Same location 2009 vs now

As ugly as it was, it added a vocabulary to the walls. Some local DJ or club night. The name would be in the minds of everyone in the city, whether they were interested or not, just because they were seeing it. A monoculture. Now those type of names are online and dictated by an algorithm.

If you go through your city on Google maps, and then scroll through the years. The one major thing you’ll notice is that there’s no posters or flyers for gigs pasted on walls and lampposts anymore

That’s actually their natural habitat. Those are rock doves. What wolves are to dogs. Pigeons are a domestic human creation, but we no longer have a use for them. So they are feral in our cities and living in the nooks of buildings while dreaming about little holes on the sides of cliffs

Opened my Instagram stories and there’s Willow Smith over in Los Angeles lip synching a middle aged Limerick mans experience of maintaining friendships while being autistic

I think AI slop is going to ruin the internet as we know it. So many search results are now AI. Articles, videos, images, fake AI. You just feel like giving up when it happens.

Really enjoying learning about Gnosticism, it boils down to “all material reality is a mistake, that was made by this dickhead called God, who is an immature prick and should never have created material reality in the first place”

I can move playlists to Qobuz?

There’s a brilliant music streaming platform called Qobuz, sound quality like Tidal, but the music discovery mechanics are sublime. It’s for serious music lovers

The LUAS Red Line was thrown into chaos at rush hour this evening due to an incident at St James's. In order to find out what was going on with the service, the LUAS expected thousands of affected passengers to check their X account. It's ridiculous, enraging, and at this stage totally unacceptable

I guaranteed you, In time it will emerge that Elon was financially backed to dismantle a space that actually led to bad people being held accountable. It was purchased for billions just to be ran into the ground. It was worth spending that much money to destroy the accountability machine

I posted on X for the first time In ages. Immediately deleted the post. Holy Christ. It’s bad bad. Like sticking your head in a wasps nest

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I watched three barbers scuffle and accuse one of being gay, because he complained about the price of a roast dinner in Amsterdam. The logic being that any man who had the money for a roast dinner in Amsterdam was not spending it on sex, and was thus secretly gay

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social did you know about this, a search engine that finds information from the old net? I searched one thing and though, if Blindboy doesn't know about this, he ought to lol.

Why would I want to watch a person talk about an article they read for ten minutes? We used to have Twitter threads for that. Within 15 seconds I’d know wether I was invested or not

Protocells emerge in experiment simulating lifeless world: ‘There is no divine breath of life’ Researchers from a Spanish laboratory observe, for the first time, the formation of compartments alongside the basic ingredients of organisms

Here’s the article ye coynce english.elpais.com/science-tech...

I’m sick of finding interesting articles on videos behind a persons head. No Links. And then having to search out that article via a screengrab. Things were better ten years ago. This isn’t just me being an old man. Text based social media with hyperlinks was better. The children are wrong

Taylor Swift... you are ruining my life.

This type of thing really keeps me going
