The ghost is often a manifestation of things we ought to know, but cannot interpret correctly. A failure of translation across time, across place. For few truly speak the language of mystery, the tongues of the dead. - Rev. Æthelstan Morley, Church of England ghost-layer

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

It's also the only time you'll ever hear a pre-Star Wars David Prowse very audibly break character when Tony Anholt smacks his rubber-suited alien character in the dick with a fire extinguisher.
If Space:1999 has taught us anything, it’s that all aliens are British.

Another huge influence on me - a small scale fanzine with big design ambitions, but more importantly the first place that I had seen something as mundane as television production treated like it had a story to tell. Also Andrew Pixley's first venture!

Not convinced this little venture should have taken half a year to complete, but I hope it's been a fun ride celebrating everyone's favourite Space: 1999 episodes!
It's time for my last ever Space: 1999 episode listicle!!
Not surprised at all that this was the number one voted episode by fans to receive a factual deep dive.

Heaven Sent is a tremendously riveting standalone effort of weird science-fantasy TV drama and a prime example of Moffat's insufferable, smug, mythology-laboured Doctor Who. It can be both things.

It's been a morning of one final round under the dentist's drill for another filling, but we're also off to see Wake Up Dead Man this evening and we've bought tickets for Neil Young in Manchester next year. Whoop whoop!

I've taken to wondering if the terminally tense relationship between Ed Straker and General Henderson, with Straker continually having to justify the financial cost of running SHADO, was inspired by Gerry's own relationship with Lew Grade?

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.
