I had an email sent to me in error from an evangelical church in Missouri last night. I was very nice about it and told them they'd send it to the wrong person and would be deleting it. They were nice too and thanked me. It was all very civilised. God bless them.

Doing an audio CD of something for my dad and have been printing a cover for it. Now looking at doing the on-disc label. It's like 2001 all over again.

A British far-right group vandalized London mosques and posted the pictures. It was run by Russia. The network recruited through Telegram to make Russia-linked attacks look homegrown. A 23-year-old Russian diplomat, son of a government official, is suspected. euromaidanpress.com/2026/09/18/d...

A Ukrainian man has pleaded guilty to the attacks. Direct Action UK, a fake British far-right group, then circulated images of the graffiti.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, denies its a duck but insists it's a giant pterodactyl that will destroy you in 3 days, its a Kremlin duck. 🦆

As a musician, you should always focus your energy on making music in genres that you don’t like, as these will be the types of music that most need your help.

Girlfriend and I were in NYC in March 2001. Unfortunately we didn't see much point in visiting the WTC. We did go up into the crown of the Statue of Liberty though, which closed after 9/11. One evening we decided to have an evening in our hotel room, and watched *that* episode of The Lone Gunmen.

I remember on 9/11 I had a day off work and was at the train station renewing my monthly ticket. I overheard one of the ticket office ladies say 'A second plane? That can't be right'. Didn't think anything of it, until later at home my mum phoned to ask if me and my dad had the TV on (we didn't).

Why restaurants are facing backlash for fake food pictures | CNN
Generative AI is being used to advertise food around the world to the disdain of many beholders. But there are real reasons why consumers are repelled by the sometimes bizarre-looking meals.

OTD in 2014 I said I could conquer Kiev in 2 weeks. I can’t actually conquer Donbass in 4.5 years. Or get from Kiev airport to downtown Kiev. But we're winning. I remain a master strategist.

I haven't been following it recently, but does Richard Dawkins still think his instance of Claude is sentient, or has he realised it's just a bit of software?
