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

There's a Sparks album called "Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins". (Good title but not one of their best albums. But the PSB-esque single "When Do I Get to Sing 'My Way'" has its moments.)

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

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)

Was just thinking how there are grants to move to heat pumps but the grants dry up if you start looking at heat pumps which also do cooling, even though the pumps could transfer heat in either direction, and meanwhile more and more people are buying portable AC faced with rising temperatures

Still seeing people heading to exams as I head to work every morning and feeling very sorry for them (I thought it was bad enough exam season being hayfever season and sitting under the sports hall roof clattering in the wind, but 3 hours stressing & dehydrating in an AC-less 40°C hall? Oof)

Petition to rename the area something feline & cosmic in honour of the space cat mural on the corner of Catherine St and Percy St imo
Space cat mural, Catherine St., Oxford OX4. Art by: [Instagram] _wall2wall_.

A painting on the side of a house depicting an unimpressed-looking black & white cat in a spacesuit beside a rocket taking off. Background: dark purple sky, clouds of smoke from the rocket launch, Mars-like red planet.

[Edit: moved _wall2wall_ tag, actually >1 metre right of the lamp-post, into frame]

(Much love from tilebreaker/platesmasher/lazyserf/ls/#|/exploding_head_movie and Christ knows what other stupid names I've used on local music messageboards over the years. Never a real scener, just terminally online. Guess it's too late to record a demo for the Tracks page, eh...)

Oxford's had some pretty great bands (and successful bands) and been on the touring map for out-of-town bands way out of proportion for its size, thanks in large part to the scene that Nightshift did so much to foster. (Oh, but thanks for the demo dumper laughs too. Have a good retirement, Ronan.)

What an end of an era. I feel bereft already. Haven't been to many gigs lately & somehow felt that whenever I had the energy to get back into it Nightshift would always be there to guide me. RIP. So many great bands (local and otherwise) discovered through those inky pages. Thank you for all that.

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.
