Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace!
A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

Just catching up on what I missed at AGDQ and it was great to see @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and EITB get a shoutout by @adef.bsky.social! And during a run of my favourite Pokémon game too 😃

Did I rip off a Ze Frank video for my own??
No, but it’s a good excuse to talk about what is and isn’t copying in the world of science videos!

Happy new year from down under!
What I've learnt so far in 2026 is that timing isn't the strong suit of firework operators.. heard/saw a bunch in different places go off way too early!

Just found out that the worst "newspaper" imaginable used an image of me for their article 🤮
And I can't even add a watermark or anything to it because it's a screenshot of a TV broadcast..
Fuck The Sun. #JFT97

Just as a heads up, I'm aware of a new Hank thing but won't be able to update the site for a while as I'm travelling today! If my Shinkansen has good enough wifi, I'll try to do it then.

Had an incredible time at #PAXAus this past weekend!
My absolute favourite part of PAX each year is constantly running into people I know. Including catching up with old friends, and making new ones! And it was no different this year.
Thank to everyone who made the whole weekend special!

I had posted this on the bird site back in March 2022 but for posterity I'm posting it here now for reasons..
Anyway, throwback to when I was interviewed on the news in Perth and took the chance to rep LFC hehe.
It was over Zoom as I had already moved to Melbourne at that point.

Just watched the Socceroos play NZ and loved hearing the interview with the goalscorer Max Balard afterwards; his parents are French and you can occasionally hear it in his Aussie accent 😂
