a genuinely sui generis musician whose influence will probably only be understood when he’s gone. but, for my money, there’s no cocteau twins, no shoegaze, no uk post rock without him

If you need to know what the people who make up our media are really like, just have a look at all the endless eulogies for wife-beating, racist, CSA fan Rod Liddle today. He was down-punching scum of the worst kind, and so are they.
Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.

!["Print books from the pre-LLM era are structurally guaranteed to be free of this contamination. That alone is a significant advantage," it explains in an article on its website, as quoted by
404. "Physical books published before this date [pre-2022] are structurally clean of modern poisoning tools."
Once focused on helping libraries, distributors, and book shops find and sell books, ISBNdb now helps Al companies bulk-buy anywhere between 1,000 to one million books per order, according to 404.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pxunhtt4zdl4rkkjub54m5ia/bafkreic7burhqtyy3mrqnzzf5gwr3pokwr6gznvg7p5htr4gz3mghh4hny)

My beef with Morrissey runs all the way back to 1986 when he said this about Black artists. Nineteen Eighty Six, while the Smiths were still active. It’s not a “later phenomenon” don’t try and lie to me www.standard.co.uk/culture/musi...

I Dreamed I Dream, one of Irelands best bands at the moment, brought their bass heavy krautpunk to Waterford's Theatre Royal tonight and gave the rafters a proper rattle!
Family home (mum still lives there) looks out straight at Slievenamon. The dining room window is like a frame around the mountain (from Carrick on Suir side). We always used say you could see the weather 20 minutes ahead from looking at it. Now you can see the future by looking at it too.

Historian friend was reading a civil war era letter in an archive, the letter said “In this envelope I include my smallpox scabs” and sure enough there they were. Had to call CDC for a hazmat team.
