Marcel Duchamp kicked the bucket 55 slutty, slutty years ago and you can't get him out of your head.
You're half as old as he is dead and you are worshiping at his altar, you are drinking his piss. He won.

The AI industry continues to be trapped in an endless panicky improv game, where they have to think up new uses for the humorously pointless object they’ve been given.
Whose line is it anyway. Stiles and mocherie play an improv game with a big white foam object

Ballpoint pen, watercolor, colored pencil, a little crayon, and charcoal pencil. 

Our guy pulls up deep in the forest on his 2-speed bike. He’s flanked by tall dark trees and his path is blocked by a massive spider. He lets the Big Fella know it’s on. “Big Fella,” he says. “I fixed my 2-speed. You still wanna race.” Reader, you know Big Fella wants in on that action. Next slide.Against a starry night sky we see silhouettes of Big Fella and our man racing down a hill. It’s unclear in the drawing who will win but Big Fella is likely about to pull away.

TV comedy nerds. I see Hyperdrive is on iPlayer. I seem to recall it being mildly amusing but not very good but it's been a looong time, worth a revisit? I can't recall anyone begging for its return.

Americans, do not be deceived by your news outlets. Britain is not currently governed by some kind of cross between Zohran Mamdani and Fidel Castro. He's more like if Keir Starmer thought he was Marc Riley, if that means anything to you.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

The scale is horrifying but for real, everyone fully understood what was going on throughout, and they behaved like that anyway. They behaved that badly *specifically because* because it’s so obviously horrific and indefensible.

The Internet, Social Media and AI are facilitating the churning out of obscene atrocity denial propaganda to deterritorialised global audiences in a way that feels unlike any prior epoch, and I feels like nobody in power is even willing to confront that because they expect to exploit it themselves.

I'm not going to quote it, you've all seen it. So Braverman reckons that English is an ethnicity but that being born in England (as I was) isn't sufficient, but you can still be British, somehow. She's just letting LLMs write her tweets, isn't she? It makes no sense at all…

Let's nail what's going on here: frail vicars who oppose the incineration of babies with British munitions components are being manhandled & hauled off in front of the press for peacefully *sitting down*. Violent tooled up racists are *filming themselves doing crimes* & are handled with kid gloves
A Hampshire Constabulary statement said: "As a result, six people were arrested for offences including careless driving, assaulting an emergency worker and aggravated trespass. They remain in custody at this time and our enquiries into these incidents continue."The police statement did not make any reference to Mr Thomas, but added: "We are also aware of a video circulating online relating to damage being caused to a boat in the English Channel on the afternoon of September 22, and we are conducting enquiries into the matter."
