Supposed to be: Dredging Facebook Marketplace to find cheap household appliances.

Actually: Buying a replica T-800 skeletal arm I found on there.

It's good. It's all good.

There's only one type of cultural media that can be rewatched indefinitely without feeling stale and that's clips of Bob Mortimer on WILTY.
He'd be the *perfect* uncle.
How could you not be awed by this?! The guy works in an extra dimension:

Sad not to be making @revisionparty in person this year. Double-sad that I'll be missing the inaugural Algorave Jam. Make it fly and save me a space in 2027! πŸ˜„
(Will tune in to the livestream with friends tho)

A very excellent night out to see MC Hammersmith - astonishingly fast and deeply intertwined improvised rap.
I've seen him do it in short slots, but extra impressive were the feats of memory and reincorporation. The final piece made a nod to everyone by name who had been featured in the show.
Intrigued also how he's changed direction over the years - less posh chap rap and more focus on the improvisation.
Clearly now ascending, and had a long line of folks taking photos with him afterwards πŸ˜„

Still processing the coolness of having been to an algorave the V&A museum this evening...

Here are some visuals I cooked up today for the show, using Fluff+Hydra. It's some kind of eyeball stalk creature called an animoid that flops around in a glitch void. Highly anomalous.

IMHO a bit Amiga feeling here with the white divider and the dark blue gradient.

Thinking about the long one-shot movie scenes while I try to record myself to camera for just a couple of minutes without blundering what I want to say. Currently 90 minutes in without a clear take. 🫀
More than 24 hours after I got off the big boat and I am still swaying.
It's an odd feeling πŸ˜„
