Occasional thoughts about noisy experimental music and Cardiff town planning debacles. Mostly I just lurk. Also here: https://letterboxd.com/vitalbeachyeah/films/diary/ and here: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/187052-nick
I remember how the guy who’d been pretending to be his own wife for years kept posting afterwards. “It’s okay … I can recover from this”
I don't think they'll ever recreate what it was like to be on twitter in the 2010s. Soap opera stuff happening constantly. Poster you were vaguely aware of involved in federal fentanyl bust. Poster whose jokes you occasionally liked posed as his aunt (or wife?) for 6 years. Pastor who steals jokes

Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
People say Microsoft Excel is unintuitive, but I disagree. Excel does what I expect at least 4-Mar of the time.
I’ve found out that if you google Zebedee the AI overview will pull through a description of the biblical Zebedee and an image of Zebedee from The Magic Roundabout.
Why is it an insult to call some place a “one-horse town?” They’re doing okay. They’ve got a horse
I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
