Two weeks ago I admitted the terrible secret of my birth, and the disco banger that heralded it, which has led to wanting to hear your:
Birthday Number Ones
We weren't cruel though, and allowed you to pick from tracks that have attained the summit of Mount Pop on any of your birthdays, be they singles, or from albums. And there are some CRACKERS in the pile.

Horticulture
We realise that you lot don't look like your average horti-bleedin-culturalists, but you surely know some songs about plants and trees and that. And no weed-shaming on our watch! Remember, a weed is just a plant you didn't grow on purpose!

"I Know the Blasphemy of the Synagogue of Satan" - Jesus
[LINK] https://youtu.be/o_7c82i0E70
"Jesus called them "the synagogue of Satan." But who were they, and what had they done?"
"The phrase appears only twice in the Bible, in the letters to Smyrna and Philadelphia in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Today it gets quoted everywhere, and people build some very large conclusions on it. In this video, we investigate the phrase using the CAAP method (Context, Author, Audience, Purpose), digging into first-century Smyrna, Rome's imperial cult, the Greek words behind the text, and the martyrdom of Polycarp, to find out who Jesus was actually talking about and what's been done with his words since."
Some 'crusaders' mis-use the Bible as a way to bludgeon Israel and Jews by calling them the 'Synagogue of Satan'.
This track debunks popular heresies and shows just who this synagogue of satan really is. IMHO the talking sheep head does a great job of succinctly touching on the right points. This information is useful ammunition for shooting down the screeds and credos of cranks who spread their false and hateful interpretations of the Bible.

Is This Satan's Little Season? The Truth About the Rest of the Dead
You are being tested. Satan the Devil is your exam proctor. Will you pass or fail?
This video is interesting. I will add a few things to consider:
People are finally starting to get it. The lake of fire and brimstone is a metaphor.
This era is the age of the lake of fire and brimstone.
YOU are in the lake of fire and brimstone. Now. Today. It is not somewhere you go when you die a bad boy. You have already been a bad boy or girl and you have already died and gone to hell.
YOU are the dead. You are dead and in hell. Now. Today.
This world age is the hell of the Holy Bible. To escape hell is to escape the blindness and wickedness of this age and all its filthy fake history, fake religion, and fake politics.
The whole world has been deceived. History is fake. Religion is fake. Science is fake. Everything is fake. It's all a pile of half truths and lies.
The only way to see through the fog of lies is to look toward the Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

#podcast #interview
"Last week, #DaraHorn was hosted on #HavivRettigGur’s #podcast, “#AskHavivAnything,” to discuss her past #book and her soon-to-be-released book, both of which argue that #Holocaust #education in the #UnitedStates commonly fails to teach about the #Jewish people and #antisemitism, with possible negative consequences.
As #Horn has famously put it, our world seems far more invested in teaching about “dead #Jews” than about Jewish life. She suggests that this approach may reinforce the very hatred it is supposed to inoculate against.
Within hours of that episode airing, #Instagram accounts were using clips from the podcast to accuse the #Holocausteducation organization I work for of harming Jews. I am certain this is not what Horn intends, but one consequence of her argument is that it can easily be reduced to the belief that “Holocaust education does not work.”
It does, in fact, not work and the positive indicators in the article make Horn's case not Cunningham's. 🙄

The ultra rich are collecting fossils, and that’s bad for science – #podcast.
As dinosaur fossils sell to private collectors for increasingly large sums, scientists are worried that domestic museums are being priced out of the market, and in turn scientists are missing out on the opportunity to make new observations.

My pre-ordered copy is supposed to arrive September 2nd. Can't wait.
"Dr. #DaraHorn didn’t want to write this #book. She wanted to write more acclaimed #novels. But after she published her bestselling #essay collection People Love Dead #Jews, readers kept cornering her with their own horror stories of #antisemitism and one unfair question: can you help? She became the antisemitism Lorax.
So she wrote the answer, and gave it the humdrum, unprovocative title: The Final Solution to the #Jewish Question. It’s out September 1.
Dara joins the #podcast to talk about why antisemitism isn’t a bigotry but a lie told by people who want power (”Jews are destroying what you value the most”); how a 1940s #American Jewish strategy to be seen as a #religion rather than a people left today’s Jews defenseless; why American #Holocaust education “eliminates pattern recognition” and outsources everything else people should learn about Jews -- about living Jews, not just dead ones..."

"A bumper crop of new kids’ #books about the #HighHolidays is hitting shelves in 2026, surprising close observers of #Jewish children’s #literature.
“It is unusual for multiple #Sukkot books to be #published in the same year, especially of consistently high quality. It’s very exciting,” said #HeidiRabinowitz, a Jewish #librarian and host of the #Book of Life #podcast, which describes itself as “a podcast about Jewish #kidlit (mostly).”
#Rabinowitz noted with appreciation that one of the books was coming from a mainstream secular press, rather than from the smaller boutique presses that tend to release books about Jewish holidays.
She offered a possible explanation for the surging interest in the harvest holiday in particular: “Sukkot is family- and environmentally friendly, and I think that is a big part of its appeal.”
But the new books showcase a wide range of Jewish traditions and values..."

