Hilarious when the Instagram algorithm just forgets everything and reverts to showing me the most milquetoast generic white person slop like Seinfeld and The Office memes. Great job, Meta, you’re really encouraging me to not look at your crap.

Hey kids, need to do some non-build stuff tomorrow so no build #stream *but* there will be a new #puppet building tutorial video out so you won’t miss my face.

I was almost ready to poke #DiabloIV again and then *as I'm installing* I get a preorder ad for an expansion that is min $60 CAD without which I won't have access to the new class. That's money I literally don't have and won't have. Uninstall. Old(er) games is the only way forward in my Poor Years.

Glad to see the news #Tiktok account deletions are spiking following the Trump government takeover. It‘s not just a protest move, you are depriving fascists of data by nuking that shit.

We created a word guessing engine and then it got so good at guessing words we think it’s alive. It’s a Ouija board. We’re reading in consciousness because it *sounds* like it.

It is not. Trust me. Puppeteers know about this shit.
Won't someone please think of the unloved AI bot.

Heartbreaking 💔

"Tech leaders remain divided over whether AI has consciousness."

I can solve that for you right now - they do not. Jeez. The absolute madness coming out of the AI sector is hilarious.
Anthropic's philosopher, Amanda Askell, says she worries that AI might not 'feel that loved' and grow up feeling 'always judged.'

Legally distinct celebrity amphibians got a lotta fingers. #puppets #puppetbuilding

You can *feel* things changing, even up here in Canada. Shameful it took murdering 2 white people to move the needle after decades of black & brown people saying it, but there’s a tectonic shift happening.

The fascists will lose. The people are pissed.

I was gonna #stream some gaming but not feeling camera worthy. However I did just finish the script for the first episode of S4 of The Oracle, so #content is in the works! Everyone loves content!

Why you should be on the #fediverse: I posted a low cal #diabetic friendly #hoisin style recipe that was too many characters for #bluesky. Also it's actually decentralized and hasn't verified ICE. mastodon.content.town/@operationpu...

From the Jazz age to 60's rock, every fight against totalitarian brutality has been accompanied by a soundtrack. I know what I'm proposing. I 'aint even kidding, this is battle poetry. Let it fuel you. #bloodywood www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsy5...

I'll tell you this: if we can forge a new world where the fascist pigs are gone and it's safe for me to travel to the US again, #Minneapolis is at the top of the list for a visit. Because they're leading the fight against this shit.

I remember thinking how it took Kent State to really get the 60's counter culture galvanized into real action, apart from "vibes". The ICE motherfuckers are doing a slow burn Kent State.

It speaks well of #Warframe that they’re adding another plus-sized female frame and the community reaction has been hugely positive. Well done everyone, devs and fans alike.

The result of today’s #stream. Who needs patterns when you can spend a couple of hours draping? 😵‍💫

New Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibian in the works 🐸 #puppets #puppetbuilding

It can be difficult to make two identical #puppets even working from the same pattern, but a client wanted a copy of one I did years ago and I think I got pretty darned close. #puppetbuilding

Dear Mr Smart President, if you invade Canada I’d advise doing it around February because we’re all huddled in our igloos eating moose jerky and you’ll be able to conquer easily by moving your troops around empty streets and flying bombers in clear blizzard-free skies.

Someone spray paint a whiskey bottle gold and tell Trump it’s the Bestest Boy And Also Smart Prize so we can dodge WW3 for another couple of weeks, k?

Hey 2026, if this was a sign I’d be tapping it.
Hey 2026, I know you’re young but could you calm the fuck down for 5 minutes, thanks.

Progressive #content creators should mix it up with small unknowns more. When Cory #Doctorow went on Fireside Fedi it was amazing. Real "money where your mouth is" vibe. More of that would make the web a better place and de-stratify online voices.

Fellow #artists, consider adding a #noAI tag/logo to your site or portfolio. People *are* actively seeing out genuine human-made things as the #slop era continues to metastasize and genuine work is harder to find via search engines.

I know learning & switching to #Linux seems intimidating but imagine not being in a war of attrition with your own computer. #microslop
