 My Day Inside America’s Most Hated Car
The Cybertruck is a 7,000-pound Rorschach test.

On the first Sunday of spring, surrounded by row houses and magnolia trees, I came to a horrifying realization: My mom was right. I had been flipped off at least 17 times, called a “motherfucker” (in both English and Spanish), and a “fucking dork.” A woman in a blue sweater stared at me, sighed, and said, “You should be ashamed of yourself.” All of this because I was driving a Tesla Cybertruck.

post: Strange experience I had today, I finished the one month application process for a job, it consisted of 3 interviews for a UI/UX position, the first two were general questions about my experience and how one reacts to criticism, or to phrases like “we have been doing it this way for 30 years”, the last one was an evaluation exercise of the company's system interface (it really looks like a 30 years old software) in all of them I did apparently well. But today the HR person called me and told me that even though the director of technology and the director of project management supported my candidacy, I was not found compatible with the owner of the company, what the hell does that mean? I never talked to the owner. When I asked for details, the nervous person just told me that the previous designer had left for those reasons. I don't know what to think, it was obviously a good position, but possibly I was saved from some crazy megalomaniac boss.

topic_title: recent vinyl finds

post:
 I have been digging through an awful lot of 7"s (+ one 5") recently, a few of which I found on my trip down south a week ago when I picked up the signed Ziggy which is now hanging in my front room.

A great new second hand record shop that's just opened in Northampton.

My mate minded my stall while I had a wander about, I got rid of loads of stuff as I tend to accumulate too much stuff, but I am cheap and ruthless at culling.

Odds and ends that came into my orbit in Bucks/Northants.

I had no idea about this one but it turned out to be a 1978 Xmas oddity by Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye produced by Todd Rundgren.

I'd not heard of this either but liked the name of the band.

Released in 1980 a private pressing from Southampton found in Northampton, the name of this band is Talking Reds.

Also from the same year this debut by a Milton Keynes band, who I remember seeing live several times back in the day.

Schools 7" from 1969 featuring the voice of Eira Heath who worked with Benny Hill and others.

A sweet wee American 5" yellow vinyl sampler for The Yellow Magic Orchestra album Multiples which has a fold-out poster sleeve.

Computer mag flexi freebie from 1988 cunningly titled C-Rap.

At the Milton Keynes record fair there was a dealer with a load of Beatles singles at a fiver a pop which were all pretty tatty tbh, but one caught my eye as it seemed unusual to the others. Turns out to be a ridiculously rare Oriole Contract pressing, distinguished by it's solid centre - 99% copies are push out, but due to the explosion in sales Parlophone called in other pressing plants to cope with demand and these pressings are highly prized (and highly priced) just for having no push-out middle, crackers really. I was aware of it's existence but had never seen one in the wild and the guy who sold it obviously had no idea about it, but hey the cats out of the bag now I have posted about it but good luck finding one!

This charity record by a Scottish beat group issued to raise funds for Aberdeen University was released in 1966 is pretty rare and there were 2 copies of it in the same box! It features a Beatles cover on one side and a great original number on the flip called Hanging Around.

A few of the albums I picked up last weekend, the first 2 original Hollies albums are in superb EX+ but the sweetest surprise was the Harry South album. I had a feeling it might be nice but not quite how nice, it's like VERY nice, a good punt for all 3 at a quid a pop.

topic_title: Ask the UK of the Day

post:
 How much of the "Jacobite rebellion" story is taught in school in the UK?  I don't mean university, I mean grade school, like age 14 and under.  Would you be expected to have heard of "Jacobite" as part of your basic UK history?

Like, I would expect the main bullets points of basic schoolboy british history to be something like:

-The norman conquest
-The transition from unquestionable royal rule to citizens having "rights"
-The Magna Carta
-Charles I bursting into the House of Commons to arrest MPs and then getting beheaded for it
-The acts of Union
-Having America, then America deciding to "see other people" lol
-Some wars and revolutions I'm forgetting, maybe Culloden, maybe not.