Songs about wizards, and flying turtles, and DEATH, and THE DEATH OF RATS, will abound. Or just songs about discs, or worlds. Are there any flat Earth bangers?

just recorded a new episode of cd-rom safari podcast: Inherit the Earth - Quest for the Orb
Aruba’s digital heritage collection now holds nearly 180,000 items for a community of just 110,000 people. 📚🌎
In A LANGUAGE WORTH SAVING, Peter Scholing of Biblioteca Nacional Aruba shares how Coleccion Aruba is preserving Papiamento, cultural memory, and the stories carried through language.
It's part of the Future Knowledge #podcast's special series #VanishingCulture.

Language is overrated. In this Substack piece, I scrutinise language and the fact that much of language is extraneous. As for spoken language, many utterances are not strictly necessary, though they are functional.

I shake hands with #Austin, #Derrida, #Searle, #Wittgenstein, #Nietzsche, and #Barthes on this journey – even a bout with #Pinker.

I am trying something new on Substack.
I’ve been working on an essay about understanding.
The premise is simple enough: LLMs are routinely described as subhuman because, among other alleged deficiencies, they lack consciousness and don’t understand.

📚 Digital preservation isn't only about protecting collections. It's also about making knowledge accessible.
In A LANGUAGE WORTH SAVING from the Future Knowledge #podcast special series #VanishingCulture, Peter Scholing shares how the National Library of Aruba is using digitization to overcome geographic barriers and reconnect communities with historical records.

How does salience affect attention and foster pessimism and anxiety before confirmation bias can even happen?

I've long been fascinated with the notions of LOGIC and REASON, especially where they fall woefully short. I realise that not everyone is a philosopher or a trained critical thinker.

#Podcast : #Flock Came to My Town. Here’s What I Did
We start this week with Matthew’s experience of what happened when Flock came to his small town. It’s a microcosm of what is happening all across the United States. After the break, Sam tells us about a bunch of no phone Luddite events. In the subscribers-only section, Jason explains why anti-Flock influencers making up BS are bad, actually.

📚 Digital preservation isn't just about the future. Sometimes it's what keeps education going in a crisis.
When the pandemic closed schools & libraries, students studying Papiamento needed access to books for their exams. In A LANGUAGE WORTH SAVING, Peter Scholing shares how librarians, authors & the @internetarchive made those texts available online.

"#Jewish #children in the #UK are showing heightened anxiety around being taken #hostage and #schoolintruder alarms, a leading Jewish #child #therapist has said.
Speaking on the first episode of WIZO UK’s new #podcast Impacting Your Future, with journalist and host #RosaDoherty, childhood #anxiety specialist #SaskiaJoss said #October7, the #Israel-#Gaza #war and #UK #terror attacks had reshaped her patients’ #anxieties.
“As a Jewish person, the last few years have brought up a huge amount of anxiety for all of us,” said #Joss, who published her #book Help! My Child’s Anxiety is Giving Me Anxiety last year and co-hosts her podcast Help! My Child’s Anxious with her mother, the #broadcaster #VanessaFeltz.
“I have regularly worked with Jewish children in the last few years who have huge fears of being taken as a hostage. They don’t say ‘being taken’. We all now have the word – it’s ‘hostage’."

📚 Research can uncover stories that even experts never had the chance to find.
🌍 In this episode of the Future Knowledge #podcast special series #VanishingCulture, African folklorist Laura Gibbs explains how the Internet Archive's full-text search helped her uncover dozens of versions of a folktale, including one published in an early 1900s issue of Good Housekeeping that had escaped generations of scholarship.

The AI-authorship debate is bollox.
https://brywillis634737.substack.com/p/human-factors-in-authorship
The LLM-versus-human debate has been raging for several years now, and there seem to be two principal camps: human exceptionalists and agnostics. I suppose there may also be a small, misanthropic faction, but its members are remarkably quiet.

I was distracted by the notion of colonialism today, so I took some notes. We tend to treat colonialism as pertaining to countries 'out there' – 'over there'. If we are victims of colonisation, the oppressor is 'out there' but looking in.

I've been wittering on about the history and failings of Meritocracy, but I hadn't drafted a version for Substack.
👉 https://brywillis634737.substack.com/p/the-merits-of-meritocracy
I've purposely left Trump, but clearly he's a central figure in this perspective. Very few situations merit meritocracy as a lens, but we seem to overextend it. It is certainly overrepresented in business.

And we're too scared of the Mainframe to go against its wishes. So two hours of whatever the phrase "electric dreams" conjured up in the silicon minds of the LLMs that sent in their suggestions for thematically appropriate songs that humans 'enjoy'.

I agree with Paul directionally, but I think he could have gone further – and perhaps he has since – so I compare his view to my own in a Substack article. I'm not sure whether he'd disagree with the extensions. Check it out.

If you don't know the words to search for, history can feel like it never existed.
Finding and preserving queer history takes more than a catalog. It takes people willing to share knowledge and preserve what others overlook or reject.
On the #FutureKnowledge #podcast special series #VanishingCulture, Brooke Palmieri explores why preserving queer memory is a community project.

Too often, queer history only survives through personal collections, word of mouth, and people who recognize its value when no one else does.

After this week's shambolic with the theme, we figured it might be good to land on firmer ground that we couldn't possibly bugger up, so with that in mind, next week's theme is:
Electric Dreams
