A wide-ranging personal link roundup from Tim Bray covering books (The Luminaries, Empire of AI, Nobody's Girl), political economy and market socialism, photography mishaps, music recommendations (Irish punk band The Sleeveens, Boris, Arvo Pärt), tech writing (UI critique of Photoshop, a history of amplifiers, thoughts on GitHub dependency), and miscellaneous humor. AI content has been deliberately split into a separate companion post. The tone is personal, opinionated, and eclectic, touching on late-stage capitalism, crime in cricket, and an induction wok.
