Ryu is all printed and assembled. I guess it would be rude not to print Ken and Chun next. Model by astro_maker3d available on fab_365. Printed on my Centauri Carbon in various PLAs that I had lying around. #3dprinting #streetfighter

Medical update: Docs say I have a Systemic Autoinflammatory Disease. They’re waiting on the results from the genetic testing (which may take months) to give a specific diagnosis. They’ve started me on immunosuppressants to get my immune system to calm down & stop attacking my lungs and heart.

Finally home from thirteen days in hospital. CT scans, X-Rays, PET Scan, Pleural Biopsies, IV antibiotics, a metric ton of anti-inflammatories and an incalculable amount of blood tests. Back on Tuesday for follow up with Rheumatologist and hopefully a diagnosis and treatment plan.

What a surprisingly wholesome experience. Decamped to outside A&E for a better view of the eclipse. Must have shared my glasses with a hundred patients, staff and kids. Genuinely lovely experience.

Today marks the end of my first week in hospital. The doctors still can’t figure out what’s causing the chest pain and fluid on my lungs. It’s beginning to feel like living through an episode of House, albeit with a lot less sexual tension.

I think I’ve cracked the case (pun intended). I am 90% sure that I broke a rib over five months ago. Everything since has been caused by that, the chest pain, the breathlessness, the pleural effusion. I’m going to A&E in the morning to get an X-ray to find out for sure. That would be a result!

Of all the ailments I’ve experienced in my life having fluid on my lungs (bilateral plural effusion) is by far the worst. On bad days it’s almost completely debilitating. Walking from one room to another leaves me out of breath and in agony. It’s making being the main caregiver over the holidays fun

More medical fun times. Woke up with a sore eye on Monday, by the evening it was very sensitive to light. Went to UTC on Tuesday, diagnosed with Uveitis, prescribed three types of eyedrops. This morning everything felt fine and I walked my eldest to school in the sunshine. Thanks to the NHS!

If the UK government had a Culture Secretary, that person would be in a position to take a view about whether child porn on demand was a good thing, or a bad thing. thecritic.co.uk/brin...

Or there’s X, the website formerly known as Twitter. Its owner is committed to removing the government, and seems keen to encourage violence on Britain’s streets. Now its 2026 update lets users create what are politely called “sexualised images” of anyone, including children. A Secretary of State for Culture, if Britain had one, could take a view on whether this was a welcome development. They could, if they had been appointed and went into work every day, offer Starmer advice on whether X should be one of the government’s main channels of communication, effectively supporting a site that produces on-demand pornography of real people including, let’s say it again, children.
