Berks of DeFrights...or Something.

Creative and cute. Not my words, Carol. The words of an Etsy marketing email. Design, Illustration, Gardens, Furniture, not AI. Ever. English in New England. Low T Man, High Tea Man. Let's get tonight's horror show on the road...

Just watched a video about your rights under the first amendment, and during it they said “or under Nazi Occupation” and the AI generated subtitles coughed up “or under Yahtzee occupation”. So, once again, can someone tell me why we need this bollocks generating dogshit technology?

Bloody hell. I used to do work for the guy who invented these. He was terrifying. “And you’ll have the amends done by this afternoon eh, wee man?” “Well, actually I have to do…” “This afternoon, eh?” “Yes. This afternoon.” If he finds out his IP is being violated, he’ll kill them.

A tie wire reel. On Amazon. By a Chinese company with a nonsensical name.

Watching some IMF speakers on eBay. Wanted some for ages, as a) their reputation and b) never dabbled with transmission line speakers. These are rough. Missing a KEF midrange driver. They’re not selling. Or getting watchers. He keeps lowering the start price but raising shipping. Maaaaate, c’mon.

My nephew was beyond excited to learn that I was using his pic of me on FB and Insta as my profile image, so for my birthday he did me a framed portrait. It’s more flattering than a proper photo of me. Although, my mouth doesn’t overlap my sideburns and my hair isn’t quite so Andrew Neil.

A child’s drawing of me. Capturing my mole, sideburns, shifty eyes and scouring brush hair resting on my head. He’s also captured my lop sided smile and fat neck.

I went out to try and land a mid century fireplace. Too expensive. Needed too much work for the price. Weirdly: guy had same car. Guy was wearing a green Barbour jacket, as was I. He’s just got back from Scotland. He’s planning on moving to Scotland. He buys and sells mid century modern furniture.
