ModernDayNTK@modernday.ntk.net · 3w ago#OnThisDayInNTK:2001 ntk.net/2001/09/14/?... simultaneous UK releases for: first Fast & Furious film Kinji Fukasaku's Battle Royale @rathergood.bsky.social's PopBitch vs NTK - a comparative review: web.archive.org/web/20010924... & - perhaps predictably - no shortage of wild theorising over 9/11:
![In these terrible times, it's good to watch the tech
community put its problems aside, and supply what we were
all so desperately short of: plenty of wild unsolicited
opinions. After those first few hours of awful shocked
silence - what a relief to be interrupted by the CEO of
CoffeeCup Software, producers of an innocuous Windows HTML
editor, e-mailing his 1.2 million customer base to "call for
[the responsible] country's complete destruction and
annihilation". And at the end of that fateful day, noted
hacker Eric S. Raymond rained his thoughts like fresh water,
revealing that those who "disarmed all the non-terrorists on
those airplanes ... bear some moral responsibility". Thanks
too to BYTE's Jerry Pournelle, who slowly toughened his
demands from an early request that /usr/bin/laden be handed
over "bound and chained", to Thursday's demand that Nablus,
Gaza, Baghdad *and* Damascus be razed to the ground; to the
Evening Standard infowar expert who warned that "inflamed
young men" could escalate the conflict by releasing "cyber
viruses, crashing our computers ... from council houses in
Bradford"; and kindly John Keegan in the Telegraph, who
wrote that ISPs should ban encryption among their users, and
those who refused must be "destroyed with cruise
missiles". And on through the lonely nights, as net.folk on
chat traded credulous rumours and confused geopolitics, and
Nostradamus buffs mulled seriously over a quatrain that,
sadly, was probably invented by a skeptic to show how *any*
random phrase could end up a doomladen prophecy.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yprbwsd7vrg4jh2zsp4rr6wu/bafkreieetuzbcz3v4rzsegkhtz4qn5b7dogwljgzhar4q7o5iwrw6tomx4)
went to an amazing gig last night, 6-hour DJ set covering 1988-2003 in dance music with full-on video backdrop. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen these somewhere before @rathergood.bsky.social
Only 3 weeks till we rock out at the New Cross Inn! Come and join us, Friday 9th October! Free toy for anyone dressed up in rathergood costume! Woohoo!
Raise Your Knees live at the New Cross Inn, London. 7 Seconds Of Love. This was the first time we played this song live. We will be playing the New Cross Inn again on 9th April 2026 so come and see us! It's the only gig we do now, once a year, so it's your only chance to come and have a boogie
How 9/11 and Osama bin Laden kick started the UK's underground internet creative hotbed that shaped early 2000s web culture, in the words of its creator.
b3ta@b3ta.com · 4w ago25 years ago today B3ta launched Well, 25 years ago today, we launched the version of the website you are familiar with, we were going for at least three months beforehand, if you check newsletter dates on issue 1. However most b3tans look at the board post date - so happy birthday us. Sort of.
We are doing our only live gig of the year on Friday 9th October in London, at the New Cross Inn! Come on over it will be SUPERDUPERAWESOME!
Middle daughter: "I'm really struggling with the lighting in my room. I feel it should be warmer and more nurturing, and I really believe that if we work together using the power of family and love we can achieve that." She is now sending me links to lamps she wants me to buy for her.
When you let google perv on your online habits, it sometimes asks the questions you aren't expecting to be asked @rathergood.bsky.social
I stand to accept the applause of my fellow diners. Tonight they have voted for ME. I place the hose in my mouth and turn the tap. In seconds the high pressure savoury sauce has inflated me and I burst, splattering meat shrapnel around The Restaurant. The hotplates on every table sizzle. They feast.
Today marks 150 years since the Beefeeters at the Tower Of London abandoned their ancient uniform of shoes painstakingly stitched from the hides of thousands of bumble bees for leather boots. Bee cobbling is now a lost art and all the original bee feet have long decayed away.
The first thing I always think of with Bill Oddie is @b3ta.com and the @rathergood.bsky.social misheard song lyric for Madonna's 'Erotic': "Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, Put your hands all over my body". www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNvQ...

I haven't been following the WC but I hear England is playing right now so I'll be listening to @rathergood.bsky.social 's World Cup Winners on loop
Can't get over how tragic it is that King Henry VIII missed out on potatoes by just a few brief years. He would have bloody loved chips. 😞
This guy is hanging around in the garden . Taking a break from pecking wood to nibble on a fat ball. Can't say I blame him.
Peony Bowl Of Beauty is out. What a gorgeous flower she is.
Parenting tip! Several times a day, reassure your kids that they are genuine human children constructed using exactly the same natural biological processes as all the other human children they encounter.
Not doing The Voice makes clear what a beautiful song this is really. And now i'm crying a lil bit bc of the timing of this with ArtemisII and all... like yeah we DO like the moon ;u;
This song STILL lives in my head rent free.

We're coming towards the end of daffodil season, but there are some really lovely ones out now
I explained what a national protest movement was, and she explained that she's in kindergarten, thus can't be at the forefront of something like that. She made a sign, though.
Netflix cancelled Bad Dinosaurs after a mere 8 episodes and somehow, according to my kid, it's my fault. She cheered up when I told her that the show was made by @rathergood.bsky.social, the guy who did the Viking Kittens video she loves, but then she demanded I tell him to make more episodes.
Absolutely ruined that song for me, much like @rathergood.bsky.social's Destiny's Child "Alf Garnett / I depend on meat" Flash video did in the pre-Twitter days youtu.be/txz83WACjxY?...

Found this lovely fluffy chonker snuffling about in one of my crocuses just now. Spring is here! Wheeeeee! There are buds starting to crack on my fruit trees, it's all coming back to life THANK GOD!
Ah yes, back when the Web was still new and strange but was just beginning to take off in the popular consciousness. The Crab of Ineffable Wisdom, and the Spongmonkeys liked the Moon, and then they were in a national ad campaign and it felt like you were In On Something for having Known Them When. 😁
