A portrait of a friend. Dip pen, October 2026.
I love your style. Nice economy of line, selective colour… I’ve gone back through a few of your posts and you have real talent! Keep it up :)

How has that turned out for you in later life? Do you look older than people your age or does it make no difference? Do you think it helped you in any ways?

Interesting.
I asked because people have always perceived me as 10yrs younger, which has a lot of advantages.
Even now, in my 50s, people think I’m in my early 40s.
I too was insanely active, all the time. To the point where I have so many injuries from high risk sports a doctor said I’d technically qualify as disabled.
Less active now (I can’t run as I could) so I expect I’ll be putting on weight soon.
I frankly never expected to reach this age, was convinced I’d die young. Still a bit surprised by my own stamina - but having kids ages you a bit, and also keeps you active so it balances out.

‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit
Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether without access to their favorite browsing apps. But according to data from the website analytics firm SimilarWeb, traffic has largely remained consistent to the platform, aside from a pronounced dip during the blackout
Dozens of us!

This laptop released in 2016 no longer receive OS updates. Which means I can't update Chrome Browser
Came here to recommend nuking it with Linux to get a much slicker experience but I see everyone else had the same idea.
Also gtf off chrome.

Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years
These marketing types shouldn’t be allowed to call anything ‘indestructible’ until they’ve given it to my kid to play with for a week.

Love Burnout
These apps seem to encourage ‘transactional’ behaviour. Less so in my experience irl. Best formula someone gave me was: get involved with something you enjoy, a club or activity. Meet people through this. Get to know them with the pressure off (as you’re enjoying whatever the activity is). Meet people through activities to form proper relationships, was his take.
I’d love to know if this has actually worked for someone.

U.S. ‘prepper’ culture diversifies amid fear of disaster and political unrest
My grandmother had her own vegetable garden, and kept a full pantry, rotating out canned, preserved and dried food properly, had candles, water collection, all sorts of stuff.
What they call prepping nowadays was once simply common sense.
I feel this will become more mainstream in decades to come.
The mallninja knives and other such fluff are bizarre though.

Would’ve loved this to be real.
The App Store reviews though. Great stuff.

Ivanka Trump asks to pause NY fraud trial, says testimony during ‘school week’ creates ‘undue hardship’
Lol what. As a parent, school times are when you can actually get shit done. Half term/school holidays are when you have the least free time.
This is of course assuming one doesn’t have staff, as she clearly will. What unmitigated bollocks.

Teardown Confirms the Trump Phone Is a Gold-Painted HTC U24 Pro
Reply in thread
Another great snip:
a phone designed in China, made in China, with the vast majority of parts sourced from China. I’m failing to find any stirring of American pride within me. I’ve certainly felt it before, so I can confirm that it is absent at this time.

Is this your king?!
Ok I’m sorry for the hyperbole but this is the first time I’ve seen this.
This, is a work of modern shitposting art.
Bravo.

Beating a dead rule
First he came for escrow services, and I said nothing, because I didn’t know anything about escrow services.
Then he came for cars, and I’m not a huge car kinda guy so meh.
Then he came for rockets, and a rocket scientist I am not.
Then he did something, I think, about tunnels. Who knows about tunnels? Anyone?
And then he came for software/social media, and I, and a whole shedload of people happen to know a fair bit about software and social media, and then we knew he was an idiot, and it was too late.
In b4 politics…

AirTag again exposes lies told by airlines about lost luggage
Reply in thread
Happened to me on a recent trip to a country well known for crime.
Your luggage is lost sir, you’ll have to fill in a form.
My luggage is about 15m away behind that wall. Here, see this map. Go get it.
10 min later: Oh your luggage is here sir. Terribly sorry.
Not sure if incompetence or shenanigans but I got my luggage back.
