A Glastonbury special edition from the Tune Catcher. Let me tell you, Worthy Farm was vibrating with big tunes all weekend.
Well, Snip managed to bag a fair few. Lucky us. We are in for a treat, I'm excited.
Strictly bangers, no mash.
This is for all the Glastonbury troopers. All those who spread love and joy this weekend and around the world.
If you know a friend in need of a groovy boogie, feel welcome to send them this jam.
Welcome to the aftertunes.
I hope you enjoy this Tune Catcher Production.
Tunes do not get much better than this.
You are in for a treat.
Big up every single act at Glasto dropping beats and boppers. Big up everyone who makes Glasto possible. Who poor their hearts, soul, love and energy into this special festival every single year.
This is for you.
Bless up, way up!
Peace and love, Wip x
Big tunes a drop on Spotify
And by special Senners request on YouTube. Cause Fuck Spotify (although I do appreciate it):
Finally, I will say I have experimented with a new mode of writing these posts. One that I found fascinating and enjoyable. This is a processed transcript from a whatsapp chat I had with pals after the festival. Big up all you lot who joined Snip's Glasto afterparty. Thanks to Mr Chat for helping make this so easy.
This could maybe do with some more cleaning up. If you see anything that offends you, or if I have identified you and you prefer I did not, please reach out to me and I will try to rectify it as soon as possible. Thanks for your kindness in advance x.

This one is for you tough guy!
https://youtu.be/Uu-YkpLDwzs?feature=shared
14:48
That's a little teaser for later. Who got a good skank in at the sunflower stage this weekend? What a work of art that was.
A high temple to the boogie for sure
14:56
Daym, this one's a bopper. Just finished it
14:58
Not a bad option if you can't make it to glasto tbf. Ey Michael
15:13
15:13
Another one from the sunflower
15:17
Give it up for š. If there is one thing and one thing only that you take away from Glastonbury, or any festival, any mutually shared experience even. It is that love trumps hate.
ALL. DAY. LONG.
It's more fun. More joyful. More infectious.
So fuck Keir Starmer and all those politicians spreading hate.
A wise man once told me. Rise above it.
We will shower them in love x
15:18
On that note
15:18
Who fecking saw kneecap
15:18
That shit was carnage
15:18
Those boys know the score
15:19
Big love to Mo Chara and the Kneecap crew
15:19
15:22
Michael, get them in?
Snip Editorial Commentary
I ranted about the Kneecap set and its aftermath. Resulting in me publishing a statement that I shared with colleagues. I have since published a reflection on that statement. If you are interested in this conversation then that is a great place to start. Choose Love and Joy
15:30
15:36
Right, lets resume our normal proceedings. I am hear to spread kindness. Happiness. Joy. Cause let me tell you, there is not much more joyful than wandering around Glastonbury on Sunday looking our around you are all the beautiful, beaming, glowing, gorgeous faces looking back to you
15:36
Not many smiles bigger than a Glastonbury smile
15:37
15:41
One final note, before we move on from Kneecap. I have so much respect for the Kneecap boys for taking a stand. I have so much respect for Emily and Glastonbury for staying strong against the political pressure. I also have so much respect for Bob Vylan for taking some of the pressure of them. Think about it they are just wee Irish boys from Belfast. Catapulted to the forefront of a movement. The pressure they must have been under. Can't even imagine.
15:43
Time for us all to speak truth to power in whatever way we can, use our voice and our presence to weave a more loving, friendly reality for ourselves
15:43
So yeah free Mo Chara, free free Mo Chara. I'll try be at there court case on the 20th of August. Let me know if you want to join
15:50
Okay, let me crack on. Next up is an absolutely stunning tour of some of reggae's most incredible, historical bands. First, Burning Spear on Friday afternoon at the Pyramid. Then an insane Sunday afternoon. Cymande, Black Uhuru and finally The Third World closing out at 7pm. This was my choose my own musical adventure out on my ones in the metropolis that is Glastonbury Festival. The 27th largest city in the UK for one week a year. I encourage you to make your own.
15:50
Stay tuned for tunes
15:52
15:51
Oh also. I should add.
FREE PALESTINE. FREE, FREE PALISTINE!
