There’s a hole in our lounge floor where we had a wall removed, so before we get new carpet laid, I thought I’d make a little something to fill it. Then years in the future when the next owners replace the carpet… they’ll crap themselves. You’re welcome, future people I don’t know 😂😈👁️ #creepy #craft

A.I. is popular because it gives you the experience of being a boss: you get to give annoyingly specific instructions about how to do something you don't actually know how to do yourself, and then claim credit for the end result.

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar

A story about an immigrant who moves to America after his own home has become too dangerous to live in, and while he very much just wants to blend in with those around him, he also wants to help make the place better using the skills he has arrived with... 1/2

As the saying goes, when life gives you teapots… make teapot houses.

Hey, here's something kinda wild. We haven’t really shared this story outside of close circles, but this morning I woke up and chose “trouble” 😂😬 Strap in! 1/6

Wait… so would this clean my toilet or just fill it with bullshit?

Made this creature (The Ego Worm) based on a sketch by fellow Muk @wethesqueemish.bsky.social. It’s for something secrety secret at the moment… but it was very fun to make. #sculpy #creaturedesign #creature #worm

This Musk-Busters design is available on stuff via the redbubble link in my bio... unless the richest man in the world sicks his lawyers on me.

So we inherited an (almost) life size Santa and we store it in our guest house bedroom and Stacey decided putting a sheet over it was a smart idea and now I fill my pants every time I open the door to the room. (2nd image to show what my brain really sees) #ghost #scary #paranormal

As I was leaving San Diego for the airport, a guy ran up to me excitedly and said “holy shit, you’re the guy from The Hangover. I love those movies!”. Now, I like to think he thought I was Bradley Cooper… but we all know he meant Zach Galifianakis.

It’s wild to me that so many people feared and subscribed to a right-wing conspiracy theory that a cabal of elites was working behind the scenes to orchestrate global events.
And then they… voted for it.

Woo!! ITV will be the home of Badjelly in the UK. Stay tuned for release date soon!

If you're a fan of dark comedy/horror/thrillers/cabin in the woods movies, then I HIGHLY recommend 'Companion'. Don't watch a trailer or even look at the poster as they are spoilery. Although, I had seen them and I still had a blast. Can't wait to see what Drew Hancock does next.

Loved Nosferatu… not sure a sequel is necessary though 😜

Just introduced my kids to Return to Oz. It’s aged so well. It’s still perfectly dark and magical and fun… and Fairuza Balk as Dorothy is outstanding.
