Several iconic 1960s bands still have all their original members alive and in some cases, even active. Examples include The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, and ZZ Top. While some bands like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin have disbanded, their original members are also still alive.

Well done, Google AI.
Not one part of this is correct.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Building wrap of Jabaliya camp in Gaza opposite Labour Party HQ reads "Protesting this isn't terrorism"

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London.

We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

Sorry to hear you been having a bad time. I hope things pick up for you.

The two are often linked so it’s definitely worth looking into. I still find some things difficult but having both my diagnoses has helped, even if just to understand myself better.

I was diagnosed eight years ago at the age of 44 and have found it affecting me more as I get older.

I’ve just got my ADHD diagnosis, so I’m hoping medication might help me with some of the overlapping issues.

Can anyone recommend a decent, reliable external SSD for use with a Mac Studio? Needs to be 4TB.

I've just bought two Crucial X9 Pros and I've had all sorts of problems right from the start. Searching the web, it looks like a lot of people have.

Does anyone use SuperDuper! for back ups on Apple Silicon? I've just started using it again and when I run a back up it deletes the APFS volume from my back up drive and the back up fails. Has anyone else had the same problem and if so did you find a solution?

I was extremely honoured to have created the backdrop artwork for the magnificent @nadineshah Glastonbury performance earlier today. Of course you won’t have seen it on the BBC as they didn’t show any of it.

Look, it's one study. But research like this seems like it should have some weight in the "AI is useful, actually" discussion.

Parasite becomes aggressive.

Sure all the musicians looking at our Β£0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased.

Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

All this bullshit around the world right now is happening because literally just a HANDFUL of motherfuckers are trying to avoid justice & reckoning for their previous crimes.

We COULD have a decent world.
We COULD make things better.
We are able to do that.
And these selfish fucks won’t let us.

Help needed, please. I've just updated @processing.org and now sketches won't run when launched from Sublime. I'm on a M1 Mac and I've run 'Install processing-java'. I tried googling an answer but Sublime error messages are always cryptic. Everything worked until I updated Processing.

Super gonna find some chalk and do one of these. I don’t have a camera - but if I think for a second even a few people might do it (I trust they will) it’ll be worth eet

Glitched Flower.

Most of my Processing stuff uses vectors so I can output for print, but tonight's experiment is messing with pixels. I thought I'd try and code an animating glitch effect. Happy with the first effort. Hopefully, I can refine it for a project I want to use it on.
