The sun sets behind a slanted tree with bluebells and new leaves below. Framed by two straight bare trees.

The day ended in the same way it began: in a woodland surrounded by bluebells :)

A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: โ€œWhen simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.โ€

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

So great to see the streaming tide begin to turn! For the labels, CDs are WAAAAAY cheaper to pack & post. *AND* (well-kept secret shared by every producer I know:) despite the vogue, they do in fact sound better than vinyl, *AND* they totally, irrevocably b-e-l-o-n-g to you forever, ad-free.....

Late April. Or, as bluebells prefer to call it, "party season".

Classics: endless meditative music and art with Brian Eno : Reflection The latest entry in our classic iPhone and iPad app series felt like having a tiny Brian Eno living inside your device.

I chatted with Peter Chilvers about how (and why) he and Brian Eno created generative art and music app Reflection. www.tapsmart.com/features/cla...

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

a shoulders-up headshot of an ancient chinese crested. his body is mostly hairless, with thin wisps of white. but the fur of his face and ears is forming an enormous heart shape from having been blown out by a fan. heโ€™s rocking the salt-and-pepper look of an ambitious Helena Bonham Carter role, with more black along his neck and a bold gray streak atop his noggin and along the edges of his ears. his left eye is one big cloudy blue cataract.

This is Ricky. He was a runner-up in a pet photographer's "My Fabulous Weirdo" competition. Unfortunately when you are this fabulous, it can be very hard for the weird to shine through. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: portraitsofdogs)

Fascinating always - how we don't see what's there, and how we see what isn't there at all. Explains a lot eh.

For those who have never heard it, Michael Pementel articulates so well why it's such a powerful, immersive work "The abstract ambient nature of the music allows for no concrete form....The Disintegration Loops floods the listener with feeling."

"Akal Akal." Quite literally no one knows who sang it. Bill Laswell put it on a compilation called "African Futurism," said it was unknown artists. Hunee, a DJ, put it on a compilation but credited "African Futurism" as the artist. I want to know who made it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn9J...

because CD players, walkmans, and VCRs usually fucking worked and did precisely what was asked of them without relogging in and syncing and re-entering passwords and getting confirmation codes and doing 2FA with out TV and phone and clicking a fake "remember me" box that's fucking why

HERE YOU GO: "Traditional experiments on the cognitive value of the arts tend to focus on more intensive, ongoing programs, like arts education for kids. But the new findings suggest that even something quick can make a difference. And they can happen in minds already long developed."

Here are the contents of an elite Minoan burial on the island of Aegina. They date to between 1850-1550BC and show the skill, delicacy & beauty of Minoan craftsmanship. The jewellery is of the very finest quality - dazzling & breathtaking in equal measure.
