Art, literature and music are ways we express our human experience. Generative AI has nothing to say. Its remixed slop can only ever be, to quote Shakespeare, “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This really picks up the second Lady Sylvia Marsh arrives with her sexy saxophone backing track. Strange, campy, naughty, & hilarious—everything you expect from Ken Russell. Young Hugh Grant & bagpipe-playing Peter Capaldi vs. a pagan snake cult is pure 80s B-movie bliss! #100DaysOfHorror #Horror 🎬

MAGA doesn't want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work to help people would actually look like. Because then everybody would want that to happen everywhere and they would start realizing that democratic socialist policies are good.

The 9th entry of my "How The Heck?" series is out! 🔒 It's all about how locks work, from ancient Egyptians nailing the design to why the perfect lock doesn't exist. It was a fun rabbit hole to go down, and challenging to get the visuals right.
How The Heck Do Locks Work? (An Interactive Exploration)
An interactive exploration of how locks work: from pin tumbler mechanics and shear lines to wrong keys, picking, bumping, and better lock designs.

As a design consultant of a certain vintage, this is about my 4th round of some flavor of "everyone will build their own apps".
There’s so much hatred for disabled people. People assume we’re faking. They assume we can “positive think” our way to better health. They assume we want to trample their rights to a “normal” existence. They vilify us because they’re terrified of becoming us.
My all-time favourite zombie movie!
#Horror365Challenge 281/365 The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974) Dir. Jorge Grau The greatest Spanish/Italian zombie movie set in England you’ve probably never seen. Wonderful script, good acting, and gnarly SFX. 4⭐️!
Americans will keep 3 cats cooped up in a tiny apartment where they're obviously stressed, miserable and desperate to get out and then have a go at Europeans for letting our cats roam outside. Maybe if it isn't safe to let your cat out where you live, you just shouldn't have one
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a fantastic horror movie. I liked the first one but I loved the sequel. All the new characters are fantastic. Buffy is amazing, that bloke from The Pitt is brilliant and Lisa Frankenstein completely steals the show.
I loved The End Of Oak Street. It really did feel like a big '80s adventure movie. Everyone in it was great, especially the dog.
Great poster! A Nightmare on Elm Street is my favourite horror series and Dream Warriors is my favourite part.

The guy who opined against iced coffee at job interviews has hosted NPR's Yay Capitalism show for decades. Of course he has advice for how to humor rich people so they'll let you live while they exploit you.
