I've magically stumbled into the world of the Professional Club DJ and kinda like it. Long suffering Minnesota Vikings fan (since '88). Former comic book reviewer, now in exile within a prison of his own longboxes.

It would be quite funny for subsequent Presidents and historians to always refer to him as 'The Fake President' - 'Well he just seemed to like the word so much!'

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

There's going to be some crazy psychoanalysis done in a few years about influencers and the general public who chucked all their pictures up to social media reversed because that's how they look in the mirror and 'prefer themselves', yet no one else sees them that way in real life.

Someone I follow on Instagram (who by all accounts is a genuine 'good egg') just did the thing where every single image of a paid promotion was posted up mirrored so all the product's text was reversed and only readable through mental gymnastics. None of my business, it's none of my business...

Gave Fine Young Cannibals' banger 'Johnny Come Home' an airing this morning. Still feels like that's an underappreciated 1980s track. Allowed Deezer to then autoplay approximately 5 seconds of their cover of 'Suspicious Minds' before saying 'Oh NO you DON'T' out loud and rushing for the stop button

There's a weird puritan streak to how this article is written where the writer keeps noting that the people who run the business side of porn are normal - they wear gilets and work in 'nondescript offices', as opposed to what? A building shaped like a giant cock? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The bubble IS going to burst, or deflate in a way which no one can prevent and because it's all been heavy tech investment I don't think people are ready for the 'hidden' players (other tech companies and financial institutions) who are directly exposed to the risk to go down in the way they will

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Surely this allows for the idea that a core, dedicated 'fanbase' or listenership of say 750,000 people could sustain a UK number #1 by listening to the song repeatedly for months in their own 'bubble'. The suggestion in 2026 that the UK Number #1 will have been heard by the majority is debatable

Watched this yesterday and am still haunted by it. This kind of tech is only possible because of 100’s of years of work by generations of scientists. The idea that now that legacy of knowledge has passed into the hands of sociopathic bros and blind profit junkies is terrifying.

Saw the TV interview the week the Piddington 'story' made the headlines and thought she was incredibly brave then. Her bravery for standing up, speaking out against racist agendas and then facing the wall of abuse that followed is even more impressive. The world needs more Rachels in these times.

That 'The Gentlemen' Netflix series that Instagram insists on fucking telling me about looks absolutely awful. London accented-men seething at each other over and over in various, poorly-lit rooms. The British 'gangster'/criminal family trope needs to disappear for a decade.

Just had a thought about the poor genuine artist/graphic designer whose whole style before the gen AI onslaught was that rounded face 'cutesy' style and how they must have literally closed the sketch book/shut down their PC and just walked out into the fields a month into the tidal wave of slop.

I'll say that without any doubt that both Thirteen and Fourteen are my favourite ¡Forward, Russia! tracks by far - I even listen to the demo versions often - and to see Tom go into some detail and depth behind their conception, the lyrics and recording is great. Roll on February

I just came across the @japan-cambot.bsky.social account, which posts footage from four random public webcams around Japan every hour. On top of being a nice change of pace to have stuff like this show up on the feed, there is some potential art reference material there too!

Many comic creators have tried to 'top' what came before, to hold on to divided modern attention. Readers who do afford comics their attention will see the positive results. And feel them. Giving a few things a lot of our attention is generally more rewarding than giving many things just a little.

I stand VERY corrected. The developers clearly knew the breadth to be found in this game. I've seen streamers play semi-passively having never shot a gun, but building death traps everywhere or flying drones, or sitting in artillery. Feels like a game that won't abide a single meta at any point.

Released just a couple of days ago and I'm only part way through my first listen now, but jeeeeeez, this is going to get air play in my house. Superb track from TOMORA with Aurora and Tom Rowlands of Chemical Brothers fame (he's fully there in the sound) www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6pp...

Was excited to hear a previously unreleased version of ¡Forward, Russia!'s 'Fourteen' was dropping today (and am excited to see them play live in February), however, a little disappointed to find out it's a version I have heard before, and I think has been maybe released before.

Absolute chucklefuck behaviour from the local Odeon who charged, at maximum, £7 a ticket for the recent weekend's Transformers The Movie 40th Anniversary showings regardless of seating, to now charging £14 a ticket on the newly announced showings because it's a small, all recliner screen.
