Remember how the Brexit referendum was won days after a politician on the remain side was assassinated by someone supporting leave, and the whole thing was apparently just forgotten about?

Here is a little blast from the past for all you synthesizer fans out there. Mark Isham - Never Cry Wolf. Fantastic movie with an amazing soundtrack, which often reminds a little of blade runner.

That was very pretty. The youtube video had some great visuals from the movie, which was great because I've never seen it and now I want to! Thank you for the cool recommendation! :3 💙💙💙💙

Finally made my first demo with Slipstream!

@Violet 's monitor got damaged on the way to the Black Valley @demoparty_no party, so in a life-giving-you-lemons exercise, I decided to make it into a one-of-a-kind custom demo platform using the remaining pixels. One soundtrack from @vurpo later and we were in business...

A guy on Facebook reported one of my #COVID19 posts as misinformation, saying that masks have been proven to be ineffective at preventing infections. If you are laboring under the same delusion:

When I was young I *really* wanted a pen plotter, but we never got one. Maybe someday I'll see if I can get hold of one to play with.


Making #penplotter progress. I had to stop it while it was making the title text because it was doing this weird thing where it kept lifting and dropping the pen making the curves, but all the other line work and text came out great!

Sadly I didn't take as many photos outside my paid shoots as I'd have liked due to being exhausted and friends missing the con.

But if I got a photo of you that you enjoyed consider tossing a ko-fi my way!

What a fantastic way to describe gas vs #solar electric for transportation.

“If you grow an acre of corn, it will produce 900 gallons of ethanol, which will get you about 25,000 miles for a Ford F-150 pickup,” says Carson. “Which is, not bad I guess. But let’s say we put solar on that same acre. It will produce enough electricity every year to drive my Lightning 550,000 miles.”

You cannot buy your way to happiness

“the key to a longer, healthier life is no mystery”. Research has long shown that it comes down to five fundamental lifestyle behaviours: exercising regularly, eating sensibly, limiting alcohol, skipping cigarettes and “nurturing meaningful relationships”. This stuff is simple, “somewhat boring” and, crucially, harder to make money from than “trendy supplements, complex-sounding theories and new gadgets”.

So I just watched #TVNZ news go from a report on Trump shooting, concluding there's no place for political violence in US, to a story about Israel killing more than 90 innocent #Palestinian civilians sheltering in a designated 'safe zone' in an attack allegedly targeting 2 Hamas military leaders. I hope #NZMedia isn't blind to their blatant political hypocrisy.

I'm really really really not interested in computers getting more powerful.
I am super interested in them being more repairable and modifiable, drawing less power, lasting and being supported for way longer etc. That stuff still gets me excited

personally I think the MONA thing is hilarious, especially in the context of the Discourse.

for non-Australians, the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Tasmania had an area called the Ladies Lounge, where men were not allowed. They hung several fake Picassos, an antique mink rug that was actually polyester, and a bunch of fake tribal spears. The idea was that it was a criticism of the general idea of the patriarchy where men typically have a lot more opportunities for... pick a thing. Even when women were allowed in, what was actually inside were cheap replicas devoid of any amount of authenticity. It's ripping on token inclusion.

In an eye-watering display of self-awareness deficiency, a man then sued MONA for not being allowed in, claiming discrimination due to being a man. He claimed that as he had paid admission to the whole of MONA but was not permitted to this specific exhibit due to his gender, he was being discriminated against.

The Tasmanian Civil Tribunal agreed, and MONA was directed to admit men into a women's-only area. The irony is thick enough that you could cut it with a knife.

MONA, in response, dismantled the exhibit except for the fake Picassos. All the bathrooms at MONA are single-occupancy all-gender, but it turns out having a women's bathroom from which men are excluded *isn't* discriminatory, so they converted one into a women's bathroom and hung the fake Picassos in there, an exhibit of itself.

The art exhibit was basically a criticism of "turns out the only safe space for women away from men is a bathroom, and people will still claim that you're getting special rights because you get to see something nobody else can. Even if what you're seeing is a cheap replica, someone somewhere will claim that you have it good because you're getting something they don't."

Picasso's estate, however, took a rather dim view of unauthorised replicas being displayed in an art gallery in Tasmania, even though it was literally years between putting up the artwork and someone noticing. They've since been taken down with no further action.

MONA has declared that the Ladies Lounge will return as something where S26 of the Sex Discrimination Act doesn't apply, such as a church or boutique glamping experience.

They've also expressly stated that the Ladies Lounge includes ALL women, not just cis ones.

I love everything about this story. Fucking classic stuff coming out of the art world.

This 2018 article from the Guardian lives rent-free in my head. I think about it often.

Michell Baker: ”if we have Stem education without the humanities, or without ethics, or without understanding human behavior, then we are intentionally building the next generation of technologists who have not even the framework or the education or vocabulary to think about the relationship of Stem to society or humans or life.”

TIL that in the UK political system the two following statements are both true :

1) in order to vote for a candidate in a general election, you must provide photo ID.

2) in order to stand as a candidate in a constituency, to hopefully receive votes cast by those people mentioned in #1, you are *not* required to provide any photo ID.

The UK is insane.

On their trip home my Taiwanese colleague was shocked that #UK border officer that #BRP will expire at the end of this year; they told me and I said "yeah I knew but I have not heard anything or get any notification"....we both emailed our HR and HR said "oh HomeOffice told us this website for the new #evisa please try it and let us know". We went and did it just like that....HR and us are both relieved...all along we thought why no one from HO announced this 🤬? Many thanks for our HR though
