I love the references for his existing fans in the video too - the synth rack, the overalls, the mini.....iykyk
Do you know what, it's brilliant to see a talented synth and electronics nerd become a Eurovision entrant.

Looks slightly in Malcolm tucker mode.
Just hitting the random button is proper fun. Nice one.
relatable (sound on)
There's existing precedent in the music industry isn't there? Ai required to report use......creators register as creators of a work.......royalties society distributes based on use of the work?
Quite rare to see a chart that says quite so overtly that no one involved has the slightest clue what’s happening here
Any merit in the drivel I write comes from learning painstakingly how to write essays.
To assay - to test - exactly what I thought and knew about a matter.
Great essayists - Woolf, Orwell, Bacon, Montaigne, Hazlett - are utter intellectual joys as you read how they test themselves on topics too.

YouTuber Look Mum No Computer chosen as UK entry for Eurovision 2026 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
What an amazing and ace choice. Sam is a great communicator - I follow his channel on YouTube and it's amazing eccentric and fun.
Enjoyed this article by Martha Lane Fox. I think the framing (collapsing price of initiative) is v helpful.
But it left me with the usual question: are all of these bits of code going to be that useful? Are there diminishing returns? If everyone can build web apps for their start up - is that good?
This focus on long term reliability is one of the things missing from current thinking on "AI-ready" data.
We need data infrastructure and that requires institutions, business models, regulators, legislation.

NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months
* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor
If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far…

On weeknights, Turkey's five commercial channels and state broadcaster TRT typically broadcast a dizi each at prime time. As each dizi typically lasts three hours, including advertising breaks, that makes for up to 75 hours of programming a week. Such massive output is winnowed by rating numbers the morning after broadcast. That leads to the swift cancellation of dud shows and fosters intense competition. For the roughly 60 per cent of Turkish programmes that succeed, it also leaves international sales as pure profit on top.
‘Turkish film producers have made consistently binge-worthy shows that sold across the world and had been watched by nearly 1bn people, according to the culture ministry.’
Loved this on the fail fast model for Turkish TV dramas known as dizi

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.
I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.
The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Always an exciting moment when we see les grues (the cranes) flying north over our part of France… a sign that spring is on the way.
my newsletter is on Buttondown. it is VERY easy to move to and use and the customer support is personal and great. if you started a substack without knowing about the nazis, it’s time to shift.
if information architecture is your thing and you have 40 minutes, you can watch my talk where i argue that information architects should step out from underneath the UX umbrella and reestablish IA as a sovereign concept
IA can start by making developers' lives easier

I think it's more focussed on the library bit than the data bit. So it's about the borrowing and sharing and updating of a thing, and less about the thing?
So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.
When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.
Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.
