True story! When I was a teenager, dad bought an expensive new home stereo and he wouldn't let me listen to my CDs on it. So when my parents went out I would sneak use it, and I found this album in his small stack of records. I COULD NOT STOP LISTENING!!! Makes me wonder... Happy Birthday, Wendy~

"Mom... I'm trans" 
"Is that because of that album your dad owns?"
"oh yeah, lemme check if I accidentally listened to the fucking album dad owns that makes you trans"
*holds up Switched-On Bach* "oh fuck"

Happy Birthday to our gal Wendy Carlos – the original beep boop doll. Switched-On Bach is an electronic masterpiece and it came out 55 years ago!✨🌹🤖

A goth girl holds up a vinyl copy of Wendy Carlos' seminal album, Switched-On Bach. The cover of the album has a man dressed as Bach standing in front of a Moog synthesiser.

I think the only movie premise as funny as “poor people were evil to Ebenezer Scrooge and made him mean” is that Hannibal Lecter prequel where he saw Nazis so he became an cannibal

EXCITING!! GINNY IS BEING ADOPTED! She's the best and most perfect girl, and someone wants her! (She's very grumpy I have stuck her in the crate for right now)

A best and perfect ginger cat looking slightly upset in the corner of a crate. You could also interpret her face as "who, what?! ME?!" if you wanted, but I know the truth.

What our PM, premiers and chief ministers think about gun control is something we ought to know about. But @albomp.bsky.social has pulled the secrecy shutters down on that info to keep their views from public scrutiny. Apparently our leaders are gun shy. #FOI #auspol

I went looking for a different much older picture (that I can't find right now for the life of me, which is really frustrating) and instead found this picture from what must have been a few years ago of me apparently being extremely impressed & confused that the tortilla chips were entire tortillas.

Photo of me in a Mexican restaurant in front of a chips and salsa basket in which the tortilla chips are entire tortillas.

the absurd demand for AI compute WAS MADE UP. nvidia had a tsunami of RAM and wafers coming it didn't know what to do with and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of GPUs were channel stuffed so hard they're rotting in warehouses this was market manipulation at massive scale to defraud investors

The fucker bought up all RAM on the fucking planet even though he couldn't use it all and did channel stuffing only for hundreds of billions of dollars of GPUs to rot in warehouses and destroyed the electronics market for... for what exactly? This smells like a scam respawnfirst.com/before-resig...

one angle not mentioned in the article and a point that explains part of why we put up with these conditions--workers in our industry are overwhelmingly neurodivergent and/or queer. for many of us (def. me), we simply don't have many other employment options, neither do we have supportive families.
