    What is the UN for?

    Seriously, it is anything other than a paper tiger these days? It just seems completely toothless given that UNSC permanent members with opposing geopolitical aims can simply veto resolutions they don't like. And even when resolutions are passed, countries with friends in high places routinely...

    What is "populism" and why is it bad?

    Serious question. It's a word that gets thrown around an awful lot these days, but it's hard to get any real feel for what it actually means, beyond the fact that it's usually used pejoratively. At its most basic it just means appealing to large numbers of people, doesn't it? In which case, a...

    What are you making?

    Not writing, not music. Not food, there's already a thread for that. I'm talking tangible art, practical objects, garments, beer, whatever. If anyone here is into mechanical/electronic projects, Raspberry Pi and stuff like that (I get the impression this might be HMGovt's bag) that can go in...

    Next-level bugfuck conspiralunacy - coming to a billboard near you!

    OK, what the fuck is all this about: Anyone seen one of these? It just sounds utterly nuts. I've been conditioned into assuming things like this are either 'viral' ad campaigns for films, TV shows, video games or whatever, attempts at conceptual art or shit po-mo Banksy-esque 'jokes'. But in...

    CITY OF THE RED NIGHT II - LONDON - 13/05

    Worthwhile tech blogs?

    I have a request for the resident Dissensus technology wonks - well, HMGovt basically, but also anyone else whose interests lie in a similar direction - which is: what good tech blogs are there? It's just I've got an interview on Friday for a job at a company that invents things, and something...

    How can I make a living from doing something reasonably interesting?

    Serious question. "It's basically impossible unless you're either interesting in boring things or outrageously lucky" is an acceptable answer, although one that's already occurred to me, obviously.

    When 'should' you have been born, considering the music you love the most?

    Trigger warning: silly hypothetical thread. Alloooow it. In roughly what year 'should' you have been born to make the most of the period/scene/genre of music you like the most? Would you opt for 1950, so as to have been 17 in the original Summer of Love? Or skip two decades and be that age in...

    CITY OF THE RED NIGHT - Oxford - 4 September

    Dreaming spires are wreathed in the Big Smoke as DJs Lizatron (a.k.a. Elizaveta Vasilieva) and Idle Rich head out west to join forces with Sid Viscous (a.k.a. Oliver Harris) and Matthias Fletcher for a night of electronic excess and psychedelic thrills. Liza and Rich have played venues as far...

    Noel Edmonds is as mad as a spoon

    I suspect Edmonds is merely the human mouthpiece for Mister Blobby, who came to Earth to lead our species into the next stage in our spiritual evolution. (He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds.)

    Google's neural networks see things that aren't there - awesome computer acid art

    UK govt bans all drugs that exist or could conceivable ever exist

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32919712 So. I don't imagine there'll be much wailing and gnashing of teeth about this around these parts, exactly, because let's face it, none of these products is a patch on the traditional drugs that have been illegal for decades, and some of them are...