I'm asking all this because recently went down a DEEP rabbit hole having to do with Boleskin house on the shores of Loch Ness.  Which led me to Colonel Archibald Fraser, who built modern Boleskin house to annoy someone as part of an inner clan feud.  The cause of that feud having to do with the Jacobites losing the war they fought in 1746, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie.

If you're from Scotland it's probably taught even in grade school.  If you're English or Welsh... I dunno.  Was it taught to you?  Are the words "Jacobite" and "Culloden" foreign to you?

For reference: The Battle of Culloden

 Young People Are Making Up to $36K a Year Renting Their T-Shirts and Speakers
Rental apps like Pickle and Yoodlize are helping millennials and Gen Zers turn their closets and tools into extra cash.

Sundararajan says the popularity of these apps represents a shift toward more responsible consumerism and a decline in the fixation on owning things. “I think Instagram had a lot to do with this. People who grew up seeing other people's vacations on Instagram are more wired to think of value as coming not from what you own but what you experience,” he says. “They’re more likely to say, ‘Well, why should I buy this if I can just sort of get it, experience it, and then give it back?’”

 Lawsuit claims that “Tesla Inc. employs an odometer system that utilizes predictive algorithms, energy consumption metrics, and driver behavior multipliers that manipulate and misrepresent the actual mileage traveled by Tesla vehicles,”

Thereby allowing Tesla to dodge repair responsibilities tied to warranties. A drive that would normally 20 miles is sudden 72.35 miles, making warranty expire much sooner than it should.

Then after the warranty expired, the odometer dropped to normal...

 Ice deports 19 year Venezuelan teen despite reportedly knowing he was not a target:

“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said: ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said: ‘Take him anyway,’” he recalled.

Gutiérrez has no criminal record either in Venezuela or the US, his family said. He also did not have any tattoos, which is a feature that US law enforcement often use to link people to the Tren de Aragua gang – a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela – and to justify their expulsions from the country.

Despite this, Gutiérrez was arrested and later deported to El Salvador, to which he has no ties.

 The NLRB story is wild, so much going on about how fucked DOGE are:

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. The attempts were "near real-time," according to the disclosure. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming.

Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password, according to Berulis."

"DOGE staffers had permission to access the system, but removing data is another matter.

DOGE engineer Jordan Wick had been sharing information about coding projects he was working on to his public account with GitHub titled "NxGenBdoorExtract."

Berulis says someone appeared to be doing something called DNS tunneling to prevent the data exfiltration from being detected. He came to that conclusion, outlined in his disclosure, after he saw a traffic spike in DNS requests parallel to the data being exfiltrated, a spike 1,000 times the normal number of requests."

and then threats to NLRB staff:
"...Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone..."

28 years to the night since I first saw one of the greatest Welsh bands of all time in Northampton. I met the band afterwards too and Euros Childs was such a lovely chap, but you could have probably guessed that. They ended up playing in the bar as there were not enough folk in the venue to fill up the main hall, to be honest the intimacy of that made it even better!

Euros signed my postcard.

 Warfare

Is this the best war film ever made? Maybe.
Saw this in IMAX yesterday. It's stunning, intimate, monotonous, moving, disorientating, bleak, exciting, funny and downright terrifying. The sound design is notably brilliant. We left the theatre in silence, quite literally shell shocked.
For a film that's essentially shot in two rooms it's breathtaking.
Don't expect nice arching narratives, glorious 'Deakins' vistas or personal journeys and heroism. Alex Garland and his co director have made something unique and engaging. It won't be for everyone. It's not an enjoyable 90minutes but it is effecting, insightful and pretty fucking brilliant.

 It's surprising how many people seem to be using AI to write comments on social media. Apparently some people are just lazy AF or lack confidence is their own writing abilities.

The writing style is easy to recognize...lots of cheesy one liners, over-use of comparisons ("this isn't x, it's y"), use of an em dash which the average person is never going to think of adding themselves.

