That guy Maks @callmesipo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Interesting to see Peter Thiel go from ripping off Tolkien to ripping off Milton. In Paradise Lost Milton has Satan say “evil, thou be my good” which seems to be a big inspiration for Thiel’s latest public pronouncements 000

That guy Maks @callmesipo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Every time I hear some new person talk about AI and how great, for example, AI music is, I wonder how they survived to adulthood. I don’t think they were meant to live past infancy 010

That guy Maks @callmesipo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’ve been thinking about how to set up infrastructure like this - could be financed by providing low cost web hosting for independent arts and academic organisations maybe? I don’t have the technical skill to do this myself 010
That guy Maks @callmesipo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Honestly I’ve been thinking about this too. A lit org I’m involved with has been asked to host another magazine’s archive since it was shutting down. Luckily we can do it, but what if we couldn’t? Would it just disappear? 110

That guy Maks @callmesipo.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Pro tip if you work at a university. If you’re a full professor, don’t be rude to junior colleagues. Ideally not at all, but also especially not in writing and if they are on my team, because I don’t give a fuck who you are I’ll just go straight to your boss and HR with the receipts 010
