"The resurgent war on knowledge, academics, expertise, and critical thinking that AI is currently supercharging has its roots in the hugely successful recent war [...] that painted librarians, teachers, scientists, and public workers as untrustworthy." www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

Check out the newest single and video for 'UNARCHIVER' from Blood Cultures that will be in this stupid little skateboarding game Stream: pack.createmusic.fm/unarchiver www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vI_...

Friends, we're back to self-publishing (which is both fun and scary). We'd be really happy if you wishlist the Simogo Legacy Collection if you have any interest in it! store.steampowered.com/app/3817040/...

This is, having listened to it twice already, extremely good. Excellent video too.

We need your help!!! We're supported by CGN2 to run a series of discussion events at @broadwaycinema.bsky.social to show the need for a grassroots performing arts space in Nottingham city centre and we want to hear from you :) Find out how to take part at www.chronicinsanity.co.uk/post/we-need...

Greens - Lower bills through nationalising our public services, wealth tax on assets and huge increase in investment in our public services. Labour - ID Cards, random statements about flags and Austerity 2.0. But apparently the Green Party are the "vibes era?" Make it make sense!

Technically competent as I am, and as stable as Ableton Live usually is for me, it sure is fun when it starts crashing repeatedly when I'm trying to hit a deadline. This happens to folks a lot! Maybe poor organising (by me), but there's definitely an air of cosmic bedevilement in urgent moments!

Lovely find in the @b3ta.com newsletter - a collection of "AI" chatbot's attempts to create a simple clock. It'll reassure you we're not yet near the opening scenes of Terminator clocks.brianmoore.com

A sneaky weekend drop of the new GAME STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES, in which we spend 3 hours talking about a book that is 80 pages long! It's worth it, though, as few texts have been as impactful on how we talk about our present moment as Mark Fisher's CAPITALIST REALISM: rangedtouch.com/2025/10/31/8...

The BIG ROBOT games are all discounted on Steam this weekend! If you enjoyed being hunted by murderous robots or exploring eldritch landscapes, or just chilling in an eerie sci-fi place, then these are for you. store.steampowered.com/developer/bi...

My Brutalist Christmas cards are back by popular demand! Get yours here www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/christmas-ca...

We keep hearing about “difficult choices” to justify spending cuts. Real difficult choices are between heating and eating, paying your rent or your bills. The government can make another choice, and it’s not difficult: tax the super-rich.

Please DSP devs, no more distortion/saturation plugins, I have Roar at home (Ableton Live). (I know, not all DAWs have something as excellent as Roar, but fml I've seen something like 10+ distortions released in the last week)

Don't Kefir the Reaper.

When I go off on big tech, less online friends think I'm whinging about a hobby issue, and I am, but the *entirety of life* is now mediated by technology. Articles like this demonstrate what uncaring and corrupt custodians big tech are, and how desperately we need govts to hold them to account.

Fade In version 5 is available (finally). www.fadeinpro.com/page.pl?cont...

I don't think you can call it a free plugin if you have to provide data, sign up for an account, or do a zero price checkout process...

Our movement is living rent free in the heads of Telegraph journalists at the moment. Join me in being ‘a threat to the right that they never saw coming’. join.greenparty.org.uk

At the start of my PhD programme I was given a couple hundred business cards. I probably gave out two of them at conferences etc. over time. They are now woefully out of date, since I'm no longer a candidate but a fully-fledged doc. They do make pretty good bookmarks though.

I've been spinning my wheels after a few setbacks, but a thing I've done recently is create themed days to stop choice paralysis about what I should be working on. Admin Mondays! Development Tuesdays! Etc. It has really helped (so far) in moving forward post-PhD.
