It's exhausting being on a plane piloted by demented, sociopathic 5 year olds.

Irregular reminder that I'm still looking for work of the type I'd get paid for (I can find the other type much more easily). I'm a software developer in New Zealand. There's a wide range of technology I'm happy working with but I'd probably be able to get up to speed fastest on a project using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React, and TypeScript.

@stavvers They've just seen the price of swift bricks in the area.

@stavvers
they're screaming because that's a natural reaction to being in england

I think part of the LLM-Hype is that we all can be managers now. Not knowing anything, not doing anything, but telling others to go and produce a result we can then happily attribute to ourselves.

You might think that Star Trek is a show about exploration, about science, about morality, about what humanity is capable of if we truly embrace the best of ourselves. That is a misconception! Star Trek is, in fact, a show about the weirdest chairs you've ever seen.

I'd forgotten that, back in 2019, I adapted the shot of 'tank man' in Tiananmen Square. It feels even more relevant now.

It's FRIDAY! Woo hoo!

As ever, have a good weekend if you possibly can.

The wee folk tried to learn a couple of new moves this week, but sometimes, just sometimes, I really wish I had given them knees, elbows and waists. Bendy limbs and unbendy bodies are a little restrictive 😆

Whoops.

This is what happens when you rely heavily on government handouts (socialism) to keep your companies afloat.

Musk the Mooch is now kissing ass at Mar-a-Lago …… again.

@evilstevie That would be a tattoo! (shame RedBubble doesn't do temp tattoos)

Wifeface has sent me a screenshot of a poster from Freecycle asking for an old CRT monitor and said "we could get rid of the one we have".

Firstly no, I need that one for something.

Secondly, it was me that posted that request.

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 It's time for my little Pride Goblins 💚.

MTBF (mean time between fuckery)

I just referred to books written before the advent of generative AI as "the low-background steel of literature" and I’m not convinced it's a bad analogy.

So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.

(Edit: That's over 200 games now. Thank you SO much people who've pointed me at stuff I've missed. I'll be working on trying to play all of these and write up stuff about the ones I haven't really said anything about yet.)
