Oh they are absolute classics of 90's alternative hard rock. Brilliant group.
I have fond memories of auditioning for a band at some guy's house, belting out the line "Masturbation saved my life!" while his elderly parents were in the next room...

Sure, you CAN order water in that pub, and technically it's "safe", but why take chances?
Atahnasian Creed is my favourite computer game series.
Space Force are sending (D)LOU Cognitive Dissonance, so you know it's serious.
Debtford.
awoke from uneasy sleep to find myself transformed into a feature not a bug
Morning Bluesky.
Oh?
Oh dear.
Well that's a terrible faux pas.
My bad.
As it is Smother's day in the UK, I just killed someone with a pillow...
He had to go to hospital the next day.
Yes, I feel awful.
Yes, I had to look at his ass*.
Yes, I was absolutely wrong, and I am now better informed. Training did not cover this.
*That's not why I feel awful, FAOD.
Funny story…
One of my staff got bit on the ass by an Italian greyhound recently. It was tiny, just a little graze, barely broke the skin, just a scuff.
He was freaking out. I'm like dude, we don't have rabies, here's an antiseptic wipe.
I did not know about the tetanus risk from dog bites.
SKOOB (nah for real...) in the Brunswick Center, Bloomsbury (daaaahling)! Underground second hand labyrinthine wonderland. I got a first edition of Mervyn Peake's poetry there.
Also, it's _just_ around the corner from Gay's The Word.
I can lend you an extra suitcase...
Orca-ward!
Christ, three exclamation marks?
I most look like an absolute psychopath!!!
Funny you should mention that!
You can see us do it live, on stage!
It might be a little more controlled, we shall have to see!
Then it hasn't happened - it's just begun.
Do all the other tools git gud?
Or are we still going to be swamped with expensive slop machines?
Ooh missed this one. It literally can both be true at the same time, for as long as people are convinced to believe.
We don't know yet precisely how it ends up laid out. Even if _these_ tools start working cheaply and safely, everyone else is still going to be using the shit ones for... How long?
Imma go kill adults with booze.
I'd rather sip my coffee and watch the river before another 11 hour shift in a dying industry.
Yeah, that's right. Coffee. Me.
Shit be serious.
It doesn't even have booze in it!
Oh I get that this is the promise, and the optimistic vision is that this, today, is the start of it. Will that prove to be true when the bubble bursts?
But then again, what is? Something more linear has severe limitations too.
God, this is not a great format for proper substantive discussion.
To a certain extent, the hydra-like nature of threading is useful, but it also becomes very unwieldy.
"Do your own research, bro!" 😜
I'm struggling to keep my head above water and do things I actually _want_ to do, AND keep abreast of all this, and not end up in hospital cos my body or brain collapses. I'd love to have that luxury. (Hence asking where the articles are.)
Please! If we can find the time...
No, not really. There are literally millions upon millions of child labourers still.
For now. And long may it continue.
So people only ever talk about this in bars and no one writes it down?
That can't be right. 😜
I am interested but I'll still have hard questions, and the edge stuff doesn't eliminate the questions that still need answering about the mainstream.
Sorry, two pieces. I stand corrected.
