I was quite literally in the middle of typing something when this happened

I haven't thought twice about where "lorem ipsum" was from. It's fascinating how much history there is behind something so inconsequential. And I'm glad that some people still dig for answers when most just parrot falsehoods.

Second in my series of tutorials on how to use is now up. I go over the home feed, how to fill it up with interesting things using the trending feed and hashtags, and how to declutter it with lists. Let me know if you learn something you weren't aware of from this video 🙂

It's Pride Month, so here's some WOKE ribbon cable. ;)

A reel of IDC (ribbon) cable. This isn't the normal boring grey kind - it's coloured according to the resistor colour code.

Fedizens! Please send me your favourite meme which shows something important about the

I'll go first:

Star wars meme. Empire soldier land to interrogate the retired general. "Mastodon? Really? Man of your talents?". He replies: "It's a peaceful life" From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-a-peaceful-life "It's a Peaceful Life, also known as Really? Man Of Your Talents?, is a reaction image and image macro meme format using a scene from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in which the character Galen Erso (played by actor Mads Mikkelsen) tells Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), "It's a peaceful life," after Krennic expresses pitiful shock that Erso is a farmer"

New Loot!

Yes, I know came out last week, but we pre-ordered so we get it a few days later for some reason..

We are in the audience photo, but very hard to pick out...

Including a Ziltoid called Ziltoid, a called Gerald, and an axolotl called Lexin. (A character in The Moth, and a sort of alien axolotl. Yes, really.)

Anyway, buy this man's music, he's a wonderful human being, endlessly creative, and no-one else is really doing stuff like this.

An art book on a chair, surrounded by three plush toys. One is Ziltoid, a character from early Devin albums. He's a bug-eyed alien, and is wearing a flying V guitar. Another is a blue Plushtodon - the Mastodon mascot. and there is a small pink plush axolotl. In front is a separate cover from the art book which is signed. The cover is close-up photo of Devin Townsend in grey. The artbook is opened showing photos from the performance last year in Groningen. The photo in the lower right is of the audience, and we're in it. Ziltoid, Gerald and Lexin look on. A photo of the t-shirt that came with the art book, along with the same three plushies.

The QUEEN is watching me work from the sofa today because there is no furniture left in my office

Tuxedo Queen Agata first of her name, comfortably loafed on a velvety grey blanket covered sofa. She stares, judgementally, at the camera, with her signature yellow sanpaku eyes. Her thoughts about the photographer are certain - I’m not doing anything right.
