A web comic by Australian artist Stuart McMillen about a Canadian study of a town before and after the arrival of television.
I love small obscure museums. The best is stumbling upon them when you’re travelling. Here’s a gem - the Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum.

An old article that I will be using as the foundational lore for an unrealised game project where the bio-mecha clones of US presidents & sci-fi celebs fight for Freedom™️ in Tokyo in the year 20X6.
I’m loving these little hand-cranked sound baths by artist US Virginia Fleck. I love that they are based on reused materials and bingo cages. There is a range of these on her website, and they are all delightful.
Any money she blasts Laibach while getting driven around the streets of C-town in a black government town car.
You and my 80-year-old father-in-law have something in common. Butter as dip.
This one goes out to all my ASMR heads. Moreover, to my sound designers, check out the texture on these page turns. That’s that vintage tone you only get from medieval pages. This also puts my back in the zone of one of my fave games of recent years - Pentiment.
I’m a sucker for watch restoration videos. I also have a soft spot for people machining new parts from scratch. This video brings these things together. It’s a pity that it doesn’t go for an hour. 😕
I feel like most folks with some awareness already know why Spotify is awful for music. I also appreciate people find it hard to quit, but it isn’t that difficult. If you need some additional motivation here’s “An Ethical Guide to Quitting Spotify.”
Imagine an animated film that looks like it’s made up of drawings you did in your school books, that is very preoccupied with butts, but in a surrealist way. From 1972, The Midnight Parasites, directed by Yoji Kuri, who was influential on Japanese animation in the 1960s.
I’m old enough to have used Apple Macs back in the day. Part of me would love to run a contemporary machine with this UI. How amazing that what used to cost thousands now runs in a browser and on my phone even! We are showered with riches.
A chunky set of videos about Renaissance polymath Cornelius Agrippa. His life was partly the inspiration for Faust: occult writer and magus, theologian, philosopher, legal scholar, physician, soldier, mercenary, and knight.
He was also an entertaining dinner party guest (probably).
An artwork regarding a crisis caused by a strain of transgenic Petunia’s that escaped the lab. Klaus Pichler’s, The Petunia Carnage.
Cute, tuneful video demonstrating the sound and mathematical evolution of western musical tuning systems.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who helped make the game what it is, especially @kalonica.bsky.social, @dangolding.com, @markmitchell.bsky.social, @byronscullin.bsky.social, Jon Kerney and @cheriedavidson.bsky.social.
RIP Alan Lamb
Enshitification in, 3… 2…
Congrats on the launch Jeff. Looking forward to playing it!
Maryanne Amacher was an American composer and installation artist. She is known for working extensively with a family of psychoacoustic phenomena called auditory distortion products in which the ears themselves produce audible sound.
The Pyramids of Giza, always fascinating and amazing — and I’m a sucker for a lightly edited long form walking/travelling vid.
Can do.
Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. Hustings Mr. Speaker!
