That doesn't feel right. Pol and Zo are still babies to me. And it only feels like yesterday that Rick would keep the Foxtel box warm. xx

I'm not typically a fan of blocklists as you can be accused of all sorts (I'm on one for "sex bots, onlyfans, porn, nudes", I mean... what), but if you're already blocking the newly-created US gov accounts then this list seems well curated for removing the bots that have swarmed to follow them.

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

Offalseed’s finest - Barabbas Loins. Drawn sometime in early 2020; reposted today apropos of absolutely nothing.

No, I still don’t know why I gave him fancy cowboy boots.

(with apologies to @markhumphries.bsky.social, as always.)

A digital drawing of Barabbas Loins, Member for Offalseed and Minister for Mulch. He’s wearing fancy cowboy boots in addition to his usual blue shirt, beige pants and big hat. Why remains a mystery even five years after the fact.

Procreate on iPad, sometime in early 2020.

If you told the person (me) who doodled this very poor Plucka at work ten-ish years ago that she’ll be an actual known*, recognised** and qualified*** artist a decade later, she’d probably tell you to fuck off.

(* “christ, not her again”)
(** within certain niche AusComedy circles)
(*** cert 3!)

A very rough and off-model pen doodle of Hey Hey It’s Saturday’s Plucka Duck. “Poor Plucka” is written to the side, and is a very apt description.

UPDATE: He DM’d me and told me he’s stoked to be made into a cartoon character. 🥲

Mercifully, tonight's life drawing model did not take offence to the odd caricatures I drew of him.

A pencil drawing of a man with shoulder-length hair and arms, hands, and the bottom of his body melting away.

The model was not actually melting away like this, despite tonight's heat. Rather, I tried and failed to draw his legs in the pose he was holding so many times I gave up and made him melt instead.

A friend just asked me to Wang Chung tonight, but I’ve got a sneaking suspicion he’s invited everybody.

it is ethical to pirate any piece of media you cannot legally purchase as new for love or money either due to it being out of print or unavailable in your country

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Someone asked me the other night what my fifth favourite piece of obscure Australian TV media is.

Again, can't say it's specifically my fifth favourite, but I reckon the ABC Bunny and Clock with "To Cut A Long Story Short" is easily Top Ten at least.

Rhys 📼 @flemishdog.bsky.social · 8d

I finally bugged @davidmgreen.bsky.social to give me a copy of the 198 ABC/Inside the Third Reich tape for two things.

One, this excellent instrumental of Spandau Ballet's "To Cut A Long Story Short"

I am Once Again putting it out there that @vhsrevue.bsky.social should be used as an educational resource because we were talking about aspect ratios in my Live Production class and I’m like “hell YEAH I know about aspect ratios!!!”

VHS Revue @vhsrevue.bsky.social · 4d

Hello! DMG here. I’m doing some more retrospective episodes for the Patrons & was thinking I might do a special Q&A one so if you want to ask me anything about VHS Revue (or anything else), email: [email protected] (can make it a video question if you like… as in, video yourself asking the Q)

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

I've come to realise that I'm not in my 20s anymore, and being able to come home late at night from a long TV show recording and long commute from Sydney and then go to work/TAFE a few hours later like nothing's happened is well and truly beyond me.
