If you're on the fence about having kids, just remember there is nothing that can compare with snuggling a tiny little cuddly bundle as it absent mindedly and repeatedly heel kicks you in the crotch

Have a look at the Instagram account Unstable King - I help him out occasionally (just had to post this when I finished it) but he makes some really cool stuff

Yo @rahulkohli13.bsky.social , I know you're all about the 4k fidelity, but how about some love for this retro set mockup?

Whilst obviously getting it on film would be preferable, you can just go to a club and walk through it really slowly.

Like... No-one can stop you, y'know?

If you enjoy unexpected dark humour, I present, for your consideration:

My wife, reading a book to the baby that has buttons to play ocean animal sounds in a sing song voice:

"What can you hear under the sea? You can hear Titan Imploding!"

Never been more proud of her

Israel is accused of the gravest war crimes in Gaza Distinguished lawyers, senior humanitarians and diplomats tell Jeremy Bowen why they are increasingly concerned about the catastrophe inside Gaza

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it:

"These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening."

I hope everyone who has got a shiny new Switch 2 is having lots of fun with it.

I'm jealous. What's annoying is I wasn't fussed at all until other people have the shiny new toy and now I want one.

I shall console (ha) myself by watching Predator: Killer of Killers instead

The one day I don't check Blue sky, and when I spent a large portion of it doing my tax return, there's a demo for the game I'm most excited about. Typical

But if you mow it then how will you pose velociraptor toys in it like the scene in The Lost World? Which my son assures me is something everyone does and is extremely important

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something?  Me too.  Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code.  And that's all it does.  You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even.  Read the source; nothing up my sleeves.  Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself.  If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free.  Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Handy dandy QR code generator for free.

Good for sharing your work #TTRPG people!

I'm sleep deprived and a bit delirious, so I'm going to do a very un-British thing and publicly thank @foldablehuman.bsky.social and @mikeyface.bsky.social for providing me with my YouTube comfort viewing playlist while I work today.

If you don't know them, watch them. If you do, watch them again

A moment of judgment has come at last: not just for Netanyahu but for his enablers | Owen Jones Israel’s renewed assault on Gaza has prompted international condemnation, but many of those critics will face their own reckoning, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

β€œ A truth is dawning: that this will be remembered as one of history’s great crimes. Right now, the UN warns that 14,000 babies could perish in the next 48 hours without aid. β€œ

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Me, thinking about big stately homes in the abstract: Awful, hate it, grandiose displays of wealth, all this space that could be shared freely, benefit of colonialism

Me, at a stately home on a beautiful day the morning after a wedding: All of the above still, but it is pretty
