post:
 Just back from a family trip to mid Wales, visiting caves, parks and buying paintings, fancy cheese and erm, records. After a stop-over at the beautiful Ingleborough Cave in Yorkshire we drove past a small town that had a charity shop on the high street. "Stop if you want" said my very patient wife, so I pulled over to the side of the road with my flashers on and popped in, I saw a box on the floor and  asked the guy on the counter if they had any more, "thousands round the back" he said, "but the bloke that sorts them is away for his lunch". So I left wondering what could have been out the back but we had to continue our journey and not hang about. I drive on about 100 yards and spot a 2nd hand shop on the same street and once again I get my wifes blessing to pull over and check it out. I walk through what looks like a large empty village hall and at the back spot a bloke eating a sandwich, "are you the guy who sorts the records for the charity shop?" I enquired and to my delight he said he was and asked if I'd like to come and have a look at them. He finishes his lunch and takes me round the back of the building to a lock up which he opens the door with a large pair of scissors (?!) inside is an Aladdin's cave of books, records and DVD's. "Help yourself" he says, "big one's a pound little ones 50p, oh but there's also this shed over here" and he takes me over the lane to a second hoard of audio visual media. This was all well and good I thought but I had left the family waiting patiently in the car, so I did one of the fastest record digs I think I've ever done, flipping through boxes in record breaking time and not checking condition just pulling whatever took my eye.
It wasn't the greatest of hauls in 20 minutes and less than half of it is posted below but there were several gems including half a dozen UK stereo ED1 Columbia/Decca/HMV classical albums. Anyway I thought I'd share the tale of their origin as I didn't find anything else on stops in Wrexham and Llangollen and no, I'm not telling you where it is as I may go back to those Yorkshire sheds one day!

A nice pair of LFC singles I'd not seen before, there were a few other footie discs but I already had them.

Old recordings from various movies.

Proggy Jazz from the early 70's.

Dixieland Jazz release from 1968 which I picked up for it's cover and later discovered a sing-a-long tour programme inside, but I was more pleased with the psychedelic MGM Records inner sleeve.

I don't normally pick up box sets but these were too good to leave and were each in beautiful condition.

A nice couple of 50's 10" discs.

When I got home this wee beastie had plopped through my letterbox, a 4" exclusive from my Library of The Occult Records subscription club.

 Nonfungible tokens, once a burgeoning scene for crypto traders and enthusiasts, seem to have lost much of their allure as trading volumes in the once-hot sector have now declined for the fifth straight quarter.

Trading in the digital assets — best known for their collectible cartoon avatars and viral memes — declined to $823 million in the second quarter, down from $4 billion during the prior-year period, according to data compiled by DappRadar. A 19% decrease in total trading volume made 2024 the worst year ever for NFT traders, but this year’s data suggest the downturn is far from over.

In this episode of The Joy of Why, Hertog speaks with co-host Janna Levin about his work and partnership with Hawking. Hertog, now at KU Leuven in Belgium, explains why they rejected the popular multiverse theory and instead explored the idea that the universe’s properties are a result of cosmological natural selection. According to Hertog and Hawking, these properties must be viewed through the lens of human observers, who are also the consequence of natural selection.

post: As a Cronemberg and Dead Ringers fan I was surprised to recently find out it was made into a series. I've watched two episodes and I'm terribly disappointed. I went in thinking that the gender swap was a perfect fit for the story.The movie is claustrophobic, nuanced, perverse, perfect. The series feels like it wants to be Succession in scrubs. I later found out that one of the writers wrote for Succession. Instead of the suffocating intimacy between the twins, we get performative "look at me twins" and endless money-talk satire. The series seems to be trying to cover too many bases in an attempt to seem deep and ends up being shallow. There were a lot of crevices to explore in the movie that were missed in the series.

comment: Is the series called Dead Ringers? I could never really be arsed with Succession for exactly those reasons.

comment: Heathen!Yes, the series is called Dead Ringers (2023).

html_comment: Heathen!<br>Yes, the series is called Dead Ringers (2023).

 The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History

Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

Last week, media accounts of the M.I.T. Media Lab study coincided with a fall in highly valued stocks associated with A.I., including Nvidia, Meta, and Palantir. Correlation isn’t causation, of course, and recent comments by Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, may have played a bigger role in the sell-off, which was surely inevitable at some point, given recent price increases. At a dinner with reporters, Altman said valuations were “insane” and used the term “bubble” three times in fifteen seconds, CNBC reported.

 @Nairn; I think Mr Dobolina was kicked off QBN by JazX during the Llyod years or shortly after.

Either way, we're now at the age where the deaths of peers seeming shocking and unexpected, becomes, over time, a steadily increasing trickle that feels inevitable.

The 5th decade is known as sniper's alley by some. The idea being if you get through your 5th decade intact you're not suffering from anything pressing and could expect another 20 years or so.

I'm 55.

