Drop some ROBOTS! ++beep boop I am a robot boop beep++

It's Red Soldier from Team Fortress 2. He is wearing an unconvincing robot costume taped together from cardboard boxes, red cups for eyes and a coathanger antenna. He is clearly also trying to move like a robot.

shameful loss of institutional knowledge on the part of the government and coppers. They should know that if you shoot the "terrorists" first, you just get a nice neat narrative and the media will happily let that story run without asking many inconvenient questions

ughhhhhh my PSU fan is sounding too noisy by far and given the age of it, I probably ought to replace the PSU. But back when I bought the PC as a whole built thing, I got it with tidy cables and it's going to be a nightmare to actually sort out and so I really Cannot Be Arsed with the effort

BOSS: ok and we need the french name for asparagus on the label as well ME: *panicking*

a label for aspragus that includes the french word "asperges"

this kind of thing is why I found a history of the shipping container* more interesting than yet another history of some not-remotely-neglected part of WW1 or WW2 *The Box by Mark Levinson (also yes, I know about Mark Kurlansky's books on cod and salt, they're great too)

fun fact: one of the things that made me decide "no, I will get an actual diagnosis", rather than just assuming, was the subtitle of a thread about ADHD on the SomethingAwful forums because it hit so hard it hurt it was along the lines of "if you were lazy, you would be having fun"

Was looking at the Silent Hill Townfall concept art and my jaw dropped. Was back in my hometown tonight so I had to go and take a photo. There are many ways to mock my beloved Coatbridge, but “your home’s so miserable it was used as concept art for a Silent Hill game” is a new one for me

Five arrested for alleged terrorism offences after ‘major incident’ near RAF Fairford

it's honestly funny as hell that government and media try to drum up outrage insisting that there shouldn't be any consequences for the UK supporting a war of aggression but depressing that people keep falling for it www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Quite down about things. Had been quietly hopeful that an NHS clinic referral I was waiting for could maybe lead to some treatment for a health issue that isn't life-threatening or serious in the grand scheme of things, but is discomforting and sometimes disruptive on a near-daily basis

Current music discourse is making me nostalgic for related discourse on Livejournal in the early 00s where people in the US and UK were unaware and/or refused to believe that radio and in-store playlists could be radically different in each other's countries

If you adopted a feral cat to the inside and he keeps meowing maybe he just really wants to smoke real cigarettes. You don’t know what he was up to before

ok right, everyone who isn't an arsehole hates those people who just have loud audio/video calls holding the phone somewhere ~over there~ walking down the street or on public transport but what I don't get is the people on the other end and why _they_ put up with it?

i take an iced coffee to the job interview. while the interviewer is talking, i take a long sip from the straw, pulling the microfilm into my mouth. i lock eyes with the interviewer. we kiss deeply. the microfilm is no longer in my mouth. i return home through the checkpoint. it is berlin, 1970.

Went to a beer festival and it's safe to say that I Drank Some Beers. They weren't the best beers there by any stretch, but was extremely amused by a festbier called Würst Behaviour and a märzen called Würst Kasė Scenario

whole bunch of top 100 TV lists that don't have The Americans as number one which suggests everyone else is a fool or possibly that taste is subjective but idk I'll probably go with the fool thing

once again marvelling at all the chatgpt/copilot etc obsessed CEOs and boosters who insist that outsourcing all their thinking is good but can never actually elaborate what use they put their own supposed intelligence to if they're using those for everything

whats a movie less than 60% on rotten tomatoes that you consider to be a perfect movie? like not a bit, genuinely perfect film. This film is an amazing skewering of a specific type of idiot chasing the American dream. The casting and Michael Bay's Whole Thing is spot on for the tone of it as well.

Pain & Gain on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a 49% Tomatometer and 47% Popcornmeter
