I basically don't open this app anymore, but whenever I do it feels like visiting an elderly relative whose house is falling into disrepair
FWIW, I'm moderately enjoying Bluesky atm, even if the app has a bit of a "heckin' Adulting" energy to it
Heartbreaking that trains combine the best autism things (engineering, structure, literally on-rails) with the worst autism things (disruption, noise, proximity to strangers, accidental eye contact)
If you follow me on the other place I might start Posting again

Whilst I'm on this website-hole: taking suggestions for next TF clip animation. I have a lot less spare time than I used to so ideally something short (i.e not The Lagoon bit)
Animated a bit from @trashfuturepod that I enjoyed, because I'm a nerd with too much spare time

ALT A bunch of men are hanging out in a big hole. A sign points to it labelled "Hole." One of the men in the hole points to a sign that says "NEW HOLE." He says "hey look! someone made a new hole!"

I'm re-learning how to drive atm, and it's cool to be reminded that we're all one fumble away from vehicular mortality at all times

ALT A screenshot of The Sims 4 showing a fan excitedly talking to a glamorous Sim who's signing an autograph for them.
Shout out to "schemes". Gotta be one of my favourite words for "evil"
I am also posting about Astrobot
ALT Badly edited brooklyn 99 meme: i've only had Astrobot for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.
Love to go to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to look at an empty room full of budget savings

AI is cool: terawatts of power used and petabytes of data consumed with the sole effect of me having to do one more scroll-down past the bullshit zone on Google
Crazy that games don't just flop now, they get sent to the fucking shadow realm
Concord will be taken offline on September 6, 2024 and all players will receive a full refund. bit.ly/3z4iCJM
Would like to recommend @pierrenovellie 's book to anyone who's ever thought "I might be a bit on the spectrum". My experience of reading and thinking about my own life has been like:

In May this year, @LordPeterHendy pressured my now-former employer @SYSTRA_UKIRL to sack me by threatening them.
Why did he do this? Because I'd highlighted safety and accessibility issues at Euston station. He is unfit for office and should resign.
