No wonder that robot outfit I made isn't getting me any action.

Original article posted before the LLM AI craze. Today the sex robots would be depending on a massively male-skewed corpus when trying to find a clitoris. Good luck.

WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY was released 54 years ago today. One of the most beloved family films ever made and among the most popular works of Gene Wilder, the making of story is like entering a world of pure imagination… 1/57

Overhead a girl in a cafe tell the group she was with that she'd never follow an influencer that old, after she saw me taking a photo of my lunch. I'm not an influencer, I'd just arranged my lunch into a cock and balls and was sending the pic to my mates. I'm 48.

Just seen a $15,000,000 (yes, fifteen million) Backerkit RPG project offer 10c/word for writing and £18/hour for team meetings + playtests. Despite first appearances, £18 for a freelancer is disgustingly low and here’s why 👇

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, lord of the rings or marvel. (I teach film, even aside from movies I love there are dozens I watch every year with every new class. But this is my favourite.)

So the main theme is obviously a masterpiece for all time, and The Plot now gets the recognition it deserves by being the basis of half the best bits of the score on some of the films. But you know what they haven’t used nearly enough? Jim On The Move. MAXIMUM COOL. youtu.be/gsMCxFllRBg?...

I had a wasp in my helmet once on a twisty road in Scotland. Genuinely one of the top three most terrifying experiences of my life.

When asked if I ever get scared riding my motorbike I usually respond with the same speech about how I ride defensively and within my own limits. Truth is I'm absolutely terrified of a wasp getting in my helmet. It's my biggest fear. I never have my visor up even in heatwaves.

One of the benefits of reading a lot of history is that you realize how many people who were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they were doing a lot of good were, in fact, doing a lot of harm. Certainty is a hell of a drug. Certainty combined with fame/power is especially dangerous.

Those of you who've followed me for a while know I generally only run a sale for an unplanned expense, not for regular bills like workshop rent or materials. So here's a 20% discount to help me pay for an unexpected emergency vet bill for Fenris co-pilot Oz. Use code OZVET20 at checkout. Thankyou.

Just spoken to my supplier and as feared, my Edge of Eternities order is about to be slashed. Why can't stores get stock? We haven't been able to get Pokemon for MONTHS but I saw boosters in Card Factory last week 🤦‍♀️ Why am I even bothering?
