Jamie | Veins Full of Static

A woman in a robe lies on a sofa on her front while holding a phone to her ear. A headline from Vogue reads, "This Is When We Actually Become Adults, According to Science."

Well, I guess this is my problem. I've never once had a phone call while lying like that. I'd find it really uncomfortable. I will always remain a child. Cheers Science.

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

non-brits and young folk: don't sleep on this. Arena was an incredible documentary series on arts and culture. Hard to imagine how it could exist today.
If you know Paris is Burning, that was an Arena doc. So was the Wisconsin Death Trip film. So much gold here.

They say in creative pursuits that if you're in great stress and pain then you're about to have a breakthrough. But of course it could just be that you're banging your head against a wall. That hurts too. The fun part is there's no sure fire way of knowing which is which. The only remedy is time.

Ambient noise makers out here taking strays. I'll have you know I have press *several* buttons to make the noise flow thank you sir

What I do know is that AI is not your fucking game and it's not mine. You see your slop-gobbling VP going one way, you go the other way. You hear me? The LLM-lubbers go one way, you go the other way. Hell, the hard part's done: you already know you don't want to live an AI-inflected life. A whole lot of people out there don't realize that yet, and for some of them the knowledge will only come after a great deal of pain, but you know what you must do. Write a novel, write a poem, scribble them on printer paper when your VP isn't looking if you have to. Get flowers for your desk and frames for your photos, write longhand in a diary every day. Buy a secondhand DVD player and secondhand DVDs. Smell a library, pull faces at a baby, splash cold water on your face. Call your friends on the phone even though it sucks and everyone hates it because texts and DMs suck more, just nobody realizes it yet. Pay for more things with cash and drop the change in a desperate man's paper cup. Cook enough of every meal to share with your neighbors, especially the unhoused ones. Sing Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" at karaoke because it's fun and everybody loves it. Live a life out in the real, palpable world that you can be a little proud of; refuse assaults on its dignity. You can only do what you can do, and life will feel wonderful again once you truly get that—fuck, I'm tearing up, believe me, it will shock you how wonderful life still feels. And the rest, again, is not your game.

‘dear rax, the VP at my day job is an AI true believer and it fills me with despair — is hope lost?’

THE DARK FORCES ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

Vote Labour

I'd like to post something more articulate but the Labour Party can go fuck themselves. Their strategy sticking the boot into asylum seekers harder and harder hoping for a poll uptick is utterly horrifying.

Don't ever tell me I have to vote for these ghouls to keep the bad guys out again.

The new version of John Bulmer’s book The North looks fantastic but will only happen if it hits its target on Kickstarter. This is a book which needs to be published, please support it if you can www.kickstarter.com/projects/fru...

i think peter thiel should have his fortune stripped on the way to prison and everyone who worked at gawker in 2014-16 should get $100 million

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Queer Crow Death Magic Tarot A 78-card potent jewel-coloured tarot deck created with linoprinting. Artwork is complete & project is ready to print.

anyway the kickstarter is at 167% with 136 backers and just over a day to go and I am just beyond chuffed & grateful www.kickstarter.com/projects/fra... #tarot #tarotsky

if you felt like sharing that'd be amazing but I'm amazed by all the support so thank you all so much, diolch o galon x

Can I get one of these with the controller? Sadly I reckon I'd do way better at 'Cleaning My House: The Game' than just cleaning my house.

I wasn’t able to provide a track for this one, but am proud to have been part of it by providing the cover art.
Please share and support. It’s for a great cause.

1 Nurse: It’s become a real problem in this area 2 Nurse: We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction 3 Show a building sign posted: Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it Nurse: Ministers, Spads, Researchers… 4 Nurse: Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely [Nurse on phone taking a call] Ok - we’ll be right over 5 Nurse: We just have a gentle chat [Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster Minister: I understand your concerns… 6 Nurse: Are you OK love? Minister: Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters 7 Nurse: That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian [Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters] Nurse 2: Give us your phone, love 8 Nurse: At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to [We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.] 9 Minister: YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR [woman looks baffled] 10 woman: I just want a bus service Minister: LOOK AT MY FLAG [produces a St George's flag] [ends]

Codes are going fast!

It really is a beautiful thing. I'd love to get a reel to reel but as soon as it developed a problem it'd end up getting put in a cupboard. My record on fixing gear is not great!

I love it. I primarily use it as a looper with the tape on tape mode - big fan of recording something and listening to it slowly degrade into sonic mulch

That's some top catting. Being involved and helping are exactly the same thing.

Yeah tbf to him I had been meaning to tear some random bits of sponge from that spot for a while now

Cat on a synth. Also some wires and guitar pedals.

I thought I'd do a test stream of some ambient noodlings last night. On the DL since it's the first one and could be messy.

And it was indeed very messy. In part because this guy decided to make himself one with the Model:Samples for the duration. Made things a bit more tricky than necessary.
