I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I really wished EVERYONE who regularly idolises Prince had a read of Sinèad O’Connor’s autobiography. Their paths crossed obviously with her first big hit. He, according to her, was a very very creepy man. There is a whole chapter detailing why she described him this way. Bill Cosby Epstein creepy!
Here is 'The Art Of Painting', oil on panel, 49x33cm. From cave painting, to Raphael, to Vermeer, to geometrical abstraction, to me! I used the imagery in the music videos for my album about painters, The Golden Age. Still glazing today. Onwards we charge! #art #painting #oilpainting
I think the biggest mistake you can make with BlueSky is to come here for affirmation. I come here (occasionally) to cathartically shout into the void. But its lack of algorithmic pigeon-holing means you can aimlessly discover stuff you didn’t know you liked. Trending video is brilliant!
I’ve finally got round to appreciating the majesty of @shearwaterband.bsky.social today. Absolutely gutted I am overseas when they gig in Bristol soon. Go see em! music.apple.com/gb/album/day...

I have been watching this footage of Argentina Coach, Scaloni on loop, all morning
I just don’t understand how VAR remained silent for both England and Spain these last two games. The only way to shut that type of crass football down,is to have a handful of players on a yellow card.If FIFA want football to be enjoyable they need to punish teams like Argentina for tactical thuggery

1986’s match between ENG V ARG had a song written about it? Really?
On 22nd June 2026 it will be 40 years since Diego Maradona almost single handedly* beat England in the quarter finals of the World Cup. I wrote a song with @jimsangermusic.bsky.social about it. *Pun intended music.apple.com/gb/album/die...
U.S. BlueSky passion for the World Cup underdog is making me think that they have only been watching football for a month. I don’t think I’ve seen one septic talk about what a game Bellingham had or the beauty of a Messi through ball. Bless em
I’m surprised no one has talked about how windy it was at the Azteca stadium last night. #JordanPickford
Transferring large intrinsic parts of your corporation’s ability to operate using AI, whilst knowing that in future, you will pay increasingly higher costs for that computational ‘labour force’? CEOs are willingly sponsoring the enshitification of capitalism itself

Love the new Notwist album. It’s got that ‘everyone in a room vibe’ that can be hard to produce, but they have pulled it off. A real gem thenotwist.bandcamp.com/album/news-f...

Wrote this track 14 years ago. The oldest song on my soundcloud. But it still bangs. I had just got a new horns sample set with trills and whatnot and I went to town… on.soundcloud.com/0khTiV4SsU9O...

I'd obviously been listening to a bit too much George Clinton when I wrote this. All the elements of a good old 70's porn soundtrack with a big band feel. Cheers to Jim Wylie for some awesome bass t

Just checked into BBC 6 Music for the first time in a long while and Mr Grimshaw played (for my half hour journey) some of the cheesiest dance crap. I mean, if it’s meant to be a channel for the experimental and non mainstream, why are they playing tunes that have the musical integrity of primula?

Woke up to find the fat ginger nonce *hadn’t* nuked Tehran and it turns out half the snarky commentariat on BlueSky think it’s appropriate to wheel out the T.A.C.O. meme as a bit of glib social commentary. “He didn’t follow through on Armageddon threats! What a coward!” 🥴
