Anth/social science prof James C Scott's books getting passed around Silicon Valley is a slight surprise.

The Books Shaping Silicon Valley’s Worldview

Silicon Valley’s reading list, Japan’s plan to export its ‘cool,’ and the early but encouraging recovery of Syria’s food scene.

The fact that someone can pardon *their son* and it just be allowed/ part of the system is incredibly weird, and very hard to justify.

4yo: *pretending to be satnav* "I cannot talk language. Sat nav can only talk Sat nav."

Even my 4 yo is a better philosopher of technology than AI hype bros.

My phone reminded me it's almost 12 years since we popped in to the local shopping centre while on holiday and stumbled on Jaki Liebezeit playing a free, pretty nutty gig.

My six favourite European Mr Men character names...

6. Mr Muddle in Spain = Don Confuso
5. Mr Topsy-Turvy in Germany = Herr Kuddelmuddel
4. Mr Bounce in France = Monsieur Bing
3. Mr Dizzy in Portugal = Senhor Bobo
2. Mr Greedy in Sweden = Gubben Glufs Glufs
1. Mr Bump in Norway = Herr Dumpidump

A cover of Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves that says "Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves" and with an illustration of Herr Dumpidump looking especially dumpidumpish (forgive me but I can't stop repeating the word dumpidump... DUMPIDUMP!)

Beautiful show by @cindytheband
the other night at paradiso. Never afraid to play one note when lesser groups would play three. Still my fave debut LP since 1989. Encore q: "would you like a slow song or a slower song?"

Eventually only 30 mins late in but why no comms about it, either in advance, or at the station. Weirdly rushed to get to the eurostar terminal by NS staff. Couldn't someone have told us what was going on? 2/2
