “Thousands of people are attracted to my AI generated adverts" guy might be one such case.

Comment thread on Reddit.

Me: “Who says you need to learn a skill at all? I have more respect for posters that are black text on a white background written in Word than I do for AI generated ones. They're easier to actually read most of the time too.”

Redacted user: “Then you go to the businesses that do that. I'll stick with the thousands of people who are attracted to my AI generated adverts.”

Me: “Will do 👍”

27. My favourite hero ship from the Star Trek franchise is the USS Voyager. My favourite class of ship is probably the Oberth class, cuz they're kinda goofy in a way that appeals to me.

Front view of an Oberth class starship from the Star Trek franchise. The saucer section at the top has the two warp nacelles stuck to each side of the saucer, then two narrow struts descending down to a lumpy secondary hull that is below everything else. It's a grossly impractical looking ship.

18. Every fursona we've had—with the partial exception of Olive—has had a monochrome colour scheme (either grey, or black and white) with an accent colour of orange-yellow, pink–purple, or green.

Collage of nine characters. Going left to right, top to bottom:
Tori, a grey folf with long black hair and an orange shirt.
Alex, an overweight grey bat with black hair and orange-yellow goggles.
Grey, a grey pony with orange eyes and goggles.
Kim, a grey pony with magenta eyes.
Meredith, a black-feathered raven wearing an oversized pink hoodie.
Olive, a reddish-brown squirrel plushsuit with purple eyes and a purple collar.
Emy, a robotic bat built of white panels on a black underlay, with green accents and display screen features.
Ash, a black and white coloured amphimorpho with greenish flesh, eyes and eye colour.
Yinglet!Ash, who has the same colours as amphimorpho Ash but on a yinglet body.

Four panel comic poorly drawn in the style of a syndicated newspaper cartoon, titled “Zhis Life” (edition number 67).

The first panel shows a yinglet standing facing right with arms outstretched, seemingly being blown backwards by some force.

The second and third panels are blank.

The fourth panel shows a desk fan sitting on a table pointing to the left.

Below it, a Family Circus style quotation reads “Zhe best part of being small is zhat every desk fan is a full body experience.”

The comic has some of the random markers of a syndicated cartoon, including having copyright information inserted into one panel, an artist signature and a hand drawn date.
