this was my first impression as well

"AND NO MORE TICKETMASTER FEES (FOR THE SWIFTIES, FEES STAY FOR KID ROCK!)"

ongoing thread of JP songs / albums that Apple Music US does not have that Spotify US did and I miss sorely (and will have to sync local files for)

Kanopy is a very good streaming service and may be available to you for free through your local library if you live in the US

Had to add another page to TCRF for one of my favorite oddities. In the CD-ROM game Spaceship Warlock, there's a bar where you can type in the name of a drink to order. The game has *172 drinks* available, including tons of brand names that were definitely not approved tcrf.net/Spaceship_Wa...

Can't find a single thing wrong with this...

Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.

Friendly reminder that AI data centers are working overtime to help cook the planet. If the fires are scaring you— start using ‘-AI’ at the end of all Google searches to cut out any AI response to your query. Refusal is possible & responsible. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

If you want it to be easier to become an artist, here are some things to demand instead of generative AI: Flexible work hours Four day work weeks Universal basic income Living wages for artists Free arts education Those things will give you time, and with it, you can become an artist 7/7

when you see CNC do you think "computer numerical control" or "consensual non-consent"... 🤔

because they don't tell you in the head or sub-head: the brand is DermaRite. there are specific products & batch numbers in the article

I am obsessed with this 1820s desk that converts into a ladder for your library???

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

binged Derry Girls while recovering from surgery and I'm devastated it isn't longer of a show gremlin frat bro shenanigans but with girls? and also poignant coming of age themes? man, it was written so well

Apple Music doesn't have a lot of my nostalgic favorite jpop songs (or it has an alternate version but not the one I want) BUT it does have my favorite KOKIA album "The VOICE" which Spotify doesn't, so a win there

I’ve wanted to draw a millefleurs tapestry for so long and finally had the chance to do it and turn it into a physical woven tapestry! On preorder until Aug 27, est. to ship in Oct. Can be used as a tapestry or blanket - fully machine-washable and only gets softer with use 🦉 acorviart.bigcartel.com

made the switch from Spotify to Apple Music bc indirectly supporting AI military drones is something that I really can't stand for AI on its own and military drones on their own are... ehhh, but together? yikes

Without getting into the AI angle, I think dead people should be allowed to remain dead. You don't need to commodify everything. You don't get to claim something that belonged to a real person simply because he's not around to assert his likeness rights. We have film. We have memories. It's enough.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill! And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic! We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

finally got around to reading the Percy Jackson books for the first time, and tore through the original pentalogy in ~2-3 days honestly wish I had gotten into this w/ the same intensity as I liked HP back in my childhood but they were still immensely enjoyable as an adult

I interviewed Amanda Dyer, the original model for Tsukihime's Arcueid Brunestud! She details her life in 90's Japan and provides never-before-seen images from the photoshoot that Takashi Takeuchi was inspired by! In collaboration with @anitrendz.com: anitrendz.net/news/2025/07...

There are things I like about this essay and things I don't like. I don't like the undercurrent of stereotyping nonbinary people as middle class liberal dilettantes undermining medical transitioners' right to change sex.

I had never heard the call of cassowaries before, so I never knew that their voice was so low. I thought every cassowary I met at a zoo was very taciturn and silent. But maybe their voice was just too low for my ears to hear. youtu.be/iy-9Z2KrjsY?...

learned some basics of Pro Tools in ~3 days and I can see why this DAW is The Industry Standard but I definitely think it has a very steep learning curve and if I hadn't been at least decently fluent in Reaper prior, I would have been totally lost

I knew San Francisco was infested by techbros but I wasn't expecting to see THIS many ads for various AI tools or startups lol

i need y’all to know i turned around, stopped in an empty lot, and then got *out* of my car to document this roadside heresiology. research. 😎

Cucumbers in California and a bunch of eastern states are being recalled for Salmonella. As of yesterday 19 people had gotten very sick. Most of the cucumbers were in deli foods like salad and sushi. www.allrecipes.com/cucumber-rec...

A lot of people lose hope in progressive movements, but hear me out. If my racist aunt, who owns condos in Maui that are supposed to be given to indigenous fire victims, cannot stop talking about how the "Don't Come to Hawaii" movement "ruining her livelihood", it's working. Don't ever fucking stop.
