Plot idea: the coordinated rush by society’s dragons to contaminate consensus reality with generative AI turns out to be a speedrun to get ahead of all the kompromat.

It’s pretty amusing* that we are living in a timeline where the richest** man in the world reveals a hopping car with enough fuel for maybe 1.5 hops, calls it a flying car, and instead of us going “that was a cool show with a flying car what a cool guy” all that happened was he single-handedly […]

A Przewalski’s horse has been born in the wild in Kazakhstan for the first time in around 200 years. The foal is an encouraging milestone in efforts to return this once-extinct-in-the-wild species to the landscapes where it once roamed. 🐴🌿 Read more […]

If Peter Thiel appeared in public with horns and a tail in cloven hooves for feet, preaching about the antichrist and spearing individuals in public, the news media would still calmly report his latest speech.

Hee hee you can tell I’m a bit of a weird music wanker because I just cued up all of Briqueville’s 4 albums and am listening in order of course. I don’t necessarily recommend this play order of course, I think album 3 ‘Quelle’, which is Akte VIII to Akte XV is […] [Original post on aus.social]

A screenshot of a PlexAmp playlist queue - 3 (of 4) album covers are visible of the Belgian (?) experimental instrumental metal band Briqueville. The songs are all just Roman numerals starting at II (because I is playing) and going from album to album in sequence. After the first album they at least start calling the tracks Akte V, Akte VI and so forth.

“The Greatest Bane” by the Ocean collective is over 20 years old but the lyrics hold true. It opens with: — We are divine. We are divine. Deities of the modern age. The sentinels of humanity's cage. — and eventually gets to: — Your children work for us eight hours a day. We know that we give […]

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