I either have 5 years or up to 25 years. Neither sounds great to me, but I'm still riding BMX and wondering what I'm going to do with my life.

Unless I am struck by a radical epiphany before death comes, I cannot think of a strong reason why I would try to resist its invitation. Life is good but we go when we go and there's no negotiation to be had.

I'm okay with the knowledge of my inevitable demise. It doesn't trouble me. It never has.

 ICEing the U.S. Economy
Mass deportations will hurt more than people realize

We don’t know how many workers will eventually be incarcerated and deported. But undocumented immigrants make up around 5 percent of the U.S. work force. It seems plausible that a significant fraction of those workers will be pushed out, along with a number of legal workers snatched up based, as Trump’s border czar has said, on their physical appearance.

Losing large numbers of workers sounds as if it will be bad for the U.S. economy. In fact, it will be worse than you may think.

 "Selling shit on FB Marketplace is like volunteering for a social experiment run by meth heads.

I listed a microwave for $50. Within 12 seconds my inbox looked like I was giving away crack rocks dipped in Jesus blood. First message “Is this available?” YES, Deborah. It was available 14 seconds ago when you asked, and it’s still available now that you ghosted me like my father.

Then come the bargain hunters. “Will you take $5, a coupon for Jiffy Lube, and a handful of my ex husband’s ashes?” NO, BRENDA. I don’t want your cremation starter kit. I said fifty bucks..
And why does everyone’s pickup plan sound like an FBI sting? Them “I’ll be there at 6.” Me “Cool.” 6 o’clock hits. Nothing. 7 o’clock. “Sorry, my cousin got locked up.” BITCH, what does that have to do with my microwave?

Finally, they show up in a Prius the size of a lunchbox. Six grown adults hop out like it’s Cirque du Soleil.. trying to shove a microwave, two kids, and a pit bull into the backseat. Grandma’s smoking a Virginia Slim, the baby’s chewing on my extension cord. Whole scene looked like an episode of Intervention.

At that point I don’t even want the fucking money. Just take it. Take the microwave, take my soul, take the ghost of every bad decision that led me here.

Marketplace ain’t about selling shit. It’s a psychological test to see how far you’ll go for gas money before you set your house on fire."

 Paypal: German banks apparently blocked payments of billions of euros

The Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that German banks had stopped payments to PayPal. This was triggered by a security problem.

As the SZ reports, several German banks stopped Paypal payments on Monday, possibly amounting to more than ten billion euros. According to the report, the banks had noticed that "many millions of direct debits" had been received from PayPal in the previous week, but these had suspicious or fraudulent characteristics. Paypal has more than 30 million customers in Germany whose payments are debited by Paypal from stored bank accounts or credit cards.

The 64-year-old, originally from Crumpsall in Greater Manchester, had a long-held fascination with pumped-up physiques, which led to notoriety and repeated brushes with the law.

In 2003, he was jailed for six years after being convicted of harassing 15 well-muscled males.

I'm finding it baffling in terms of how bad it is, then amazing in the next moment, then dogshit in the next... Like this fight between an Alien in ep 3 was just so so so clunky n awkward. And even the small things... like why try be clever with the music.... Just go all out Jerry Goldsmith and Vangelis.... the metal dad rock shit isn't working as much as I love Tool...  With a VHS filter, it's not far off from being a throwaway shitty 90s TV show....

Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing, but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between what I find is pleasing, and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind if I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do

Lost inside adorable illusion
And I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using
Please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

post:
 How about just “no”.

No billion dollar funding for ICE, no suing Harvard, no dismantling the EPA, no going after the Smithsonian, no $200 million dollar Ballroom, no BBB, no plane gifts.

Millions of people let this happen because they don’t understand pronouns and trans people and are angry anytime someone goes Woke or Fox tells them Mamdani will take away their rights.

Is it because of the internet, everyone can publicly complain about not do anything? (Like me here)

What happened to America? What happened to checks and balances.

Everything Trump does you can say “imagine if Obama had done that” and it would have never happened.

How is this idiot and his narcissistic followers allowed to do everything they’re doing?

"Ssense is filing for bankruptcy protection after what it described as an attempt by lenders to force a sale of the company, the Montreal-based e-tailer told employees in a letter reviewed by The Business of Fashion."

"Atallah attributed Ssense’s bankruptcy to the Trump administration’s trade policies, which have imposed 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada. The closure of the “de minimus” exemption, which allowed packages worth less than $800 to enter the US duty free, came as a “surprise” to Ssense and directly contributed to its CCAA application. The change to de minimis is scheduled to go into effect on Friday."

 Congress Gives ICE More Money Than It Could Have Ever Imagined
It’s impossible to overstate how much power ICE just got from Trump’s budget.

The bill allocates about $150 billion to immigration enforcement through 2029. ICE will receive about $75 billion from that total sum, more funding than any other law enforcement agency in the federal government, according to the American Immigration Council, or AIC.*

 My take, I know you care deeply:

Alien: the Original. Chef's kiss.

