Solstice Sundial: This sundial was constructed in 1980 by Jean Salins in south-eastern France. At a certain time of year the sunlight streams through openings to spell the word SOLSTICE. It also does this at the equinoxes - clever! 📷 Andy B More: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=31736
Ian McConnell's "Bangladesh" has been stuck in my head for three days, so I did the only reasonable thing: I wrote a #chiptune cover of it on my Game Boy.

Beck's Odelay turns 30 years old today! An absolute masterpiece from Beck, the Dust Brothers, and Mario C. One of my favorite albums of all time.

Anyways, here's a mashup ep of Beck X 100 Gecs. https://thegordonbombay.bandcamp.com/album/10000-becks-100-gecs-odelay #beck

Dälek's new album is fantastic. It's still the same dark, gritty, experimental hip-hop they've always made, but it feels a little more accessible this time around.

It's like they pushed their sound right to the edge and then polished it back into something slightly more traditional. I mean that as a compliment. https://dalek.bandcamp.com/album/brilliance-of-a-falling-moon #hiphop #dalek

Quick portrait of Betty Galagos, Mexican National Yo-Yo Champion and World Yo-Yo Contest Women's Division Champion.

I drew this with Pilot Parallel pens, experimenting with touching the nibs of two pens together to create color gradients. A neat idea with mixed results. (I made a pun!) #yoyo

@pluralistic : The true risk of AI to your job isn't: "an AI will do your job." It's: "an AI salesman will exploit your boss's infinite horniness for replacing mouthy workers with pliable machines to sell him a chatbot that can't do your job, and then your boss will fire you and replace you with that inept, defective chatbot."

Now that the song is going viral, fans are replacing the original lyrics with their own oddly specific list of things they wish their lovers would do for them.

Ian McConnell's "Bangladesh" is a wickedly catchy and funny song about oddly specific things his lover has never done for him... like poisoning the mojitos of his enemies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adojY1SI-70
