"Micro Live's Fred Harris considers how daunting computers can be to novice users. He chats to psychologist Professor David Canter, who notes how finding your way around a computer system can be frustrating and unintuitive. Professor Canter visits the Barbican Centre, which proves an excellent metaphor for navigating the endless corridors of unfriendly operating systems."

This week's #ThursDeath is debut LP 'Chasm of Immurement' by Warsaw''s CLAIRVOYANCE. Not sure how I missed this last year, as I loved their EP. This is some KILLER cavernous, churning, CRUSHING death doom with great dynamics and excellent faster/mid-tempo spots too.

Good performance, but the scoreline flatters LFC. Brighton was unlucky and lacked clinically when they were otherwise dangerous.
Ekitike is the obvious MOTM. Jones was also excellent, as was Alisson.
Wirtz and Gravenberch were good early, but diminished as the game dragged on. LFC really need more depth at DM. The lack of rotation there and in some other positions looks to have begun taking a toll.
I’m begging for Chiesa to get played on the right while Salah is off to AFCO…

Hours after ICE agent Charles Exum shot a Chicago woman five times, Greg Bovino offered to extend the agent's scheduled retirement as a reward for his "excellent service in Chicago." Incredible.

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A close-up black-and-white photo of a metal tree grate embedded in a sidewalk. The grate has curved slits and is filled with fallen leaves. Chinese characters “城市” (chéng shì), meaning “city,” are cut into the metal. The design is both functional and artistic, allowing water to reach tree roots while contributing to the urban aesthetic. The mix of natural debris and industrial design reflects city life. 中文替代文本： 这是一张黑白特写照片，展示嵌入人行道的金属树池盖。盖板上有弯曲的缝隙，落叶堆积其中。金属上镂空的“城市”…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo captures a person riding a scooter on a paved urban road. The motion blur suggests speed and movement. The pavement is covered with handwritten phone numbers and text in white chalk, likely informal advertisements. Numbers such as “15267563110” and “19838199289” are visible. Shadows from nearby trees stretch across the road, adding texture and contrast. The scene evokes a gritty, everyday city moment with a mix of motion and static detail…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome photograph shows a brick wall with a warning sign in Chinese. The sign features a triangle with an exclamation mark and reads: “Pay attention to safety. Danger here. Do not approach. Consequences are at your own risk.” A tree with twisted branches stands in the foreground, its silhouette casting shadows on the wall. The image conveys caution and urban tension through stark contrasts and layered textures. 中文替代文本： 这是一张黑白照片，画面中是一堵砖墙，墙上挂有中文警告牌，牌上有一个带感叹号的…

On the right is a decorative double door featuring geometric patterns like spirals, diamonds, and zigzags. The wall shows signs of wear with cracks and peeling paint. Tree shadows fall across the surface, adding depth. The juxtaposition of plain and ornate elements creates visual intrigue. 中文替代文本： 这是一张黑白照片，展示一面有质感的墙壁，分为两个部分。左侧是…

For this week's #MusicWomenWednesday, something fairly brutal and excellent- Glasgow's UNMAKING and their debut EP 'Absolute Immiseration'. This is like, blackened sludge -- some VERY intense shit. Heavy as hell. Vocalist Kay Logan's voice is roaring and screeching.. I keep coming back to this one.

Good Morning #Canada
There are several important Archeology sites in Canada that contribute to our knowledge of how the Americas evolved and the early inhabitants. One site, the Bluefish Caves located in the Yukon, was the source of decades of acrimonious debate because it directly challenged mainstream scientific thinking. Jacques Cinq-Mars, curator of the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec, discovered bones of extinct horses and wooly mammoths bearing marks from human butchering and toolmaking. Radiocarbon test results dated the oldest finds to around 24,000 years ago. This directly challenged established science that humans first reached the Americas some 13,000 years ago, when Asian hunters crossed a now submerged landmass known as Beringia, which joined Siberia to Alaska during the last ice age. What followed was 40 years of dismissal and derision.
This excellent award winning article by Heather Pringle covers this story.
