I am so tired of this triumph of mediocrity we are obliged to celebrate.

It kills me that certain songs I loved so much are basically out of the collective memory. Episode #1 - Volcano! - Fire Fire

This is the stuff meme were made of. Long ago fake hacking videos were included in some Italian magazines. Here Hackerino and uomo d'acciaio (man of steel) are getting into some imaginary db of weapons data. At the end he's shouting "they're tracing us! cut! cut!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtZW...

This stuff is not even sketchy as it usually tries to be in industrial, hc and metal where sometimes you have to peek under the surface to understand subtly cryptic references to certain shit or imagery. It's just grotesquely awkward.

Having spent more than 10 years in "academia" between phd and postdocs, I am fascinated about how many people still see universities as a holy ground for all virtues. It is inside those walls that a lot of white people conjectured the worst theories.

I've long known the pitfalls of dimensionality reduction and gradient descent, but it took me a lifetime to connect this to my refusal of mainstream products and my passion for niche culture. Must be a primordial instinct. These tools may be great for exploration, but shallow for recommendation.

Oh man, Italian government has still this up on their website. The same journalist has just been accused of staging an incendiary attack on his own mailbox after police found he bought the material on Amazon.

I guess a champagne socialist is what they refer as "radical chic" in Italy, i.e. one of the expressions that already qualifies the person uttering it.

We have this ancient idiom in Italy "piove, governo ladro", i.e. "it's raining, thieving government". It was supposed to be a a sort of joke on the tendency of simpletons to attribute everything, even unfortunate weather, to the government. We have now proof that reality can win over that joke.

When I was younger, had a friend who made me reflect on how the first shots in a movie serve to establish what is gonna come. It was very precious. First 2 times I've watched Devilman Crybaby I did it in the middle of the night without pauses between episodes. I'll try slower this time. If I can.

Still have hard times processing the death of Sam Kieth. He's been one of the most important artist in my life. Wrote about it yesterday and buried the words in a hole as I do nowadays, but this I've read yesterday I want to share. An hug Sam. Wherever you are now.

This is ironically happening in my own country where the same breed of dog has been object of a long public discussion about banning the breeding after a fatal accident involving 5 of them. Same dogs have been held hostage of the judicial system for almost 5 years of their typically short lives.

4 times that I hear something en passant from the radio and I wonder in which fever dream was the one who asked AI to imagine a shitty postcore song written by Sting after a coma in which he forgot how to play any instrument. And then it's just Turnstile.
