Calypso legend Mighty Sparrow has died at 91. Ona of the Trinidadian’s best-known songs was 1967’s “Congo Man” which touched on topics such as racial inequality, interracial sex and political strife. Sparrow performing the song live in 1995. #RIPMightySparrow m.youtube.com/watch?v=SDV2...

For real, the darkest joke I've heard in I can't even say how long. I gasp-laughed.

I saw a post earlier saying I need to integrate AI into my workflow as an artist or I'll be left behind. Sure I've seen dozens of posts like this before, but I'm really seriously thinking about it now and I am at a total loss as to what it would possibly do to improve my work.

After 30 years of being able to send an invoice for work carried out and have it paid into my bank account, you're telling me I now need to sign up to some shitty app so start-up bros get paid for taking other people's jobs? Nope.

I am a technician with 30 years worth of experience repairing electronic equipment. I studied, apprenticed and worked in the field. Now my life is suffused with people bringing in machines they've mangled asking for help after Youtube/ChatGPT idiocy. Dumb machines ruining works of art.

While it is not a 1:1 correspondence, each time I am asked by an "AI-creator" to provide a service, a short background check will yield a phrase like "under investigation", "elder abuse", "alleged puppy mill mogul", or "banned from watching under 11s football".

Pauline Hanson flees her own custom-curated presser. With ABC & Guardian banned, & far-right criminal Avi Yemini running interference, still can’t handle questions, even from Sky “Shouldn't all media have access...?"💥 Not even sidekick Avi could save her from total humiliation.

IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL FIGURE! THE CLAIM THAT 7.5 MILLION AUSTRALIANS TOOK SICK LEAVE IN 2023/24 IS AN ASSUMPTION PLUCKED FROM FUCKEN THIN AIR! THEY TOOK THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT THEY THOUGHT WERE ELIGIBLE FOR SICK LEAVE AND MULTIPLIED IT BY 0.8! WHERE DOES 0.8 COME FROM? IT'S A FUCKEN GUESS!

Think private credit’s lack of liquidity is bad? Guess again. It’s actually good because the inability to access your money means that private credit funds can lend it to companies that are far more risky, too risky in fact for anyone else to lend to

The bottom line is that this episode should be a good thing. What makes private credit funds useful and important is their illiquidity - the fact that most money invested cannot be easily withdrawn or even demanded back at all. The sticky nature of its funding means private credit can step in and lend to risky companies when other lenders pull back - and that's historically what they've done, according to academic research published at the end of

I remember seeing an article in a guitar magazine with the headline "How Did Jimmy Page Approach the Blues?" and my first thought was "From behind, on tiptoe, with a pillowcase and a crowbar"

Not so hot take - the middle class was only made possible through socialist economic programmes in capitalist countries and vice versa. Slightly hotter take - at least those in socialist countries are rarely afforded an opportunity to vote against their own existence.

Says something about the power of positive thinking that people can watch a fickle tyrant dismantle the US government, transfer the people's wealth to venal billionaires, and create a private army of jackboot thugs within 9 months of taking office and say, "Just wait till the mid-terms."

If you lack insight, curiosity, perseverance, and the courage to accept you're incorrect, you might want to consider a "lucrative" future in the bullshit industry. Not only are education and experience unnecessary, they're discouraged. Have an LLM mail your application for your lazy ass today!!
