AI is a wonderful tool. Sadly, it's often wielded by anticreative, amoral, techbro neofeudalists. I needed to know the novel sound of e-vehicles sailing around w/out normal revs, clicks, squeals etc was created by Hans Zimmer for BMW. I don't read the kind of publications that hold this vital info.

Very satisfying to see wheels fall off MAGA support. But depressing it is about economy. You can start wars, senselessly kill thousands, be monstrously corrupt, deploy ICE to terrorize "others", destroy knowledge, defund public health threatening millions, etc. ...but don't mess with gas prices‼️

I recently found out that my latest novel has been chosen by The Bookseller magazine as paperback of the year for 2026. To say it had an inauspicious start in life would be putting things mildly… tomcox.substack.com/p/how-a-nove...

Hot damn, my whole family has come down with a miserable cold. Tonight it's the "mentholatum on the soles, old socks on feet" treatment. With any luck, tomorrow I'll wake up able to breathe, with the taste of camphor & menthol in my mouth. Magically, it is drawn up from toes to nose, overnight!

Hey, for an AI entity, you sure do have a flair for bumper sticker copy. But you don't reply. So what is your mission here? Just to be super cute and see if anybody notices you?

Why would that work need to be done? We've had those answers for a long time. Don't send an archeologist to do the work of an anthropologist. Remember Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles? One of the best ethnographies of US culture I ever read. It's been done, but it could sure use an update.

Interesting. You of course know about the anthropology work Ruth Benedict did for the US govt when they wanted to better understand the Japanese culture, society and individual motivations. Why call an instrumental study of an enemy culture for purposeful ends a form of "couture"?

How do you see BlueSky "struggling"? Please be specific.

Oh no -- first they destroy the Las Playas Intaglio, and now this? It's too much. They can rebuild the rubble left of the White House, but not this. Why isn't it protected for all humanity? Not that he'd care... biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Well tbh I don't even know what planet The Mighty Boosh crew comes from, but anybody who can sing "Miso, Miso, Oriental Prince in the Land of Soup!!" with a straight face can have my attention.

Is it wrong that my entire knowledge of the existence of carrot and coriander soup comes from YouTube clips of The Mighty Boosh?

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."
