You know, one of the best things about photo-editing is playing a game of "is that speck of dust on the thing in the photo or on my screen?"

Oh dear. I think Kat asking me about my potential desire for sausages has woken my stomach up. It's almost like she thinks I've forgotten to eat the entire time she's been asleep...

So, allegedly only (hah!) 225 DIY minifigs, out of 775, left to have their photos tidied up, text added, etc.. Getting somewhere, I think to myself.
Until I remember there's probably 30 or so that still need photographing. And some rework on some custom-painted bits and, and...
Why do I do this?

Not having the first damn clue about what SEC Championship was about, having seen it trending, my first thought was "Oh! Do they have a competition for Year's Biggest Fraudster, or some-such?"
Disappointed to discover that it's just 'football.'

I should try that sleep thing. Not sure how well that will go given I keep chuckling at having referred to a now non-existent far-right podcaster as a not very good Pez dispenser, single-use, gone to landfill.

If, when this all inevitably implodes, there is talk of bailouts, we need to break some shit. They want us to let them erase our humanity and kill the planet. Time to take a lesson from the French.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Which Myst Uru dev thought the time one has to wait for $thing to happen after "Rest[ing] in the light" should be 14 minutes? If I rest in the light any bleedin' longer, after umpteen tries, I'll be permanently resting! Climbed the curtains. Maybe even gone to join the choir invisibule 💀 AAAARGH! 👿

<sees Stephen Miller, NATO and the CDC trending> So, what fresh new hell have I awoken to today...? I mean, that's like maybe three out of the four Horsemen... That said, one could probably argue that Miller is all of them rolled into one. I'm sure he'd like that.

Call me a philistine if you wish but mozzarella on toast is delicious. It's also the business on crumpets.

Thank you Internet of Stupid. Tidying up a photo of a Lego droid minifigure and my brain will not stop giving me "Buttbuttination Droid" as I type the filename, like it's digging me in the ribs and whispering "Go on..." No.

So who's stupid idea was it to take photos of every single one of my DIY minifigs and then determinedly edit out every single speck of dust from every single one because autism?
Actually, I think I might have answered my own question there...

Well done, people of New York! (Except Staten Island, obviously). And all the other people who've elected Dems in various places. Maybe now more people will get the idea that, if you do vote, you really can change things. And I hope politicians out here in the rest of the world take note.

I'm not sure I have adequate quantities of This for... this. Why can we not have stuff that works, doesn't require a bullshit subscription, and doesn't have 'AI' forced into it for no good reason? And we're supposed to pay through the nose for this garbage, too. I'll stick with old stuff that works.

Yay for the start of November in the UK 😒 It's 1:44 of the a.m. and some oik is still letting off fireworks. I swear it gets to like the middle of October and it starts to sound like WW3 commencing before it's even dark, every damn day through to mid November.

Since I've been crap and still don't have anything new to post, I guess a half-hearted attempt to join in with spooky season will have to do. So, here's one I made earlier... (no sticky-backed plastic or loo-roll tubes, though)

It's #MinifigMonday and, for entry no. 10 (!), the theme is love, if a little twisted and monochromatic. Spooky Boy and Spooky Girl have a date in the haunted old cemetery. He's brought flowers but is nervous as she's a little older than him and rather serious. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation #Goth
