I wonder if part of it is meeting bloat. Remote meetings as the norm has meant every waking moment is filled with meetings, so people just eat whenever.

Nice flip count. #UnfairFlips

A screenshot of the video game Unfair Flips by Heather Flowers. It shows a table in the foreground with an exploded coin laying upon it, above a button labelled 'Flip', in the setting of a pixel art bar. A lone patron looks straight at the camera, wearing a bizarre bear mask. Text reads: Heads Chance: 50%. Total Flips: 1229.

I love a trial that has to be stopped because it would be unethical for the control group not to receive the treatment.

It's revolting. You can change the settings(!) to revert it to actual notepad behaviour. Lord knows why they decided to ruin notepad.

Imagine, if you will, a bookbinder's apprentice who, with free access to diverse manuscripts, learnt enough knowledge to revolutionise the field of electromagnetism - with no formal education! What's ChatGPT?

Hallowstream is the best streaming series going, which sometimes plays a game and sometimes sits on the pause screen for an hour and a half to have a discussion about contemporary art, or archival practice, or what if there was a tiny Michel Foucault.

Blog post: Returning to Vice City

Some notes playing through GTA Vice City over the last few weeks.

Returning to Vice City

What follows is a sort of loose collection of thoughts I had during my current re-visit of 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Don’t expect some grand conclusion or an essay; just come with me on this...

What kind of sociopath brings a full punnet of strawberries to work and then leaves it to rot in the shared fridge.

Within minutes of starting @shirokumahi.me accuses me of cursing us with a run of pure chaos...

And in that moment, she has absolutely no idea what's in store.

This episode of our Blue Prince LP is wall to wall ridiculous. Enjoy!
