Sneaky lunchtime Lego build in the office 🥰

#lego #starwars #darthmaul #mech
A Lego Darth Maul mini-fig stands piloting a humanoid mech designed for him. The chest folds down to allow him access and his head is visible atop the mech body. According to Sith chic, the mech is black and red and shares Maul's spiky aesthetic. It is holding a larger scale version of his signature double lightsaber.

I've gone ergonomic!

The awful, sleep-disrupting twinge-pain-at-certain-arm-angles in my right shoulder has gone but that wrist and now even my hand are now complaining so much that I've decided to [finally] give them some much needed attention. OUT, foul […]

An ergonomic mouse is kind of a high mound rather than a flat one, with the buttons angled on the right-hand side of it and an indent for your thumb to rest comfortably on the left. Imagine holding a book vertically - your hand is in a similar position and shape, taking that awful kink/bend out of your wrist. It looks and sounds weird but I'm here to tell you it is surprisingly natural to use. A keyboard from top down. It had slipt the letters into two angled groups with an inverted V shape between them, angling them left and right so your wrists aren't having to angle your hands straight constantly to type. There is a generous wrist rest on the bottom edge of the keyboard and this version has backlighting too. Backlighting is very useful in low-light environments.

Another key to my figuring this out was weighing myself every day. General advice poo-poos this because apparently it demoralises. But if I hadn't had the results documented, I wouldn't have had that direct feedback I could link with my dietary intake.

And […]

A Stranger Things meme about an IT dad joke. The image shows Will Byers turning away from Mike Wheeler to cry in the back of a car. The text above reads: There did the IT guy go? He probably Ransomeware.

Let's talk TV - you talk some TV?

**Ironheart** (Disney+)(1 Season, 6 Episodes)
Marvel's latest TV outing trailing _well_ behind Riri William's introduction in **Wakanda Forever**. It's not bad but not great either, very Marvel these days. Riri encounters dark […]

A stunning piece of promotional artwork for Marvel's IronHeart. Riri Williams, a young girl of colour, is seen head only while she is surrounded by the extruded floating pieces of her latest IronHeart suit. It's a very painterly image, rendered in very beautiful, rich colour. This one is unspoiled by any text whatsoever. A screengrab from The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy adult cartoon, showing both Klak and Sleech in their usual hospital green surgery gowns. Klax is a light blue alien with three eyes (and glasses) and a kind of fluffy beehive hairdo in a pale orange colour. Sleech, on the right, is more lizardly in appearance with lilac skin and dark purple hair, almost tentacles, and a tri of small spines protruding from behind each ear. Besties for life, these two. Awww.

#kde #wallpaper #animated #shaders
A fullscreen screenshot 1920x1080 of a CG rendered blue heart surrounded by a nimbus of light, and ringed by a colourful ribbon of energetic plasma in yellows, blues and hot pinks. This is a Wallper extension available for KDE called Shaders. It runs gloriously smooth animated scenes as your desktop wallpaper. But I like the look of this one so much I've saved a static copy to share!

Took me about a day to settle back into KDE, get it working as I wanted. One of the nice things I've managed this time is getting a setup that has achieved an old goal - having the weather temperature in both Celsius and Farenheit simultaneously. I've achieved […]

My Takeaway:
A variant of the famous Drake meme but featuring a cartoon flower instead of that guy. The Cartoon flower is reacting begatively to: "TACO TUESDAY" The Cartoon flower is smiling because of "CHINESE CHOOSEDAY" I am choosing a Chinese takeaway tonight instead of Mexican, is the very banal reason for this creative work.

The Kermit Staring Out of the Winow meme. But not presented in the usual meme format, no. It only bears the word "Dreich" at the bottom, a Socts word describing that miserable, grey, overcast rain that falls where the whole world feels soggy and joyless. Pronouced "Dreech", the see aitch at the end being that lovely Scottish rolling dry strangle noise instead of the chirpy English form.

Jennifer Connelly in Dark City. We first meet her singing in a Jazz club. She's standing in a spotlight by a standing microphone, in a dreen sleeveless dress. Her hair falls either side in luxurious waves and yes this Alt Text writer now needs a cold shower. Sorry.

The problem with aligning your circadian rhythm to the ancient pattern of sunrise and sunset is that suddenly you have no defence against any kind of darkness.

Put me in a dark cupboard and I may never again walk this Earth. It's like living with Dark City's Mr […]

A noirish villain in black trilby and trenchcoat waves his leather-gloved hand and bids you to "sleeeep" using his spooky alien Mind powers. It's the famously bald Richard O Brien in Dark City, the most excellent sci-fi starring Rufus Sewell and every 80's-male monkey-spank fantasy, Jennifer Connelly.

#lovedeathandrobots #closeencountersoftheminikind #scotland #edinburgh
A scene from the amazing Love Death and Robots short film, Close Encounters of the Mini Kind. It depcts an alien invasion as illustrated by tiny figures. This particular scene instantly won my heart being recognisably an Edinburgh location I know and love, the street outside the famous pub, Greyfriars Bobby. Here, some drinkers have spoilled out into the street to have a fight with an alien invader. A lady has just blown the alien to pieces and she and another scottish man are celebrating, as only Scots do.

A topless figure covered with a large black body tattoo depicting her wolf totem stands in butt pose, facing away but turned slightly to show a little naked side boob. She is of asian appearance. She is a future warrior bred for this contest of battling Styrakasuarus on a sandy orbital halo sited above Jupiter's moon, Europa. The rim of a beast's horn ridge can be seen behind her, as can the rim of the orbital halo and above that the stars against the pitch black of space.

#lovedeathandrobots #​:ms_red_heart:​❌🤖 #400boys #primalscream #trainspotting
A still from episode 4 of the 4th season of Love Death and Robots, entitled 400 Boys. It's an cartoon animated piece, in an apocalyptic future after nuclear war where demons in the form of monstrous Giant 20 foot tall Babies roam and smash everything they see. A lone human gang member faces one by himself against a backdrop of a burning, shattered, skeletal city.

Sent this to my brother. His response:

"Nice crowbar. Does it come in a set with a dead Jason Todd?"

...I may now be planning the darkest, bloodiest Lego photo ever taken.

#batman #joker #robin #lego #dark
A photograph I've taken of the Lego Joker figure, this one modelled on the classic Cesar Romero version from the 1960's TV show. He's wearing a pink suit with green shirt and cravat, and he's holding a red crowbar in his left hand and a large blue gem in his right. The image is tilted alarmingly to the right suggesting his insanity.

**Fry** : (in space, frightened) "It's a spaceship graveyard! Why did we have to come here at night??"
- _Season 6 episode 15_ , _Mobius Dick_

I'd forgotten how good Futurama can be. 😁

#futurama
A scene from Futurama's Mobius Dick episode. Bender, Fry, Amy, Leela and Hermes are in a row on the bridge of the Planet Express ship, looking out the window at the spaceship graveyard. Fry is looking nervous and everyone else is giving him sardonic side-eye.

A photo taken by a lakeside in early morning. The water is glassy smooth, disrupted only by a Swan gliding from left to right. The sky is blue with fluffy clouds, both that and a golden sun reflected in the perfect water. Vegatation encroaches on the image top and to the left. A small dock juts out on the right.

Sting and Cher are mages now.

#oblivionremastered #adventuresinoblivion
A photo of two mages in the Imperial City Mages Guild HQ. The one centered, speaking to the floating camera, looks very much like ex-Police band member Sting, he of the five-hour tantric sex capabilities. To his left, over his right shoulder, is a tall female Elf mage very much resembling celebrated singing legend, Cher. I can't wait to hear what they're collaboratng on.
