I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
A square, 4-panel comic, 2 panels at the top and 2 on the bottom. A small figure running from left to right, opening a lighter and torching the last panel border before running away again (to the left). Title at the top says "Nothing to see hereβ¦" Credits at the bottom: Rembrand Le Compte - rembrandx / rembo.me
Nothing to see hereβ¦
Saturday, a sailor on a US submarine off the coast of #Greenland was medically evacuated by #Denmark to be treated in a Nuuk hospital.
In case you're wondering why Trump is sending "a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, & not being taken care of there."

Took the bot to its logical conclusionβ¦
Is it cursed? Perhaps. What should I build next though?

Base coat and bit more detail work for the robot.
One of my old teachers passed away 2 weeks ago and it's made me think a lot about This episode of peopleWatching. I never got around to sending a letter.

Current state of the junk robot build: added details. Next time, it's cleaning & sanding so I can lay on a base coat and start painting.
A screenshot of the Idea generator's Story Prompt tab. It features a list of toggle switches and dropdowns for Characters, Action, Settings, Event and Objects. The generated result is for 2 Characters and 1 Setting, it says: Draw or write about this: a flaming skull and a bird, in the middle of the ocean.
Rebuilt my old 'idea generators' as 1 small React component. A nice exercise to test the changes in React 19 & keep the skills alive.
Play around with it here:

(Also sent me down a rabbit hole, figuring out what the hell they were thinking adding automatic form reset)
Building a robot from trash. So far: a kinder egg, soap dispenser parts, plastic chopsticks, toy car from said kinder egg, bits & bobs from stuff I don't even remember.

A lost opportunity to feature the 'Adams Family Values' :D
I can't relate to childhood celebration/escapism via nostalgia because mine was traumatic. But there are things I see as lights when the world was shit. There's value in those feelings. Not chasing the past but reminders of nice things in contrast with bad. Also some art is also just timeless.
That's a great point. I've tended to view the retro things I like, as celebrations of ingenuity and craft (typewriters, fountain pens, games, β¦) and in my own practice, to force focus (do more with less). I don't think there's anything wrong with some escapism but everything is about balance.
I was half expecting a white wig:

It's not about that. Screen time anywhere => more visibility => more media giving screen time. It's the old adage "All publicity is good publicity". Tom Nicholas has an excellent video on this, in the context of the far right in Britain.
βͺThe irony is that comedy programs like 'Have I got News for You' (pretty much carried by PE editor Ian Hislop) have a lot of responsibility for making scum like Farage a house hold name in the media. Satire is a double-edged sword.

It's a step up from the original Star Trek, where they were just dumb or horny. And that was great!

While 'Photo!' is a great project, I'm using the original Game Boy Camera software for taking pictures. Still has the best dithering. The most dramatic enhancement imo, is still a 3D-printed CS lens mount (or shell) & a cheap CS lens.
