Oh, YES. Been meaning to do this for years, and finally found which old box the disks were in.

Got my new shirt ready for all the AI meet-ups that I don’t go to.

I was inspired by whatever the latest round of AI bullshit is to add a new shirt to #HTTPShirts... sellshirts.com/product/23563

@davidgerard the apostrophe here leaves me wholly unsurprised.

Daughter @shadow-cat has now designed a few very cute T-shirts. I particularly like the “Today I am a serious goose” and swimming ones… sellshirts.com/marketplace/birdface

Modern Dependency Problems (with apologies and thanks to XKCD) Probably needs more arrows, tbh

The classic XKCD dependency stack cartoon, but relabeled. The image shows a huge pile of boxes representing "all modern digital infrastructure" precariously balanced atop each other. A label at the right (ha!) says "A project led by a guy who then turns out to be a fascist" and arrows point from that to boxes all over the diagram.

[Grimdark miniature painting with lots of blood] #WIPWednesday: #TrenchCrusade is sick filth and should probably be banned

A rather disgusting miniature that defies description. It's a humanoid figure with a flayed skin cape, dark steel armour, and a bloody bow and bone arrow grown out of its left hand.

We've got 12 people so far in the Forking #Rails matrix space, and the beginnings of a plan! Naming is hard though, come and share ideas! matrix.to/#/#forking-rails:matrix.o…

Another #Moonstone mini done in idle moments over the weekend. I’m picking up all these off eBay or other second hand sources, and I’m *loving* the variety of painting each one individually. Doesn’t bode well for finishing my Tyranid swarm though.

Mastodon really wants me to know this important news:

A post from @pikesley showing up at the top of all 3 columns in my Mastodon window. The post includes a picture of me wearing a fake horse head with a torch inside, illuminating the nose in a very strange way. Three times.

Scrolling the BBC news website, saw this, and *100% honestly* read it at first as "How to keep your baby cool in a microwave". Sometimes being a fast reader is... somewhat inaccurate.
