iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Sandy Wilson @sandals-ajw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I've been (very slowly!) reading this from an evolution point of view in terms of having to teach it to Year 6. Not only is it a fascinating subject matter explained in an interesting way, it is also hilarious. Highly recommended.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

I will always stand with you 🏳️‍⚧️

In final fantasy tactics an edited screen shot shows the trans flag and colors on a ally country saying “Will you stand with us because they might come for you next?” To which the main character who represents the poster says “No, I'll stand with you because they're coming
Tor you now.”

Because if you fuck with my trans friends or people I will fucking come for you

Thanks to Cam Rogers on Facebook for articulating exactly the issues around the new animated Firefly that's been announced.

It's set between the end of the show and the 'Serenity' film. I can guess why: they consider Wash, and the Wash/Zoe relationship, too valuable. But this really is both a mistake and an act of creative cowardice. Whether that was the cast's call or the money's call the point stands.
Don't get me wrong: we have much bigger problems at the moment. But, to take a moment away from those problems and address a point of craft:
I can't believe the US is still - STILL - death-gripping the notion that prequels are a good idea. There's an inherent lack of tension in having *read the ending already*. An ending, I might add, that fueled a ton of unresolved tension - desire - to know *what happens after that ending*. Fans have held that tension for almost twenty years and this is what they get.
Prequels fundamentally disrespect the trust and investment viewers placed in what you made. If it was a story worth telling you'd have started there. On some level we all know we're being handed warmed-up leftovers.
Final point: I had no intention of supporting this as Baldwin (who plays Jane) was one of the main instigators of GamerGate and *created the hashtag*.
By association the cast approves of his company while also enriching him. If you're cool with providing work for a pop-eyed right-winger who created what is arguably the defining incel movement and marshalled an army of men to terrorize women for having careers and opinions then, frankly, nobody should feel safe working with you ever again. And you certainly shouldn't be supported.
Especially in this current moment.
Weak art, stale bread, handled by a dirtbag whose involvement diminishes everyone involved. Take a hike.

What this is (like so much in the publishing industry right now) is prioritising shit books by famous people that will briefly sell a lot then be forgotten over books with steady longevity by writers who've spent years learning their craft. It's money-grabbing cowardice & book lovers see through it.

I'd never thought about joining a political party. I've been massively disappointed with every political interaction I've ever had - I've only ever voted for a winner in the last General.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com

Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant.
“Reactor Overheating”

2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads:
“Press cancel to avoid critical overload”

3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads:
“Enter password to confirm”
“Incorrect password”
“Incorrect password”
“Do you want to reset your password?”
“Reset link has been sent to your email”
“Please choose a new password”
“New password can't be the same as old password”
The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9.

Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.

Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
