  The latest in a line of artists who choose their stage names from formative video rentals, like Hudson Mohawke and Fred Again.

  That’s probably the best one of these

  Didn’t know he was in Angine de Poitrine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Live: Jacinta Allan to resign as Victorian premier, paving way for Ben Carroll⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know nothing about Carroll, but if he doesn’t turn the ALP’s fortunes around, Victoria’s going to be a Trumpist kakistocracy run by Hansonite horsepasters and/or whichever outer-suburban pentecostal headbangers now run the Liberal Party. Hope he can pull it off.

  And when a Black kid is shots dead by police, they do their best to find a photo of him looking like a back-alley mugger or at least a menacing-looking rapper. You know, so that the reader can imagine the cop fearing for his life.

  The technical term is “percussive maintenance”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think NAMBLA or some other similar org might buy them...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  On one level, it’s an epic cockup. On another, it’s a revelation of a deeper, more poetic truth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨knew a few guys like this⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When faithful Mormons get their own planet to rule over in the afterlife, they do this. Not many people know this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This oughta work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Singapore is effectively a one-party state, with a nominally democratic system expertly managed to prevent opposition parties from getting anywhere near power. If you ignore the question of Marxist-Leninist iconography, it’s closer to China than a lot of people would admit (though is connected to the open internet).

  William Gibson famously called it “Disneyland with the death penalty” in a WIRED article in the 90s.

  Of course. Why would they offer her Batman?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This oughta work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Singapore’s solution is similar to the Chinese one. There’s a limited number of car permits, and you can’t buy or import a car unless you have one. They change hands for more than the price of a car. One side effect, though, is that having a car in itself has become a status symbol.

  Americans IRL: (Standing in the TSA queue at the airport) “Train? What’s that?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No ChatGPT for sexy time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps they can next bring back Maoist self-criticism, but make it a dating profile workshop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe that’s a Byakhee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold, the future!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ll need a public transport system. Not for anything as un-American as bringing the carless to Costco, but for the motorists who lucked out and had to park in the outer reaches of the car park.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spherical Bastard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are also fractal bastards, who are uniformly lousy at any zoom level

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They did, only it was a little later. By then it had emptied out and you could squat, set up a studio, throw raves and such in prime central locations for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Outrageous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to grustle up your clout if you want a chance to be picked by the algorithm for the handful of slots between the ads and influencer slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are plug sockets region locked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was even worse at the start of the 20th century. There were no national standards, and different companies came up with their own plug/socket systems to save early adopters from having to wire everything in directly. If your house came with electrical sockets, their type often depended on what the builder could get cheaply. National standards arise when governments and standards bodies picked winners. (The US ended up choosing one American manufacturer’s flat-pinned system, though another one, with the pins rotated at a 45° angle, ended up being adopted in Australia, New Zealand and Argentina.)

  Occasionally you see odd-looking sockets on old buildings, often with a distinctly early 20th century styling. Some places keep them for distinct uses (in railway stations in Britain you sometimes see sockets that look like the normal British ones only with the pins rotated, presumably reserved for cleaning equipment).

  There have been moves to establish a unified international standard (which looks like a more compact version of the Swiss plug), though only Brazil has adopted it (and South Africa is transitioning gradually to it from the old British system it inherited).

  Autism is anything expressing non-normative personality or interests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unlike Count Binface, joke parties can’t run in Australian elections — and that’s serious⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Australia has had joke candidates in the past. There was Murgatroyd, who ran satirical campaigns in PMs’ electorates through the 80s and 90s. Was the law changed to prevent others from continuing this tradition?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon invents a time machine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, scientific papers would be as likely to be published in German or French as in English, and when computers appear, technical terms and keywords would probably not be in American English. This universe’s equivalent of FORTRAN or the UNIX command line may be based on German grammar.

  “May your chickens grow lips!” — a curse uttered by a medieval peasant in an old video game

  The earth is flat; it’s just space that’s curved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IRJ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Traditionally Islam prohibited the depiction of any living forms (Allah’s copyright or something like that), which is why traditional Islamic art and architecture lean so heavily into geometric patterns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Girl Scouts are ramping up their tactics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s their leader-known offshoot, Girl Special Forces

  Hey, if it worked for the House of Habsburg, it can work for your oil dynasty as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨national anthem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only seen one episode, the San Junipero one. I can’t wait to watch the rest. I do love some cozy, optimistic sci-fi.
