I keep meaning to post something, but I've run out of opinions. I don't seem able to formulate any new ones. And god knows how many times I've recycled all my old opinions; I never got around to updating them.

Those guys on Louis Theroux's #Manosphere. Frightened little boys desperately clutching onto a pantomime concept of masculinity; lashing out at a world too nuanced for their inferior intellects. Sad. They're like the ad scams & pyramid schemes in 1960s comics. Be a REAL man! Girls! Get rich quick!

So tired of these pricks. See also: Palantir's Alex Karp.
But that's all just this week.
The club for wretched and entitled little tech boys has a vast, and increasingly abhorrent membership.

"That's $100 please"
"For what?"
"The use of intelligence"
"But the intelligence is mine. It's inside my actual head. I acquired it through hard work."
"No. $100. Here's the itemised bill, look."
"This is just a list of intellectual properties you stole from me."
"$140 now. Late fee."

I do exercise to keep thing ticking over. 5km jogs. You hear of people who experience feelings of well-being, even rushes of euphoria, to which they become addicted. Who *are* these people? Sport/exercise to me has always felt like being dragged around a field by a rabid bull. A necessary evil.

It has been almost 53 years since the release of their last record album.
Hopefully something soon?

The contents of a forgotten box in the cellar. From my brief days as an editor (35+ years ago). 16mm and 35mm films including Jim Henson's 1960s/70s Muppet Meeting Films, John Cleese's Video Arts training films, Charlie Chaplin shorts, and even an ident/logo for the long-defunct Palace Pictures (The Crying Game, The Company of Wolves, etc).
No idea how I came by all this, although I do have a vague memory of rescuing at least a couple of these from a skip.

Last night's vivid dream: Louis Theroux is sitting opposite me at a table while I perform an action. His expression is one of wonder and astonishment, as if I'm doing a very clever close-up magic trick, or something like that. But what I'm actually doing is theatrically peeling a potato.

The US is using #AI targeting in its attacks on Iran.
In unconnected news: In the last few days I've uploaded a batch of photos of streets/buildings in 1960-61 Manchester in search of their sources, and AI's unsolicited assistance has proven to be 100% wrong about location/date.
In the example below, AI was almost 200 miles and half a decade out.

I stumbled across maps from 1577 online, incl Cheshire, where I'm from. I went down an Elizabethan rabbit hole & bought a book about her advisor Cecil. Then, on Saturday, I went into a local charity shop, and there was map on the wall (in Bern!) And, reading more, I learned it was owned by Cecil! Kismet. #history #map

🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc.
Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.

Saw this on TV last night. #BeatGeneration adaptations are typically a bit weak, but this really stands out. Much better than I thought it would be. They really caught the feverishness of Burroughs, via cinematic nods to Lynch, Jodorowsky, Fassbinder.

Just saw someone post elsewhere that they're a big jazz fan. When asked who their favourite jazz artist is, they replied: 'I like loads but Boz Scaggs is up there'.
Boz.
Scaggs.
Wonder who their favourite avant-garde modernist painter is. Bob Ross?

A habitual fidgeter, I've been absent-mindedly fiddling with my beard/moustache. I didn't realise I had remnants of chocolate spread on my fingers. I guess it functions like wax because I just passed a mirror and saw that I've inadvertently given myself a ridiculous, pointy Salvador Dali moustache.

Stumbled across a video about early 1900s Manchester. All #AI, it's like a fever dream. The absurd narration ("If Manchester sneezes, the global textile market catches a cold") slips between various accents. Most of the visuals are insane: impossible equipment, vanishing objects, plus see Alt texts.

People often invoke George Orwell when discussing the grim state of the world, but Hans Christian Andersen, with his story about a vain, gullible emperor, and the townsfolk who are too afraid to challenge his stupidity, doesn't get the credit he's due. #Davos #WEF

@Richard_Littler@mastodon.social For a while he was going to open another theme park, in Blackpool. (It dead-ended around 2014. I used it in one of my novels …)

@cstross@wandering.shop Just one example among a great litany of things wrong with his books/theories.

When I moved to Switzerland, I discovered he was a local. He built an 'ancient mysteries' theme park, which soon failed, but the buildings still stand. I took some photos a couple of years ago.

"Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears" Struggling to understand what all this means? Maybe you relied too often on (inaccurate &/or biased) #AI summaries, rather than using your little grey cells. I could draw a picture of it for you, if you'd like, but, to make up for all the graphic work I've lost to AI, my fee went up. https://ca.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/peter-thiel-dumps-entire-nvidia-stake-slashes-tesla-holdings-amid-bubble-fears-4320129
