They'll run out of band names one day

Had the Bubble Bobble theme stuck in my head all day

The whistles in Thomas the Tank Engine are mating calls. They're all actually a type of mechanical flightless bird. It's complicated and that bit isn't really explained because it's a kids show

Going to dress up as an AI generated image for Halloween (just going to wear bits of other people's costumes and none of it makes any sense)

Politics belongs in music. Here's 365 songs to have a bash at today:

Imagine if music didn't exist, miserable as fuck. It really is some of the strongest glue to bind us together both personally and interpersonally isn't it

More technology should look and behave like Star Wars technology: Rugged and repairable as fuck, able to be used and relatively easily maintained for decades and decades

Had the misfortune of a friend sharing a Threads link to me. The timeline in the Fediverse is absolutely unhinged and often anti-Black but fucking hell Threads is something else

Fuck, and I can not express this enough, every single for-profit "social" media company

Social media should belong solely to the people socialising within it, a socialist media, if you will :thinkergunsunglasses:

Local homeless charity posted a thing about my donations to their page this morning and a sound engineer I got out of the shit recently posted me a lovely thank you card with some tenners tucked in and a CD to say thanks for that too. Neither had to do that, but feels good x

For the people considering Mojeek as their next search engine after DuckDuckGo going all-in with AI products, please be aware they're a bunch of centrist free speech weirdos.
- They have a tool specifically to search Substack (why platform them so hard over anywhere else, I wonder!) https://blog.mojeek.com/2023/06/search-content-from-substacks-independent-writers.html
- Their tongue is so firmly up Elon Musk's arsehole that they're writing open love letters: https://blog.mojeek.com/2022/10/an-open-letter-to-elon.html
- They forgot to add a wink emoji to this trashfire: https://blog.mojeek.com/2022/05/freedom-to-seek-matters.html

@goran @lunarna @thanius Yes! They're a bunch of centrist free speech weirdos

@goran @lunarna @thanius For sure, I nearly fell into the same trap a few years ago too

@lunarna @thanius Super useful info, thanks

DuckDuckGo have built some AI chat garbage. How about Fuck Fuck No :spritz:

@siege I stumbled into an exhibition of wrestling stuff from ye olde days once! They had a load of costumes from Big Daddy and stuff on display, was really good!
