Interesting read on what a gig in Dublin actually costs to put on, and what an act can make from it

EA just open sourced Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Renegade and Generals
I can't quite believe it either. Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Command & Conquer Renegade and Command & Conquer Generals (inc. Zero Hour) have their code officially open sourced.

I'm not a big Kendrick Lamar fan, and thought his Superbowl half time performance was just fine, but I will say this - it's stayed with me longer than any other performance I've seen

I've broken two different AI tools this week by asking them to solve a countdown numbers puzzle, e.g. "combine the numbers 2, 4, 6, 9, 25, and 75, using each number once, to reach 683"
It's quite funny

I wrote a little bit about David Lynch for @secondwindgroup.com.

The piece is free to read.

READ: www.patreon.com/posts/column...
It was reported yesterday that filmmaker David Lynch passed away at the age of 78. There is a tendency when writing about David Lynch to focus on the director’s eccentricities: the Woody Woodpecker dolls, the bizarre Oscar campaign for Laura Dern for Inland Empire, the online weather reports, the weirdness of his films, the weirdness of his commercials, the fact that “Lynchian” is an adjective with a very clear but difficult to define meaning, Mel Brooks’ famous description of Lynch as “Jimmy Stewart from Mars.” These were all facets of David Lynch, perhaps the most central surrealist artist in American pop culture since the end of the Second World War. Lynch attained a public profile that was relatively rare for an artist of his kind, particularly into the turn of the millennium. For all that Lynch was an absurdist whose work could be obtuse and reject categorization, he was allowed to occupy a place of primacy in American culture. He was truly respected and venerated. George Lucas wanted Lynch to direct Return of the Jedi. Steven Spielberg wanted to direct the second season premiere of Twin Peaks and cast Lynch as John Ford in his auteurbiographical film The Fabelmans. ABC hired Lynch to create Twin Peaks, which not only aired on national prime time television, but became an international sensation. Even outside of his art and his films, Lynch was a beloved public persona, holding down recurring roles on sitcoms like Louie and The Cleveland Show. This gets at the paradox of Lynch. Lynch might have been a truly singular artist, but he wasn’t an outsider. Lynch was part of the mainstream. He was on the cover of Time. He won the Palme d’Or at Cannes for Wild at Heart in the same year that Twin Peaks was dominating the culture. Mulholland Drive has been named the best film (to date) of this young century. Cahiers du Cinema named Twin Peaks: The Return the best film of the 2010s. Lynch was nominated three times for the Best Director Oscar..
