Everyone else came here (for good reason) so I decided I might as well tag along to stand silently in the corner and stare at my shoes

Something I think a lot about is how Aaron Swartz ended up dead after downloading some PDFs from JSTOR while his YC stablemate Sam Altman (who Swartz described as "a sociopath" who "could do anything") downloaded the entire fucking internet and is celebrated as a captain of industry

"When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who built this bridge to be so flimsy? There are permits you have to acquire [& supposed] tests. When you ask about the bridge collapsing itself, you’ve lost the thread"

Simulator Week continues at the Video Game Soda machine project with Pigeon Simulator! How could you accurately simulate the lived experience of a pigeon secretly battling paranormal threats without snack and soda machines?!

Pigeon Simulator
Pigeon Simulator lets you live out the fantasy of being a pigeon who's also a secret agent battling paranormal threats. I don't think this vending machine is haunted or anything, but I do wonder why you'd call it a Foodie machine when there are clearly two rows of canned drinks! Simulator

I think this has probably moved beyond marketing fluff at this point into a deliberate preparation of the ground for committing more crimes

Flo's "Ultimate DJ" theme on NTS today is "what would your soundtrack be if you were a video game character whose job is to break stuff and cause chaos". Not going to phone in, but it would be nice to hear Melt Banana - "Free The Bee" on breakfast-time radio, right? www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Z1...

Really important investigation showing that the Govt's and Palantir's claims fall apart when they're subjected to scrutiny. And NHSE knows the numbers don't add up: "Over the course of four days of calls and emails, NHS England did not respond to any of the questions we sent them about the data".

Hope Common Ground (including the good folks at Curio and Flow Records) can be back with us soon but drinks and books sounds like an excellent combo (err, as long as one is not applied directly to the other. That's a less good combo in my experience)

The last time I was turned down for Arts Council funding, they sent me a model application for a project to demonstrate what they were ideally looking for. The model application was by me a year earlier. And was also turned down.

got something in my eye...
A new generation is already taking up Steve Albini's mantle. Electrical's last two full-time hires arrived in April 2023. Like the engineers before them who would tape-op for Shellac, they ran Pro Tools for Albini, who stayed true to working solely with analog tape until the end.

The blue jumpsuit hanging upstairs from a year ago has moved over a hook, but it remains on the same rack. It belongs to Electrical's youngest employee, and first female engineer, Lauren "Mac" MacDonald. "I wear it any time I'm running a session," she says. "It literally gives me confidence."

I'm sick of living in a dying kingdom where the things that once ensured prosperity are all failing but nobody can imagine what comes after so we're forced into burning through the dregs of whatever's left just to keep the lights on. I'm going to go play Dark Souls 3.

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer: “Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

I tested this for fun to see if it was regional - Crumbl is a US company and doesn't exist in Germany. It still "corrected" my search term and the entire first page of results was for the brand - even though the nearest store is 6000km away.

Uni dept, brutal mega-project. A lot of stress leave, project managers quitting. Colleague died of a heart attack shortly after coming back from stress leave. At the end, half the team were made redundant. What did they call the post-project celebration? Why yes, "Survivors' Lunch". What laughs.
