Well, it is "For You" then, isn't it? Not "Here's what you want" but "here's what the algorithm has chosen For You". For You: a bespoke, tailored, never-ending torrent of content that we have picked out based on the relentless automated psychoanalysis we carry out every second of ever day based on every swipe, zoom and key press to keep you outraged, distracted and malleable with the absolute bare minimum of entertainment and dopamine. Bon appetit.

This is great! It's been frankly hard work avoiding using Meta, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads and all of Zuckerberg's other merciless surveillance and manipulation systems, and now I don't have to worry about avoiding it any more because I don't need to give deliberate consent at all, I only need to be within range of someone who has given unwitting consent on my behalf. And inside my own home when I'm my most unguarded and sincere, believing I'm only sharing my thoughts with the people present. What a win!

Hi guys! Welcome back. So today we're going to see if we can trigger that unsigned integer underflow bug that some of you have been talking about. As you can see here I've already got an Iberia Airbus A380 heading perfectly due West towards Null Island and, thanks to the telemetry bug we found last week that still hasn't been patched we've got it showing as a two-seater Cessna so the occupation rate is 15000% so what were going to do is get the latitude, longitude and altitude to all cross zero at the same time...

My first words were "boba" and "kiki" but my parents were both abstract two-dimensional shapes so that might have affected things.

Haha, well you know what they say about $hometown - if you don't like the weather, wait an hour! Haha!

I always updoot 6music. Well-managed ABC playlist, informed DJs who get to pick their own tracks, plenty of background and relevant conversation (Artist in Residence, Freak Zone, Round Table, etc), and because it's the BBC there's no adverts, no fucking obnoxious competitions, and no desperate attempts at listener engagement.

If you ever get a chance to go to the 6 Music Festival; do it.

Better to shower shit than shit showers.

Edit: fuck, I should have said "better to shit in the shower than shower in the shit", that would have been way better.

Gotta stomp those spicy nuggets away. Then wash your shit-caked feet.

These days if you want to stand out you need to send it on Bee Paper.

Honestly, the level of doublethink on display by some Apple fans is impressive normally but this is amazing. Apple "defeats" RAM prices by making you pay for something several times over while not actually getting to own it? Fucking bootlickers.
