“King Crimson isn’t prog” is a new one to me

I’m never not amazed when I see a grown-ass adult learning about The Onion for the first time.

We’re “trialing” it, which, given what I know about mgmt’s expectations from every software they tried, and how quickly “ROI” gets used in why we didn’t “move forward” with it, I have the smug satisfaction of knowing how this will play out.

I’ve had The Turn of the Screw on my reading list for some time, wish this having-a-job thing gave me more time to read.

The role of a governess in Victorian England certainly provides fodder for discussion. But when you contend with the fact of an abuser - owning up to his existence, and finding the collective will to address his damage - this film hits WAY differently. A remarkable ghost story indeed.

Reviewers suggesting that dominant theme of The Innocents is the way Miss Giddens’ (Deborah Kerr’s) sexually repressed impulses manifest themselves are missing a bigger theme. So say I in my Letterboxd review:

A review of The Innocents (1961)

Stellar acting, and beautiful cinematography from Freddie Francis. The story though is what gets under your skin. I see a lot of commentary about sexual repression, which may be the case, but the big ...

For my nostalgic live music aficionados, if you see The Dream Syndicate coming up at a local venue, they still give it all they’ve got!

Yeah, I’m going to see if the obvious intentional rudeness lands anywhere, but since it’s unlikely to even get read, that will be the likely outcome.

Paraphrasing a quote from Martin Buber that I’m too lazy to look up or verify: talk of God has been so overused, believers would do well to stop talking about God for a century or so. Maybe true believers in AI should give it a rest for a few and pick it back up at a better time (with less hype.)

And for me, the staggering debt that the companies are leaning so hard into accruing and insisting will pay off is an easy case to bet against.

My admitted bias against the investor driven hype that keeps pushing pastel-colored sphincters into the corner of every bit of software we open is the simple truth that investors are so much more often wrong than they are right.

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

…audiences that the above mentioned investors would like to see grow. We *could* have some honest discourse around AI, but, if you’re looking at the same hyped up 💩 I’m looking at, you’re swimming against some pretty strong currents.

Academics who have been studying Artificial Intelligence for years have some possibly interesting ideas about the current spate of products, and if you like reading academic papers, good news, they are in good supply. Pretty much all of the mesaging around AI I’m seeing is geared toward

Any technology’s success depends on how well it integrates into the human world it is called upon to support. In our age, capital intensive technologies require investment, and investors are the third wheel to bringing the technology forward.

Because I’ve been doing the work I’ve been doing as long as I have, and because the workable flow of data is systematically requires so much oversight moving from one environment to the next, I don’t lose a second of sleep about my job being replaceable.

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Lather, rinse, repeat. As for myself? I’ve had my hands on it. Has my little ecosystem convinced me it does nothing? No. Like any technology, the user gets out of it what they put into it. It can run certain searches quickly, and that might be a plus, depending on what your job is.

Trialing a SAAS or whatever is easy enough, it’s usually free for a period, you just have to win over the execs who a) have zero interest in all 90% of what the sellers pitch, they’ll come to the end of the trial, ask what is the ROI, and with the attention span of goldfish, decide it isn’t there.

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Eh. What the hell. I’ll jump into this discourse and see how much I regret it later, it’s Friday night. I’m a corporate worker bee in a tech-ish role, work for a company run by execs who are constantly looking to turn a penny into a hundred dollars, and we are “trialing” AI.

From the article, who’s writer who remarks on Gen Z’s interest in theatres, noting that they spend money on social experiences, like queuing up for $60 loaves of sourdough bread, as evidence of how they like to do things “en masse.” (Yeah, I don’t get that either.)

I have not signed the "Save the AMC Kips Bay" petition, but like many residents of the eastern side of Manhattan, I will be sad when it closes its doors. Charmless decor and unremarkable environs aside, I am a huge fan of its ample reclining seats.

Ed’s comments came out of AI investment, but seem to apply to how the supposed smart money wrote off theatre attendance because streaming would supposedly win out

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

@musicboxtheatre.bsky.social The bean counters who look at AMC’s finances are writing about an “unexpected plot twist” - young filmgoers are filling seats! Shocking, isn’t it?

Please sir, no Bluesky discourse this fine morning.

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

More words than I intended! Anyway - not looking to start a dialogue or clean up Bluesky (that sure ain’t happening), but thought I’d lend a little weight to what I thought was a well worded rebuttal to a whole lot of foolish behavior.

000

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Anyway, yeah, the internet is a sewer. Bluesky might be a “bubble,” but I’m not sure I buy that it’s a bubble where the good intentions that underly it (and I question that, you don’t get a pass because your politics align with my own) make it somehow on balance preferable.

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I look at the AQI index the same way I look at the temp and precip, to figure out what to expect and how to prepare to leave the house. To use an article on relief inhalers as a prop to sound off on billionaires from your little Bluesky perch is hugely offensive. (I’m sure they see differently 🤷‍♂️

100

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Something I wish the people posting these, and their throng of reply guys, quote reposters et al who didn’t read the article knew, people who use inhalers care ENORMOUSLY about the effect their inhalers have on the environment, unlike people looking for a reason to scold WBUR

100

Skeeter @pseigh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A good number of Bluesky chatterers (a good number, but way smaller than now) decided that WBUR needed a good scolding, because what about the billionaires taking private jets to Super Bowl, WBUR??? You want to go after inhaler users, you jerks?
