This afternoon I’m at a birthday party with 42.kiddo so I’m getting a FULL “kids version” playlist of recent songs and fam, they’re baaaaad. Just had a version of Pink Pony Club that couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a version with just a few lyrics swapped or to be about horses

“I like to move it” is now on. Classic banger from 93. Alas I have realised that while I’m enjoying it as I remember it coming out as a kid a bunch of the other parents also remember it as a kid… from Madagascar in 2005.

We're still knee-deep in EMF 2026 accounts, but we can confirm that the swap shop and other donation links raised £5,437.57 for charity. We've split this evenly between our three charities for this year: • Medical Aid for Palestinians • Not a Phase - notaphase.org • London's Air Ambulance

I’ve been wondering for a while about making new business cards and/or a maker coin. So I decided to combine the two into a mini digital one. A 42mm square inspired by floppy disks with an embedded nfc chip.

Now ALL of Ed Sheeran’s starting performers AND his tour band have quit his tour in solidarity with Macklemore speaking out for Palestine. It was the WOMP of times, it was the WOMP of times. Ed’s “staying neutral” comments are just poor. Neutrality in the face of oppression favours the oppressor

I genuinely researched this advert as soon as I saw it to see if it was commissioned by owners of AI datacentres. I was close, it was the private water companies who mismanage our pipes and reservoirs.

a real advert on UK TV currently: Oi! Grown ups! Save some water for us kids! ADULTS! stop having such long showers! GARDENERS! stop using so much water for your plants! WATER COMPANIES WHO HAVE DRIVEN RESERVOIR INFRASTRUCTURE INTO THE GROUND: Keep up the good work! PENSIONERS: stop drinking tea!

They can’t agree on a premise?!? 1) Start the music 2) Light the lights 3) Meet the Muppets Done. Ffs

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

Those uniforms O_o Putting the S in space (twice)

Trump on a TruthSocial posting tear - sharing images of himself with George Washington - floating the renaming of New Mexico as “New America” - and suggesting the new Space Force uniforms should be inspired by “Starship Troopers”

On the way to the seaside for a couple of days we stopped earlier for lunch. I got very excited to see what looked to be a car boot sale in the field next door. My disappointment was immense when it turned out to be a classic car show instead :(

Well, we’re a week after #emfcamp , miss you all already. It was such a fun one this year, especially being much more involved in setup, etc. Seeing kiddos running round in the t-shirt I designed will never not be awesome. I hope you all had a fab one?

Are you at #emfcamp ? Do you live the art from the kids t-shirt and wish you could have some for yourself? Well, you’re in luck! I’m selling 50 A3 numbered & signed limited edition prints at the Night Market on Sat OR you can pre order here & pick up, link at 42.computer #emf2024 #emfcamp2024

Toy Story 5 is such a hilariously pro tech propaganda piece. “But tech is the main villain!” I hear you say! Yeah but SPOILERS AHEAD… Lily pad doesn’t only get a redemption arc but gets a rescue from all the other toys AND is pivotal to the plot resolution. 🧵

The film goes HARD into the anti tech in the first 20-40 mins but in such an exaggerated way that seems designed to be dismissed. By the end of the film we have 4 new tech characters that are now part of the main crew and all portrayed positively by film end.

Jessie even has a super forced feeling line about how Lily pad can “help connect” Bonnie and the right friend. Lily pads sins are quickly washed away as not turning Bonnie into an iPad zombie but just accidentally connecting her to the “wrong” friends.
