When your latest experimental body modification project goes wrong, don't come running to me with your tail between your legs.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

A Stroh violin? Invented because early microphones were rubbish at picking up strings; obsolete since the invention of electric mics, but still a fascinating curio (and useful to a busker).

INTERSTELLAR WILD (Anagrams)

We speak of the interstellar wild
like we aren’t part of it. She dwells
in we who still sparkle—a fettered,
skeletal star. We flow in her tepid
earth, like weeds, patterns of will
personified. We talk, shatter well—
written like Death’s pale flowers.

Her lawyers would have you believe she was listening to OutKast. And not enjoying it one bit!

Why is "palindrome" not a palindrome? Why is "monosyllabic" so long? Why does "drink" not quench my thirst, nor "train" take me to work? Why are words not the things they describe?

I met Jared Kushner once - he sat at a table I'd reserved and refused to move. His spiteful arrogance was astounding.

Something I've never understood: Suzanne Vega is called "the mother of the mp3" because the compression codec was tested on the 'Tom's Diner' a cappella.

But why test it on a vocal, and a fairly limited one at that? Why not something with more range? Something with Roland bass and hi-hat cymbals?

Banning spinning in circles until you're dizzy and then spinning the other way to be undizzy because of impending doom is literally Anglophobia

BBC Sounds - Damned Andrew - Available Episodes Listen to the latest episodes of Damned Andrew on BBC Sounds.

I wrote an occult sitcom with my friend Tom and Alan Moore narrated it and loads of talented people starred in it alongside me and I did all the music and lots of the sound design and it’s good and daft and fun.

I grew up into someone with agency. I drive from parking lot to parking lot in the dark. I see my friends. We go to parking lots. We drive past data centers and paramilitaries and fence after fence after fence. Free to watch the world blossom with smoke and bear our gray fruit
