I saw The Wild Robot last night, and rarely has a film ever felt so close to my heart.
So much beauty and sweetness, but well balanced with some dark wit and mortality themes. It all blends so poignantly, and so many times during the movie I just felt so profoundly in love with it.
Also havenโt cried this much in a long time, but if that sounds like a warning or a negative, it isnโt. This movie couldnโt have come at a better time, and I hope it makes a billion because it should.
As I've been meaning to post for a few days now:
Aw. :(
(I was really getting into that, catching up on it every day, was even planning to do an audiobook-like reading of it. Oh well. :/)
Hey readers, thanks for joining me on this journey, but I'm going to terminate it here. My goal was to write a minimum 500 words a day every day WITHOUT EXCEPTION, proving to myself I could be consistent. (...)Royal Road

You know how we have Torment Nexus at home? Well it seems to be the same torment nexus, it's just pretending to be a TV.
X use has been plunging, dropping and then plunging some more in both the US and UK since May 2023. No suprise there, but good to see it quantified.
If May 2033 = 100, then UK users now down to below 70.
The post is from Scientists for EU which is usually fairly reputable.
#Musk typing his rightwing political opinions about inciting civil war whilst (allegedly) in a ketamine haze have been noted and the grown ups have left the building.
Protip: If you live in an area with mosquito-borne diseases, fursuits provide a thick barrier of fur between you and the biting insects. Wear your fursuit outside as PPE!
So the U.S. government is considering banning certain parts for connected cars, (which is virtually all cars now,) from Russia and China because they don't want them to have the ability to use cars sold in the U.S. for spying purposes.
Maybe if we didn't let our car makers turn our cars into spyware on wheels this wouldn't be an issue eh? Anyone ever think of that?
How can you read this!? There's no pictures!
Little concerned wah on acrylics over a super boring book about politics.
Long story short: I had ordered a book on Amazon and I received a completely different one, when I claimed for the mistake, they refunded me instead, not even asking for the mistaken book back. I quickly researched how much it was that book worth, it was only 14mxn (less than $1usd), so I had on my hands a boring book that I was not going to read it and I couldn't sell it back, so I decided to turn it in an art piece.
It may be exhibited at the MFF Art Show.
"And a princess' kiss will lift your curse and turn you back into a prince?" the princess said, bending down.
"No," the frog sighed. "I'm a milkmaid."
The princess paused. "Er... I'll get my brother."
"Is he a princess?"
The princess bent down again. "If it's for a good cause..."
My lawn is apparently a fungus-producing *machine*!
(6 pictures attached. I rather like the last two, so view on original instance if you don't see those ones.)
Last Thursday night I got home (to the new house, having visited the old house) really late, actually so late it was Friday morning. 2:30am, to be precise. The motorcycle ride back was annoying because I had a lot of trouble keeping my visor clear enough to see where I was going. I had to stop and clean everything half way and it wasn't obvious whether it was my glasses steaming up, visor steaming up, pinlock coming away from the visor and steaming up between the two, or just damp on the outside of the visor! In the end it was probably a combo of all those.
Once I got back and took my helmet off I could see just how wet the air is - I even got this bit of video clearly showing droplets just hanging in the beam of my headlights and streaming around in the breeze!
I lost a post I was submitting to a supplier's ticketing system today. Wrote it, spent ages rewriting and trying to get it the least embarrasingly awful I could, got second opinions, and finally clicked "submit". And ended up at a login page because my session had timed out, the post having vanished.
In the end I could retype the whole thing with no problem because I'd taken a photo of it on my phone as that was the easiest way to read it to my dad downstairs to get his opinion on it!
Backup-by-photograph. Ha.
If you don't think Privacy is one of the most important things right now, watch this.
Every major car manufacturer does this. Every... single... one..
I hate this shit, it's why I've sworn off buying any car new enough to have this bullshit in it.

MBiDL is an action adventure game set in the WonderBoy universe. It is written in 68000 assembler for Atari ST.itch.io
@Renbymon ๐๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ Aah, could be. I think when I searched I may have found the Raiden from Mortal Kombat instead!
(I am so unfamiliar with that whole generation of games - before university I was an Atari-only zone, then I basically stopped playing commercial games completely when I was at university in the 90s and only gradually started again in the last ~15 years, I think about when Portal came out, and even then mostly small indie stuff.)
