Podcast-Empfehlung: Nach der Idee des Studio d'Essai in Paris und dem Studio für Elektronische Musik in Köln startete die BBC in den späten 1950ern den Radiophonic Workshop, um Elektronik mit Musik zu verbinden. Bekanntest Produktion dürfte die Sound- und Musikwelt der BBC-Serie Dr. Who sein. Bei Twenty Thousand Hertz gibt es eine schöne Podcastfolge über die Entstehung und das Wirken des BBC Radiophonic Workshop, enjoy:

Doctor Who & The BBC Radiophonic Workshop — Twenty Thousand Hertz - The stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.
What does a time machine sound like? Or a magic carpet? For the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, that was just another day at the office. For 40 years, this oddball collective of engineers and composers pushed the boundaries of sound design, crafting eerie atmospheres, quirky jingles, and the iconic audio

FBI is investigating doctor who allegedly supplied pain medication to late Colts owner Jim Irsay, per report

The latest info we have on the timeline of the murder of Renee Good is that she still had a weak pulse when city emergency workers first reached her. She still had a weak pulse.
Before emergency workers arrived, a doctor on the scene attempted to render first aid. ICE pointed their guns at the doctor and forced them back.
It is possible — we can never know, of course — but it is possible that doctor could have saved Good’s life. The ICE agents who forced back that doctor should also face charges. In a just world….

Rob Shaw is solidifying his position as the new Dean of Right Wing, anti-Worker Legislative Reporters in British Columbia.
With these gems, it's incredible that he has an education or goes to a doctor at all…
"The BCTF is typically one of the most militant unions, and quickly prone to job action.”
BCTF Strikes since 2000:
2005
2014
phew! almost got to three!
Remember that this was at the time of a union-busting BC Liberal government that had to go to the Supreme Court of Canada to get told that they ripped up union contracts unconstitutionally and were *forced* to compensate many years later.
"The ratification is a win for a New Democrat government. And extraordinarily expensive for taxpayers, too."
“extraordinarily expensive. Really? How is a wage increase that is *barely* in line with inflation after literally decades of below-inflation increases, “extraordinary”? I'll wait.
"Teachers can thank the BCGEU for turning what was an initial 3.5 per cent wage offer over two years by government, into a more than 12 per cent increase over four that is now forming the baseline for all other union deals."
Indeed! For those who can do math, that means 3% each of 4 years instead of 3.5 over two. But thanks Rob for making it seem like 4 times more!
Thanks BCGEU members for your solidarity and perceverence! I have been on strike. It sucks HARD. But it was worth it and it works.
"The ratification by the BCTF means roughly half of the 450,000 public sector employees now have deals of some sort with the province. Two majors left on the table are nurses and doctors.”
Oh no! Let’s not pay doctors and nurses! Surely they'll stay regardless in our incredibly overworked and under resourced healthcare system!
Like how does Mr Shaw believe we are to stay competitive or attract people. Or is he just not worried about getting sick….
"The skyrocketing deficit has the NDP government inking sweetheart deals with organized labour on the one hand, while pledging to cut public sector jobs with the other.”
Ya, we could have kept those public sector jobs if it weren't for fools like you who demanded governments cut taxes over the past 20 years instead of reasonable rises to... again…keep up with inflation and retain service!
It is a crappy balancing act that the NDP is doing and I do not like a lot of it. At the same time as Mr. Shaw complains about "sweetheart deals" for people in post-secondary, I am seeing historic cuts in that same sector. It's a blood bath actually. So the potential wage increases are going to be welcome, but feel pretty hollow as so many collegues have left.
Rob Shaw would have had us all lose our jobs and take a pay cut at the next one for good measure.
Thanks but no thanks Rob, your world view sucks.

#DearLazyWeb: A while back someone posted a screen cap of Google getting confused between Voyager's "The Doctor" and "Doctor Who."
I'm writing something up about LLMs and I'd really like to reference it. I'm gonna go through my boosts and hope I can find it, but could anyone with it handy save me a few hours of data spelunking?
Edit: @… found it. Awesome. lol!

Unpopular opinion, but I think that those newly-rediscovered episodes of Doctor Who should have been destroyed, unwatched, immediately. Any other action is a tacit endorsement of piracy.
