I made another weird little comic thing, hopeful and a little bittersweet, about conservation after the apocalypse. A topic near and dear to my heart, Lord knows.Your favourite and mine Wombat/Kingfisher Ursula Vernon has released a short comic about the post-apocalypse on Twitter, using AI generated art.

The eye-catching victory of AlphaZero, the artificial-intelligence program that taught itself to play chess, over the No 1 computer engine Stockfish, has evoked comparisons with human legends.

This video critiques memes. It doesn't aim at judging which memes are based and which are cringe, nor at declaring this or that meme to be dead, but rather at explaining and critiquing the concept of the meme, starting with the original meaning as Richard Dawkins defined it.

Zero Books Manifesto:

The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

Zero Books aims to work against this trend.

Is Mark Fisher’s “capitalist realism” this generation’s “end of history thesis”? For nearly thirty years Francis Fukuyama’s contention that “Western liberal democracy” represents “the end point of mankind’s ideological evolution” has measured the ebb and flow of history.

What even is theory-fiction? In short, it is the intersection of theory and fiction, and also the “dissolution of the opposition itself” (Fisher 1999, p 156).

TASBot takes the Celeste All Red Berries train and discovers CovertMuffin blocks (with downtime edited out) by euni, fishmcmuffins, and kilaye, joined on the couch by TGH, buhbai, Kevin from PowerUp Audio, and dwangoAC at the SGDQ 2019 TAS block. This TAS is incredible, complete with a massive chain of red berries following Madeline up the mountain.

GDQ set the donation incentive to $175k to see this game and viewers responded resoundingly, filling the donation incentive with plenty of time to spare. This Celeste All Red Berries TAS represents over 2,000 hours of effort spearheaded by euni with help from fishmcmuffins and kilaye. This TAS was made with tools pioneered by DevilSquirrel and extended over time by others.

The commentary on this run is some of the best at any GDQ, with frequent asides from TGH on realtime viability and developer commentary right on the couch from Kevin who helped in the creation of the game. This run even includes a surprise beyond the jawdropping; unbeknownst to many, Kevin from PowerUp Audio secretly altered the sound played by his namesake blocks to spread some FWAHAHA love.

Note: During the event a minor startup issue occurred which required restarting the run; that section has been edited out of the video. Additionally, the GDQ sound board crashed during the run causing 10 seconds of lost audio after which the run was paused until the issue could be resolved. The downtime during that issue was also edited. The run is otherwise unbroken as evidenced by the countdown timer and everything presented is a legitimate playthrough; the tools used to create this TAS do not alter gameplay in any way and this represents the fastest possible way to navigate the game based on how the game is written. There is no cheating on display here, only hours of dedication by the TAS authors to determine the fastest possible route through the game while collecting every single Red Berry in the game.

This is a bucket of chum. Chum is decomposing fish matter that elicits a purely neurological brain stem response in its target consumer: larger fish, like sharks.

Mark Fisher is a writer, teacher and theorist living in Suffolk, England. His k-punk blog has been a well respected resource for cultural analysis on the web since its launch in 2003. In 2009, he published his first book, 'Capitalist Realism', where he explores the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it. In it, Fisher analyses the role of the media, the education system, the link between Neoliberalism and brain chemistry, and what he calls business ontology 'in a world in which internment camps and franchise coffee bars co-exist.'

I am honestly not sure whether fish have any concept of bees. I am equally unsure whether bees have any concept of fish. I am even more unsure whether bees and fish could be friends, if they knew that the other existed. But thanks to robots, it turns out that the answer is definitely yes.

At first glance, the hagfish—a sinuous, tubular animal with pink-grey skin and a paddle-shaped tail—looks very much like an eel. Naturalists can tell the two apart because hagfish, unlike other fish, lack backbones (and, also, jaws). For everyone else, there’s an even easier method.

Mark Fisher was a writer and academic from the English Midlands who, in the early two-thousands, felt at odds with many of the institutions around him.

NOTE 1: The original piece talked about Cultural Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I retracted the language of the proposal, because of appropriate criticism, since I realized it might be too strong to use at the moment. But the core theoretical exploration hasn’t changed.

In 1815, 15 years before he made his most famous print, The Great Wave, Hokusai published three volumes of erotic art. In one of them there is a woodcut print known in English as ‘The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife’ and in Japanese as ‘Tako to ama’, ‘Octopus and Shell Diver’.
