Hey, if you know Blackpool or care about Blackpool etc, do you mind sending rude messages to Visit Blackpool about the AI slop display they're planning to put up as part of the Illuminations this year? This is especially infuriating because Blackpool's trying to become more of a town for artists

'The Mowing-Devil', printed in 1678. It recounts, as fact, an alleged incident in #Hertfordshire. A farmer saw a fiery light over his oat field one night, and then found it had been mysteriously mowed. The illustration encouraged some to believe it depicts the first Crop Circle. #WyrdWednesday

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
This is possibly the most obvious goblin trap I’ve seen in London in a long time.

YouTube has noticed I keep watching this and is now recommending me Paul Simon videos.
Ok going to get on with some serious work in this last week before my holiday time kicks in. My brain: 🎶“Hey there Mr Jambo, out there in the African sun…” 🎵
“Sooooo… how was the date?” “Spicy. Really spicy.” “Nice! Romantic and sexy?” “No. Not at all.”

Looking forward to the next series of The Pitt although judging by the current American health news it will be 18 episodes of explosive diarrhea.
Instagram subjected me to a trailer and this looks terrible in exactly the way I would expect (is Depp making a bunch of QUIRKY choices that undermine the whole thing? You betcha he is).

Found this gate in York. It had a standard lock, plus a padlock and a chain holding it shut. It was very very securely closed. The only thing on the other side is a blank wall. The only conclusion I can make is that this is a magic portal to hell.
Took part in my first #EMFCamp this weekend and...bloody hell everyone that was a genuinely life changing experience. Can't believe I have to wait two years for another one but also amazing that they put something like this on every two years. xx
Thank you #emfcamp for letting us share in your name change joy with you. We are so happy to have been able to provide this service.
Had a really beautiful time at EMF. The heatwave forced me to write off a lot of the daytime activities, but even hanging out and decorating Brighton Consulate village with beloved friends was a dream, and I had more energy to dance in Nullsector at night. Can't wait for 2028 ❤️ #emfcamp

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
in honor of Sam Neill, here is one of my favorite movies he ever made

Made a short game based on a true story
Just sharing this again at a time of what's happening in Australia. In Event Horizon Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replaced with the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047
Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially
Please revive Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal as a short just to make his version of this scene please.
The restored MANHUNTER should un-delete the scene where Hannibal calls Will and sings "I Just Called to Say I Love You" to him, which they couldn't clear with Stevie Wonder at the time.