15:53
15:54
Daym. Let me say, Cymande were insane. I only got the last ten minutes, but it was special. Watch that set
15:54
15:55
We should all do ourselves a favor and listen to more Cymande
16:01
Can we all take a minute to appreciate my beautiful balcony. Come back from glasto and even the plants are strutting their stuff. A little sun spangled, but hanging in strong. And these beautiful flowers, I bought these this morning
16:01
Snip added Ellie Thomas and Tara Murphy
16:02
Shout out to my ladies up in Babylon. Ellie and Tara, bloody wonderful to spend some of my Glastonbury with you
16:03
And you too Kathy darling of course
16:03
16:03
Big tune!
16:10
Snip added Jonathan Bryce
16:14
I want to give a special shout out to these two absolute rastamen from Kingston Jamaica. Especially, Mr Michael Gardine in the middle. This legend is part of the reason I know all these reggae legends playing over the glasto weekend so well.
Bless up, both of you. Way up
16:16
This is for you Bryce.
Jamaican dancehall. If you know, you know
16:20
Right if anyone has any gas left in the tank and is close to Finsbury park, I'm going to close this out in the sun. I'll be at the back somewhere, harringay side
16:27
16:37
16:37
Stop it
16:38
Big tunes from the third world
16:45
16:56
Pop up stage is open lol
16:57
Drop beats, not bombs. Strictly irie vibes
16:59
16:59
Wow, third world are mind blowingly good
17:06
Okay that's the reggae winding down, it's 7 pm and Sunday is bubbling up nicely. I bet the woman I love dearly and we went for an easy cruise through the healing fields before dipping in the south east corner
17:06
One of Snips absolute top tips for enjoying glasto is get yourself up to South east corner on Sunday early evening
17:07
While the sheeple are nice a mellow, sedated by the sunshine monging at the main stage. South east corner is popping off
17:07
Let me take you on our little adventure
17:10
"the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima dropped 12 kilotonnes. albeit not neclear, Gaza has experienced 70 kilotonnes of bombing in the first 200 days of Israel's latest attempted Palestinian genocide".
17:11
Spotted up by the Greenpeace stage. Jungle is not massive.
17:12
Another of Snips top tips, Sunday is when they bring out the real funky merch
17:16
In the throne. This is a top chillers after hours little camp fire, if you can find it that is
17:17
South east corner. Queue jump only
17:17
If you know, you know
17:18
Oh I also sent off some postcards. Hope you got it @279860203262134. Bless up the family
17:19
Anyone make it to the temple for shy fx? That was a special set.
17:20
That was Saturday evening at 12. We skipped the queues by leaving the main stuff early and getting a stomp on. None of those issues on a lazy Sunday evening
17:21
What a temple of mayhem and madness it is aswell
17:21
Scenes
17:24
17:24
Can't not drop that one
17:28
Snip added Abi, Ally, Amber, Charlie, Doug Austin, George Brook, Jams, Joe Miller, Kenna, Nash, Sam Rowely, Tom Ashurst, and Vicky Scott
17:28
Let me welcome to the stage the I town massive. Yorkshire boys and gals. All good people, what can I say we breed them different up North
17:29
Settle in for the last hour. It's Sunday and we are walking back down into the area from south east corner
17:33
Snip added Ben Barber, Beth D, Lucy, Pip, and Will Carney
17:35
Also let me big up the York crew. Lived with this guys through uni. Legends. Lucy congrats on your wedding, that was special. Beth get yerself to Finsbury park. Big Ben, mate you are a g. An independent raver. We gotta go glasto together at some point
17:36
me and you Benny boy at this last year was incredible
17:36
Who is coming next year then?
