Night Scene (Little Lynchian) #digital #canon #70d #platformagnostic #photography #photograph #digitalphotography

This year, with a fascist co-op and rising AI poppyslop as a core part of the national Lestival. With the BBC blurring out pro-trans badges but sending memos about wearing poppies... Sometimes, repeatedly remembering things is just PTSD. www.modernistpunk.com/p/episode-17...

Christ, Clive Myrie's Mastermind monologues are awful, made doubly worse by the fact you can see he's reading the autocue.

Has anyone checked in on Kier Starmer recently?

Many live artists are now pivoting to stand up as a way of standing on a stage and talking about themselves. I'd let it pass if they were being funny, but dear god that's some mild comedy. If their jokes were a spice, they would be flour.

It's not "problematic" it's "fraughtological".

This is because fines are of no consequences to the rich. Just the cost of business. Break the law, say sorry, pay some money and continue. What we need is reparations that include prohibition of further business.

Joe Tidy has the same password for everything and it is "password".

More seriously. In the 90s, a larger proportion of internet users were familiar with the workings of the internet itself. Many learnt how to code html, even at a base level. The fact a cyber security journalist doesn't know what php is is indicative of how we treat technology as a product.

PHP isn't some weird obscure bit of the internet. The fact this is from a "cyber correspondent" is rather worrying.

The fact there is an overlap between people who complain about paying the license fee and those complaining about the cuts to the BBC is a significant problem.

The fact that the clock on Lancaster's Town Hall is persistently five minutes slow tells you everything you need to know about this place and our attitude to governance. Just a little behind the rest of the world.

Is there any phrase more detestable and corporate than "arts leaders". A phrase that suggests a class division by implication of "followers".

Seems like every middle class artist at the moment is trying to launch a magazine. And yeah, I kind of like that. The vanguard against digital slop is wealthy kids with an inflated sense of their own importance and a safety net for inevitable failure. I've become an enemy of my enemy person.

Me: Let me know you got home safe, just give me three rings. Sauron: Three?!

New heights in facile copy writing from the guardian. Someone got paid to put these words in this order. Meanwhile a begging screen pops up asking if I'll pay. No button for "no" just a "maybe later" like a skeevy sex pest. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ross Kemp is coming across as the sort of bloke who makes sure you get put in a taxi at the end of the night and gets you to give him three rings once you make it home. Three Rings Kemp.

Starting to see the term "neurobasic" thrown around as a mild slur, and if that isn't the horseshoe theory in action...

The more humanity I encounter, the harder it is to have any faith in it. That's the problem with the modern age.

And you want the real horror story of all this? Wait until we are choosing between you having drinking water and a machine having it. It will have the same rights as you. Good luck, thirsty folk.

No bad deed goes unpublished.

Yeah, nice watch mate but my Rolex has a fecking house attached to it.

Meanwhile, America is not OK.

Posted this elsewhere and got accused of it being "in really bad taste". You know what else is in really bad taste? A state live streaming an execution.

Pretty sure this will be the 7up red dot advert of the century. Go America!

Live streaming executions seems like a normal thing in a normal country.

Reader, they fucked it up.

Real talk. As a modernist (or maybe neo-modernist) artist of some renown, I know that no matter how close to the sun I fly, I will never feel the heat as much as the Tesco Value range of the 2000s

If it is *artificial* it can't have the same rights as humans. If it is *super* then it can be protected as a human like intelligence and given copyright protection and other such money making rights. This is the play.

My sad, useless nonce son.

About to give a lecture about integrated visual theatre design in Vermont whilst riddle with "American COVID". I feel like Frodo when he puts the ring on.

I love that Trump's relationship to Musk highly correlates to how close the US is to a national vote. Wonder why.

The longer I hang around the more convinced that everyone is just waiting for their turn to be the villain.

Can someone smarter and better informed than I tell me what just happened to the Green Party? Have they just kicked themselves back into obscurity again?
