I will never stop finding out about overlooked power pop albums from the late 1970s. There are always more

cover for self-titled album by The Paley Brothers where they are sitting wearing half-unbuttoned white shirts and jeans and they have medium length hair, hands crossed in from of them, in front of a brick wall, surrounded by a pink border with The Paley Brothers in an all caps, blocky font at the top. thought I'd be thorough here

each of these must be about as healthy as the Panera "charged" lemonade, or maybe a 4 Loko at best

Here are some drinks available at Dunkin’ this summer: Pink Lemon Drop Suncloud Lemonade, Watermelon Lime Dunkin’ Zero, Fluffernutter Coffee Chiller, Pink Mango Daydream Refresher (the line of fruity “refreshers” seems to live somewhere between tea and soda), Tiramisu Iced Protein Latte, Mango Protein Refresher, Strawberry Cloud Matcha and Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher With Marshmallow Cold Foam. Some are uncaffeinated, and some chock-full of caffeine, but none are what I would consider, in the traditional sense, coffee. They are also so odd and avant-garde-sounding that they make even Starbucks’ infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte sound quaint.

I wish DoorDash type services were nonprofit co-ops owned by restaurants. I support the idea of disintermediating these services when possible. But this law was a privacy nightmare

"The Law provides that, at a restaurant’s request, platforms must provide five categories of data about every customer who places an online order from that restaurant through the platform: (1) full name, (2) telephone number, (3) email address, (4) delivery address, and (5) order contents. N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 20-563, 20-563.7(a). The platform must transmit that data “in a machine-readable
format, disaggregated by customer, on an at least monthly basis.” § 20-563.7(c). Each customer is “presumed to have consented” to disclosure unless they opt out for that particular order."

from Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) by Jerome K Jerome (1889). anyway this is me

I rather pride myself on my packing. Packing is one of those many things that I feel I know more about than any other person living. (It surprises me myself, sometimes, how many of these subjects there are.) I impressed the fact upon George and Harris, and told them that they had better leave the whole matter entirely to me. They fell into the suggestion with a readiness that had something uncanny about it. George put on a pipe and spread himself over the easy-chair, and Harris cocked his legs on the table and lit a cigar.

This was hardly what I intended. What I had meant, of course, was, that I should boss the job, and that Harris and George should potter about under my directions, I pushing them aside every now and then with, “Oh, you—!” “Here, let me do it.” “There you are, simple enough!”—really teaching them, as you might say. Their taking it in the way they did irritated me. There is nothing does irritate me more than seeing other people sitting about doing nothing when I’m working.

Correct. Open weight models are like freeware. They are not "open" www.neowin.net/editorials/a...

the so-called open source Al models are not really open because users don't get to see the real source code: the data used to train the Al.

Julian Cope begins a discussion of the band Comets on Fire with a furious attack on Iggy Pop (Copendium pg 431).

Iggy Pop is not just a daft cunt
- he's a cruel, corporate whore he scent compace wore
with the nuclear industry's level of arrogance. To you, Mr Oster-berg, I scream: When old twat rock'n'rollers have underachieved their way through the past twenty years, doing the cock-out routine and coming on like fitness freaks, their audience requires that they should do the honourable thing and croak?
But instead, in the face of no new songs and nothing whatsoever to say for the next twenty vacuous orbits of the sun, Herr Oster-fucking-berg-with-time-on-his-hands decides to cast his magical dip-stick over the previous decades of genius in order to fuck up whatever he got right in the first place.
