Had a dream that I was helping someone find paintings as part of a scavenger hunt at the equivalent of a huge city museum, but they were all Mr Blobby themed and the last one we needed was Blobby as the Statue of Liberty with a (Blobby) baby.

I haven't promoted my Changing Landscapes zine for quite some time, so... On its second print run, this is 40 pages of a variety of North Pennines ruins across all seasons, over 10 years. *UK ONLY* I'm afraid, but it's just £10 which includes second class postage. #Photography #Abandoned

Changing Landscapes Zine
Changing Landscapes – Ruins of the North Pennines is my second zine, following on from Transporter. For those who don’t know, a zine is a mini magazine, usually focused on one subject, and it…

Great if you've left Twitter. In many ways, it's never too late, but fishing for praise for it after staying through such highlights as Election interference Nazi salutes Platforming and rewarding misogyny and racism Csam generation is a damn low bar and you get no flowers from me I'm afraid.

No they don't. Their own research points to most instances of non-payment/compliance as error due to over-complications and complexities of various systems. Evasion has to be deliberate.

An awful lot of you on here have one already and for that I thank you 🫡 and apologise that it's no longer relevant for you. Though dare I mention its potential as a unique Christmas gift 😉.

Not really one for teasing something without showing you exactly what it is, so here's a flip through of the zine. #Zine #Photography

Heavily related, cars are much bigger and take up way more space than they used to. I feel like in the first instance if they cracked down on ridiculous car sizes it would start to solve some of those problems.

I do not believe appliances with one essential function should have or need internet access. Nobody can hack our stupid basic 11 year old fridge freezer unless by hack you mean 'accidentally turn off the power' to it before going on holiday, in which case The Man is a top hacker.

I'm such a worrier, I would never have anything like that on when someone wasn't in the house, same with the tumble dryer etc.

Our friends have a washer/dryer that you can control with an app and do all sorts of things with. But, crucially, you have to be there to put the clothes in...

And on that, my own top 'hack' to stop this happening again, was to put a thin wooden rolling pin behind the air fryer so he can't push it back against the power switch again.

It was a very effective 'forced de-icing' though.

I'm imagining her life up until that point as nothing but forced education in completely disparate subjects. Impressive to think despite this, she somehow still found the time to learn 300 languages.

How every time she argued with someone she'd claim to have an advanced degree in that subject as a sort of Check Mate I Win The Argument move.

Rappers Delight! More from the brilliant rapper dance project we are working on with Dry Water Arts News. Is Rapper part of wider Morris Dancing? Where did it come from? Filmed at the brilliant Durham Folk Festival at Redhills Durham (and across the city) last month.

If you are a business and I buy something from you, I do *not* need to hear from you every day. I only need to hear from you about my order, specifically. Occasionally, you may send me related info or a coupon - this should be no more than twice a month.

Genuinely not sure I'd want to eat anywhere that used AI generated food to advertise themselves. I don't know why, because people have used representative stock images forever and a day but at least they were that... representative. Now they look like some lab-grown alien creation by a mad scientist

Irrelevant to what I said in any case, though I see you're now just diverting wildly from your original claim because so many people have told you you're wrong. You could have just said ah yeah I didn't realise that but instead you dug a nice big hole for yourself and now you're stuck.
