Nope! Cancelled.

Have we passed peak social media? As platforms degrade into outrage and slop, users are turning away

Interesting article, hope so. on.ft.com/4nASj1K

Definitely not too early!

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

But… you could though…

A person in gloves and winter clothing standing in a snowy scene. They are hard to see as they are holding a sign made out of cardboard up to the camera. The sign has three multi choice options hand written on it in thick black pen. They are, heroine, cocaine or poutine. The check box next to poutine is ticked and heroin and cocaines are scored out.

Bohemian Rhapsody Flashmob consisting of 30 musicians and singers on a street in Paris.

I reckon Freddie Mercury would have loved this.

[Sorry ... had to choose the lowest quality and cut into two for BlueSky. Hopefully the audio survived.]

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?"

A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons.

Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

Fuck social media read books

game does bad: layoffs
game does about as expected: layoffs
game does great: layoffs

I have discovered that I have a perfectly acceptable monthly expense that is just, ‘good tacos’. My chequeing account is going to have to live with this.

Perfect fix for a Monday, a bunch of awesome stickers delivered from @completelycathy.bsky.social

Now, I wore Shures for years, way back before they moved their manufacturing around. This pair have sat in my jacket pocket for at least 13 years? They have some definite aging signs on at the cable, but so do I. I plugged them in and they still sound great!

Lesson = quality is always the GOAT.

I tried on my old biking jackets (both Italian, both from the same store in the Merchant City in Glasgow,) and I think I will still wear one of them! (the other is a now a fashion faux pas..)

I stuck my hands in the pocket though, and pulled out a pair of Shure 215 in-ear monitors.

In these boxes I found my last two leather motorbike jackets. (Which is why I was unpacking them, I just bought a new jacket, and it led me to the ... where are my biker jackets? thoughts). Weirdly we are about to go all audio, and even less interesting!

Very much me enjoying Hades II

Three bunnies are on the street heading to a local bar. They are leaving a stereotypical Irish Pub, and going to a more ‘underground’ place next door. One bunny, who has had too much to drink, is leaning on his teetotaler friend, who has a bottle of water and is acting as an informal “chaperone” for the group

Daily bunny no.3034 is going bar-hopping

This might take more than a cuppa and some toast to fix.

A bunny is seeing an old-fashioned 'fortune-teller' bunny, in a tent in front of a crystal ball. There are bejeweled knick-knacks in the tent. To the customer's shock, the fortune teller throws out their hands , as if bearing some ominous news.

Daily bunny no.3029's future is all used up

I just watched the whole show. I’m going to go sit quietly for a minute or two.

Every day is leg day! High protein diet! You can have a summer body in just four weeks (or earlier if you catch one sooner!)

Don’t be jealous of those zombies 10km times! They did the work, never skipped leg day, were out there running in the rain!

we have commodified everything. games, movies, everything. its all formulas and tests and feedback.

with its history and art design, marathon should have been a singleplayer shooter, or at least shipped with a singleplayer campaign.

but those numbers wouldn't stack up the way executives want.

'We live in precarious times.'

Been looking forward to this for a while.
