Have you seen Adam Curtis’s Hypernormalisation, Dan? it really is excellent and even though it’s a few years old now it’s more relevant than ever. But yeah, definitely not one to make you feel cheery about stuff…

Of the stuff I own, probably my Digitakt. Of the stuff I lust after, a Teenage Engineering OP-XY

Thanks for all of your great reporting from Russia, Steve.

Mine too, incredible film. IMO it just beats Poor Things, which I loved and was pretty sure would have been my film of the year.

self-released a bunch of my own tracks, like Don’t Kno (open.spotify.com/track/59Pcjc...) and Ocho (open.spotify.com/track/7lWnyA...). Much more to come next year too!

Here's a helpful explainer from @simonmackie.uk (thanks, Simon!) if you're doing the bluesky custom url name thing this for a Wordpress.com site. Key detail: on Wordpress.com, there's no slot explicitly labeled "domain" -- instead, "_atproto" goes in the "Name" slot.

Smells like a press release Guinness might write 🤔

I really can’t understand why they won’t, madness.

My one bit of advice would be to use Epubcheck (either the official version from github.com/w3c/epubcheck or the validator in Sigil) to make sure that the epub is valid, otherwise even if it seems to work it’ll get rejected by stores. I do this as I go to make sure I’m not introducing errors.

Ah yes, I can see that. we generally had a book template that I would try to wrangle existing HTML into (taking into account the limitations of epub vs standard HTML/CSS), and from that POV Sigil is pretty good (tho with a pretty clunky interface).

Oh I was going to suggest Sigil, but I generally just use it as a text editor and don’t really use its preview features. I think epubs generally are a huge pain to deal with, so wish you good luck!

Oh indeed!

Seeing it tomorrow- really looking forward to it!

As an aside, Bluesky not penalizing links makes me feel much more like documenting stuff like this again.

I think Philp might actually be an android (with a not very bright AI).

👋 The engagement here is way higher, and links aren’t penalized by the algo. Not sure there is much point in posting on X any more- I didn’t have a huge following (1.2k) but no-one saw anything I posted!

It really is! There are similar nights elsewhere in the UK (CDR and Noedits), so I guess there might be something in SF 🙂
