Toshiro Mifune driving his MG TD on the set of Yojimbo with his sword on the dash

It took a while to get it to run on Mac properly (largely as I had installed Python via homebrew) but this thing is now running smoothly and pulling all my content. Only caveat is I have to keep moving the files so my disk doesn't fill. Get onto it: it still works. defragg.com/bulk-downloa...

Me attempting to describe the difference in assorted drone albums to my wife (uninterested, positive).

Just ate ciabattini toast so dense I now have a black hole instead of a stomach. Also, I’m glad I have tea because I am not going to be able to move for a WHILE.

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

One of my great Growing Up Moments (which occurred more recently than I'd care to admit) was acknowledging that me trying to reform someone's misguided love for a band I'm not into is A Bad Thing, Actually.

Early birthday update: got a package with no attribution. Thank you, mysterious stranger.

LūDō is an album release in the Bluesky format. 20 new 1-minute recordings of places I had recorded previously back in 2012. Bluesky limits video to a single 60 second clip per post, 25 clips/10GB per day. The format seemed a good fit. I created and published it using only my phone. 0/22

Today: drive to Sydney, trade SOME guitars for ONE guitar, see Pink Floyd cover band (tickets were bought for me and it'd be impolitic to refuse) and then drive BACK from Sydney. Thank fuck for past me taking some days off leading up to the birthday.

Apparently based on having read this book, I should read this book.

Imagine going online and saying “despite its obvious flaws I’m proud to use generative ai for research and writing, please read this book I couldn’t be bothered to write.”

Well might we say: fuck yeah. www.nts.live/intro/shows/...

Arthur Russell attempting to describe his composition’City Park’ to his teacher:

I went to the gym and all the parking spots were full so I went and got oxtail at the Jamaican place instead Great work everybody

Good chat about translation and Dazai. countercraft.substack.com/p/processing...

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Yeah, fuck these tools. www.404media.co/trump-admin-...
