What We Lose When Streaming Companies Choose What We Watch Maybe don’t throw away all your DVDs just yet.

Richard Brody reflects on why DVD owners shouldn’t throw away their collections just yet. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/-FJfq5

what an absolutely fucking farcical period of history we are living through

Future generations will be fascinated to ask us what it was like to actually live through this national clown show

Good grief, and Japan were down to 13 men for about quarter of an hour 🤦🏻‍♂️

Absolutely gutted with the United goal right at the end, but at 80mins I would have taken that result. Supporting Spurs is a bloody roller coaster of emotions 🙂

It’s ‘unusual’ to say the least 🤔

I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself? ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.

Utterly terrifying.

The companies’ responses that these are older versions of AI is equally appalling - so you’re admitting you’re experimenting in dangerous ways with our children, young people & vulnerable adults whilst you refine your product?

Good News! Austrian Ministry Kicks Out Microsoft in Favor of Nextcloud The BMWET migrates 1,200 employees to sovereign cloud in just four months.

Good!

This is a growing trend in the EU.

Europeans are waking up to the fact that US big tech is the biggest threat to their economy and national security.

Well done Trump 👍

"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" was released #OnThisDay in '73 as the lead single for the album of the same name ✟

Tottenham Hotspur end a run of six games without a win away at Everton with a comfortable win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Two goals from Micky van de Ven and a late Pape Matar Sarr header move Thomas Frank's side into third.

Spurs have now won a league-high 13 points on the road this season.

Two clean sheets in a row (7/14 total)
Top scorers in the league
Only one team has conceded less
Only one team has better GD
Unbeaten throughout September
Only lost 2 of 14 games under Frank (7-5-2)
First team to win at Everton’s new stadium
3rd in the league

Remind why there’s a problem?!

Photo of the front cover of the novel resting on a wooden table. The title Sympathy Tower Tokyo and the author’s name ‘Rie Qudan’ is printed in black. The illustration is in a contemporary Japanese style. Trees and building site crane can be seen. A white statue of a woman surrounded by metal reinforcement bars.

Just finished this beautifully written novel. Short and sweet 🙂 My fifth Japanese novel of the year.

Glasses with built in cameras 😬 Sorry, no.

Absolutely loving the podcast! My Carry On box set arrives tomorrow and I’m going to take great pleasure in watching each one and then listening to your fantastic analysis. Carry On Sergeant tomorrow 👍🏻 Btw, Carry On Screaming has to be the best and also terrified me as a kid 😬

Exactly like Saturday. Very frustrating.

Well, Spurs somehow managed to get a draw out of that game. Much like Saturday night, that was a very difficult watch 🫣 Great that we can come back so late in games but we do look so poor at the moment for the majority of the game.

YESSS!!

Jeez, this has been such a poor 2nd half performance from Spurs 🤦🏻‍♂️
#COYS

A hugely poor period of play from Spurs 😫 Crowd getting really frustrated.

#COYS

HT 0-0. After a slow start Spurs improved. Kudus electric, one header saved onto bar, one goal disallowed, forced another good save from distance. Bergvall and Udogie also playing well. But no goal yet. And Doherty hit the bar with the last kick of the half.

0 v 0 at half time, but Spurs have had their chances. Imo most good things coming through Bergvall. Hoping those chances are put away in the 2nd half 🤞🏻
