After almost 3 decades of making records, it’s still exciting to receive a piece of vinyl with my name on it. Grab my disco-dub mix of @HARD_FI from @RoughTrade roughtrade.com/en-gb/product/…

Zionism is a national movement, remarkably similar to other national movements despite its peculiarities. Like the other ones, it has harbored both good and evil, both crimes and virtue, both wars and culture, both negation of life and affirmation of it.


Hadn't read the story until now, but yes, they do seem to have completely missed the point of the idea they're supposed to have tested.

The entire point of the INFINITE monkey theorem is that given an INFINITE amount of time they will type out the works of Shakespeare, its not misleading because it would take them longer than the age of the universe, the age of the universe is miniscule compared to infinity.

“What do these two Snapchat ads [micro-targeting swing state areas] have in common? They are distributed by a fund financed by Elon Musk. For Muslim users, a poster saying Kamala Harris' supports Israel. For Jewish users, a poster saying she supports Palestinians.” —@GrablyR

All of the things I hate about the way growth and fiscal policy etc are discussed around Budget time, an endless thread. 1. The way they accumulate numbers. What is this horror? theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o… It is 20 x 5. Say twenty. 1/
