Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 24/09/2026Found this in the show notes for 'when we were wizards' oral history of D&D. not sure of it's source. I may email them if i need it. Also found Don Featherstone's history of military sand tables written for the British War Games Digest: Issue September 1960 130
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 28/08/2026Evolution of Start Select Reset Zine. Over years of making them, the issues soon pile up! thejaymo.net/zine 032

Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 11/08/2026yeah I agree. But i think that comes about because of the collapse in decorum and living standards. Outside of major urban areas, England (specifically) is pretty wild west imo. Here's a comment on how some of the pride in place money is getting spent. I mean they're not wrong I guess. lol 110
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 11/08/2026I would really like a long read on the tenor and tone of comments under local news stories in the UK. Analysis of both social media/facebook posts, and those on hyper local media websites. I feel like it would be an important window into the state of our society. 331
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 01/08/2026This 1990s image by Richard Wahlstrom is where I imagine Claude lives. 040
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 15/06/2026Someone who knows way more about it than me needs to write a long piece for the LRB or LARB about the relationship between Fighting game locations, background pixel art, influence on UFC and sports in general, life imitating art, theatrical aesthetics, prompting reality, etc. 020
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 09/06/2026Just 11 copies of my most recent zine left in my etsy store thejaymo.etsy.com/uk/listing/4... 021
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 31/05/2026Anyways. Here's a picture of the school hall next to the nursery were the military dumped all their gas masks after they did the sweep of the city. Weird place man. 110
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 31/05/2026It was the narrative and knowledge of the danger I bought with me that made being at the location register a threatening. Also, one of the big things I realised going to Pripyat is that there really isn’t enough broken glass foley sound in post apocalyptic media at all. It just *everywhere* you go 100
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 31/05/2026Standing like 150m from reactor 4 was the first time i’ve experienced a 'place of evil' as an active force. Radiation is obviously an insipid danger, no signs of death and danger detected except yellow and black warning symbols zipped tied to the fence. 100
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 31/05/2026Like the LRB piece mentions, it being reproduced in COD meant that actually going to to the fairground was like being inside a 'hyper reality'. Visiting somewhere you've only been in a dream or something. You look at a side building and think 'Oh there's ammo over there' 110
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 23/05/2026Raindrop.io 's agent is fantastic. Took nearly 2 months, but i'm all done! Processed over 1k+ unsorted bookmarks, added notes and tags. The prompt in my blog post has been tweaked a few times over the last month or so and works really well now. 020
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 20/05/2026People seem so psyched for the Popes AI encyclical. But everyone is sleeping on QUO VADIS, HUMANITAS? from International Theological Commission. CONSIDERING CHRISTIAN ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF CERTAIN SCENARIOS FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY 130
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 20/05/2026Surely, this is going to be the greatest movie of the 21st century!? 120
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 27/04/2026Seems like a massive L that the @anthropic.com fellowship program has no track for creative/cultural applications/public communication or AI philosophy and/or language? 000
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 22/04/2026Spent this morning shipping UK subs. This pile is what's left. International orders go out tomorrow. 100
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 21/04/2026Issue #15 of my zine that accompanies this episode of my podcast arrived from the printers. All numbered, stamped up, and ready to ship to my paid subscribers this week! 320
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 09/04/2026No. Dune 3 is the adaption of the 1969 follow up and conclusion of the Paul Atredies story, Dune Messiah. This meme is a handy guide to the 6 canon books by FH. 2120
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 27/03/2026I don't drink soda very often. Couple of times a year at most. But when I do drink it, I always drink the best one. 000
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 26/03/2026Give everyone seems to be getting laid off, this is the hot meme over on telegram. 000
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 25/03/2026YES I have found myself thinking this over the last 18 years of bookmark hoarding. 100
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 24/03/2026Last week I put out a new episode of Experience.Computer with @marco-giancotti.bsky.social. We explored aphantasia, SDAM, and spatial memory. We also wondered why looking at a picture of a sour fruit (Umeboshi) doesn’t make everyone’s mouth water. experience.computer/p/marco-gian... 031
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 21/03/2026Microsoft are FINALLY letting people move the task bar in Windows 11. FINALLY 🙂↔️ 000
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 19/03/2026When an agent fails, the first question is almost always about the model. Did it reason correctly? Was the prompt well constructed? Sometimes those are the right questions. But more often the better… thejaymo.net/2026/03/19/ontological… 000
Jay Springett @thejaymo.net · 19/03/2026Ofcom has obsoletely no jurisdiction over 4chan *at all*. If it cares this much, it can just tell ISP's to block it. Not fine it. Now it's going after the big stacks, I full expect Google etc to pick up the First Amendment and absolutely bludgeon Ofcom with it. 110
