You're missing out! Don't be left behind! And, so you don't miss out, we're going to install all these great tools in every device & program you use, and make it virtually impossible to disable them, not unlike sellotaping random garden implements to your fingers every time you try to type an email

And the same can be said of all art forms. It's not just the product: it's also the human process, and also the dialogue between the human artist and the audience. That's why AI outputs can look like art, read like poetry, and sound like music, but they can never actually *be* any of those things.

Next up for Pink Opaque: our first ever headline slot 🤩 and it's free to get in! Sidney & Matilda, Sheffield Wednesday 7 October So excited to have the brilliant Ladies Nite coming over from Leeds for this as well as local hero My Lo-fi Heart 🩷🪩 Book at www.fatsoma.com/e/fnl3ronx/p...
Poster for the show with a photo of Danielle and Pete performing on stage, singing and playing synth. Both have one arm aloft, Danielle's right and Pete's left, so it's kind of symmetrically jubilant.

Five and a half hours from the bus out of Walkley to the pub in Stockwell. I definitely looked better this morning.

Why we don't stock certain books... An example is this book. The retail price is £22.00 but you can buy a copy in Tesco for £11. We can't blame you for doing that. The price to us from the publisher would be £12.10 as they discriminate against small shops on discount.

The thing is, I already know it'll be worth it. Playing popshows is just the best thing. I've been doing it since 1989 and I can't imagine ever not wanting to.

Travelling to London on Friday to play this @pinkopaque.co.uk show and coming back on a coach afterwards which arrives in Sheffield about 5am. Almost excited to see how broken I'll be the next day.

I've long believed that lasting impact is built through partnership. By bringing together those committed to using football as a force for good, the Football Action Network can help amplify what's working, inspire new ideas, and accelerate positive change across the game and the communities it serves."

Rebel Amulets: a free event at Shakespeares, Sheffield (146-148 Gibraltar Street, S3 8UB), this Saturday (19 September), with an excellent line-up including a set from @petegreensolo.com. Organised by Longbarrow co-founder Karl Hurst, so the set times are anyone's guess. It'll be good. All welcome.

It says something about capitalism that every government's response to a development that might wipe out humanity isn't "OK let's stop" but "we need to do this faster than everyone else"

What's this? A wordle-style guessing game where you have to guess a daily station, except that the answer is in the form of a 3-character CRS code? Equal amounts of joy and infuriation !! loconundrum.aaronc.cc
