An act we wanted to see was replaced at the last minute by Altern-8, whose oeuvre I adore but whose last few live acts have been.. spotty? Anyway the other room had someone billed simply as “Farrah” who was just non stop awesome.

“Are you a cybergoth” someone asks. I dunno, how does one tell?

frying up some mushrooms for lunch while listening to Champignon Sound by Q-Project

Hello I am in the very silly place again. They are apparently removing someone’s brain onstage beneath the flying saucer and replacing it with an ALIEN BRAIN which has an amen break instead of brainwaves.

I think the only thing the weather icon is missing is a little lightning bolt?

Saw Hamlet at the NT and the stand-out performance turned out to be Claudius, played by yer man who was the headmaster in Sex Education

Have to say I’m not a huge fan of the govt policy of making peoples’ backups less secure support.apple.com/en-us/122234

Lots of people are dunking on the “Nobody knows what magnets are” business but none of them are providing a concise explanation of the spin statistics theorem.

I made the mistake of doing a headcount out loud on a small hike last night and realised my mistake as I reached 5. I went for the slightly sarcastic “very good, come on, let’s go” but last time I was in that particular interaction I was one of the feral teenagers.

Genuinely worried that it’s now possible to run out of In Our Time and then I don’t know how I’ll get any housework done

10/10, no notes

The tale of Mister Bone Saw Meets The Thermocline Of Truth is every bit as distasteful as you would expect

Get you a clothing brand that shares their process and their Processing

Congratulations NYC on finally getting a charismatic Muslim mayor who genuinely loves his city

Not sure whether this is a bug or a joke about the reliability of CJK rendering

Game of Wool is great but honestly if you just did a show called Tom Daley Wears Things that would probably be a hit in itself?

If I were a Kpop Demon I’d definitely be feeling very hunted this evening

TIL the narrator for Sarah and Duck is the same guy who played Javert in the 1985 Les Mis

What a great photo, and also a great reminder that (1) I should umm check the bot's notifications more often, and (2) by far the most fun way to go through Tower Bridge is on the Waverley.

One fears the zipvan people found something out the hard way

The obvious solution would be to build the world’s biggest paternoster lift

As someone who’s vaguely instinctively unionist, it feels very odd to be driven towards the republicanism of neglect, ie the notion that it would be quite nice for NI to be part of a state which at least acknowledges its existence thedetail.tv/articles/hmr...

Every girl can do instant price-yield calculations for treasuries, YAS QUEEN

My bad take on That Harpers Article (and a whole pile of other stuff happening rn) is that we accidentally built a giant machine for power-method diagonalizing the human mind, and people are freaking out because the eigenvectors actually turn out to be the way we’ve guessed they’d be for millennia.

hey guys i found glonzo!

so my first inkling of this morning’s US-EAST-1 outage was the family gc complaining about wordle being flaky; i should hook up my dad to a prometheus alert or something

Bunch of Jacksonville Jaguars fans on the tube and none of them are Jason Mendoza, I am disappoint

One of life’s little pleasures is to be on a quiet overground train through a city on a bright morning. You get to peer at the structure, without the chaos and obfuscation caused by everything being in operation.

Yet another "It would be real nice if Westminster actually behaved as if they meant it when they talked about the UK rather than just England" case, although it does give me an excuse to post this excellent video www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y_d...

Never mind age verification: mandatory monochrome CSS and GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING: SOCIAL MEDIA ROTS YOUR BRAIN on front page of sites, along with randomly chosen horrifying @thelouvreof.bsky.social screencap

The Teenager enjoyed his music class (hurrah!) but now the already inherently fox/chicken/grain nature of wrangling offspring has the extra comedy of every task potentially having “with a tuba” added on

Tried a Lime bike for the first time and it was great but now I get why accidents are an issue - as soon as you move the pedals it shoots off, so it’s built like a tank but handles like a Wile E Coyote gag

Hello i am at the old persons rave (Eat Static album launch party)

It had not hitherto occurred to me that one of the most powerful refutations of historical determinism is The Devil Wears Prada (2006) but I’m here for it

I had this on while scrubbing the walls; @julietk.bsky.social wandered in and said “what is this, goth dancefloor bangers 2002?”. Umm, pretty much literally, yes 😳 www.mixcloud.com/djfross/dj-f...

Still remember the day in 2008 when the phone was ringing off the hook with people wanting us to step into their trades, which for some reason all seemed to be facing Lehman

Gonna continue today’s run of reposting high quality trolling with this beauty docs.rs/crate/fibona...

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Noticed before the bot this time because she did a big parp coming up to the bridge.

Are you allowed to consider a song to be an (honorary?) 90s track if it was written in 1979 BUT it appeared on the Trainspotting soundtrack?

Renovating what will become The Teenager’s new bedroom and with the floor up and no furniture it has AMAZING thumpy bassy acoustics. Sorry neighbours, hope you like early 00s EBM!

RELAX don’t do it when you wanna post through it

No strong views on this except that “The Saint” by Orbital should be bottom of the list, extremely terrible way to end a great album therunoutgrooves.substack.com/p/readers-po...

I had the honor of photographing Jane Goodall who was wonderful. After the shoot, her asst was by us setting up for an interview. I said how great she looked for her age. He said it's the whiskey. I said what? He said yeah, she has a glass each evening. I asked her usual and he said black label. RIP

Also in "things you only ever see at psytrance parties": last night some dude had a tattoo on his neck of what I later worked out was the expression for the Schmidt decomposition of a wavefunction. I asked him about it and he said "yeah it's about quantum entanglement but I don't understand it!"

One thing I’ll say about raves is that the quality of topless men has improved significantly in the last twenty years

A different choice of flow state tonight