17:37
Consider yourselves all invited for one of the biggest parties of 2026
17:38
Come celebrate the lives of me and Kathy over a weekend of beats and barminess
17:38
Also, almost forgot. Got to gas upmr Vango here
17:38
This guy is a bloody trooper. Been to more festivals than most of ya in here I reckon
17:40
17:41
I'll be bringing all my festival hats out of retirement. Who knows maybe even Kathy's peacock jacket will make an appearance
17:41
Book it in
17:42
17:42
Now let me take you to overmono. Kathy and I have just arrived
17:43
Actually. No. Rewind. We missed the cum licker and all round huge gimp. Stop the genocide or fuck off to Mars
17:44
With the rest of the dead wood
17:45
Sorry, we are back walking over to overmono. West holts stage. What a place. Do you know the back alley ways. Through the circus field and over the bridge. That's how I snuck into the front of kneecap. Never fails
17:46
Worth a watch in full this one. Stick it on the telly
17:47
17:49
17:56
Right, and then before you know it the last songs are being played. The sheeple start wandering home. We ended in prodigy. Now I dropped this one earlier for those who tuned in
17:57
17:57
I'm going to send him outta space
17:57
To find another race
17:59
Now, navigating the crowds at Glastonbury isn't always easy. But with a small change in perspective, it can become easier. Warning this works best with a small group. One or two is ideal
17:59
Repeat the mantra
17:59
You are gently wafting in the breeze, floating through the currents of the crowd. Like a dandelion seed in a warm summer breeze
18:00
Lol. Basically tune into what the crowd is saying, work with it. But float upstream.
18:01
I reckon you could do some sort of crowd counting aswell if you were on it
18:01
A wise man once said to me, if you arent moving forwards, you are moving backwards. Words to live by, especially at glasto
18:02
Always space at the front for those who want to boogie. They are really good at crowd control here, but sometimes the sheeple get stuck
18:03
Creating a protective, dense shell around the front and the middle. You gotta pierce that, which can be blagging, but the rewards are unparalleled
18:04
Shout out to everyone out there on their ones. Big up yaselves
18:04
Snip tip, if there is every anyone you want to see don't be afraid to go on your own
18:05
It's a warm and welcoming world in the city of Glastonbury, with magical adventures around every corner
18:06
A wise man once said to me, always take the most interesting path. You never know what you might discover behind that bar, or round the bend
18:06
Glastonbury is nothing if not a walking holiday, so get yer stompers on
18:06
And if you see someone on their own, be sound. They are choosing their own, custom musical adventure. Bless them up
18:07
Let the through the crowd, there is always space at the front. They are on there own, they don't want to stand in your group. They want to get through
18:07
Another snip top tip, bring a toothbrush and toothpaste with you. Will change your life
18:08
And now, the music is over. Or is it? Depends how much you have got left in the tank
18:10
But if you do anything. If you are wanting to race home, whatever, do your thing. But swing by Babylon uprising for some Sunday madness. 16 DJs. B2B2B. All night long. These geezers all build or run or help coordinate this magical stage. Even just 5 minutes. You won't regret a visit to this special stage. The best stage in the festival. Without a shadow of a doubt. Only thing that came close is sunflower sound system
18:12
18:12
It's Sunday, what do you expect
18:12
Shout out to all the stompers out there still going strong at half 12. At 1
18:13
18:13
We are at base
18:13
At Babylon
18:13
Big bad salt and pepper chaps
18:14
Big bad Babylon. So much love for these guys
18:16
Cheers! Gridlock in parliament. Get to know
18:19
Right I've got a few pals checking up on me lol. Seeing if my heads screwed on right. I appreciate that!
18:19
But I'm sound
18:19
I'm nearly done
18:20
Then ill leave you all in peace to enjoy your Monday evening
18:20
At some point I'll drop a playlist for these tunes
18:20
But more importantly
18:20
Don't harsh my vibe or burst my buzz. Big me up, show me love
18:23
We just have a couple more stops on our festival tour
18:23
It's 1am and we are heading to the tree stage
18:23
For something magical, mellow. A musical meditation to ambient sounds
18:23
Top tip from the glasto free press
18:24
18:25
18:26
If you listen to any of these tunes. Listen to this one
18:27
18:30
18:30
Big tune a drop
18:30
18:30
18:31
18:32
Let me treat you to the last tune
18:33
Before a final mooch through south east corner. IICON, in the mix
18:33
Then back to tent. Pack up the last of our shite
18:33
Back to London in time for breakfast lol
18:34
Right, this is wip signing out
18:34
18:34
18:34
18:35
But before I do, I want to say one more thing
18:35
I know I seem a lil crazy, a lil loose haha
18:35
But I'm chasing down an idea
18:35
Let me try explain
18:37
Right I've been summoned home, I'll send you one more message in a bit. My friends and family x
18:38
Maps of memories and meaning. Michael knows
18:38
Peace x
18:42
She going down
18:53
Woo victorious.
