But but it takes a small amount of effort to remember! And it makes me feel bad if I forget! Couldn't Terry just continue living under an identity they don't identify with so I don't have to experience the minor discomfort of change?

I have so many questions and no answers. If you are feeding live giant centipedes to your cat, please stop.

This guy just didn't come out right. I had a feeling from the beginning but I'm not sure if my instincts were telling me something or if I was predisposed to make him mediocre as a result. Anyway, I made a fun lil dude and tried out carving a new pose. Not a bad result! #persistencenotperfection

"May pose a 'catastrophic or existential risks to humanity'." Suuuure it does. Letting my cat run all over the controls in a nuclear power plant would probably have the same effect, but somehow I don't think she can raise $2tn on the stock market.

Isn't it great when the important things you need to do need to be done when you're already sleepy and most likely to forget stuff? I take my meds just before bed as they make me drowsy and sick. I'm all too familiar with waking up going "why do I feel awful?? Oh..." 😑

Commonly known as a "Baby Yaga", this is the juvenile stage of an izbushka. While they can grow large enough to support a house like in the famous legend, it can take decades for them so do so.

I've only been doing nice carvings recently, which is fine and all but sometimes I get a craving to make something awful. To that end, please welcome Eyeball Jeff.

The Anthropic docs refer to someone using Claude as "a human coworker". So I guess when I'm making breakfast, the stove and the toaster are my mechanical coworkers?

Things were rough for a while but after Pingu had a cocaine fuelled breakdown during his stint as a horror director, he was able to patch things up with his cousin in rehab and now both Pingu and Big Pingus are doing a lot better.

Eventually he went to a disastrous audition where he tried to do a happy dance and broke the set, two cameras and an entire lighting array.

Growing up, Big Pingus was always in the shadow of his more famous cousin, Pingu. No matter how many weightlifting trophies he brought home or how many hotdog eating contests he won, his parents were always asking why he didn't go into children's TV like his cousin.

This is Big Pingus! You ever just get a stupid idea in your head and need to see it through?

I'm thinking of pivoting to selling "make your own" antique kits. Just take whatever random item I sent out of the box, wait 80 years and tah-day! Instant antique!

"It might be TOO POWERFUL!!" No problem at all, data centres are still weak to sledgehammers and I'm confident we can have A LOT of people ready to "help" with this "problem" at a moment's notice.

Tiny knives, along with the knife used to carve them! If you have some long, thin wood and can avoid snapping them, these are a really fun five-minute whittle. Dunno what to do with them now though. Maybe I'll just give them out for free at craft fairs.

And we're done! I know it's only September and much too early for Christmas, but who am I to argue with a client? The drybrushing on the snowflake turned out unexpectedly nice, but the camera struggles with it a bit. Please enjoy the extra picture hinting at just how messy my desk is.

If you're very lucky, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of a gnome overlord. Despite their name, these gnomes are very peaceful and are most often seen apologising for something they knocked over or broke (tomte spaces are much too small for them).

There are much easier ways to get attention. For example, you can just make up shit about disabled people! No need to have ever interacted with or known anyone disabled, this opportunity is open to anyone sufficiently toxic.

Don't get me started. Back in my day, if you wanted to violate someone's privacy, you had to put the work in! Freeze your ass off hiding in a bush somewhere you're not supposed to be with a camcorder at 3am! We're in serious danger of these traditional pastimes dying out.