Virtual reality: The widely-quoted media experts who are not what they seem

Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, anyone can generate comment, on any subject, in an instant.

It is a technology that appears to have fuelled a rise in expert commentators who have appeared widely in national newspapers but who are either not real, not what they seem to be or at the very least have CVs which do not justify their wide exposure in major newsbrands.

Press Gazette’s investigation suggests gaming this system has become a major industry which may also be a lucrative one for the brands involved.

 I’ve wrestled with this question for at least a decade now. For me it comes down to this: I love the craft, the concept work, the visualisation and where possible the execution. The more I can do that the happier I am.
 I was promoted some years ago from SrAD to Creative Head which essentially meant I had teams of Art Directors and Copywriters reporting to me. Some of them have 20+ yrs in their positions and are very happy too. 25% of my time was spent on fucking admin bullshit, personal development plans, salary negotiations and a bunch of other shit it hate. There was more meetings about things that weren’t creative . There was also the expectation to get closer to clients, sometimes enjoyable sometime torturous.
Last week I was asked to apply for a CD position and I don’t know if I want it. It’ll mean much less hands on craft and creativity, more strategy, overseeing and involvement with clients. There’s more money but less of the stuff I love.
In the end it all depends on your motivations, but there’s something to be said about the happiness you get from doing what you love.

 With the new OpenAI image tool I feel like it's getting to the point where you can use this stuff for real work...what do people think? It probably has the best image quality but the big step forward is being able to better communicate what you want.

However prompting alone still feels like a clunky way to generate imagery. Eventually you'd hope for more granular controls, layering, reusable objects, direct control of type etc.

comment: I wouldn't feel right using it for actual published work, but not because of the quality per say.

comment: I mean as a step in the process. Let's say you needed to edit an image, it might be getting to the point where it's easier to use AI than Photoshop.

comment: Absolutely as a step. Weeps for illustrators.

comment: Nowadays, if you aren’t integrating it in the process you’re a dinosaur. How damn fast it happened is crazy.

 im a hardcore user of emdashes in my writing.. i always just like the way it looks and found it effective for communicating a thoughtful pause or contrast. I hate that it is such a AI trope and would hate for someone to think that something that i earnestly wrote was actually written by ai. I went into my keyboard auto-replace settings on macos and set it up so when i type an emdash -- it auto converts it into 2 hyphens. :)

its the opposite of how it worked already because it was already converting to an emdash when i typed -- but now when i type -- it keeps it as -- and when i type an emdash it converts it to --.

Now i can keep my writing style and not look like ai... now i just look an idiot who is taking punctuation into his own hands. haha

 I used Keeper for sometime thinking I was going to need the collaborative functionality: https://www.keepersecurity.com/.

BUT realizing I am still more of a lone wolf, I opted to use Apple Passwords which still seems to be a work in progress: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/pa… especially with 3rd party integration (IE Chrome).

Godspeed!

 I remember when Alex Jones was talking about how America could spiral into a dictatorship with Obama seeking a third term. And that George Soros and globalists are buying/ rigging elections and the NWO wants to implant microchips in humans.

And here we are, Trump wants a third term. Elon buying elections and trying to rig them and also wants to implant microchips in humans. But Alex loves both. I guess it doesn't matter to him anymore, because it's not the liberals doing it.

 Language—like evolution—is not static. It bends, shifts, mutates—often for reasons more cultural than logical. The em dash—a subtle pause, a breath of thought, a connective leap—is one of the most human tools we have. It invites ambiguity without confusion, rhythm without rigidity.

If LLMs overuse it, that’s not a reason to retreat—it’s a signal of something essential being surfaced. After all, LLMs aren’t external observers—they’re the sediment of our language, our patterns, our quirks. They are us—filtered, parsed, reassembled—not some alien intrusion.

To abandon the em dash is to surrender a piece of ourselves to a system that merely reflects us. Better to reclaim it—to wield it with intention—than to let its echo replace our voice.