18:53
I'm gonna do this again. Snips Sunday selection maybe lol
19:13
Back to base
19:14
Double tap on this naughty little number. 30 min long, just made my walk home
19:16
There is so much more to share lol, that was just Sunday. But your gonna have to give me a week or two
19:17
That's from this ridiculous stage fyi
19:36
Right it's the last one from me. Do yourself a favor and stick the whole album on. Sun is shining, it doesn't get much better that this
20:03
Some light reading and a lovely poem
20:03
I wish I had written this. bad boy poem. Come find me
20:06
So finally. I did promise some more explanatory words for all this strange, intriguing behaviour of mine. Here are some I baked earlier.
20:12
Snip changed this group's settings to allow only admins to add others to this group.
20:07
Glasto. You have blown my mind. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
From the bottom of my heart, with deep deep gratitude.
This festival is incredible. Magical. Special.
Words cannot describe. Cannot paint the experience in anywhere close to as much richness as this place deserves.
Once in your life, at least once, come an bathe in the joy, the love and the positive vibrations of the space, place and land.
But, if you can't come, and I know there are many of you out there.
Getting tickets is a lottery. But one that you can win, just make sure you buy a ticket.
I am working on something that I think have the potential to be epic.
Weaving the threads of my research on identity systems, my fascination with memory spaces and the people and places that sustain, manipulate and attempt to navigate them. To make sense of them. To explore and enact the worlds that are rendered into our lived experience.
Plus of course, my overflowing love for festivals and all the goodness they breathe into the world. The hope. The joy. The possibility.
Well this is a special collab. Brought to you by Snipadvisor, Future Wip and Tune Catcher Productions.
I want to get the high resolution Glastonbury map that the app uses when it shows you your location. Then I want to overlay my digital imprints within this navigatable virtual environment.
Who wants to come play in my Glastonbury game?
Pick you camp spot and live out the Glastonbury weekend in my memory map. Even contribute your own. Let build and enact a different digital realm for us to inhabit together.
20:08
You lot are all invited. VIPs. Test drivers. lol. When its ready, I will hit you up
20:12
Snip changed this group's settings to allow all members to send messages to this group
20:08
Big love x
20:09
And, as a special and reasonable request from my man Chaz, I am going to open up this chat for this evening. Until I wake up tomorrow. Feel free to drop some love bombs and share your own stories of Glasto. I would love to have them embedded within this shared immersive multimedia experience
20:12
Oh and one final, final thing. Lets send some thoughts to folks like Michael, still schlepping up the country back to places like Scotland. Or people like Cal, probably stuck in traffic, waiting to even leave the festival site. Today has been sweltering, can't have been easy. I hope these tunes, and these words from Wip can help smooth some of the rough edges for you all.
20:12
Right, lets get this party started. Go wild. I am going to bed, look forward to catching up with some of it in the morning x
20:15
Joe Andrieu: Big love for you! Great energy to bring to Geneva

Charlie: Nobody asked mate
21:40
Charlie: Jks luv U xxxxxxx
23:29
Just want to double tap on this tune. This one is for all my drum and base ravers, who, like DRS, enjoy the dnb with a little soul. Smooth, mellow and liquidy. Like butter.
Nice one to send you off for a snooze.
Michael, I hope your home buddy.
Stay tuned for my dnb highlights from Thursday and Friday at some point.
23:31
Shout out everyone who made it into the mix for DRS, LSB and Dogger to close our the Thursday evening at the blind tiger. Gardna and friends.
This venue is an absolute fav of mine. A place to listen to dnb at its finest.
Who knows about the back alley ways to drop down right into the mix at this place.
If you know you know x
23:42
Joe Andrieu: Fogerty? I always felt Jeff O is a Zappa doppelganger
23:53
23:53
Just look at this lil cutey
23:54
This set would be worth watchin
23:55
Here's to you! Thanks you!
23:55

23:55
Proper American, in the best kinds of ways
Tuesday, 1st of July
00:56
This is a little tease for another day. And wow, speaking such relevant truths. Ezra collective, big up! You know the score
01:00
And can I just say, fuck mobile phones. We deserve a better device, one that doesn't get in-between and in the way of our lived experience. But one that blends into the background. One that is helpful, friendly but most importantly serenely peaceful and mostly not around
03:35
Lol can't sleep in this sweat box. Thought I'd do something useful. Eva Lazarus who else?
https://open.spotify.com/track/3x0TSeaZX2A91pVb44IxDN?si=TxIf_BT2QI-oj4FZmqa7Dg

The ladies G! Love this gyal
03:37
03:37
That was Sunday morning, for those of you still sleeping
03:37

03:45
Don't harsh my vibe, or burst my buzz. Big me up, show me love.
