While I was out for a walk, I saw there were about half a dozen anti-trans stickers plastered on the walls of a local bus stop. Long on rhetoric, short on accuracy, totally lacking in compassion. You know the kind.

I removed them all.

I left one intersex-inclusive progress pride flag sticker. I wanted to send a message, not be a nuisance.

Wonder if it'll still be there next time I go walkies...

I've been tempted to switch to text-to-speech for my vlog's audio, because recording audio is easily the hardest and most draining part of my workflow, with editing audio coming in a close second.

Then I listened to some videos that are produced using text-to-speech.

At first, it seems perfectly natural. But then it makes a mistake. Then another. Never the same mistake, always different. And soon you've tumbled right into the deepest depths of the uncanny valley.

Nope.

Was delighted to see Woke Content Detector get a mention in the Big Mid Quiz of 2024. I found so many awesome games last year by browsing their "not recommended" (aka ""woke" according to idiots") list. :PrideCartridge:

They looked like this. I couldn't find a local one, but I found this one by image search.

Does anyone else remember when bus tickets were long, thin, horizontal, printed with inexplicable numbers and letters, and shaped like arrows?

I mean, I'm glad they're legible now, but I kinda miss the days they were cut into arrow shapes.

Ew. Looking at the weather outside makes me wish I'd picked an indoorsy kind of vlog.

(I'm secretly glad for the excuse to go outside, don't tell anyone, ok?)

Hey fedi, I'm seeking cozy movie recommendations please.

I love cozy games - My Time at Sandrock, Animal Crossing, that kind of game. I'm wondering if there are movies with the same sort of vibe, low-stakes, just overwhelmingly pleasant experiences, y'know?

English audio is a requirement but that's the only one. Doesn't have to be professionally-made, or even a movie.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks all. :)

A new episode of the Every Bus Vlog is now available to paid members, in which I use my shiny new GoPro to take underwhelming footage thanks to dirty and/or icy bus windows. There's some nice static shots that I'm pretty proud of though.

It'll unlock for the general public at 2pm on Friday as usual.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the word "iconic" has now been so overused that, when it's said, what I hear is "I am lazy and couldn't think of an adjective"

Argos has now asked me three times to take out insurance on a £10 alarm clock.

Once when I ordered it.

Once when I picked it up.

They've now emailed me to ask me a third time.

Insurance.

On a £10 alarm clock.
