Tastes change, yes, but imagine how different the triple j hot 100 would be if being able to play an instrument and hit a note without auto tune was a mandatory. Music has gone backwards because the laptop has made it all about production. Tail’s wagging dog.

It’s a thrill when someone contacts you from South Korea and says they liked your book and you didn’t know it had been translated and published and hadn’t even seen the cover! But … cool!

@t4 what’s happening?

Three of the most terrifying graphs on the internet right now.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT Prof. Eliot Jacobson

Twitter finally turned to X on my phone. I enjoyed Twitter for years. Experiencing a brand I loved be fucked hasn’t been nice.

Fuck you #elon

This is a masterclass in brand destruction. It is absolutely a strategic, I think (hey we all can be wrong), plan to undo a platform of collaborative intelligence that can undo governments. #fuckyouelon

Had a heart attack then a triple bypass over the last few weeks. Has been awesome. Seriously. Being not dead is cool. Extra decades are awesome.

Why am I the only person I know who thinks sampling is intellectual theft? I know they’re paid for but to claim it as “part of the song we wrote” is just plain wrong. Only realised now the coolest part of Hilltop Hoods “Cosby Sweater” the bassline, wasn’t written by them.

The Govt is cracking down on welfare rorting prisoners.
