Let me guess. Was this “before money” from betting on stock market derivatives when the streaming market was immature and growing rapidly? Is the subscription revenue completely symbolic? Could anyone have predicted that the market would stabilize as it matured? Surely that was obvious?

Today I watched a luggage trolly from a hotel hurtle across the street in the wind, side impact a parked Tesla model 3, turn slowly 90deg, and then scrape along the side of that same car until it passed the wing mirror.

If there’s non other reason to read this cyberpunk graphic novel #Enhanced - it’s these earrings and haircut. 💜

This evening I had a seagull steal a pizza I’d just baked with the outdoor oven.

These “AI tech bros” are gangsters.

I wrote of review of vol. 1 of Enhanced (a cyberpunk graphic novel made in Italy). medium.com/@cubusaddend...

Time for a Lemsip I guess

I *tried* to play the Oblivion remake. I tried a bunch of things to get it to not crash. Latest Nvidia studio driver. I even limited the core affinity at one point. I never left the dungeon. Uninstalled.

I thought this might be a lost cause, but look! It finally came today! Flight of the Conchords re-issue on gold vinyl!

Btw I also have blood coming out of my nose. Still preferable to reading a Dan Brown novel.

Had some ear surgery yesterday. Woke up this morning with a thin stream of blood down my neck. It could be worse. The last time I bleed from the ears it was because I was reading a Dan Brown novel.

happy world goth day to those who celebrate 🖤

This is the turning point. You can say what you like about internet based journalism, but this article went *TO PRINT* and distributed in huge numbers. No one checked. No one cared.

I built a shelf above the fridge and freezer today.

Things from the 90s I absolutely don’t miss. These t-shirts that reacted to body temperature, so you could broadcast at long distance that you were hot and sweaty. Gross.

Goth thread. 🖤 Skeet yourself in your goth fit or a goth you appreciate.

@postoctobrist.bsky.social hey - your analysis of Conclave on KJB podcast was a fantastic companion piece to the film. Did you also notice that Tedesco means “German”? I assume it is a nod to that German priest fraternity that are similarly conservative.

Oh JFC SoundCloud you really have lost your way. Where do I move my music to?

Beware of anyone powerful claiming they are “a disrupter”.

Adding this as evidence to my theory that being an idiot bully is almost a requirement to make it big in Silicon Valley these days. Surely Alphabet/Google has a legal team that would have advised against such a decision? They weren’t forced to change the name.

Accurate. The order also strictly applies to documents and maps produced by the US government. In reality, Google renamed the gulf, not Trump. The EO has fuck all to do with it.

An interesting listen.
