Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

It is indeed perfect.

The fateful story of the first-ever Bauhaus demo A fledgling post-punk band releases a ten-minute-long, one-take debut single about the funeral of a horror star, and lo and behold, a new genre is born.

"‘Bela Lugosi Is Dead’ was the most hilarious song you’d ever imagine! An 11-minute soliloquy about Bela Lugosi! We did it seriously, and that was hilarious, too. I’d affect a vampire on stage and frighten people. It was incredibly funny.”

They should include it. Have a Air v Drone section. Where they swap disciplines?
Or possibly the athletes can send out flares and chaff?

An excuse to remind you of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=keGo...

Shock of the new it is not.

Total agree.

Yes, so come up with something original and it will be copied and possibly monetised before you can say Ai sloppy seconds.. Oh..and you pay a nice subscription for the pleasure.

I'm surprised the military haven't looked into this. A little testing and improved projection technique and such a voice could have whole battalions bashing their own brains out.

Stewart Lee just cited Cathar theology & Wittgenstein’s duck/rabbit paradox. to illustrate the difficulty of framing true political statements.

I like a comedian who doesn’t dumb down!

Would seem like it.

Thanks. Gonna make that switch :-)

I stopped paying Eck a while ago and gather Qobuz is a better option than paying to get ICE ads while investing in Ai arms. (Better payout for the musician too) I haven't done the whole move yet but apparently Soundiz is a good transfer tool to use to get the playlists from Spotify to Qobuz.

When this is all over, every single person who voted for and enabled him should be forced to pay reparations and make a daily apology to the rest of the world.

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

Do any of these super rich arses have one idea of their own? They only seem capable of plundering sci fi books that are decades old.

Musk is laughing at us. There is *nothing* that’s decent or free or safe about being on X.

The only responsible ‘counter narrative’ to stem the profound damage X is doing to society and democracy is to leave it, or - better still - to shut it down.

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”

For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.

Because I care about people.

You dipshit.

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

A Spaniel in John Lewis.

That thing on the right tho? Decaying hands grasping at a decaying world. Gaudy, grim and totally fitting for the orange one.

It is so sad to see this bizarre arse kissing. Also did you see the actual trophy thing? Like decaying hands grasping at a decaying world. Truly awful.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

All proceeds going to great causes. …or possibly me.

A decreasing fine or levy for any mention of Christmas before Dec 1. The earlier the heavier. So massive fine/levy say in Oct decreasing to a lighter but still significant one in Nov and getting less as we go.

Tech companies have zero imagination themselves and look to the arts (which they are happy to destroy) especially science fiction for things to emulate. It’s both tedious and astonishingly scary at the same time. Humanoid robot (easily armed). Colonise Mars (yawn). VR. + say hi to 99% unemployment.

I’m sure mine will go soon as it seems to be the MO to obliterate all the arts. If we join in (which is hard not to unless you just give up) we are being made to pay a subscription to people who can’t do any art and never learned to finish us off. It’s quite brilliant in it’s evil.
