I honestly don't know if I've learned that much... Certainly I still fail to understand gendered linguistics 🤷

I pay for ChatGPT (Yes, I'm 'that' guy... Sorry not sorry, it's a useful tool)

Do I deserve to PAY to see adverts?

If your avatar is in the 'most interacted' - then thanks for making the internet more awesome. Have a star: ⭐

As you can see from my 0.16 emoji per-post, that star is quite special! (just like anyone reading this!)

And lastly- Did I tell you that I wrote a book? & that I like games... ? #Wordcloud

I don't mean to boast, but most streamers out there simply do not compare... #Twitch

I don't know how I find time to fit it all in <\s>

Good for her, when I've been on crowded trains, sitting of any kind was impossible!

I've literally stood in the toilet with three other people for an hour on one journey I made...

I think I found why everything has gone to shit...

These were pulled from sale in 2019... Just saying helluva coincidence if you think about it...

Also WTF - Tooty Frooties were pulled from sale!? 😮 All the gods have forsaken us.

Can I just point out how very delightful this is, the rhymes are quirky, the prose is brilliant and it all makes glorious sense!

A huge thanks to @skullqueen.bsky.social for making me snort out in laughter at reading it.

A limerick poem by Sarah Cawkwell, it reads: A satsuma, it is often said, Is orange and definitely not red. So it's now set in rhyme, Which is rather sublime, (Man, I should have done donkeys instead).

Had a rather fun day out at the Xmas fair in Grimsby town, lots of nice treats and some good music to cheat away the drizzle.

Been watching Future Man on Netflix recently... and it's honestly quite annoying that Eliza Coupe wasn't cast as Lilith / Firehawk in Borderlands...

Her portrayal of 'Tiger' in a post apocalyptic setting was really good.

I decided to add the hair flair of my own doing so this is my headcanon now.

I love that the modern internet is so HEAVILY reliant on two centralised services (AWS/Cloudflare) so that disruption is total when one or the other experiences a small glitch...

This in no way affects my ability to maintain my hobbies, work or socialising which are now all 'online' 😐

I love how positive John Oliver is, and I love how much people support what he does and stands for, and I especially love that this piece of Bob Ross artwork is hurtling toward a million dollars by charity auction - helping put dollars into PBS for the USA @ JohnOliversJunk.com (US visitors only) ♥️

Serious question for serious people...

Pink Shrimps, Erect Nipple Mushrooms or Banana's ?

And, bonus points: why are you wrong about your choice?

No Judgement...

Well, perhaps a teeny-tiny bit of judgement...

A new month arrives, and I send off another payment toward completing my book publication.

Still seeking the crowdfunding support of any #Booksky readers that enjoy cyberpunk or near-future dystopia

I may not be a known or big author, but I'm proud of what I've made.

I was trying to finish a proper large ork model for #Orktober but I don't see that I'll finish in time, instead please enjoy these #OldHammer Freebooter Ork boys from my collection.