Aliens: Great classic action flick. Amazing atmosphere.

Alien 3: The disliked, but underrated one IMO.

Alien Resurrection: I still very much dig it. It adds a dash of Fifth Element vibes in the mix, that I personally find works very well, but most people disagree. Especially that Ripley/Alien hybrid element is fun.

I actually liked Prometheus, although I know it has problems.

From there on, for me personally: meh after meh. It's always the same.

 Culinary vibes ;)

Continuing with my "reborn fixation" with fruit, it's the season for plums, nectarines, peaches, and pears.

Between that and the surplus fruit from the garden, which my father and a friend give us from time to time, there's no way I can eat fat for my body!

comment: You want to eat fat so it absorbs all those natural sugars. I think a peach has twice the daily limit. Diabetes is real.

comment: you don't get diabetes from eating fruit. Added sugars and natural sugars are entirely different.

 Was at a week long painting festival in Denmark recently, met a few childhood heroes, listened to a talk by a 70 year old New York subway legend and managed a couple of smaller collaborative paintings with some really good folk.
Always come back so inspired from there, it's a unique place.

 Aug 17: Wife complains of back pain and starts vomiting later that night.

Aug 18: Bring wife first to Urgent Care, then ER for scan of possible kidney stones. Scan comes back showing a 20cm/8in. tumor on her ovary.

We immediately start talking to doctors and oncologists to find out what to do and how quickly we can get it done. We're put in touch with a gyno oncologist who will perform the surgery, but she finds out about my wife's past history with colon cancer. She had a section of her colon removed in 2018 and no cancer signs since then. But this doctor is pretty sure that this new tumor is related and so she throws out the possibility that this is metastatic (Stage 4) colon cancer. Our heads are both spinning, and the awful thoughts of what the future could possibly look like start to sink in and scare the shit out of us. We get another upper chest scan to see if there are any signs of cancer and thankfully there were none. The oncologist tells us that they won't know if the tumor is benign or malignant until they perform the procedure and send a sample to pathology.

Aug 26-28: Work trip to Charlotte where I come down with an insane stomach bug and have to sh*t my brains out oh about every 37 minutes. Including on an airplane - sorry fellow passengers.

Aug 29: I bring my wife to the hospital for a hysterectomy then come home to be with our boys. Surgery is successful, but Doctor tells me that the tumor ruptured a few days prior and she found "a gelatinous gunk" spread all over her abdomen which makes testing a little more time consuming - normally they can get an answer in about 20 minutes during the procedure. Removed the uterus and appendix for good measure.

Aug 31: My wife comes home from hospital and is recovering nicely, walking around slowly and sleeping a lot.

Sept 1: Laying in bed with my wife we get an update to her medical chart that no malignant cells were detected! Tears of joy and relief fill our eyes.
We will follow up with the doctor for next steps.

Life is beautiful my friends. And health is wealth.

comment: So sorry to hear all of this and relieved she is doing well and recovering, and that there is no cancer. :)

comment: Great to hear - what a rollercoaster. My mum got the all clear recently after having a growth removed. What a load off!

comment: I teared up at the end :) That was a stressful read (meaning: I know how stressful medical shit can get)... Happy things are looking up, man!! <3

topic_title: America is Fucked

post:
 An underrated negative of American culture is how people are now being asked to tip everywhere on top of the ridiculous levels of inflation. IDK if most Americans realize it's not like this everywhere in the world.

It feels like a way for corporations to offload more costs onto consumers rather than actually paying their workers a decent wage.

comment: Trump is also encouraging this with the "no tax on tips" thing he passed

comment: You don't tip at all in most countries.

html_comment: You don't tip at all in most countries.

comment: graf making up bullshit, he’s never been to the US and probably never will

comment: to be clear graf, they don’t block anything, and people aren’t paying 30%

comment: Maybe not in this economy mono, but it's not unheard of by any means, at least for food & cocktail service.

comment: Anyone that is asking for a tip is making min or just over min wage. They probably need the extra 75 cents added to an ice cream...

comment: Gratuity is a virtue. Being a chintzy fuck is not.

comment: You asked "IDK if most Americans realize it's not like this everywhere in the world." Do you know why it's like that? LOOOL? They don't require tips!

comment: Maybe half of yous never left the country so yeah it's a cultural thing

comment: Lol @canoe

html_comment: Lol @canoe

comment: Companies could just pay their workers more. Instead of making other workers chip in to make up the difference.

comment: For a long time it was limited to waiters and that justifies paying them less than minimum wage.

comment: Then it seems like during the pandemic it was expanded to people working at Starbucks and other places like that.

comment: On one hand it's nice to give people a tip but who is this ultimately benefiting?

comment: Hospitality is very well paid here in Spain; the shifts are very long, but it's not the kind of job where the worker needs a tip to earn a good salary.
