@sonemic.com rateyourmusic.com/release/albu... #RYMbestof2025 - thanks Sonemic / RYM for being a great place to discover, share about, and catalogue my music. I wonder if it would ever be possible to have direct import from bandcamp rather than manual additions?

This is the Trump thug who wants to deny due process rights to everyone else. Turns out he was being investigated for taking $50k cash in an illegal scheme, but Trump’s DOJ dropped it. This double standard and corruption is infecting our justice system.

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney. Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵

Picked this up from Room40 yesterday - wasn't expecting swells of Berlin school arpeggiation and improvised modular melodies. Really visual and open-world feelings.

@sonemic.com any updates about since access while on a VPN? I've been contributing to the site for going on 3 decades but can never access it these days...

As a budget conscious audiophile, TOZO Golden X1s are the best LDAC Bluetooth earbuds I've heard. Impressive sound and surprisingly affordable. Once you get a good good seal, you will experience a warm and richly detailed soundstage. Solid noise canceling as well. Sounds good for calls + ANC too.

@brightwood83.bsky.social John F., this a tribute my friend. I savored our hours-long conversations, your open mind with virtues of curiosity and generosity. I especially appreciated the times where you challenged me to reassess my assumptions and biases. Cheers brother, you'll be missed here.

Folks, it is not too late to dial back your exposure to surveillance capitalism, but you need to be ready to trade convenience for privacy and security.

Have had this track from @flcartographer.bsky.social stuck in my head for weeks so you know it must be good Rhomboid Storm Clouds from Dreamtides - has that Berlin school voyaging feel Really enjoyed the @vayseesyav.bsky.social interview as well

Solid guide to breaking up with big tech that originated on Mastodon - If you've made the jump to BlueSky but haven't engaged with the Fediverse yet - such as thru Lemmy or Mastodon, I highly recommend checking it out. Decentralized and less about hot takes --

Always disliked Pinker, but he's found a new basement here.

Taking recs on RSS readers. So far Newsblur seems good!

Some rabbit photos for your benefit

Protesters go after ICE in Arizona 🧵

What is @bsky.app 's position on ad revenue? I'm hoping I'm investing my time in a space that can remain free of enshittification, because it seems to be going well here so far!

Stop using google. With AI summaries, you’re also increasing the energy and water use for search by 5-30 times. Small amounts add up. github.com/searxng/sear... Public instances: searx.space

'Bewitching, mysterious and emotive, the album speaks of an experience of techno as a strange vessel for supreme transcendence. An ultimately human experience rooted firmly in the liberating power of the dancefloor' Shell~Wave by Surgeon is tQ's Album of the Week buff.ly/vsDnwUb

"Not only the man himself, but all his worldly goods may as well be won, merely by allowing that man the temporary ownership of a few talismans and formulas." - Michael Shea, A Quest for Simbilis A great example of pithy social critique you can find in the Dying Earth literature of Smith, Vance etc

Literally defying a 9-0 ruling by his majority Supreme Court, thus destroying the fundamental base of the constitution and ushering in outright fascism l.

MA MA MA MA MASTERPIECE. #Andor

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

new album is the next in my series of "Dying Earth" themed experimental electronic releases themed around the works of Gene Wolfe, Jack Vance and Clark Ashton Smith. The processes used to create the music involve complex interlocking sequences + improvisation - IDM, Berlin school & industrial.

Holy hell - the new one from @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com is ripping a hole in the space time continuum this morning Blistering beauty. 🔥 Gorgeous artwork in the flesh too
