This is what happens to my hands a fortnight after I go outside and forget to take my antihistamine. Bloody allergy to sunlight. Everything feels like grabbing microfibre. This is after applying steroid cream and an emollient cream. Bring on the winter!

The funniest bit of every day homophobia I face is whenever I talk to someone who’s talked to Mrs Beth recently and doesn’t want to say “partner” or “wife” or “girlfriend” or assume that we’re in a relationship and so calls her “the other one” makes me laugh every time

There have been several large college-type expenditures this month so I might open up some slots to do spooky little guys if anyone wants a Halloween avi drawn

I also got one of my One Milkshake to Rule Them All shirts with a design by @dochackenbush.bsky.social made up 😁 you can get these on my redbubble store here www.redbubble.com/people/Beffe...

A black shirt with a pink milkshake with Sauron’s helmet covering it with the words in yellow on a pink background “one milkshake to rule the boys, one milkshake to find them, one milkshake to bring the boys and in my yard to bind them

Woop woop, I’ve booked my New Year’s Eve gigs (a little late this year) I’m doing Hot Water in Liverpool again for the first time since 2019. I’m only missing The Comedy Store in London and I’ll have done a New Year at every big club in the country.

One picture is worth one thousand words, fine. Fair, even. But by that scale, isn’t one gif worth a million emojis? That’s a lot even for me, and I love an emoji.

Thanks to @captainhowdy.bsky.social for doing me a Dead Kennedys/Doctor Doom fair use parody mash up, I finally got the tshirt printed up and it was just delivered 😁

A yellow shirt with the Holiday in Cambodia design updated to say Holiday in Latveria with castle Doom in the background and Doctor Doom looming over everything

Interesting stuff in the Anthropic IPO disclosures, according to the figures for every $1 they’ve earned they’ve incurred $2.77 in costs. So they’re even *less* profitable than OpenAI with their $2.63 spend per $1 earned

I’m reading Enshittification by Cory Doctorow right now because my copy at the library became free, so a lot of the stuff I’ll realise in the next few days is because of that. Anyway, going to go home and turn an old laptop into a pihole and jailbreak all my proprietary hardware

Ah, the first principle for computer scientists to think AI can think is that every computer is a Universal Turing Complete von Neumann Machine. That is any machine can run every valid program. Like running DOOM on anything with a chip and a screen.

How I feel when I’m in a conversation about The Batman II being delayed and someone says “we’re gonna be 50 by the time this trilogy’s finished” and “I was 12 when the first one came out, I’ll be 18 when the second one comes out”

You wanna come over and play? Mum says we have to take turns. I’ve got some cans of pop and the latest X-Men comics.

It’s funny AF that Stephen King has such shitty taste in Horror movies and TV shows. The only person I’ve seen to recommend Blair Witch 2 Book of Shadows, and say that original Twilight Zone was shit. His taste in horror books? Unmatched.

Hot Water was beautiful tonight, the only damper on proceedings was getting a “are you near by?” Text for my second gig about 15 minutes before I went on at the first and now only gig of the night

Sat next to a crying baby for the entire flight. I don't mind though. Feel like they were the only other passenger who truly grasped the unnatural horror of our undertaking. Man does not belong to the sky. The real monsters are those who remain silent.

This is like the discovery that all the tests to see how much microplastics are in the environment were all contaminated by the microplastics present on the nitrile gloves used to avoid contamination.

Unpopular opinion “I’m too self aware/smart for therapy” is bullshit, you’re not self aware enough to realise you’re dumb and haven’t found a good therapist working in a mode that can help you.

Doing new material at a gig tonight but I’m not going on stage wearing a baseball cap with a jacket/hoodie to make it look like I was out enjoying myself and just thought of this and found somewhere I could quickly hop on stage for a minute. I hope I don’t get kicked out of the comedian’s union

Seen a bunch of people saying it’s scary how much better AI video has got because they were tricked by Jean Phil and Archibald Brown, but these are characters who are designed to look uncanny behaving in an odd manner, it’s just leaned in to the things that signify AI videos.

Now I’m approaching 50 I have a lot more empathy for the middle aged people who approached me as a teenager to tell me they used to have a nose ring or brightly coloured hair/a mohawk too when they were teenagers. It’s super tempting and ultimately cringe
