David Bowie in 1999 - predictions about the internet

@TheBreadmonkey he was so ahead of his peers, his last will and testament is supposed to be a real gem on how he forsaw how his image and IP could be exploited. i would love to take a gander at what he worked out with his lawyers, cuz i remember rumors about it; that he even forsaw the deepfake fuckery we see now.

at the time of this interview, he had just released “am afraid of Americans” and, truly, he was.

@TheBreadmonkey

Replace "the internet" with "the Breadmonkeys Mastodon account" and it still makes sense.

@TwoClownsEating @TheBreadmonkey Mat - we're just looking at the tip of the iceberg. In time Ben and all of society will be sympatico

@TwoClownsEating I still think we have a strong case for renaming Mastodon, "Mastoben", TBH

@TheBreadmonkey

@ElHadjiMurad @TheBreadmonkey

That's his OnlyFans account name.

@TwoClownsEating Ah, I thought it was "Mastobend" which explains why I couldn't find it.
Well, I mean, it explains why I wouldn't have found it if I had been looking which I wasn't. @TheBreadmonkey

@ElHadjiMurad @TheBreadmonkey

Wishful searching. I'm not judging.

@TheBreadmonkey There’s a starman waiting in the sky. He’d like to come and meet us, but he thinks he’ll blow our mind.
@TheBreadmonkey the other thing I like about this video is that it shows up the smug skepticism of Paxman and his ilk for the shallow, vain intellectual parlour trick that it us

@TheBreadmonkey

Wow. Totally on the ball about it...

I'm now watching the full interview, and may do nothing but watch Bowie videos today.

I absolutely MUST have his shirt though! It's amazing!
