My friends Tycho Brahe have just made their entire back catalogue available for the bargain price of ~60 dollarydoos. Go see what has inspired me to do a website for 29 years and counting. Why not start with the infamous Tainted/Who "Banned By The BBC Mix" tychobrahe1.bandcamp.com/album/tasty-...

Quotable quote from a former colleague: AI should be your floor, not your ceiling. LLMs can bring work up to a good minimum standard, but should not be the best work you can produce.

The major parties are losing the primary vote. At the moment they can still win many back or pull the old redistribution trick to steal electorates, but if the trend continues minority government will become common - no matter what the rusted ons claim. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

NEW: The music distribution platform SoundCloud updated its terms of service to allow it to use artists' uploaded music to train AI. The change quietly went into effect last year. It looks like a lot of SoundCloud users were caught off guard. futurism.com/soundcloud-a...

Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic. “Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”

Wanna see something cool? At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is. The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

If you had the shits with TOP election texts, consider signing this petition: chng.it/ZzJTwFD56S I had one text from another candidate, they had a STOP, I didn't hear from them again. I'd rather not hear from any political party via SMS, but at the very least we should be able to opt out. #auspol

It never stops being extraordinary that the world's richest individual has the mind of a fourteen year old. Which wouldn't be so bad if it was only the cringe, but he's also got the impulsiveness and casual cruelty.

Somewhere in the midst of the javascript frameworks and the nonsense valuations and the shitty AI features and the RTO plans and the godawful union busting, we forgot how much joy there is in making websites. Whatever happens with work from here, we need to get it back.

Maybe it's just because it's niche, but whenever I mention Dash in a presentation someone is delighted to hear about someone else using it. So I put up a lightning talk I did a while ago, which is kind of about Dash but really about learning 2+ programming languages (not 1). noti.st/benbuchanan/...

PSA for anyone who uses a package.json in their work: You don't have to use ^ and ~ for dependencies, which most people can't really remember off the top of their head. You can write wildcards instead, which are much easier to understand: "1.2.x" "1.x" docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/conf...

I reckon we could replace the Strayan citizenship test with "put an acceptable amount of Vegemite on this toast". The actual amount is immaterial, but an official will step in to say it's wrong and the correct response is "it's my toast, fuck off".
