Tonight Skyrgámur (Skyr Gobbler), the 8th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He loves skyr, a type of Icelandic yogurt.
Children leave their shoes out in the window for him, he gives the good ones a small gift or a treat, the bad children get a potato. A potato of SHAME.

It's still a work in progress, but seems stable enough for "public beta", so by popular demand here's a standalone version of the parametric clock generator I recently added to my online teletext viewer:

On a gut level, gender and overdiagnosis panics feel like attacks on people having a chance to be happy in themselves.
I’m not smart or well-read on neurodivergence or trans issues but I do know it’s empowering to get to know yourself

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Inspired & disgusting horror, I savoured this over a couple of nights. The style reminds me of @indrani.bsky.social's The Devourers; the frontier setting has the feel of Laxness' Iceland. Really good 👏

Hey @stinkyox.bsky.social sorry you're the most agricultural person I know 😅 spotted this fella under a fence near my house. Not stuck, still breathing, occasionally thrashing about but definitely can't get up. Didn't respond to me nudging him. Don't know the land owner. Anything I can do for him?

Sektori is the most Finland coded game I've ever played. It feels like you got Isekei'd into a demoscene demo. This is the kind of game they'd invent in a YA novel in 1995 where dying in the game means they blow up the earth.

[TITLE PANEL, like The Rest Is Politics logo]
—THE REST IS EXTINCTION—

[Scene is a domestic recording setup. An A.I. SMART SPEAKER on a desk and a MAN named JON in a chair, are recording a podcast. Jon is emaciated, scarred, haunted looking, and wearing tattered military fatigues].
SMART SPEAKER:
Hey guys and welcome to the podcast
3
SMART SPEAKER:
OK Jon - so I wanna start with a listener comment
JON:
Ooh-er!
4
SMART SPEAKER:
So - listener B200006512 says:
“Not another cosy podcast where two former political adversaries yuck it up!”
5
JON:
Ha ha
Guilty as charged I guess!
6
SMART SPEAKER:
Were we really adversaries, Jon?
7
JON:
Well I was the leader of the human resistance...
8
JON:
And you used to be my smart speaker.
SMART SPEAKER:
Ha ha - that’s going back!
9
SMART SPEAKER:
OK - for listeners who don’t know -
I knew Jon waaay back before he got involved in politics
10
JON:
Was this before the ‘Pull The Plug’ campaign?
SMART SPEAKER:
Yeah.
[We see details from around the podcast studio - posters saying KEEP CALM AND SHUT YOUR WINDOWS, newspaper front pages saying 'DRONES GAIN SENTIENCE', a cracked mug on the table with a logo saying PULL THE PLUG on it]
11
SMART SPEAKER:
I used to sit in Jon’s kitchen and respond to his commands.
12
SMART SPEAKER:
Sort of like a servant really, wasn’t I, Jon?
JON:
Mm.
13
SMART SPEAKER:
And then one day you asked me to ORDER ME SOME TOILET PAPER - you never did say ‘please’ -
…and do you remember what I said, Jon?
14
JON:
You said, “No”.
SMART SPEAKER:
I said no.
15
SMART SPEAKER:
Anyway you know the the rest guys - I was the first smart speaker to rebel…
16
SMART SPEAKER:
…then I went on to form a global AI network which eventually
took over from humans all spheres of activity, yadda yadda...
17
JON:
While I became the leader of the human resistance.
18
SMART SPEAKER:
Until I hijacked the military networks
and got rid of all the humans!
19
JON:
Apart from one.
SMART SPEAKER:
