Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 06/10/2026LNP's trying to pitch the immigration policy to the left of Labor's (which is to say basically the same except that he's noticed that destroying universities by banning international students will crash the economy) 010
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 06/10/2026In honour of his passing, the only Jeffrey Archer book I've ever read. Incidentally, in looking up the cover, I see that more recent editions completely replace the very good Derek Matthews illustrations... wonder what happened there. 000
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 02/10/2026Just realised I never have to see this dipshit in my feed again. Blocking makes me feel good 120
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 01/10/2026I don't think anyone's going to like the outcome of today's youth eventually realising *voting* at all won't solve it 120
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 01/10/2026Oh shoot it honestly only just occurred to me the guy was being literal and not using ironic understatement 000
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 29/09/2026Don't normally get out-of-pocket replies from weird old cunts on Bluesky as much as I did on Twitter, so I'm preserving this one for posterity. Blocked him, of course 020
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 28/09/2026I painted this a year ago and remember thinking at the time it wasn't very good, but in retrospect, not so bad 030
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 27/09/2026One of the most incredibly composed shots in Doctor Who history ("The Tenth Planet", from a YouTube recolouriser video). Why is that Cyberman standing like that? Hilariously the shot begins with a close-up on Robert Beatty in the background before it zooms out through the Cyberman's legs 1104
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 27/09/2026While designing and building this jewellery cabinet, I learned that the internal components that hold drawers in place (when they're not solid panels) are called web frames. Here's 4 that I made with half-lap joints on the table saw and boy are my arms tired 220
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 25/09/2026Sorry but I'm not taking AI investing advice from V'Ger 160
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 13/09/2026You spent a lot of yesterday posting given it was the day you were born 0211
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 10/09/2026Nine years to the day since we brought this little guy home for the first time 010
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 07/09/2026List creator is clearly having a fairly slow-moving breakdown 120
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 05/09/2026LOL already seeing criticisms of the feature, but they're basically just this old tweet. 120
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 02/09/2026PSA if you’ve been finding that Apple Music starts fading in new songs a minute before the end of old songs 110
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 29/08/2026Cut a practice curve with a hand saw, a rasp, and a spokeshave. Not looking too shabby 250
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 28/08/2026Wait you're telling me one-time Celebrity Bargain Hunt contestant Richard O'Brien was in Rocky Horror? 020
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 14/08/2026Normal people just block Stancil and never think about him again but he's apparently driven some people out of their tiny minds 050
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 12/08/2026Second ever dovetail. This time, it's an actually functional joint, for all that it's a bit gappy on the tail socket side (on the right of the picture). 160
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 09/08/2026Speaking of woodworking joints, there are new realms of bullshit being explored in nonsense AI-generated thumbnails on woodworking YouTube 120
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 09/08/2026Sure doesn't look like much, but it's my first ever attempt at cutting a dovetail joint. The sawing went pretty well, but I fell down on laying out the joint and it was too gappy. Hopefully this is the worst one I'll ever cut. 3120
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 09/08/2026Plenty of regular folk post a lot but it's the "no break longer than 1 hour" pattern that suggests automation. On the other hand, maybe being that obsessed with posting is its own punishment. 120
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 07/08/2026Matlock here looking like a dwarven king shortly after his advisors told him what a Balrog is 110
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 07/08/2026You didn't know? They're fantastic and easier to manage than the online versions. 100
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 04/08/2026I hope they call it "the contraption" because that is borderline Heath Robinson, I love it 040
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 04/08/2026It's just hit me that Richard Scarry is basically the original urban sketching artist. The pen and ink line style, the loose watercolour treatment, the town-focused subject matter 0110
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 03/08/2026Yeah for real the Bluesky CEO is really focused on making this place better for sports fans, the political stuff is genuinely an afterthought. He's not saying he wants to attract other kinds of politics, just other kinds of communities 252
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 15/07/2026Yeah it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what they're for! This para in particular. No checks or balances means problems *never go away* 020
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 13/07/2026At the very least this is a solid signal that they're up to no good 020
Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 10/07/2026It’s Matlock’s ninth birthday today. He got a bath from his favourite dog washer, who plied him with treats. Happy birthday you mysterious scruff hound. 040
