Farewell to the electronic genius Dave Ball (1959-2025) whose pop music with Soft Cell defined an era, and launched alt dance with The Grid. His Strict Tempo (1983) solo album remains an all time fave of mine too.

A aby se občané dalších měst jen nesmáli, tak dneska koukneme třeba do Strakonic. Tam by taky chtěl žít každý, protože volnočasové aktivity jsou tam prostě nepopsatelné

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...
