"A.I. Isn't People" Another brilliant newsletter post by Rusty Foster: https://www.todayintabs.com/p/a-i-isn-t-people?last_resource_guid=Post%3A150442c6-0f09-4af2-9abe-c3860a644c1d "I don’t need to know what mechanism underlies human intelligence to rule out the possibility that it’s the same […]

I’m currently in Tweed Heads, a town that straddles two time zones. My various devices have all randomly chosen their zones, and my alerts and reminders are freaking out. How do people live like this? #timezones #thatsridiculous #itsnotevenfunny

Tapestry is a fantastic app if, like me, you dislike the Bluesky app and website, but still want to keep track of the resistance lib discourse. I’ve set up a combined Bluesky, Mastodon and Tumblr feed. It’s chronological, synced and colour-coded. Mona is still my main Mastodon app, but when I […]

I'm finally reading Discworld (currently on book 15). My previous attempts failed due to the first (and second) books being a disappointing Douglas Adams pastiche. Once I got to the stories featuring Death, and the witches, hints of greatness emerged. From there the quality has steadily […]

The Traitors (UK) is a fascinating experiment in psychology and group dynamics, with a diverse collection of personalities and backgrounds. The Traitors (US) by contrast is an awful parade of botoxed narcissists, most of whom are professional reality TV ‘stars’. It would be unwatchable if it […]

With the world on the brink of WWIII thanks to the fascist dotard and his enablers, I need a break from doomscrolling. Ichiko Aoba's music is new to me, but she's been active since 2010. Everything about her makes me think of moonlight shimmering on water, and it turns out that water is a theme […]

All of you #experimentalmusic nuts out there should check out the Falt discography on #bandcamp. 192 releases, and everything's compelling. They offer the entire discography for 1 euro, though of course I suggest giving them way more than that in order to support what they do. I just gave them […]

We've been enjoying Chess Masters: The Endgame. It's a sort of chess Bake Off, with Sue Perkins as host, and some endearing contestants. The show is helping my daughter learn about the game, and I've particularly been enjoying the puzzles (an aspect of chess I hadn't really explored). Reviewers […]

This was confronting reading on the day I started my assessment process for ASD & ADHD. The argument seems to be that diagnosis can be self-limiting and stigmatising. The former is surely an individual matter that can be addressed through things like therapy. The latter is a societal issue that […]
