nico beastie boyce is my name

watched that film conclave and I thought it was pretty great? I don't really like films but yeah I liked this one

@vantablack many years ago I used to drink in a lord of the rings themed pub with a life sized aragorn statue just inside the door and some students came in and asked if they could take pictures with the jedi

@hypolite it's that all cheese diet

look we all know brian cox from science and space and "things can only get better" and alex james from cheese and parklife are the same person and it's time the government stopped covering this up

@hypolite oh I needed something lazier, like torrenting the sopranos

So I think I've had to fill up three times since them americans decided to start a new unwinnable war and I make it £83 extra it has cost me and so I'm looking for suggestions for the laziest way to steal £83 back from america

@hypolite thank you, I'm sure you can see I've come a long way with these over the last decade! I appreciate you always checking out my daft stuff

put some of my motorsport pictures up here https://nicoboyce.com/wheels/ which you might like to look at but don't feel you have to or anything

@riotRhino@social.coop in canada they would mix in curds right

look britain this is indefensible

I hope this email finds you properly mashed up

@hypolite thank you! I should have actually organised the place a bit first but I just took a picture for someone who was asking and ended up doing the whole thing

@hypolite that's really interesting because I felt like it was too structured, too obvious. verse chorus verse. imagery written in crayon

ok so someone in meat space has voiced to me that they are upset by the joke about eating a cat because of something horrifying from their past and I guess there is a logic there but that is a super high bar for trigger warnings I think? plus the preceeding page of text is not exactly subtle use of imagery and makes it clear there's no literal cat or real sandwich and it's about the way that information asymmetry is used to embed power imbalances in society? should I put that in bold in the page somewhere

someone (i missed who and it vanished) messaged to say they were blocking me but they didn't say why. i don't want to upset anyone (okay anyone cool, i do want to upset tories) but also it's okay to shush me. but "i'm blocking you now" that's fine but it seems to be looking to provoke. I think that's bad behaviour? i'm good without that, ok bye!

you know i think i'm funny

more words. see what you think https://nicoboyce.com/2026/04/16/does-every-dog-bark/

made this little tour of my office https://deltastring.com/2026/04/14/nicos-office-tour/ which involved a lot of tweaking coordinates of the little numbers

@GossiTheDog hell yes

@Gargron@mastodon.social (late to your news here so you're probably tired of talking about it but I still wanted to say) well done for making the decision it sounds like you were needing to make and also have you given yourself time recently to be like "look at this crazy thing I did" because wow, who knew this kind of thing was even possible for a real human with empathy etc
