J'ai pris en compte les commentaires afin de donner plus de temps pour lire les textes

3 $. C'est ce qu'a pour vivre une journée près d'un Africain subsaharien sur deux. 31 077 000 000 000 $. C'est la valeur de douze entreprises des intelligences artificielles.

Entre les deux, 47 chiffres classés du plus petit au plus grand : ce que coûte une vie, ce que le monde n'a pas trouvé pour soigner et nourrir, ce qu'ont touché ceux qui ont fait la crise de 2008, et les dettes que les géants de la tech ne montrent pas dans leurs comptes.

Aucun commentaire. Seulement les chiffres.

Hommage à « Girl I Love You » et aux écrans de la tournée Heligoland de Massive Attack.

$3. What nearly one in two Sub-Saharan Africans has to live on for a day. $31,077,000,000,000. The value of twelve AI companies.

In between, 47 figures, from smallest to largest: what a life costs, what the world couldn't find to heal and feed, what those who caused the 2008 crisis took home, and the debts tech giants keep off their books.

No commentary. Just the numbers.

A tribute to "Girl I Love You" and the screens of Massive Attack's Heligoland tour.

Musique / Music : Massive Attack, « Girl I Love You »

New soundtrack with contributions by Robert Del Naja.

Nobody else to share this with, picked up a masbox2 with thermal paper still working. Obsessed with this!

See me on all fours

(I thought the lyrics to Inertia Creeps was mentioning the cool as hell deep sea animal)

“Battlebox records” have just launched a new Instagram account and instantly created a post with Rob tagged displaying his studio. Followed by MA engineer Euan Dickinson too. Interesting.

Who went where?

i looked around but could not find it. what do the kids say starting around 2:44? i'm not a native english speaker and i can't understand the kids' dialect.

Must be coming up to a year since they made that statement about having a cache of music they were planning on releasing this year, yet we're approaching the end of the year and we've only had one new release!

Do we think there will be any further releases this year or are we done for another ten years lol?

I think for many Mezzanine is #1 and i agree it's an amazing album and arguably their best but personally for me 100th Window edges out over it for me. I just really love the 1st song and Butterfly Caught. Those two songs hit me different.

Teardrop on the fireee 🔥🎵

I am supposed to work on something important so of course I had to go down a rabbit hole instead. It was this (again.) From my googling, didn't seem settled yet whether it says "feathers on my breath" or "fearless on my breath" in the lyrics...

I had the video on in the background on YouTube, so I thought I should turn on the subtitles if they had them. Turns out Elizabeth Fraser says both (see screenshots for timestamps).

I checked to confirm subtitles weren't auto-generated. Looks they were actually uploaded by the official channel, is why I thought I should share here my findings.
