"My new AI meditation app does all my meditating for me, freeing me up to work as many hours as I can"
"I used AI to write my CV/resume and got the first job I applied for. And although I don't possess any of the skills/qualifications on my CV, AI has give me the confidence to believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it."
I've been hunting for this specific typeface/font for ages, but can never find it. It was used for cinema light box/marquees in the UK in the 1960s-1980s. It's close to some of the usual suspects (Gill Sans, Human521, Futura, DIN, Century, etc ), but no cigar. Any ideas?
Really sick of these big tech companies.
Absolute parasites.
"You have the right to object to Meta using your personal info to train AI..."
[BUT]
"...We may still process information about you to develop and improve AI at Meta, even if you object or don’t use our Products and services"
I still find it utterly absurd that #sport is a mandatory part of all news broadcasts. For someone with zero interest in sport, it has sounded like this to me for 50+ years: "Those were the main news headlines... Now, rodent news: Manchester Zoo has loaned Señor Fluffi, a Spanish gerbil, from Zoo Aquarium de Madrid for £20 million. They have also expressed interest in acquiring a squirrel..."
@Richard_Littler I feel the same about all news broadcasts, tbh.
I find it absolutely bizarre that I can be jiving about the kitchen on a Saturday evening, enjoying the funk & soul show on 6Music, to be brought down to earth with a thud with a news bulletin about how shit everything is.
I understand the need before we all had All The News in our pockets, but these days we need an escape.
@Richard_Littler a favourite political podcast of mine invariably ends with some random irrelevant football (or golf, or hockey(!)) guff. I find it hard to believe that even 10% of the audience appreciates it.
Reading about how the toxic American eugenics movement of the 1920s inspired Hitler et al, to put their recommendations into action. And I also realise that some twittering billionaires are again repeating (long debunked) statements made by the blatantly racist, ableist eugenics movement.
A while back, I re-created a graphic that featured in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was a very minor graphic in the film's cornucopia of special effects but I've always liked it. My original version of the BBC 12 logo contained a couple of errors (including the typeface), so I thought it was time to update it...
While I'm recreating fictional (or, in this case, previously fictional) BBC channels, I thought I might as well quickly mock up a vector graphic of 'BBC 3', which appeared (over 30 years before the launch of the real BBC 3) in the 1971 #DoctorWho episode 'The Daemons'.
@Richard_Littler might need a touch of extra darkening around the characters themselves, like a soft harsh dark drop shadow, for that "unsharp mask" type look that high contrast had on old TVs
I've had to take a break from reading a dense volume about the #history of the Roman Empire. More accurate chapter titles might be: Chap. 1: Men Being Dicks. Chap 2: More From Those Men Being Dicks. Chap 3: The Dick Men Fight Other Dick Men. Chap 4: Women's Roles in... Nope. More Men Being Dicks.
I've been thinking about the King Charles portrait for a few days, but I still can't decide whether the painting style reminds me more of old Puffin, Pan Horror, or Mills & Boon cover illustrations. #illustration#art#KingCharles
@Richard_Littler@actuallyautistic I see myself in both sides, though I know less Grateful Dead. And I've gotten to the point where if someone says "write it down" I torture them by actually writing, and forcing them to actually talk to me instead of monologuing.
Don't force a filter on me. Filters mean I miss the gorilla when asked to count the number of times the ball is passed between people. (Which I'm too distracted to actually see anyways)
#NowPlaying Wayne Shorter's precocious Blue Note debut, ably accompanied by Lee Morgan and Coltrane group alumni McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones and Reggie Workman. No wonder Miles Davis snapped up Shorter for his legendary 2nd Great Quintet, which not only adopted his style, but also seemed to "communicate by mental telepathy" after his arrival. #jazz#vinyl#hardbop#modaljazz
Shakespeare, you coward; Hollywood, you timorous poltroon. Keep your Julius Caesar, your Coriolanus, your Titus Andronicus, your Spartacus and Gladiators. I want to hear stories about TARQUIN SUPERBUS. What a name!
"Although I'm no longer with you in person, my darling, I love you so much. I remember the day we met as clearly as if... You can now make purchases in Bitcoin; visit our storefront now... it were yesterday. The yellow dress you wore was so... Get 10% off the new Apple iPad. Say 'PADOFFER' after this memory..." #AI#dystopia
That Beatles #doctorwho episode: A flamboyant supervillain in boots steals the power of music from the world leaving it devastated, and silences the band that could save it. Fortunately, #TheBeatles eventually manage to play the right music that can defeat the villain and... hold on
Spring, ffs. There are songs, even symphonies, glorifying birdsong written by everyone from Paul McCartney & Fleetwood Mac to Frederick Delius, Vaughan Williams, & Messiaen. But, I swear to god, if you're neurodivergent/misophonic, some bird 'song' is the aural equivalent of being waterboarded.
