Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Spooky season approaches! The CatBats really revel in this time of year. Perhaps you would like to enhance the feeling of the season with a CatBat of your very own? Let me know if you'd like one :)

Three catbats, one tabby, one tuxedo and one ginger, are flying at you through your screen! They're emerging from a stylised cobweb on a purple background decorated with a dark purple leafy pattern.

Has there ever been a Doctor Who story about people substituting human capabilities with machine replacements that lack any genuine human feeling or emotion? If they did, remind me, was it good or bad?

It turns out cultural landlordism, much like ordinary landlordism, also can’t impress tenants who it keeps throwing out.

DID YOU KNOW I have a Redbubble store with some kick ass designs on all kinds of products? I just added a new design today, for my trans siblings and fellow #twinpeaks fanatics who still miss #DavidLynch. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1837... #transpride #bsnm #queerart

A hand drawn and digitally coloured image of a stylised red anatomical heart wrapped in rose vines with thorns and tiny leaves, and a banner that reads "Fix Your Hearts or Die". There is a tiny rosebud and a blooming rose coming out of the top of the heart, and both have petals in the pink, blue and white of the trans pride flag.
