Your reminder that RealID is the pet project of Larry Ellison.

Rate of increase of the number of things to which the analogy "background radiation steel" applies.

OK so it's dark and rainy and I feel like this story should be shared. The movie Grace Of My Heart is a sort of 'film á clef' loosely based on Carole King's life, interpolating a fictional romance with a character based on Brian Wilson. Musical director J Mascis said they HAD TO use a theremin...

On every public policy committee I sat on - gambling, drugs, animal experiments, law of homicide and others - someone would ask ‘But what would the Daily Mail say about our recommendations?’ I now regret that we never gave the right answer. ‘We shouldn’t care.’

La santa y el cisne — Nieves González

"Life goes on. A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms. Enthusiasms, enthusiasms. What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy?"

We have learned that if the Amerikkkan people cannot have their burgers delivered piping hot for less than it costs in person they will collectively elect a guy who kills a million people in developing nations, so the creation of cheap burrito bots is one of the stronger moral obligations out there

Doctor says, 'Dont worry, parser design is simple. Great programmer Kate Compton has written the parser you seek’

*I blame capitalism's assault on the utopian imaginary

When Bruce Springsteen sang "at night, we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines", he was talking about people who log on to LinkedIn after 6pm to write fanfiction about how good they are at their job.

It's a useful reminder that sometimes tech can make a task more efficient for one side (applying for jobs), and more efficient for the other side (writing job adverts), and yet make the system as a whole completely inefficient.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Standing By The Perimeter Fence And Screaming For Thirty Seconds Before Vanishing Day!

Love the 1970s, when the tube’s closed because of a coded warning so I’ve got to walk across the facking river to get the train back to guildford, but at least i’ve got a quiet pint with the lads to look forward to tonight.

There’s an excellent BBC documentary about Sandhurst, first broadcast in 1975. In which officer cadets take part in a long exercise about civil disorder between the hard left and the hard right amid a breakdown in the British state. #WhatGoodTimes www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Fred Goodwin (for it was he) once told me that RBS developed one of these systems but threw it away because it caused nothing but problems. Every Category 1 customer has a friend or relative who is a Category 5 and when you treat them obviously differently it always angers both.

it’s almost as if publishers will print any old bollocks to sell a newspaper. (the median telegraph reader is ~70 years old)

"quippy marvel movies with a lot of tedious dialogue that feels, for lack of a better word, soylinneal focus grouped... it's like, they're not so far down the humiliating revealed audience preference "that just happened!" gradient" I think that's a pretty good vocabulary for it actually!

So much of film has been taken over by the nerd franchises (for which there is a thing called 'canon' and at least some people care about it) that it's diminished our ability to understand films that don't have that structure, and characters that cannot be understood as existing in a timeline.

Good God, someone's just uploaded to YouTube a nearly 2-hour long video of one of the original Vic Reeves Big Night Out live shows at the Albany Empire from 1989. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPU...

this possibly isn’t even enough to put him in the top three crookedest of the four most recent fifa presidents.

It's me, I'm the guy that whenever I see a particularly good anime I'm like "I love this, but what would be better would be if it was run through the deflavorizing machine to produce a live action thing with American actors in it talking like a marvel movie, full of cgi that looks like total shit"

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

The Culture novels are, among other things, anarchist propaganda about anarchist utopia. that is literally what they are. anyone who reads them and does not see that has missed the point bsky.app/profile/real...

tfw when u r definitely not trying to create debt peonage

No (subject to occasional context) For example, when I went to see Naked lunch one afternoon in an audience of five and two people left after 15 minutes my overhearing one of them to say to the other "where the fuck's Frank Drebin?" was incredibly funny

ARPA: By creating a dense network with decentralised nodes, we can make a resilient communications system. AWS: What if we used that same system to centralise all the nodes?
