Did you ever have a classmate that pretended to be a vampire or some other supernatural creature? How much did they commit to it?

I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.

Here's what the fans are saying about my recent album:

"Synthesizes the vocabulary of electro-industrial and dub into a vibrant, hallucinatory sea to swim or drown in" - Nikki

"Sounds like the best scifi videogame the Amiga 2000 could ever hope to muster" - Groove M.D.

"Techno apocalypse vibes" - slaughtersongsfan

Everyone is weird.
Some of us are proud of it..

Would you wear a red hat like this to a pub/bar or social event?

I was always known as the Hat Guy, even in DJ business.

This was taken in Ottawa on my birthday, and to celebrate with me, everyone at the bar wore a hat, some gave them to me later

Stay Weird.

Jeff Minter is of course a retrogaming legend, but I dare to say that level 5 of our Amiga game Hoi (1992) wins when it comes to psychedelic gaming… 😎

The level is also a very taxing task for Amiga emulators and video compression algorithms. 😁

TIL that someone invented a barometer in the mid-19th century that used leeches. Yes, leeches!

It's hard to find an audience for your music if you don't fit the mold and feed the algorithm. My music doesn't fit any mold and repels every algorithm it comes into contact with. So if it's going to be heard, if YOU'RE going to hear it, you'll have to make a conscious choice to click thru when I post it. Like this:

And hey, you could boost it, too! No algorithm to feed here, just people sharing stuff they like!

In my badger related nostalgia blast today I revisited my first post on b3ta.

It was Jan 2003, an entry into a "Hats of the future" challenge where I claimed hats would be gloves because I'd replaced a head with a hand. Quite badly.

I'd then saved it as a gif, which is a decision that puzzles me to this day, but it might have been saving file size. We had very limited bandwidth back then.

https://b3ta.com/board/632338#post632338

Anyhow, today I finally made it wave.

A photo of a person with a hand for a head. The hand has a smiling face, and periodically blinks (it troubled me when they just stared, altho' the regularity of the blink is also a little off-putting). They wear a white t-shirt with my wee logo on it in some bizarre form of self promotion. The hand is waving on a loop.

My wife does these paid online surveys and they sometimes ask these totally weird, inane questions. Companies are so out of touch with people, they really think we have this strong of relationships with brands and products. It's beyond weird. She's started answering questions like these with hilarious responses when they're this dumb. 🤣

When fake bears are actually real bears. 🤪

Hard to believe that people actually believed this was a human in a bear costume??

BTW that's a Sun Bear 👋
As usual we Malaysians go viral for the wrong reasons 🤣

Just walked into the kitchen to find this sitting on the countertop. It's not even 8:30 in the morning, and this is sitting in the kitchen on the countertop. Why is this just sitting here in the kitchen on the countertop. Who did this

While putting my garbage out, my phone was playing a long 50-60s Rock N Roll compilation & I'm always wearing my headphones, oblivious to the people around me. Chuck Berry started.. I felt my hip move.. then the other leg, then, I had a pretty good dance going on in the driveway, sorting recyclables & putting them curbside. I looked around at drivers, staring at me, so I stopped for a sec, but before I got back to the door, Chubby Checker. lower now ♪ inside.
& PROUD OF IT!

Last time I made paper I had some pulp left over so I put it into this heart mold I had and now I have paper pulp hearts and I feel like the only appropriate thing to do is light them ablaze and let them burn...

But I am open to other suggestions.

I shot this video and wrote this short verse about it:

Hooks of shadow
move clockwise and counter
one creeping slowly;
One waiting--one surmounter

Hooks of shadow,
reaper adumbration;
second by second
plotting our negation

Hooks of shadow
on a brickfaced screen
whispering of
the guillotine

If you haven't checked in on Metaphysical Shitposting since its release (or maybe not at all), it's time to have another (or first) listen. The album-in-progress has, as promised, continued to progress! The original pair of tracks has grown to 5! But that price is still just $3 --- for now! 5 lofi tracks of spacy weirdness and weird sound design for your enjoyment.

Please listen and boost!

Good piece on these mysterious Roman dodecahedrons. More than 100 of these have been found around Europe and no one really knows what they were used for. More tests are being done on them. They're metal, and have survived undamaged for over 1700 years 🤯

I really need to figure out why my website becomes unresponsive every time I post from my @alberniweather account. It's always for exactly 3 minutes. I've turned off the ActivityPub integration but it still does it.

What the hell is going on with Delaware speed limits? Is there a scientific reason behind this or did the developers just go bananas?

Speed limit sign says 21 mph