What a line that is. My own personal little remix. Eva Lazarus style. Eva, you are welcome to it haha
03:46
Snip changed this group's settings to allow only admins to send messages to this group

Snip changed the settings so only admins can edit the group settings

03:54
Calm AF
04:05
05:04
En route, wish me luck

06:28
I have absolutely smashed this

20:32

21:19
Hey lovely people! Just chatting with Kathy, she thinks I should chill out on the chat. Cause my boss, my pal too though, and my gran, Nanny Shelia, love you. 93 years old. What a lovely lady, she is coming to the wedding. And my Nan June too. She might make it as well. Another 93 year old and an evacuee in the war. She has some stories, be sure to ask her. I'm gonna chill out now and close the chat probably once I export all the messages.
Although, for the record. I don't think the is right. So give me some love and signal if you have had a wonderful time on this journey with me.
Thank you for keeping me company on this epic, strange, boggling adventure. Even if I have mostly just been talking at you. I've had a blast.
I hope you have enjoyed partying with me. I'm at the after festival, the Global Digital Collaboration in Geneva. I'm a right chatterbox lol. Made some pals haha.
Look out for the after-blog. If you sign up to the metalabel. Which, i don't think I've told you. Or in fact Kathy.
So listen up.
The wedding digital space is going to emerge at livesentwined.uk.
The metalabel will be called livesentwined.metalabel.com. Look out for it over the next few days.
I've got Charlie signed on as the best man. He has just been there for so many moments of my life. So many moments of our life.
This poem I wrote a while ago is perfect for this.
This was a tough one though. I bloody love Charlie, but could easily have been Sen dog, Cal, and of course big Benny Barber.
https://futurewip.com/moments-of-history
But, if anyone else wants to share your memories and moments with us over the wedding weekend. We would love. To hear them. Of course. Always.
Maybe we can fit them in over the night, like a little festival line up or something.
Watch this space x
P.S Shout out to all those I don't really know.
Callum and Alice, in particular. I know you from Babylon and Miss Mash. So I know, I know you are good people. Let's go for a pint some time.
Maybe there are a couple of rogue others, not sure.
Either way you are all invited to beatherder if you want to come. It is a public event after all.
Last thing. I'm going to open up the chat for a final time.
Last chance to share any thoughts or whatever. Any highlights too would be wonderful.
I did ask you for your top three. So if you have them, share them x
Peace and love x

23:12
Bar tender says I have excellent tadt
23:12
Taste
23:31
Right I know I said I was going to end this and I am as soon as I get home. But I want to share some more words
23:31
The PC version of my statement on kneecap
23:31
Far, yeah. Apologies for that.
Have you seen any of it by the way?
Are you at the Global Digital Conference in Geneva?
Id appreciate a little chat about it to understand more. But I totally get where you are coming from.
I was at the kneecap set, right at the front, all the way through. And personally, I didn't experience anything that I would have judged to controvene code of contact you quoted.
"Appreciate and accommodate our similarities and differences. We come from many cultures and backgrounds, ways of life, and standards of behavior. Cultural differences can encompass everything from official religious observances to personal habits to clothing. Be respectful of people with different practices, attitudes, and beliefs."
In fact, that sounds like something I can imagine Mo Chara saying on stage.
More than happy to chat. And I totally appreciate and respect that this is a charged, complicated topic.
But please respect that I actually lived through it. I was there.
I would appreciate it if at least you would take the time to watch the set if you haven't already and then point out to where you think there are potential conflicts.
I think you owe me that.
I also understand that it is further charged by the actions of the previous band, Bob Vylan. For which I was not present.
Some of the chants he lead did cross the line.
However, I do see it slightly different than the mainstream media portrayed it.
Let's be clear, they chanted death to the Israeli Defence Force. The IDF.
