In the event that anyone is perplexed by this ongoing story, it's just pointless busywork to stop people from doing their job.
Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

J.R.R. Tolkien, literal Butlerian Jihadist
![from a letter by JRR Tolkien to his son Michael:
[here is] the tragedy and despair of all machinery laid bare. Unlike art which is content to create a new secondary world in the mind, it attempts to actualize desire, and so to create power in this World; and that cannot really be done with any real satisfaction. Labour-saving machinery only creates endless and worse labour. And in addition to this fundamental disability of a creature, is added the Fall, which makes our devices not only fail of their desire but turn to new and horrible evil. So we come inevitably from Daedalus and Icarus to the Giant Bomber. It is not an advance in wisdom! This terrible truth, glimpsed long ago by Sam Butler, sticks out so plainly and is so horrifyingly exhibited in our time, with its even worse menace for the future, that it seems almost a world wide mental disease that only a tiny minority perceive it. Even if people have ever heard the legends (which is getting rarer) they have no inkling of their portent. How could a maker of motorbikes name his product Ixion cycles! Ixion, who was bound for ever in hell on a perpetually revolving wheel! Well, I have got over 2 thousand words onto this little flimsy airletter; and I will forgive the Mordor-gadgets some of their sins, if they will bring it quickly to you](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eawrzkefxggvqbrmagkhsmcc/bafkreiehclqi7gi5ioox33zjtsvsk3aid326opn3ix6a2cadj3morubefq@jpeg)

Last night I posted something so unrelatable that the recipient deleted their account. Actually. If you are reading this, I fucked it and sorry. Mental health comes first. Also, I am unsatisfied with the answer to my oblique question, so if you could just... make another account?

Loyalist paramilitary groups are heavily infiltrated by state agents and low level informants. How, 31 years after their ceasefires have they managed to recuit & maintain 12,500 members under the supposed 'watch' of the state? The state is facilitating the build up of asymmetric terror. [2/n]
Loyalist paramilitary groups in NI 'have 12,500 members'
Briefings, based on PSNI and MI5 intelligence, have been obtained by BBC NI's Spotlight.

What am I not understanding about Knives Out movies? Everything about them that is different from most Agatha Christie movies is an irritant. The constant reminders of what year it is, the anticathartic storytelling and spoiled endings. What is it for?

If you've got any Bandcamp Friday bunce left over after copping the Los Thuthanaka album, consider my own wares! If you've enjoyed my music lately, supporting on Bandcamp genuinely helps me keep making it around the day job. Most albums are pay-what-you-want. I pray you want. maxtundra.bandcamp.com

I have discovered that the path to posting dominance is to talk about Minnesotan food. As someone not seeking posting dominance, I have no idea what to do with that intel.

Exciting news for Virginia Astley fans. A CD of her new-ish music The Singing Places is available to pre-order through her Bandcamp page. Beautiful music. To me, it sounds like an autumnal sequel to her classic album From Gardens Where We Feel Secure. virginiaastley.bandcamp.com/album/the-si...

You should be listening to more music crafted by human hands, like ³oæh by Autechre & The Hafler Trio.
I'm not exactly joking btw; good code, good AI and good music are one.
That said if you don't know who those artists are it, uh, might not be your bag.
Piss on Chappie,

Personally, I would have added the new Foetus album, Halt, to my list of picks, had I been aware of it in time. It's a bit of a surprise, to me at least, I didn't even know there was one in the works until last week.

Mother by Harriet Brown was a very good song relative to how many (no) people brought it up around me when it came out.
