Dave Martin | Sports + stupidity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This isn’t content. It’s conversation. Live. FAFO is two things – Live streams from real events: sports, music, culture and technology, from wherever and whenever the atmosphere is doing its thing. And live workflows tied to the moment: using the same kind of cultural moments to explore how tools like Copilot can help with analysis, performance evaluation, strategy, creative thinking, decision-making or…
If someone pisses you off or disappoints you, that is not an issue of them purposely doing things because you are easy to take advantage of, you are stupid or that you don’t deserve respect. People doing things to upset us is decided by us. If someone disappoints us, it’s not that they have done something that directly hurt us, it’s…
If you just come out and say ‘I don’t care’ about something, without anyone asking (as opposed to someone asking ‘Do you care about…?’, it’s possible that you actually do care. And a lot. The actually don’t care or worry about are the things we don’t even think about. And definitely not the things that make us think ‘I don’t…
Once upon a time, The Bongo Brothers went wandering the desert, in desperate search for the new sound. Well, it was once upon a time in an episode of The Mighty Boosh. And this is how it all went down. And while Spida Dijon is a brash, young and wild ‘typical’ drummer, Rudi Vandisarzio is a calm, measured and wise psychedelic…
Everything must end. So although it may not be healthy to constantly think ‘This is going to end. This is going to end. This is going to end.’ During every moment of a friendship, relationship, holiday etc., it’s healthy to at least be aware of it from the start. Does saying ‘My…’ before anything (or everything) in your life subconsciously…
Is it possible to not get attached to anything? Because nothing is actually yours. Your house, your car, your lifestyle, your marriage, your dog, your possessions, they’re not yours. They can easily be removed from your life in ways you have no control over (maybe even suddenly without warning). Oh okay. So there is one thing. If you say something’s yours,…
There’s a lot of reasons Robert California is one of the greatest fictional characters there ever was and here’s another one. When two people start talking about personal relationship shit in front of him, they start to feel bad for him and pitifully tell him, ‘I’m sorry this must make you uncomfortable’. To which he replies: I am never uncomfortable.…
Do you have something you can’t imagine losing? Or something that you can’t afford to lose? Well that things owns you. You’re its bitch. I would hate to lose my laptop, mostly because I use it to write and watch stuff. So I would probably go and get a new one. I would also hate to move from the Sunshine…
There’s a pair of magpies who came outside my window every few mornings. And they sound like a piece of shit (pretty much like this). CRAW-CRAW-CRAW-CRAW-CRAW… Fucking SHUT UP. It starts around 5am, directly outside the window and it doesn’t stop. And the other morning it was so fucked I chucked the broom at them. And it might be alright if…
Imagine losing your job, your partner of husband or wife leaving you, getting a terminal illness, a burglar breaking in and stealing all your stuff when you’re out, or your dog or cat suddenly getting hit by car… The most severe part of the impact we feel when we lose someone or something in our life comes from us either…
This is a I-don’t-know-how-many-yet part longform examination of insults (and getting offended)… Here’s Part 1: The philosophy of: Stuff they teach kids (Sticks and stones may break my bones…) Part 2: Words are nothing but a series of letters arranged in a certain order to make a certain sound that comes out of the face hole. and Part 3: If you’re insulted by…
