Plagiarism and You(Tube)

Tour de force from hbomberguy on Plagiarism and James Somerton - who by all accounts seems like a real piece of shit. I'm not big into the YouTube scene at all, but it's 3hrs long and well executed. Make sure you stay for the conclusion and his take on LLMs.

I suffered an industrial amount of advertising to see it through, and you can count me a fan - it's that good. I'm off to go get marketed some air-scented water and watch more 🦄

Integrated Tech Solutions: Aesop Rock

For the better part of three decades, Aesop Rock has used the syntax of the moment to pinpoint the fault lines in that moment’s supposedly solid foundation. With his tenth album, Integrated Tech Solutions, Aes wields insidious corporatespeak as a tool to pry that parasitic worldview away from the parts of life that truly matter.

The skateboarding, abstract hip hop prophet strikes again. You can grab FLACs direct.

The Design Museum: Skateboard

Skateboard chronicles the history of skateboard design from the 1950s to the present day, from homemade, humble beginnings to today’s professional and technologically advanced models. Curated and designed by author, designer and skater Jonathan Olivares, this is the first UK exhibition to explore the evolution of skateboard design in such detail, developed in partnership with Converse. The exhibition showcases innovative skateboards and components and track how skateboarders have taken over sidewalks, swimming pools and skate parks designing new boards to suit their performance, style and surroundings.

Around 90 rare and unique boards are on display, alongside over 100 other objects, including hardware such as wheels and tucks, safety equipment, VHS tapes, DVDs, magazines and ephemera. Together they show skateboard’s technical developments and its evolving social acceptance.

Explore a range of contemporary boards alongside 1950s homemade skateboards from California – Laura Thornhill’s Logan Earth Ski 1970s pro model, Tony Hawk’s first ever professional model skateboard, Sky Brown's first pro model and the Sky Brown x Skateistan Almost deck.

Dope.
