Yes, that random dude from the other place. Still playing Spectrum games, listening to prog rock and worrying about the climate crisis. Interested in motives and renewable tech.

CRASH 30 is wrapped and it's stuffed tighter than Wally’s Christmas stocking! We've got reviews (Asymmetry, Magenta Sky & Zak McDrucken etc.), a look at the Currah Microspeech, an interview with Chris Hinsley and an Investigation into what Spectrum devs were paid back in the day.

The new Black Mirror is about as grim as you'd like. The logical end state of the subscription model. I can see it happening too.

Does anybody else feel that Trump capitulating to China so obviously, is going to be remembered as a profound moment in history?

I don't want to hear a single peep from JD Vance about "freedom" ever again. Accusing your opponents of that which you're guilty is an old Nazi trick.

It's quite something that pretty much all my worst fears about a second Trump term have already been blown passed. Horrifying statements coming out of the White House.

Lomborg is a breathless liar.
Bjorn Lomborg is up to his usual disinfo in the Telegraph (25th Jan) attacking the energy transition like his salary depends on it. He is wrong. Here is why: 1) the clean energy workforce surpassed that of fossil fuels around 2021 to employ over 50% of total energy workers worldwide.

Yup, workers look after other workers, corporations look out for their shareholders.

Please remember that every time you feel stressed your body is releasing cortisol.
Choosing to flood your system with cortisol every day creates: weight gain, acne, high blood pressure, heartburn, slower healing, & lack of focus.

You cannot satirise the world anymore. Real life and the culture around it have become so insane, any attempt to satirise it is just consumed, celebrated and the bar just drops another level.

The irony of this massive race to "Super Intelligence", is that these hyper capitalists, are very possibly ushering in an era of global communism. 😀

Most people are vulnerable to claims of hypocrisy because throughout the course of a lifetime, whatever values we try to live by are rarely consistent with what is in our interest. Elect leaders whose interests align with your own, that is the only way to guarantee they will truly represent you.

I've just realised that Open AI head, Sam Altman's surname is particularly eyebrow raising, considering his position! Alt-Man. Hmmmmm.

Probably one of my favourite comments to make about climate change, is that it's not a question of whether or not you "believe" in it, it's a question of whether or not you "understand" it.

Every word of this hits the bullseye. We're getting to the point where corporations and even individuals are becoming wealthier than nation states. They are sucking the wealth out of this planet and leaving us all to fight for the scraps.

Probably the best way for the EU and UK to deal with X isn't to try and ban it but play Musk at his own game. Create high profile representative accounts which shadow his account, expose every grubby deal or fact about his past or current connections he doesn't want known. Expose and humiliate him.
