This reminds me of what Quincy Jones said about Kanye West when people compared them as producers.

Oh god are we doing the 90s album thing AGAIN

Putting the fact that this is and always has been an empty threat aside, the objective framing of this “story” is that the ultrawealthy are crying at the *difficult prospect* that the most successful and unchallenged campaign of class warfare in human history may begin to start getting reformed.

"What if there’s no ethical way to have unlimited access to every book, film, and record ever created? And moreover, what if that’s not something we should want?" FUCKING BARSSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥 I'm a CD boy myself but that in no way stands in the way of the point of this article!!!

I’M DYINGGGGG Britney got me Juneau socks for Christmas 😭😭😭

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

The “Radiology Report” cycle from this record gets into some interesting, new, exploratory territory from Ureterocele that I am really enjoying. I also just love the disconnect between how evil and dissonant his music is with what a nice wholesome dude he comes off as.

I went over there to see if Ed Handley and Andy Turner had said anything in the wake of Ken Downie's passing.

Leaving the sub-1K followers domain is liberating in a way that I hadn’t anticipated: the number will only update in hundreds now, going from 1K to 1.1K. I feel liberated of one less source of drip-feed compulsive checking.

Ken Downie, founding member of British electronic group The Black Dog, has died. The group helped pioneer the “home-listening” aesthetic in techno music. FIve-Song Peel Session of The Black Dog recorded December 12, 1994. Length: 31:49. #RIPKenDownie m.youtube.com/watch?v=boTx...

I picked out a new journal format for 2026 where I simply give myself a full page per day to put as much or as little as I am able to without worrying about cramming it down to fit or of going overlong and running out of space. Interested to see if it makes it easier to do every day no matter what.

Worthwhile fresh jungle mixes on YouTube are increasingly rarefied these days, but this is a new all-timer entry. The energy on this is incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJGY...

I strongly believe that one of the most effective ways we can begin to heal the sick soul of our nation is for progressive Christianity to regain visibility in the mainstream. Its total capture by the evangelical right is a tragedy. America needs more Jimmy Carters as a cultural counterweight.

RIP Ken Downie, founding and foundational member of The Black Dog. He was putting out bedroom listening techno bangers until the very end. 💔

Rick Steves continues to be one of the most based human beings on the planet.

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

I’ll say this for George W. Bush: he’s an unindicted war criminal who should spend the rest of his life in prison and if he and his co-conspirators had been made to face consequences, Trump never would have happened.

NYC residents, please help us to demand that the City Council increase and stabilize public library funding. It takes 30 seconds to send a letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/city... - we also need people to follow up with a phone call to your member.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

I finally had a chance to visit the Riot Games campus here in West LA today thanks to @wunk.bsky.social. I know it's probably fuckin' nasty, but I still couldn't help but run my fingers through this keycap wall like it's a fur coat every time I passed by it.

World heritage post imo

YOLOed my way thru the JLPT N5 yesterday, don’t think I bombed & not nailed it either. I have been taking a break from Japanese study for the last 2 months so I had that additionally working against me, but I chose to do N5 and not N4 in the interest of lowering my commitments. Hope I did OK!

One Sun Ra line that circles my skull endlessly is "Somebody else's idea of somebody else's world is not my idea of things as they are."

Home for Thanksgiving, so that means Mandatory Bella Content. #cat

I beat my long-standing #SpellTower high score of 11,001 by like 200 points on the plane Tuesday!! 💪🏼 🛫

I'm quite enjoying this new release "Creature Comforts" from 400 Lonely Things on Cold Spring, one of my fave labels as of late. Super hypnagogic, Boards of Canada-esque, mostly beatless ambient soundscapes that come across like haunted radio transmissions.

Graduated from music school in '11, at the bottom of 2 economic craters (the collapse of the music industry & the 2008 crash). So I knew it wasn't gonna happen. Got into doing art installations & VR in grad school, enjoyed coding in Unity. Somehow I've managed to mostly stay employed since then.

Winter coming early big time this year. I'm never gonna object to cleaning up the freeway-choked air in my neighborhood. 😌

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Man, this is the season of Dark Ambient for me apparently. Can’t get enough. Have been digging deep into Éliane Radigue, recent releases on Cold Spring and Buried Treasure… I guess this is where my brain goes when it rains. tuskisbetter.substack.com/p/so-you-wan...

Yes, and, because I am a resentful creature, I would also like to add: 'You're not a bad artist. You're just on social media.'

Wow, the vibes on this are rancid. Who on Earth decided what Metroid Prime needs is a That Just Happened-ing non-stop yapper NPC? It’s giving Joss Whedon. 2004-ass game www.youtube.com/watch?v=192P...
