apropos of stuff, if around 150-200 people BASED IN THE UK would like to take out a, remarkably we should say, good value subscription to Wyrd Science on this the 11th of August 2026 it would be pretty pretty pretty pretty good 👍 wyrd-science.subsail.com/subscribe/

yes, see below for something about to hit us all like a sledgehammer. whilst it might be easier to write off or disguise a three euro price hike on a £50+ book or game, it's a killer on a <£10 magazine we're not quite ready to pull the plug yet as we're exploring options but we're dangerously close

The first warning arrived on a Tuesday morning, six weeks after consultants advised moving from dependency on six hundred small excel scripts - and nobody at Zenith Ledger Advisory paid much attention. It appeared in the system dashboard between routine audit notifications and a maintenance reminder

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Briefly going to use this as a jumping off point to talk about art! There's a concept in art history called kunstwollen or "will to art" introduced by Alois Riegel, who was a late 19th century Austrian art historian. It is often used to explain why certain motifs appear at certain times in history.
