Apologies to anyone who's DMed me lately, I cant access them because of some PIN nonsense I never set up. To contact I'm on insta at the same username which I'm the most likely to see, or if you're not on there I've put my email in my link tree (in bio)

The breakneck race to destroy *any* connection to a shared or objective reality is one of the most repulsive things going on right now in tech
You WILL be alienated from every other human on earth. You WILL be embalmed in your own delusions, and you’ll pay us $20/month for it
Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

When sex workers said the porn restrictions would spread to other sites, you didn't listen.
When it spread to social media, you still didn't listen, you said it would stop there.
It's still spreading further and further

humans forced to work grueling 9-to-5s to afford to live while the puppets get to paint and sing and write day and night. Why do this if not for contempt for the arts and for humanity. I just can't explain how much I hate you. I hate you so much
i went to bed and asked claude to paint an autumn tree overnight.
at around 4am, it realised that it didn't have some shades -- so it stopped and titrated its own paint: diluting red, sienna and madder step by step on a second palette, then measuring each pocket from a photo.
woke up to this beautiful watercolor painting. 303 brush marks, took about 4.5 hours 🍂 (still working on the speed)
Sad to hear this. Marquee Moon was a big album for me as a teenager. Was pleased I was able to see them at the final All Tomorrow's Party's festival in 2013. RIP

we should have british gaming museums. we should have british gaming funds for working class developers. we should have british gaming theme parks. we should have british gaming schools. when you go into heathrow, the first thing you should see is a collage of british games etc

The British government should look at Rockstar Games like they do The Beatles and do more to talk up the fact it's a British studio responsible for the best games ever. Always weird to me that we don't celebrate our gaming roots more as a country, as they're pretty special

THATS WHY THEY TARGET PORN
They WANT you to be too embarrassed to advocate against their tyranny. They are weaponising cringe culture, and our anxiety-riddled social media ecosystem has made people so susceptible to it
You could go to jail for filming yourself deep throating!!

Sci-Hub was conceived as a communist project, btw. Elbakyan started it to allow those who were unable to get past academic paywalls to access scientific papers. The website even used to display the hammer and sickle. If you’re interested, you can also have a look at the lecture++
🥳🎂 She was born on November 6, 1988. In 2016, Nature magazine named her one of the ten most influential people in science.

I knew he was full of shit back in the early 2000s when he blogged as Mencius Moldbug. Like Bannon, basically just recycling old early 20th century integral nationalism tropes under different jargon with a few twists. It was a surprise to see anyone take him seriously recently

They did it! They've put MECW where it belongs: in the public domain & free for download. Even those few who have bought the set, as they have been published, will find the PDFs (easily converted to MSWord) great for lifting quotes for all kinds of writing, posts, etc.
Marx & Engels Collected Works finally back on Marxist Internet Archive! marxists.org/archive/marx/wo…

The reason for this is simply the boomer-centric view of british culutre.
british video-games, techno, warhammer etc are all still 'juvenile' coded to the pensioner class despite being massive money-makers and cultural juggernauts.
Doesn't matter how popular and advantageous nationalisation would be, Labour will drop the ball every time
