Good morning! Today's earworm – every morning I wake up with a song playing in my head: Today's track is by VNV Nation. #industrialmusic #EBM

"Heart is racing, synaptic flow
The moments pass, and the glass explodes
Who protects us, if it hurts too much?
Can we turn away, when we fear to touch?"

The Final Collapse Report, by NTRSN 9 track album

#EBM heads! NTRSN has just released a compilation of non-album tracks. #industrialmusic

Lady Demerzel has been one of my favourite characters in #Foundation. *So* damn attractive and such a tragic figure. #scifi

Ever wondered why some people type in all caps or end a sentence with several exclamation marks or question marks? ⟵ now, imagine this paragraph in a l l c a p s , ending with ! ! ! ! 👀

Thankfully, you won't find them here.

I miss the gratuitous nudity of 80s and 90s horror flicks. I also miss the dark humour. The world has become too sanitised. Where's the fun? #horrormovies

Just finished bingeing seasons 2 and 3 of Foundation, and now I've got the DTs. It's rare to come across such a quality production. It's sci-fi for adults. #scifi

‘Stargate’ TV Series From Martin Gero Based On Sci-Fi Franchise Ordered By Amazon Amazon MGM Studios has given a series order to Stargate, based on the iconic sci-fi franchise, from Stargate veteran Martin Gero.

Oh yesss. Please, please let it have an Atlantis feel and not go down the gritty road. PS: I've always called the Stargate franchise Canada's Star Trek. #scifi

Today marks the 40th anniversary of a *legendary* album, The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy. I still own the CD and one of the remastered CDs. "Lost" the vinyl a long time ago. #whitenoise #punk #shoegaze

I would've enjoyed that.

the best #retro #scifi cinema podcast. why? because Ayesha Khan invites professors & PhDs to talk about the cultural & historical context of the subject. the conversation's always fun & informative. #iydknyk #filmsky 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=e97K...

Almost laughed out loud #scifiseries

YouTube video by Josh Horowitz Clips Sigourney Weaver says she may return as Ripley in a new ALIEN movie!

Alien franchise fans, I don't know how I missed this: Ripley may return. She won't be running around in air shafts, but according to Sigourney, so far the script is so good that she's considering it. #scifimovies #horrormovies

Also, from someone else's pics, I can see that the crocodile doesn't have a right leg or arm either.

I can't help but think this has to do with the fact that #Apple missed the boat on AI in the most embarrassing way possible. To be fair though, it was under Cook's watch that Apple Silicon was introduced – the best thing to have happened to the Mac since Mac OS X in the early 2000s.

An emotional sculpture called "Valkyrie (Homage)" by Ella Cronje, at Rust-en-Vrede Gallery and Clay Museum in Cape Town, South Africa. I missed an important detail when I took these pics: The person holding the crocodile only had one arm. #fineart

OK, thanks. That should be very interesting.

OK, I might watch it tomorrow then. It's not based on a true story, is it?

On my watchlist but I'm weary after Beau Is Afraid. I'll bump it further up the list now, thanks.

I liked the dreaminess of it, the liminal space, and the innocence.

Good choice. If I didn't use NordVPN, I would def. go with Proton. It's unbelievable how many people use VPNs that don't need them at all because they fell for "The average person needs a VPN for security purposes" marketing. VPNs are big business.

I often see friends using VPNs that don't offer:
1.⁠ ⁠⁠Independent audits
2.⁠ ⁠Servers outside 6/9/14-eye countries
3.⁠ ⁠No-log policy and RAM-only servers
4.⁠ ⁠Automatic kill switches
5.⁠ ⁠Most secure protocols
6.⁠ ⁠DNS and IP Leak protection

I've been waiting for this. How Apple could enforce it is another issue, but one of the reasons I rarely use LLMs is privacy.