To me, from my viewpoint at least. They are an organization aren't they? Sure, a strong powerful military government organization of one of our allies in this war against terrorists. Against Hamas right.
That's what the media show us. At least that's how it looks on my side of the pond.
Now, how would you feel if someone got up at Coachella, at Glastonbury, or indeed at any venue or gathering place of people.
And changed death to McDonald's. Or death to the W3C. Or even death to ICE.
You might think it strangely aggressive. Wonder what they have against the W3C or whatever.
But I don't think, and maybe I am wrong, you would think they were meaning death to you. Or indeed any living, loving human that is part of the W3C.
And even if you did, and took deep offence, could you not see that others would disagree with your interpretation of the meaning you have inferred from the words you heard.
Now, I will say again. I was at every second of kneecap.
They didn't chant death to anyone.
I don't think Bob Vylan meant his words to be interpreted as death to every single human Israeli who is employed in the Israeli Defence Force. Maybe, we would have to ask him.
I think he meant death to the IDF. As an organization, with a pretty damming track record or sniping Palestinian children.
Hear it from the US doctors and heros who volunteered in Gaza and compared notes when they returned.
Also, where are the voices and stories of these Palestinian children, women, families and lovers from our narrative? Have you sought them out?
Because it is absolutely critical, I cannot emphasize this enough, that we remember they are also living, laughing, loving human beings.
I could never, ever condone chanting that called directing for the death of any of the beautiful humans that I share this beautiful world with.
However, I could condone the chanting of the Wagner Group, Putin's authoritarian Russian State - but not Putin himself - and maybe through those eyes, the chanting for the death of an organization like like the Israeli Defence Force isn't all as charged as the media would like to make it.
That is the thing. The slight of hand that they played. That had me fuming. The pure and blatant manipulation of reality through the selective presentation of facts distributed across digital media.
And that. That is what has got me so worked up that I felt I had to do something.
To say something.
As chair of both the Decentralized Identifier WG and Credentials Community Group at the W3C.
As someone with a PhD in identity, in meaning making and the technologies that shape it.
As someone who was physically present in that moment.
I felt I had a duty to speak up.
As you might be able to tell, I am someone who has thought deeply about this. Ever since that set ended and the media started to curate its presentation of reality.
I understand the risks that speaking up entails. The political pressure that you come under.
If you do watch the kneecap set, you might feel sorry for these wee Irish lads from West Belfast.
Then you might feel an overwhelming respect at there bravery.
To speak truth to power. To continue to do so in the face of all this pressure. Of all this anger. This vitriol. This hate.
That seems to permiate our world at the moment.
If you do watch the kneecap set. You will realize that for all there lariness. For all there swearing. For all their "Fuck Starmer" chants. That are echoed with feeling by the crowd. By me.
Starmer has let me down big time. He has broken the bond of mutual trust that should exist between its citizens and government.
He doesn't represent me. What does he stand for.
Because I for one, do not know how a humanitarian lawyer who must know the reality can look himself in the mirror. Or his family in the eyes.
So yeah, Fuck Keir Starmer.
Doesn't mean I want him dead. I just want him out of government.
If that is against the Code of Conduct at the W3C, then the code needs to be changed. I should be able to express my opinions about the political leaders who have the lives of our future generations in the balance.
And that's the thing.
If you do watch the kneecap set. And please, I do employer you to do so. The raw, unedited, uncut hour of it.
You will see 3 lads from Ireland a country that has long been oppressed by its neighbors. Sewing what, at least to them, looks very similar happening over in the Middle East.
You will see them expressing themselves. Standing up for the Palestinian people.
Dropping some truth bombs.
But that's the thing about truth bombs. They can't hurt any of us living, laughing, loving human beings. Accept maybe the egos of a few powerful men who cling on the the reins of power as they try to try to crush down the uprising.
To everyone out there reading this. I say resist. Not with violence. Never with violence. But through spreading love and joy.
They won't know what to do. Don't let them try to stress you. We will wil this fight.
And to Keir Starmer. To Netenyahu. To everyone who is desperately clinging on to these defunct realities. I say this.
HISTORY WILL JUDGE YOU. SHAME ON YOU.
When, if, you do watch the kneecap set. Be sure to look all round the faces of those in the crowd.
They are not angry faces. They are not baying for blood. They are not inviting and spreading hate.
