I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Back in July, Korean band Balming Tiger was playing the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. It was pissing down with rain, and this is their performance of “Wash Away”. Not their best performance, but the energy is amazing. And a very different attitude to stage invasions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYiA...

One upside of when Nvidia crashes is that a lot of people are going to learn the word 'invidious' courtesy of pun-chasing headline writers
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

Indeed. Not only do we have the world’s richest 8-year-old thinking that insulting (“roasting”) people at parties with “forbidden words” is the height of hilarity, it’s that this shit podcast happens four times a week for 2.5 to 3 hours, and it’s (one of?) the most listened-to podcast in the world.

Tue plan: I’ll finish editing that podcast with @zerogeewhiz.bsky.social, finally, and post it. And I’ll set up a summer crowdfunder. The two threads will come together tonight. I’m pretty sure there will be a nap, too, to avoid the afternoon heat.
