— Weird Al Yankovic's film, UHF, is coming to 4K.

Me: Yay!

— It's being released by Shout Factory in the US.

Me: Oh bugger, import costs.

— It comes with posters, magnets, and other pointless gubbins.

Me: I just want the film! Who needs a 6” high UHF Remote Control Stress Relief Collectible!? What are the extras?

— Don't know, they're currently in production and the set will cost $130.

Me: ARRGGHHH!

Gonna grit my teeth and do some “marketing” tomorrow I think, see if I can get any content creators to check out @manyfold. I’m telling you lot so I have to do it and can’t procrastinate my way out of it.

My neighbour was about to put this suit on Vinted, I took it off his hands and wore it out for the first time yesterday. It was a Smash Hit

@pikesley that is SUPERB. I assume you’ll be doing your @emf talk in that.

@Bobbins my cat has never blown up my nuclear reactor. Not once. That speaks for itself.

Wild how the Patriarchy, a system designed by, and for the benefit of, uptight middle-aged straight white cis men, has singularly failed to make any of them happy

@pikesley “This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.”

@pikesley @otfrom jizz surrounds us and penetrates us; it sticks the galaxy together.

@otfrom @pikesley this is just like the time they introduced a droid called Bollux.

@pikesley @otfrom that’s no hypothesis.

It was a coincidence, but I just had a long-scheduled chat with 2 people from the Centre for Alternative Technology about them adopting Mastodon.

They seemed pretty positive....watch this space!

Got sleep. Actual sleep. Watch says it was "Good". Why do I feel so bleh?

@rgarner because your subconscious is reminding you that you could have used that time being an economically productive member of society and building shareholder value why do you hate freedom

@pikesley when I was at uni, CORBA was gonna be the next big thing, along with ATM networks. Those are two textbooks that weren’t worth the money in the long run.

I think this might be the first OctoPrint release that ever triggered a post on all3dp 🤔 I'm not sure what to think about the fact that I needed to add achievements for that to happen 😂

@foosel right, I know what I need to add in the next version of @manyfold then 😆
