Would you like to order a little picture of a robot? I'm offering commissions of existing robots in a new style that can use as icons for stuff or whatever you like! Prices start at £20 per picture. Contact me on here if you're interested.
Teabot - a robot in the form of a mug of tea with little tracks on either side - rolling up next to a stack of books with covers in different colours. The books are The Sign of the Four, Guards! Guards!, Feet of Clay, and A Study in Scarlet. The scene is against a background of a turquoise circle. Snakebot - a robot in the form of a snake, with a long, banded body and a little sphere on its tail - coiled up around itself, sticking out its forked tongue and looking kind of angry, against a background of a grey square. Crabbot - a robot in the form of a little crab with banded arms and legs and mitten-like claws - rearing up and holding its arms in the air angrily. The background is a grey circle. Bigbot, viewed from below, stomping along. The background is a pinkish rectangle and Bigbot seems to be smashing its way out, as one side of it is fragmented into pieces where it's been kicked.

what the actual fuck
A headline from the New York Times: Olivia Nuzzi Did It All For Love The article lede: By Jacob Bernstein Reporting from Los Angeles Nov. 14, 2025 Updated 12:07 p.m. ET Olivia Nuzzi loved him. She loved the politician, even though she was a political reporter and he was then a presidential candidate she had written about. She loved his eyes, "blue as the flame." She loved that "the sight of something as trivial as a rose" could move him to tears. She loved his insatiable appetites and his "particular complications and particular darkness." But she said "I love you" only after he said it first. He called her "Livvy" and wrote her poems. He said he wanted her to have his baby. He promised to take a bullet for her.

We really need food. I can hold off on eating but obviously my kids can’t. We’re also almost out of propane that helps heat our home and water . Please help I don’t want to be without these things because it takes a long time

you should go out of your way to use your trans friends' names when you talk to them

they chose their names and they feel it in their chests when they hear or see it

we waited our whole lives to hear our real names and it doesn't get old

I'm sure there are good reasons to do with light pollution that this is the case now, but there must be some middle ground between bright light beaming into the sky and pitch black residential streets.

Almost got into a situation on the road there because this FULLY LIT road is PITCH BLACK because of when the WHOLE UK switched about ten years ago to street lights that DONT LIGHT ANYTHING BUT THE 5cm OF EMPTY AIR AROUND THE BULB

We don't share our expertise with right-wing rags.
Dear Simon Apologies for barging into your inbox like this but I'm a journalist with the Daily Telegraph and Ive been asked to write about the ongoing problems at the British Library. Partly it's about the staff discontent in light of the recent departure of Rebecca Lawrence and the strikes, but its also necessarily about the ongoing ramifications of the cyber attack. As someone who knows an awful lot more about IT systems in academic environments than I do, would you be willing to talk to me about what has happened at the BL, and what it means for the future of academic research in general? I realise its now Friday afternoon, but I'm around Monday for most of the day if you are willing and that time suits you. I'd be extremely grateful if so.  Many thanks and best wishes Redacted Hi Redacted, Thanks for getting in touch. I'm a great person to talk to about this but I have no interest in talking to someone writing for the Daily Telegraph nor do I trust your paper to represent the story accurately. Have a good weekend, Simon

Not for nothing, this is one reason why we say "pregnant patient" instead of "woman." It's not just for non-binary inclusion.

In addition to the fact that it's very much the power imbalance and legal responsibility to protect them that makes them children, it's also disturbing that so many people are willingly like "listen, 15 year olds are hot, and that's a fact." They are children. They look like children.

Artists PLEASE I am begging you to use alt text on your art. I want to support you and RT your art but I'm not going to if it does have alt text, and there are so, so many people who feel the same

The age of consent (whatever it may be in whatever juridstiction) is a hard cut-off *precisely because of* the "well, a young teenager isn't the same as an actual child" type logic used by abusers since time immemorial.

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

Anyone who seeks power shouldn’t be allowed it. At this point, I’d be happy with everyone having a go for a week. We can, I don’t know, throw a bouquet or something.
