To this day, the best Deep House mix ever made is unquestionably Charles Schilling's 1999 Overground House vol IV. I shall take no further question at this time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PmUoEKF5zU #mix #music #deep #house

Based on the willingness of our household to spend the gdp of Paraguay to get an “emergency” vet appointment and skip the 24h wait for our regular vet (“she went from keeping her left eye closed 40%, to 60% this morning”)… I think it’s a good thing we don’t have kids, or we’d be long bankrupt.

Years ago backstage at a festival I approached Sarah Cracknell of St Etienne, with the intent of sharing my love for her. Sadly, having overcommitted to drugs earlier in the day, I was off my face so it came out as a scream. A shrill, long wail. I think of this often.

These are incredible. Hard to imagine there is much real research in such a paper. And a lot of cases like these are being reported (on PubPeer) at the moment. Even the rudimentary data sharing in Nature journals exposes what one suspects is clearly the tip of a very large iceberg.

We're in the era of incompetence and cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue."
