Not owning a dog is one of the top three actions you can take to fight #ClimateChange – Associated Press.

Antimatter has been transported for the first time (by truck, not beam-me-up-scotty-style), 92 anti-protons, to be exact. Btw, a gram of antimatter will set you back $62.5 trillion. #physics #science

This is what I call great industrial! A Manufactura/W.A.S.T.E./NMX collab remixed by Xotox. #industrialmusic #technoindustrial #ebm

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a movie for our time – a satire about the algorithm. The first half gets 7/10 from me, but then it devolves into predictability and boredom. #scifimovies #satire

If you were/are a fan of Billy Idol's 80s music, the doccie 'Billy Idol Should Be Dead' is finally streaming. #punk #newwave #billyidol

Casinos wouldn't exist if they couldn't exploit this. Another cognitive bias casinos exploit is the sunk cost fallacy, where you'd rather continue being conned, otherwise it would've all been or nothing.

Listening to the latest releases by Tom Wax, Robyn, PIG, Nina Hagen (not sure why I still try), Tortured Souls (Manufactura/W.A.S.T.E.), Project Pitchfork, @teknovore.bsky.social (so far the only great one!), Ladytron and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. #alternativemusic #goth #industrialmusic #synthpop

Today, 30 years ago, Swiss industrial artists Swamp Terrorists released their final studio album. #industrialmusic

Non-tribalistic insights by ex-security advisor to Obama: US, China, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, Putin, Trump, the US-China AI race, Biden, US illegal immigration, the global rise of the right, etc. #gaza #trump #china

It's true.

SO close...

The Russian malware is now freely available for exploitation. Even owners of ancient iPhones have security updates available for Darksword, so I reeeeeeally would allow my phone to install it if I were you. #apple #iphone

Some days, I want the world's megalomaniac leaders to be banished to Antarctica, where they can fight it out to their heart's content. I realise that wars are an inevitable part of humanity, but f..k 'em all.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of a classic – Depeche Mode's Black Celebration. My favourite track still is Fly on the Windscreen (Final). #EBM #futurepop #synthpop #darkwave

It's Friday! Listening to the new @teknovore.bsky.social EP, and it kicks ass. For industrial techno and psytrance fans. Fave tracks are def. the first and last. #industrialmusic

Seen in a comment on YouTube: "Mango Mussolini" – a new name for the orange man-child.

This Gen Xer's ratings of new Trek (in blue). Starfleet Academy is aimed at Gen Alpha and Gen Z, while Discovery was made for Gen Z and Y. Picard was boring overall (but I'm grateful for it), and SNW is updated old Trek for everyone ... and freaking awesome 🖖 #scifi #startrek

Today's lovely temp. in my suburb. That's a 106°F to Americans.

I haven't seen Harrison Ford like this. Cheers, Han.

When you're five years old, 1 year represents 20% of your entire life, but at fifty, it accounts for just 2%, which helps explain why time feels like it speeds up as we age – instagram.com/p/DVXwi6xDT4s/

I missed International #EBM Day a week ago. Electronic Body Music and much of what it gave birth to accounts for 70% of the music I still love.

Fascinating case study. It looks like Spotify really is generating AI music, releasing it under fake names with fake follower stats, fake photos and fake selfie videos on social media.

I've been playing this track repeatedly. Great remix by Project Pitchfork, and I'm def. going to check out Kaos Karma's discography. #goth #industrialmusic

RAM, SSDs, graphics cards and now hard disks ... everything is becoming expensive thanks to demand created by AI data centres. F. you, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Anthropic, Twitter 🖕

From yesterday's video by my favourite photographer, Daniel Kordan: "The most magical morning in Hokkaido today. Lake Toya." threads.com/@danielkordan/post/DUvKrfNCPFj I took the liberty of removing a person in the pic, and used Photoshop to remove compression artefacts and upscale it. #photography

Last week marked the 30th anniversary of my favourite maxi single: Front Line Assembly's stand-alone release Plasticity. It included a Haujobb remix and Replicant, a tribute to Blade Runner. Importing it from Germany cost this poor soul an arm and a leg, but it was worth it. #industrialmusic

Last week marked the 30th anniversary of Nick Cave's Murder Ballads, the last* of his great albums, by my taste. My favourite track is still Henry Lee, with PJ Harvey. *Except for the first Grinderman album and the heartbreaking Ghosteen. #nickcave #alternativefolk #goth

Watching Skinamarink for the first time. #horrormovies #liminalhorror #filmsky

Watching The Empire Strikes Back, when I got reminded of the "When You Arrive at the Goth Club Early" meme. This is *exactly* what it used to be like back in the day. #goth

My favourite #horrormovies of the 2020s. Praise be to Coralie Fargeat, the #Cronenberg family, and M Night Shyamalan.

My favourite #scifimovies of the 2020s, in order ... and by @letterboxd.social's definition. I can recommend all of them.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Haujobb's 'Solutions for a Small Planet' – my favourite of their many albums. EBM, dark electro and electro-industrial influenced by modern electronic styles like drum 'n' bass and IDM. #industrialmusic