Despite what the media would have you believe.
They are faces beaming. Suffused. Overflowing with Glastonbury festival joy.
And that's the thing you learn at a festival.
Joy trumps hate.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
And let me tell you, from where I'm sitting, from how I see it. It is the politicians and the main stream media that are spreading hate. That are manipulating and obfuscating the reality to construct a fabrication.
I was there. Your fabrication can't fool me. It won't fool a single soul who was in that West holts field on Saturday afternoon.
So please, please, please. Watch the full, unedited hour of the kneecap set.
Then tell me how you really feel.
And finally. Because I know this has turned into a bit of a rant.
Why I feel this is even more important for groups like the CCG that I co-chair with Harrison and Mahmoud. Who I have cc'd into this email.
I would appreciate their alternative perspectives and voices on this.
Because, and this is key, there are a myriad a perspectives that make up our shared reality. That makes up this world. That we share.
With every living being on this planet.
We need to learn to share better. With all beings. With Israelis, with Palestinians, with arabs, with Jews, with Buddhists and atheists. Muslims and Christians.
All faiths and races from all different kinds of places.
Finally I will say, I hope something that we can agree with, but maybe not. Death to all ideologies sustain themselves through spreading hate and monopolizing violence.
Spread joy instead. It's more fun. More infectious. More sound.
Let's live in the present. Moment to moment. Try to find it in our hearts to have forgiveness for past wrongs and mistakes. Let's not let the past be a straight jacket on our futures possibilities. Our kids futures possibilities.
Join the joy revolution.
Thanks, Hopefully that's not too long Tzyviya, Let's get on a call some time to discuss.
Would love to hear your honest reflections. Especially if you have watched the set.
Also, just an FYI, unless anyone on this thread vetos these words with a legitimate concern.
I will ad my boss Joe and our HR and media director Erica for their considered input also.
For example like a concern that they go against the Code of Conduct paragraph you referred to:
"Appreciate and accommodate our similarities and differences. We come from many cultures and backgrounds, ways of life, and standards of behavior. Cultural differences can encompass everything from official religious observances to personal habits to clothing. Be respectful of people with different practices, attitudes, and beliefs."
I intend to publish these words pretty much verbatim, through my new and revamped distribution pipeline.
Words from Wip on substack.
All the best, I really appreciate you reaching out to me. I hope we can find a constructive way to navigate these challenging issues together. And ideally a the World Wide Web and organization.
Wishing you a happy evening/morning wherever you are in the world.
Speak soon, Wip
23:32
Someone challenged me on the W3C code of conduct because I suggested folks watch the kneecap set in full, raw, unedited version
23:33
Shock. Asking people to watch what really happened hahha
23:34
Anyone here could also voice a veto, but if you think I should publish it I would appreciate a heart or whatever
23:35
Joe Andrieu: W3C code of conduct? For suggesting media? That's just bs, IMO
23:35
Init
23:36
I think I have been polite and respectful but firm in respkny
23:36
Joe Andrieu: It's not like you audio bombed the weekly call
23:36
Lol
23:36
Init I popped in for a friendly festival hello
23:36
Looking forward to watching that 5 min back haha
23:39
23:49
Hey Will, thatās as simple as it is complex. Does that make sense? I feel it touches on a sensibility I was reaching for in a convo about the mind running its sensors to gather what you piece speaks to. I was contrasting how āadvanced techā (aka AI) is being used as the sensor package which is then loaded into our sense making generally obstructing some aspects of natural clarity.
It feels to me that the natural state of the mind is built to feed directly from our own experiences and perspectives in the way it seems you speak to in your writing.
It feels to me as though the mind being fed a technically built feed with the āassistanceā of advanced tech is like having a projector showing us things to think about from its own perspective - and we are left to on board it. We see what its sensor suite can grasp. I propose we are not built for that such that it offers a more true read of circumstances.
This is far different than directly experiencing and processing local and/or psychic reality and sense making than when we are living straight from the mindās unfettered eye.
When a person is having a technical system observing digital landscapeās facets - breadcrumbs of activities and raw data - then reporting on the observation to a human mind waiting and watching for the (AI) results it bypasses of muddies the natural fees I feel you are describing in your piece.
I do not believe you are going too far. Did this response go too far?!
23:49
Reactions from JeffO
