lmao

Today in "music press actually needs to die as well", discovered that Black Dog released another album, "Loud Ambient". And was looking information about it. And the couple of reviews I found are absolute rubbish, not talking about them at all.

On unrelated good news, I was able to level my avatar to level 3 in ultima 5

Me: does nothing Listify: this random guy who has more or less the same thinking and music tastes has blocked you

oh were are back to covid lockdown discourse I see

If someone has two followers, a brand new account and is responding to you with a strong political view, the correct thing to do is block them.

played a bit of the good old Wizardry 6 today. Spent like 50 dice rolls to create my characters. Then had to re enter the same trader shop like 20 times to find the items I need. That accounted for around 2 hours

Just a random electronic tune I was remembering today www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-CB...

Given that the money raised from this is going to amount to loose change in the government accounts, the only reason it is being proposed is to satisfy the cruellest instincts of the worst voters and media outlets. Gutter politics

El gobierno laborista propone confiscar (es decir, robar) las joyas de los que pidan asilo político. Bueno, menos los anillos de matrimonio porque no son tan malos. Los comentarios se escriben solos

if a machine ever told me I was 'goated with the sauce' I would start the Butlerian Jihad.

just saw the worst gaming ad ive ever seen

one thing I read here that still chases me is "cats were introduced in the UK during the Roman Empire, which clearly show they are invasive species"

Abascal, Alpiste y todo el PP perdiendo el sueño pensando si siguen a los trumpianos en esto o no

This is more believable than a lot of insider westminster coverage

This is wonderful, and something I always thought of Star Trek/Wars/Tolkien/etc and rest of the video games: simplistic models are fantastic for narrowing your storytelling or creating gameplay, but some folks think that the real life is like those simplistic models

one can only dream

Things that I constantly see on social media that I find very weird:

Name an album that had an animal on the cover

Massive couple of years for guys who look kinda like this

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Not sure I quite agree with Tim. Sure the ideological and party machine specifics are unique to New York and the US. But understanding that a willingness to fight, to highlight easy to grasp policies and shape discourse rather than chase polls and focus groups has lessons applicable to any society

al malismo en tierras anglosajonas le llaman Vice Signalling y me parece un término igual de bueno que el popularizado por @tyrexito.bsky.social

happy halloween

estaba mirando Mythical Kitchen y me hace gracia la cantidad de invitados que opinan que la mejor comida del mundo son carne con patatas fritas, o en general cosas fritas, empanadas y rebozadas www.youtube.com/@mythicalkit...

my ongoing discourse that most of the substack journalists are living in the most enclosed echo chamber where no one is telling them "what the hell are you writing there" still getting validation via my substack newsletters

13 years ago I took a flight to London

Tengo un ticket de sobra para el MIRA. Lo dejo rebajadisimo, como yo

research prompted by this meme is how I, a former Econ minor, learned Keynes was a) bisexual an b) genuinely would have loved grindr based on the number of dudes he hooked up with who are specifically listed in his Wikipedia page (good for him!)

I watched The Worricker Trilogy these days and it's depressing how utopic it is: politicians that actually care about the country, voters that actually get outraged by politicians' bad acts, and a press that does their job.

💥🤯Shocking findings from this new IMF working paper: inflation outcomes were similar between inflation targeting and non-inflation targeting countries, despite more aggressive rate hikes by the former. 🔗 Read more: www.imf.org/en/Publicati... #MonetaryPolicy #Inflation #CentralBanks

Watching a comic con interview with Sigourney Weaver and they highlight only, and just only, the most successful horror and sci fi. And the interviews are only about that. It is so weird how dramas are buried in film history because now tastes are so compartimentalised.

Half of the insta stories of my personal trainer are posing showing muscles, the other half is him meeting cats on the street and getting friendly with him. I love this guy so much

Esto tiene huevos por cierto. Imaginad la gente de mi edad que sois ya personas respetables con familia y demás que volvéis a salir a un garito y ponen exactamente los mismos temas electrónicos que en 2003. Exactamente los mismos. Hasta los Vengaboys suenan al menos una vez por mes.

Today I attended my first streamed funeral and burial. It was kind of weird but the distance to India made this the only option. My uncle went as a missionary there in the 60s, staying in a very modest congregation and town.

Fuck Roisin Murphy. Last time I type that name

Este año he hablado mucho en inglés comparado con otros, pero siempre han sido las mismas dos palabras: FUCK OFF

oh that Labour quote can fuck right off

This is a really good way to read A Canticle For Leibowitz. Really nice radio drama.

My in laws meeting my family and they get on well and this is so great

As stated, current right wing parties would let British abroad left to rot. And NI. And Scotland. And the economy. Absolutely everything. Inflicting pain on the most people is their policy, no matter their consequences

cada vez que leo esto en español o en inglés recuerdo que al gobierno británico también les importa tres mierdas los que viven fuera

Again, flipo con lo internacionalista que es la derecha, que se van copiando los deberes unos a otros www.gov.uk/government/n...

Album of the day: one of those wonderful artifacts of the era when techno could be happily melodic and sound like it was done with a computer in a room that made melodies, not a direct dancefloor banger dennisdesantis.bandcamp.com/album/clock-...

btw rereading "Red Mars" from Kim Stanley Robinson to see how much the reread would change my feelings about it, and actually they changed nothing: well structured, bad characters, bad speculation, a very USA-centric centre-left view of every other person around and every conflict

Feel like today is the day to put my favourite love songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTvg...
