I've been writing. Two essays on our strange relationship with tech, now on my site. Start with "The Artist And The Computer", here: zenbullets.com/theartistand...

I send him a nice corporate headshot for the website and he just undresses me with grok.

"feeling cute, might delete later"

I've always liked that one, but I think that more recent portrait of me you did captures my likeness better.

Not 100% certain that a business that 'helps companies create interactive training videos' should reach a valuation of $4bn

Should never have taken him off his meds.

Your threats of public displays of emotion are scaring me.

This is a good read.

Well my website lets you modify the URL to display insulting messages in the header bar. Does yours? zenbullets.com

That's not how you spell "travesty"

Meta's idea of the metaverse is different in the same way their idea of the web is different - i.e. a walled mall rather than a public space.

Someone needs to tell a few million kids hanging out in fortnite / roblox etc that the metaverse is dead...

I'm more worried by the Sussex senior detective's performance. Where might she have learnt that strategy of picking on someone entirely innocent and then not letting up.

Hello to everyone coming over to bsky because they can't make kiddie porn on twitter any more.

There's a case to be made that Sam Altman is the most commercially, if not critically, successful sci-fi author of all time.

I worry the trend for AI-scottishising stuff will soon replace any need I had for @amoebadesign.bsky.social in my life. www.instagram.com/p/DR_zY5MjGyr/

Bit naff, tbh.

Yes. They did a lot of (some may say too many) "comedy" samples. They def had a theatre-organ-style "do like to be beside the seaside", as well as Ren & Stimpy's "happy, happy, joy joy", Pete & Dud, Monty Python, etc...

Melody?! Wash your mouth out you filthy philistine.

That 2.5hr doc on amazon? Loved it. It had me at the Bucks Fizz montage.

It was Chalk (The Haunt). Sound really varies depending on where you stand in that place.

I greatly enjoyed having a sit down in the pub after. Young man's game.

I found it hard work, but rewarding. Their shows are a strange social experience - trying to create an intensely private experience in a public setting. With the demand that everyone shuts the fuck up and pays FULL attention. All of us held in place by a powerful peer pressure.

Not saying Autechre is an exclusively male obsession, of course. But...

The high ticket price is probably to give long suffering WAGs the excuse to stay home.

Deb has seen Autechre. And Aphex. AND she was at one of the super-rare Boards of Canada live shows with me too. None of which left the slightest impression on her.

Can't miss us. Just look for the middle-aged men in black hoodies avoiding eye contact.

Yeah, that, but leaving the house. Magical.
