4 Screenshots from the movie "The Fog" (1980): First, an older man in a sailor's cap sits by a campfire on a beach at night, telling a story to children seated around the fire; subtitle reads, "One hundred years ago, on the 21st of April...". Second, the same scene continues with the fire casting dramatic shadows on the storyteller’s face and subtitle reads, "out on the waters around Spivey Point...". Third, the fire burns brightly in the center as the man gestures while speaking; subtitle reads, "a small clipper ship drew toward land." Fourth, a close-up of the man’s face illuminated by the firelight as he stares intensely; subtitle reads, "Suddenly, out of the night, the fog rolled in."

Apr 21st 1880 - On this foggy night the Elizabeth Dane steered off course and crashed into rocks. 100 years later the crew returned.

7.5 glorious minutes that build and build and then....just drift away.
But of course Neil Young's solo is still out there travelling through space like Voyager 1.

I remember all the big media studies textbooks in the early nineties being obsessed with the TV presentation of American wrestling. Interesting, I thought, but weirdly niche. Cut to today, where every aspect of society operates like American wrestling.

Matt Goodwin posting on twitter having a go at Waterstones saying… “Hey @Waterstones. Where's Suicide of a Nation? Weird how the No.1 paperback in Britain never happens to be on display…” Not realising he’s standing in front of hardback books.

As an author who also happens to have a book in @waterstones.bsky.social, I at least know the difference between paperback and hardback books, which he’s standing in front of…

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

'Slow' by MBV is so filthy it needs flushing down the toilet.

Nowadays we'd get three films about how learning to surf made the Joker man all SAD

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

The great thing about my CD player is that if I play an Adam Ant song on it, it doesn't spend the rest of the week telling me I want to listen to Kajagoogoo or showing me adverts for pirate shirts.

I've ranted about LLM "AI" elsewhere, and in replies, but to reiterate it in a thread that I can pin now:

One of the fundamentals of computer science is "Garbage In, Garbage Out". I learned this as a child, learning to program, over 40 years ago.

You cannot put bad data in, and get good data out.
