#ThreeGoodThings I watched recently:
"Re: Poland's Milk Bars" on Arte TV. A documentary on cheap eateries in PL. I had no idea of the roles they play.
"BTS: The Return" on Netflix. Creative process on steroids. Fascinating.
Artemis II launch on YouTube. Once a space nerd, always a space nerd :)
You and your family got a week to get out, btw our best buddies are probably getting your country bombed right now, xoxo UK

1. Mari Mathias & Angharad Jenkins last night at the Taliesin. So much good musical energy.

3. Car passed MOT, largely thanks to a repair I did myself with a little help from YouTube. Am officially better at fixing my rustbox than authorised car dealer service :)
RIP Moya Brennan. Listening to this wonderful concert & having a bit of a sulk.

"YouTube thinks you are a bot" is a sentence that makes me angry on so many levels.
Today I learned that Paulo Freire was among the first recipients of an honorary doctorate from The Open University.
Cool.
If you're using AI, you're enabling the fascist empire kill chain. No ifs, no buts, no exceptions. All these companies, US or not, have govt contracts and bailouts built into their endgame plans, and they need you to stay on board long enough to get there.
Quit today and never come back.

I have now seen the best 2 movies of this Oscars season ("Sinners" and "K-pop Demon Hunters") :)
Tell me you're transcribing a talk about Ireland without telling me you're transcribing a talk about Ireland
Replying to
@geospacedman@mastodon.social Absolutely, just make sure you leave behind an AI listening device that later sells transcripts of it all on Amazon, mkay?
