Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Eno diary, 20 August 1995: "Night of long rambling dreams. Escaping from the Nazis, I get U2 together to beg their help. Yes! they agree. Intense relief, but immediately a phone call comes through for Bono - he gestures he’ll be off the phone soon, but they’re after me so I have to get on with it."

great stuff in the personal life section of Shigeru Miyamoto (designer of Mario, Legend of Zelda, etc)
Miyamoto enjoys rearranging furniture in his house, even late at night.[3] He also stated that he has a hobby of guessing the dimensions of objects, then checking to see if he was correct, and reportedly carries a measuring tape with him everywhere

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.
Screengrab of a Muppet of a Swedish fisherman and a Muppet seal with the number 7 on a card around its neck. The Seventh Seal, in other words.

I'm absolutely aghast to see this sinister piece in the Guardian—the author says diagnoses of Long Covid, autism and ADHD are "robbing people of a recovery identity"
The image shows a newspaper or magazine article headline and subheading titled "DIAGNOSIS OVERLOAD" in large, bold black text. The subheading reads: "The number of people with chronic conditions is rocketing. Are we less healthy than we used to be? Or are ordinary life experiences, bodily imperfections and normal differences being unnecessarily pathologised? Neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan investigates" That could have been where Garner's story ended. By September 2020, he had improved but he was no longer recovering further. So he started searching beyond the non-recovery stories, for those with more positive outcomes. That was how he found Recovery Norway, a group of people who once had chronic fatigue syndrome but had beaten it. The group gave him a recovery mentor as well as another perspective and, crucially, a recovery identity. He realised that while pacing had helped him at the start, he had then become obsessed with it. As he described in his blog, he had started to unconsciously monitor signals from his body until he became paralysed with fear. He believed long Covid was a metabolic disease that had damaged his mitochondria, but the Norway group made him think differently. He didn't doubt the virus had triggered the fatigue but felt he had later become caught in a vicious cycle of illness driven by his fear. Viruses cause fatigue in order to make people rest, which promotes recovery. But, in Garner's case, his recovery had gone awry because he inadvertently conditioned his body to stay tired. Garner realised he had to retrain his brain to react differently to the fatigue if he was to get better. "I suddenly believed I would recover completely," he writes. "I stopped my constant monitoring of symptoms. I avoided reading stories about illness and discussing symptoms, research or treatments by dropping off the Facebook groups with other patients. I spent time seeking joy, happiness... and overcame my fear of exercise." By the end of 2020 he had made a full recovery. Perhaps what they actually needed from a diagnosis was permission to do less in a world that values only very particular types of success. For some, medical diagnosis is a means to take the pressure off, so they no longer feel forced to continue chasing after an overly idealistic social and work life. One woman's story stood out. She's an artist who has had some significant successes, but not the success she wanted. She would prefer to be an academic, she told me, but it wasn't her talent. As a teenager, she imagined her adult self quoting poetry off the cuff. The pain of not turning out to be that adult was terrible for her. It stopped her enjoying the success she had. Eventually, a diagnosis of ADHD helped her accept that she could not be equally talented in every way she wanted. The diagnosis gave her some comfort but also caused stagnation in her life. It reinforced her belief in a lesser version of herself. Rather than being defined by a successful art career that others would envy, she became a woman whose life revolved around ADHD and was defined by the things she could not do because she was neurodevelopmentally different. I worry that a child told they are different in this way will underestimate themselves and limit their future. Excessive medical diagnosis risks robbing people of a recovery identity and promoting intolerance by othering; by dividing the world into neurodivergents and neurotypicals. It must be very hard to set out or continue on life's big journey if your aspirations have been narrowed by a diagnosis that is uncertain or offers very little. Let's find a way to be more tolerant of difference and imperfections that still allow aneral
