@HarrySword I'm a fan, too! Thanks or posting this.

A fair few people on the thread re: 90's movies/'four channel' culture have mentioned the director Alex Cox/BBC2 Moviedrome? Huge, long time fan. I had the pleasure of interviewing him - many moons ago - for Vice. May be of interest to some: vice.com/en/article/ale…

@dwaldenwrites Postman was so prescient. I'm reading "Technopoly" right now.

Lol virtually nobody has been vindicated as much as Neil Postman other than perhaps Andrea Dworkin and Jesus

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

The CDC has paused rabies, smallpox, and monkeypox testing for state and local public health departments amid drastic staff reductions. By July, the NYT estimates the rabies team will be down to one person, while the pox team will have none.

@Martinoleary @tomfgoodwin I didn’t think so at first, but after watching "Tales from the Tour Bus", I completely agree.

@domali3 @tomfgoodwin mike judge is a genius

Growing up, I never expected the future to be this stupid

@Martinoleary @tomfgoodwin Recently tried to rewatch Idiocracy, but got too depressed and turned it off.

@tomfgoodwin did you watch idiocracy?

Half of US data centers planned for 2026 are expected to be delayed or canceled. One big reason is shortage of electrical equipment, such as transformers, switchgear and batteries. US doesn't have manufacturing capacity, forcing it to rely on imports. 🎁🔗 bloomberg.com/news/features/…

@BiancoDavinci I wonder what a great sheet music sight reader would make this sound like?

Damn, that’s wild—Harvard stuck 24 office workers in the same room for 6 days, secretly tweaking the air quality (ventilation, CO2, and VOCs from typical office stuff), and their cognitive scores doubled in the cleaner “green+” conditions vs. standard stale setups. Better decision-making, strategy, crisis response—all crushed by poor indoor air we breathe 90% of the time. Open windows, crank ventilation, cut the junk emitters. Your brain’s paying the price right now. Fix the air, sharpen the mind.

Great to see BVG have finally rolled out their double decker U Bahn trains for 2026 👏
