Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

I am mildly, but not intensely, curious about a certain pioneering British net artist who I am mutuals with back on the Old Place, who now only follows and retweets the most vile racist shit. I wonder what happened to him.

Bone Temple sequel looks shit

This is the dark side of #openaccess we never imagined or intended. The requirement, "Fetch fresh per need. Do NOT build a reusable local pool of downloaded images to draw from." at scale is effectively DDOSing cultural heritage infrastructure.

Yes lockdown was really tough for kids. Lots of those kids are teenagers now so maybe as a thank you our establishments could stop deliberately making even more things worse for them due to a weird systemic hatred of our own youth

it was a threat to the kids' parents and grandparents, from the kids who would bring it home from school. basic epidemiology there

Covid was- overwhelmingly- not a threat to children. Hence why (generally) we don’t vaccinate them now.

And it's the #MuseumDocumentation that lets you tell those stories. Without it, you just have a pile of ... things.

you can tell stories about objects, you can tell stories with objects, but the objects don't tell the stories, people do. people tell stories.

You’d think “57 PEOPLE tragically died trying to reach Ceuta” would be the BBC News headline but it’s about “migrants” as they become an Elon Musk X account tribute act

Waiting for Trump to die is like being a toddler stuck in a looping Christmas Eve, in anticipation of a Christmas morning that never comes.

lord how I HATE the archetypal Art Gallery Website and its bold commitment to faux-spare aesthetics that eliminate the barest morsels of any useful actual information.

Can anyone identify this North African(?) port city. Not a quiz -- I don't know!
