Please, Apple, do this one right.
Neuromancer by @greatdismal.bsky.social finally gets a TV series. Could be amazing, but expectations will be high from all of us who read these books when we were young.

Count Zero was a personal fave.

Yes! Signed.

Also a bunch of libraries are pulping way more than half of their books to give spaces for people just to look at their phones. There’s a mutilation happening and the thinking is that they’re more “community hubs” than libraries. I’m calling these wannabe bookless places ‘vibaries’

That only 12,000 people get to tell the story of seeing the great North side win their second in a row is an indictment on the salaries of the visionless executive of #AFL

Three women working four days a week could do a better job than those overpaid plonkers

The extra layer to this tragedy is that the Wang Fuk towers were built under a public housing scheme established in the 1950s after a devastating shanty town fire in nearby Shek Kip Mei.

Wait Spotify bought whosampled?!?
The story slightly buried in this announcement of the launch of SongDNA and the expansion of song credits is that they acquired WhoSampled to do this. I guarantee you there's about to be a slew of bad info attached to music now and it'll be damn near impossible to get corrected.

The free fed square gig loses its point once tickets come in.

Then it just becomes just another event that's centered around getting onto a ticketing website on time - just like everything else.

Don't let it lose its real life, off-screen spontaneous magic.

This is the logical outcome of just destroying public services over decades - nobody can do anything.
