Per a conversation w/ @thefallingdream.bsky.social:

"AI Psychosis": ableist, saneist, makes it seem like an individual problem; washed

"AI Ensorcellment": highlights both the truth of the magico-religious commitments underlying all tech *&* the curse-like nature of systemic "AI" impositions; fire

The Old Wellington Inn in Manchester, being jacked up on stilts to the new street level during redevelopment. It definitely looks like it's about to waddle out of the picture.

Despite easily being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock-Tudor AT-AT programme was sadly cancelled due to budgetary concerns

And similar to my original gist, to better direct people to the appropriate details in a slightly less scattered/chaotic way than in the past:

Speaking of old projects of mine; there's been some interesting discussion recently on one of my old gists that in part is about reverse engineering / figuring out the Serum VST preset file format.

A reminder that working in the open, even just amongst your colleagues, takes time, effort, care, thoughtfulness and dedication. It can feel exhausting, yet failing to invest these intangibles can lead to obfuscation.

And yes, this is a note to self, not a criticism of others!

A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.
