Nice Boat Sick With a propulsive beat and grungy bass guitar, Nice Boat’s new single subverts typical genre categorisation. With a minimal sound that is constructed around a small number of components, Sick reminds me of Death From Above...
Hello, loves! Tout le monde déteste l’IA. I’m tired of this program, or at least the work we’ve been doing. What might be more interesting? Definitely contains bees. A huge fraction of any program, even just pretend ones like our...
Currently re-engaging with bovines in the writing of 'The Book'... First, there's remembering that our babies have the same gestation period as cows. Curious. That got me 'chewing the cud'. Which got me wondering if - metaphorically -...
What a pathetic state to be in, to want someone. To need someone. To need warmth. To need love. I write love as though I am writing a foreign word, a foreign curse, like a language I am trying to learn while knowing I can never become...
This blog writes that the author is fighting with AI to produce the blog correctly.I dictate it. I put it in AI. I yell at AI to not change it, just clean it up. Then it doesn’t do it. Then I yell at it. And eventually we get to what...
16:27 - My brain has been on overdrive this past week (thinking/worrying about my future) and I forget that can take a toll physically. Saving my energy for our D&D sesh later.
Last winter, I wrote about prefiguration: building the future you want within the shell of existing structures. Rather than focusing solely on tearing down systems you don’t like or pointing out what’s wrong with how things are,...
The past few days I read two titles by Kurt Vonnegut, because they were mentioned in Among Others by Jo Walton that I read last month. The protagonist in Walton’s book, set in 1979/1980, is an avid reader, also of science fiction and...
Today I learned about the Trivial File Transfer Protocol, and the matching tftp command. It’s like FTP, but much more simple, less secure, uses less memory, and is sometimes used in initial bootloading on low memory devices. It isn’t...
Kind of. I’m meeting a friend I haven’t seen in two years. When we met in 2024 he was very kind and took me out in dates. We hadn’t spoken for a while but I decided to reach out and spontaneously we’ve decided to meet in a couple of...
My recent four-part analysis of Mary was one of the hardest things I’ve ever written for Dirty Feed. When I’m writing stupid shit about The Young Ones, I have a base level of knowledge about the show in my head. With Mary, I was writing...
I follow Cloudflare's blog because it's useful to keep an eye on what the cadre of nazi apologists that man-in-the-middle something north of 10% of the web traffic on the Internet are up to and what fresh hell (like their constant bot...
Six years. If you were to tell me back in August of 2020 that this little "hobbyist" blog would still be alive and kicking, I would not have believed you. Yet, here we are. Over the past 365 days, there were 17 posts published. Which, I...
If anything looks wrong, read on the site! I’ve been trying to write this post for 9 months. I could never get past writing a handful of words on it, but the idea of writing about Saudade has been bouncing around in my head constantly...
Learning more about myself as if I were a D&D character. BackgroundIn late February, I was struggling with task management and trying different methods, like playing On-Together. What really got my brain ticking was seeing myself as a...
