Oooookay, this speaks to me in a deep way, so I immediately went a searching and there exists a list of implementations of the esoteric languages danieltemkin.com/Esolangs and I can feel my time slipping away, just like that

Okay, look, I want to explain a bit about this mystery of why Italians (and other Southern Europeans) are so much more up for rioting than people in the UK. The UK has over 7 million CCTV cameras. That's more than 1 camera per 10 people. London is the 3rd most surveilled city in the world. 1/

Sent a digital publisher's catalogue. In it, a special anniversary edition of a beloved book. They *boast* it's a new translation. Nowhere in the copy do they mention who translated. I zoom in on jacket. Nothing. I look down at writer bio, only the original author. VALUE TRANSLATORS, PEOPLE.

Oooooohhhh! Yes, Tanya Tagaq is coming to Berlin in March. One of those "just hit buy, worry about planning" later moments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LbW... Ticket: disk.stager.co/shop/default...

Despite the weird sound issue, I can most highly recommend catching Drinking Boys And Girls Choir whenever they play near you. Absolute delight. The live recordings available on yt do not do them justice. Their recorded stuff is on bandcamp: band-dbgc.bandcamp.com

Once again I'm at a venue where the sound is loud but does not feel like it. Such a weird sensation, it makes the music sound sterile, like a radio turned up to 10. What is up with that and how do they get this odd sound mix?

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it. This is good video with 5 specific things parents/adults can do:

Eins dieser Worte, die falscher und falscher aussehen, je mehr man drauf guckt

There’s no magic pill. The only way forward is bit by bit, this plus that, tiny steps forward, even after stumbling backwards. I’m not interested in doom and gloom, woe is me, it’s too late. Go in your corner and cry while the rest of us try and do what we can how we can when we can. We can.

Arrived at a gig of an older band, Herbst In Peking, and it's somewhat delightful but also weird to find the audience is primarily my actual age group. 🤣😂🤣

@msashleydavies.bsky.social My ex once berated me for not carrying matches. I don’t smoke, I reminded him. But I do, he said. In that case, I countered, why don’t you carry tampons?

Oooh, a while back someone uploaded my favourite breakcore mix ever. Enduser creates such great textures, always makes me float www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKRl...

That eternal surprise of editing a shell script while it's running leading to the script changing while running giving delightfully cryptic error messages. I've found this weird from day one, expecting the shell to have read the whole thing once. Brought to you by line 25: ME: command not found

Was watching some window cleaners walking on a domed glass roof opposite my office, in drizzling rain! This then lead to a lengthy reminiscence of watching window cleaners in London in various precarious positions 😅 and the pros and cons of the various international window designs

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: In Kmart at 9pm. Two men (late teens) are looking at the Star Wars Lego. One slowly says to the other: "Hey...whaddya think the Death Star smells like?" The other frowns: "Dunno. Lynx deodorant?" Thoughtful silence follows. (1)

Modern governing: increasing prices of low cost stuff just to make the poor poorer and slowly drive more and more people into poverty Super infuriating, and hard to get middle class folks to see how insidious this is 😬

Which cover songs are better than the original? Hearing this was a revelation. It made me realise that a song can be astounding regardless of its interpretation. youtu.be/AqmsH8KOIb4

Oha, es geht sachte in Richtung Bullshit aufräumen. Weiter so www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amer...

Osun-Osogbo, the sacred grove in Nigeria. An important place in DEATH OF THE AUTHOR. Years ago, me (a writer), CJ Obasi (a filmmaker) and Mara Menzies (a storyteller) tried so hard to get there from Abeokuta. 😆 I was so upset about that failed trip that I wrote about the place. One day, man.

Brings up fond memories of the late 80s standing in a West Berlin phone booth (unlimited length local calls for ~10 cents) and hooking up to a bulletin board with one of these Epson HX-20 laptops with acoustic coupler modem.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Hackers

Jetzt schwappt der Charlie Kirk Bullshit auch zu uns rüber. Ich empfehle, sich ein klein wenig über Groypers zu informieren: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers Der gesamte Scheiss kann viel besser mit ein bisschen Verständnis der US rechtsextremen Szene eingeordnet werden.

We just launched a new version of the Surveillance Watch platform with improved filtering and search, detailed entity analysis views, better visualization of connections between entities & investors, a more accessible lite version etc. Have a look at the latest updates at www.surveillancewatch.io

*deep sigh* I get that this is clickbait, but Janja Garnbret is objectively a better competition climber than Jakob Schubert. And it's not particularly close! Yet Janja gets the "world's best FEMALE climber" title, and Jakob is just the "world's best climber." Fuck off.

Fucking hell, US news is a cesspit. Should really try harder to not look at that at all anymore, mindnumbing cruelty in all corners, wild

Es wird also gegen deutsche Rechtsradikale vorgegangen, ja? Ja? www.tagesschau.de/inland/innen... Ich gehe nicht davon aus, sondern es wird ein Vorwand sein, um noch mehr Hass zu schüren.

How it feels to take on too much too long.

I love so many of these John & Faith Hubley films with all my heart. I used to have to go to marathon retrospectives to see them. For the next two weeks, you can still see them on the Criterion Channel. www.criterionchannel.com/six-films-by...

I feel that covid on top of leaded fuel has fried the brains of many adults. Cannot otherwise explain to myself how so many people around my age are acting so destructively

Field mouse snacking on sunflower seeds that have fallen down in between a small ornamental quince bush

Fascinating, but not in a good way, how media, social or not, has become pointless within 24 hours (delete&repost because of extremely annoying typo)

Shaping up to be a fabulous autumn, already have tickets for 16 gigs before years end. Looking forward to it so much, since summers are always so devoid of concerts, since everyone is at festivals. Next week kicks it off with clipping. (hopefully utilizing The Bug's basstastic soundsystem)

New discovery for me, I did not know you could have soulful noise rock, fabulous stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXqL...

"George Clinton’s my favourite artist of all time, and Parliament-Funkadelic is the most important musical project that ever existed. I could have chosen almost any of their albums" #DaveedDiggs of #Clipping on #Funkadelic - The Electric Spanking Of War Babies buff.ly/xfm5xBj

this brief video contains an accurate yet accessible explainer to complex ideologies permeating silicon valley and by extension the AI industry

This thread had me agog. Like wtf. 🤬

this documentary is *wild* I'd best cash money Robert Eggers has seen it

Slightly diminish a book The Earl of the Rings

It's great e-bikes appear to lure more people away from cars. The downside though, is that you get a lot more cyclists who behave as if they're driving, you know speeding, ringing bell at pedestrians, passing too close. A real uptick the past 2 years. Also, always-on headlights blinding oncomers.

@eleanormorton.bsky.social nails the revulsion so many of us feel for the ‘AI’-ification of everything. 🤣 www.youtube.com/shorts/8-lgJ...

Great video on how German colonisation of Namibia is still changing the land. Also very interesting that tree and bush growth is a negative indicator in this landscape. forensic-architecture.org/investigatio...
