Magic Sam was really among the greatest who ever played blues guitar. And I feel like he'd still be almost unknown today if it wasn't for the jaw-dropping video on Youtube of him ripping through that insane boogie.

I totally get the necessity of alt text for images. But I still resent the fact that I’m giving AI image generators the absolute optimum training data.

I took my camera to my dad’s yesterday to get some portraits of this wildly eccentric tortie known as The Mouse. This demure pose rather conceals her deeply unhinged character. #photography #cats

The infuriating double-whammy of moral panics is that they’re deeply disconnected from the facts but the mainstream press encourages, rather than corrects them, for engagement. It’s been like that throughout my life. Satanic panic. Vaccines. You name it.
