Going to see Autechre tonight. It's an eye-wateringly expensive ticket, that I moaned about for a good two hours before adding to basket. But I think I'm worth it.

Much anger and outrage in our household from this decision yesterday. Perhaps it's time we, as a society, begin prerecording our football matches, and live broadcasting our highbrow quiz shows.

One of my fave @shardcore.org projects. Back when a) everyone wasn't sick to death of generative AI and it was still funny, and b) we still had the energy to do The Great Escape.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

Having read a book on the "afterlife of pop stars" recently, I now *need* to know if Shirley Collins was working at Brighton Job Centre at the same time Kevin Rowland was signing on. Reckon there's a sitcom in it.
