surprised there was no risk averse person in the domino records press team to point out that there is, of course, a will oldham song called 'you have cum in your hair and your dick is hanging out' - or if there was, they were overruled

found some of the last few a bit meandering (assume because jim white wasn't on them but certainly not going to spend time looking this up) but this one is great I agree. shame about the song about going on the computer (and that's coming from a big going on the computer fan)

and some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. history became legend. legend became myth. and for over seven years, the gatwick drone passed out of all knowledge

I don't have time to convince people that LLMs work (for many everyday notions of 'work'), I am too busy hunting down sam altman to put him in jail forever

oh I missed "no matter what you click" - yes if you click opt out and they email, that's non compliant and they do it because chances of enforcement are basically zero

often confuse this for the redwall feasts bot (despite the profile pictures not being all that similar) and so frequently think "damn brian jacques didn't have to go so hard"

[extremely analytic theology voice] a god who establishes laws and then continuously overrides their consequences to maintain a tidy ratio between two unrelated physical processes in one base system is a less coherent conception of god than one who sets up self-sustaining laws and then stops fussing

walked past a place yesterday evening called anchorage bed and breakfast and have for the past day or so thought it funny and strange, if not entirely inaccurate, that they'd name a bed and breakfast after the practice of anchoritism. it is, of course, on a harbour and I deeply misunderstood.

agree entirely with the spirit of this post obviously but murdering is pretty much the standard route to making someone a martyr

brìghde chaimbeul and richard dawson playing one of the big city festivals in the park down the road from us this summer, with an otherwise naff line up... time to finally play my "the noise of these festivals is unacceptable but would become acceptable if you gave me a free ticket" card
