It took two sittings but thoroughly enjoyed One Battle After Another. Gorgeously shot and edited, phenomenal performances, and amazing soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood.

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

Read another article about how LLMs have a certain discernible vocabulary or style, and that people might now be imitating this style, and I think the missing clue you’re looking for is books. Books writers wrote. People are accidentally becoming literate.

Laptop froze. After reboot, thunderbird had cleared all my unread email, so I went from 8600 unread emails to 5.
Should do this more often.

Started playing Hollow Knight: Silksong by @teamcherry.bsky.social at the weekend, or rather: the 9-year old, she’s absolutely killing it! But I’m utterly and completely in love with the art and graphics. Stunningly gorgeous!

Every era celebrates its conservation heroes. Far fewer remember the destroyers.

My new piece, The Hall of Infamy, traces a century of leaders, industries, and institutions that liquidated the living world — and left us the bill.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

A fairly quirky and nerdy video by @bennjordan.bsky.social about the processes and software of early Aphex Twin.

An entertaining watch… Feel like a dinosaur for actually knowing (and still using) most of this software.

Severely recommended.
Excited to release Mark Fell’s ‘Psychic Resynthesis’ today. This feels like a landmark album for Mark, a perfect realisation of his unique methods of cross-discipline collaboration, which ties up many threads of his musical history in one enigmatic statement. frozenreeds.bandcamp.com/album/psychi...
