I bet there's an amazing ambient The Electric State movie to be made out of all that film's establishing shots, b-roll and cutting room floor footage. Give it all to Aphex Twin or BoC or someone, see what they can do with it.

Let's make upcycled movies a thing.

Didn't know that. I've not seen Back Issues, will definitely give that a watch. I saw TMS in a little room above a pub in Leeds in about 2007(ish) then started getting into clouddead etc al via anticon.

Apparently "the left" can't handle losing an election.

Reminder of what the right look like when they lose an election:

We've got Bluesky to replace X/Twitter/Threads.

Do we have anything to replace Facebook?

I put my albums into alphabetical order.

What pointless tasks have you been doing to numb your brain to the collapse of western civilization?

Elon Musk is the consequence of an utterly f*cked system that necessarily funnels wealth into the hands of an ever decreasing number of rich c**ts. He happens to be the last rich c**t in line.

He's not a genius, he's the richest person for the same reason the poorest people are the poorest people.

We never found where this field was.

If you combine it with "... has shit the bed again" it filters down to posts that are only about the leader of the free world.

AI Artist: "I'm so far ahead of the curve with my AI art!"

Literally anyone with zero experience creating AI art: "Oh sh*t how will I ever catch up to you? Ok, caught up"

I reckon we're 100 years away from it being anything more than that, personally.

Christmas Facts:

Turkey Dinner was invented by the English land owner and inventor, Sir Henry Turkey-Dinner in 1892 as a way to appease his disgruntled lower rooms staff who were threatening to unionise.
