I'm from the Potteries, UK, where many plates are still made and there's a piece of the story missing - you haven't turned it over to show us the back!

it is a bit nippy out there at the mo, I am not surprised she wants to steal your warmth.

great to hear you visited our longstanding arts org!
I'm volunteering for them at the mo, helping with an archive project.

"carrot", you mean!

Writers Who Use AI Are Not Real Writers Dorothy Parker famously (but probably not really) said, “I hate to write, but I love having written,” which is a sentiment I don’t largely understand or agree with in the broader …

Read that article about the """writer""" generating 200 books a year with AI and needless to say, I had THOUGHTS

windswept and superb!

ooh, nice!

ta, I can do a removepaywall on the latter

they are extremely well applied prosthetics! kudos to her make-up artist. and they only had a month to do it all in. (I read the Marie Claire article about it)

today's a cold leftover curry for lunch day, video chat with my sister, and old war films - Where Eagles Dare and Guns of Navarone.

A cartoon from Viz called Terror in NYC

This piece of brilliance from @vizcomic.bsky.social is the story of my life

it's dated 31st February.

no ponytail for Archer, but, tactical turtleneck!

Jackie Clewlow WeTransfer sneak in some new t&c indicating they can now own the info you're transferring and feed it to their 'machine learning systems'.

flagging this for @bobbyllew.bsky.social to read, as said in recent email about not using American things - We Transfer is from Amsterdam therefore he could use it. I've made my fb post public - but short version is their new t&c say they can use your content to feed their AI. shorturl.at/A07yc

Now a perfect Valentine's Day Card

I wonder if there's any relation to penanggalan? one of my roleplay characters years back, I got told I'd been turned into this sort of vampire, and was trying to create a herd to feed from out of the local student population en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penangg...

nothing new, Ronald Reagan ran the USA via advice from his wife's astrologer

flagging this to remind myself to buy the pattern.

there's also the chance of finding interesting books on the charity table.

looks fun

I'd love Necrosmologies please, being from the Midlands!

D suggests minor electrical faults within the house? surges, burnout of cables, rats at the cables?

it's a visceral reaction to the smell. so we have TCP in for desperate medical measures. I prefer Dettol, but one of us had to give!

Simple Green is also good - but do not get it on your hands, incredibly strong degreaser. couldn't get this in the UK for ages.

my local doesn't do that anymore.
