Last Rights by Skinny Puppy, from 1992. One of the greatest albums of all time.

People need to stop trying so hard to reach the skill ceiling and start putting that effort into hitting the chill ceiling.

I'm super scared of heights IRL and that translates into games too (usually FPS). The first time I remember it happening was in Half-Life where you're in a narrow pipe and it opens out onto a cliff face and you have to navigate a bunch of ledges while being shot at. 100% gave me actual vertigo.

What was the first video game that scared you?

It doesn't have to be a horror game. Maybe you didn't even play it -- plenty of ads freaked me out as a kid.

Just got my copy of this Ridge Racer Type 4 fanzine by @ultrabrilliant.xyz!
Lovely piece of work and a great tribute to a classic, one of the most stylish games ever made ❤️

Yes that’s more than 15, am currently on the run from the BlueSky police, they will never catch me 😘

Also am aware that a couple of those bands have/have had problematic members. No I do not agree with them, but it’d be dishonest to say their music wasn’t important to me. Yes this bothers me.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.
Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

Also strange: Growing up in a world where the Internet didn't exist at all, watching it expand from a seed into an incredible resource, then watching it collapse into utter shit in less time than it took to arrive.

Truly a strange feeling to have grown up with the internet being your refuge and cherished resource only to have it become utter shit and realize that maybe you don't need it and in fact can't use it the way you used to anymore

Inside the Machine actually came out a bit before my 16th birthday but whatever. DnB represent!

After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes,you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action,seen by two people only

There's no public apology. They don't send this to media or post it on police accounts

We will continue to fight.

We will continue to win.
One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury. Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment. This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all? This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation. After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win. Email from Avon and Somerset Police to Kneecap legal team: "I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be no further action. I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, and/or advise me of an alternative way if contacting them. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Regards, Detective Superintendent [Name redacted]"

Still deep in the ghettotech mines and just hit gold with this absolute weapon of an EP from JUICY SELEKTA. We're definitely at the hardcore end of the GT spectrum here, 3 shameless rave bangers with some chunky synths and absolutely choice MC selections. Is that Strategy I hear on track 2?

After a few weeks of not really finding anything good (mostly due to not even looking) I came across this ghettotech EP from DJ Baghdaddy today. Apparently this is their first stab at the genre and I think they hit the nail on the head! Groovy stuff.
