Pre-ordering a paperback months in advance knowing I will forget I've done it. Future me will love it when it arrives.

When this is all over, every single person who voted for and enabled him should be forced to pay reparations and make a daily apology to the rest of the world.

Only yesterday I was in a meeting where I was asked about using AI for a brands clothing range photography. I think I kept the swearing down to around 3 "f**ks" and and still got my thoughts over clearly.

'The Hermit' from my Tarot inspired designs for Peter Carpenter's 'Bowieland'. We walked the landscapes and places of Bowie, met many people and many ghosts. #davidbowie www.christopherking.org/bowieland

Can't help feeling that in this particular 'reboot' for an American audience: Venezuela is Austria then Greenland is Poland

An extraordinary, brilliant line.

I'm with Jeff on this one.

"Oh no, this tech-thing/platform has become so bad its almost unusable" - then why are you still using it? Just stop. How much AI/fascist shit are you willing to eat before you walk away?

Corporations invaded the net, took it over and turned it into an accelerationist nightmare. But they are ignoring the real world in the process. They believe they are leaving it behind for something abstract and better. Let them take the net as long as we can take back the real world.

Something about autumn just makes me want to wear big wooly jumpers and corderoy jackets while listening to Ronnie Lane and drinking real ale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ0A...

This. So much fucking THIS

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I grew up in the New Forest, we saw him all the time.

Peter Carpenter talks to Ryan Murdock about Bowieland on the Personal Landscapes podcast. Discussing how the book came about and some of the many places we walked in search of Bowie. #booksky #bowie www.personallandscapespodcast.com/p/peter-carp...

I think its definitely time for France to ask for the Statue of Liberty back. Actually, at this rate she may just walk home.

Props to the three young lads having a beer outside a pub on Tottenham Court Road who enthusiastically beckoned over a bloke draped in a St George flag only to tell him “Fuck off out of our town you fat fascist fuck.” Swelled with London pride.

I see indicators seem to be an optional extra on most cars now.

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.

Sunday night.

David Bowie's wisdom always hits the mark. 🎯

"we have developed AI technology that can help you develop endless creative possibilities and bring them into reality!" .. nah, its ok, I already have something for that. #aislop #fuckai

The other night I had a dream about kicking around an off season British holiday camp with David Lynch. The next morning I walked down a local side street to avoid the crowds and saw this on a fire exit. A pleasing synchronicity. #hastings #stleonardsonsea

I bought the proper baking trays to make madeleines. I now mostly only eat madeleines. Send help.

I personally think the only way to cope with the massively accelerating wrongness of the world is a sound understanding of fairie lore (specifically circa 1400-1700). This will help: shwep.net/oddcast/samu...

Rewatched 'Prometheus' (2012) and was struck that the android David's use of Peter O'Toole's interpetation of T.E Lawrence as the basis of its 'personality' is very much like todays LLM's stealing their identity from already existing creative works. Wearing it like a mask.

"Bad history is the basis for the vision of the future being written by tech CEOs to sell their products." Love this.

I stumbled across this photograph today, it seems to drift on the edge of the imaginal .. can this be real? Or has myth punctured the surface of the actual. #narwhal
