Trying to find prints to frame and the amount of convincing-at-first-glance AI slop out there is wild. Even Etsy’s drowning in it. Does no one get the ick from this? If retailers insist on plopping our GenAI *to buy*, at least label it so real artists and craftspeople don’t get lost in the noise.

Now that I've heard Noddy Holder's war cry of "IT'S CRISSSSSSSMIIIIIIISS!" for the first time this year, that makes it official. The seal is now broken. #TOTP

Just found out they're opening an Eggslut in Manchester in 2026. And I've also had a glimpse of my future from 2026.

You know those £12 sausages they're selling at Manchester's German Christmas Markets? Yeah, they're from Costco, and the person serving it is from Barnsley.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.
It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

Does manifesting work? If so, here’s to manifesting a 2026 with a massive reduction in bullshit. And if that fails, I’ll just work on being less permeable to it.

I mean, I love 'em and The Star Beast is a true gem to watch. But £45?!! You can stick a "for kids aged 5+" label on it all you like, at that price, it’s one for the collectors only, surely? character-online.com/products/doc...

Happy #DoctorWho Day. I'm going to celebrate by watching my favourite Doctor, "David Burton", as he faces The Monsters of Ness and travels through time and space in his trusty TARDIS disguised as a red telephone kiosk, all of which was definitely recorded in 1991 and not a hoax.

Went from having one contract cut short to getting offered another one in the same week.
Also grew a new grey hair on my bonce. Coincidence?
Anyway, looks like a 'challenging' one, but it will keep me busy until April, so that's nice.
Phew.
