A striking ochre naked woman on a vivid blue background 
Its made from ink that drips and pools
She is seated and squashed tight against the page
On her left forearm are sailor tattoos of mermaids

A striking ochre naked woman on a vivid blue background Its made from ink that drips and pools She is seated and squashed tight against the page On her left forearm are sailor tattoos of mermaids

This is Hans Chrisian Anderson's little mermaid

This is the moment when she realised she gave up her voice, her power, her freedom for a man that never loved her

She realises the witch was right and threw herself into the ocean to be consumed

When you see the foam on the waves think of her

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

We should just start calling all Ray Bans pervert glasses. Why should they get away with it?

I don't think there was ever formal censorship of records like there is for films and was for books, so I'm not sure what they mean by saying the record was banned. I suspect at most it was that record shops took it off the shelves but I suspect they might still have sold it to broad-minded punters.

Tragic Magic, by Mary Lattimore & Julianna Barwick 7 track album

Someone once described Julianna Barwick somewhat dismissively as making the kind of music I like. Listening now to Tragic Magic, her brilliant album with Mary Lattimore, I have to admit that they were not wrong.

Is Caturday a thing here or is that just Mastodon? Anyway here are some pictures of my cat staring at me in the hope that it will make food appear in her bowl. It often does.

Ukraine: Tankie Logic 1.The USA and NATO are bad. 2. The USA and NATO oppose Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 3. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is therefore good. 1. NATO is bad. 2. The Ukrainian government wants…

This has been all proven logically.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

When did the Americans start giving stupid names to their military operations? They used to have fairly neutral names like Torch, Anvil, Overlord, etc. but now it's all Enduring Wankfest, Ultimate Cockfarm, Powerful Blast of Wind and so on.

When he put it to them that he had paid good money to hear Kraftwerk and not to hear their inane chit chat and suggested they shut it, one of them retorted with "Well if you don't want to hear us talk you can go stand somewhere else"
