New (old) Plug! "For this release, Luke Vibert unearthed and hand‑picked a collection of previously unreleased jungle and drum & bass gems, sourced straight from his original mid‑90s DAT archive."

Extremely cool #GaussianSplat of the ISS. superspl.at/scene/cc026f6a

did any of the artists on the nyt 30 greatest living songwriters list make a masterpiece about how they dig through the ditches and burn through the witches, and slam in the back of their dragula?

Mail-in Ballots drop next week! ‼️🗳️ Unlike most races in the city, our race in CD11 ENDS ON JUNE 2ND! That means we need your help to get the word out about this race.

Trump’s attempt to crush clean energy progress not going to plan, experts say US generated more power from #renewables like solar and wind than gas last month in a first #cleanenergy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

With all this BoC buzz going around, it’s important not to lose focus on the fact there a new Seefeel LP out this week, and it sounds like it may well be ace bleep.com/release/5774...

It is so surreal to see some current Meta employees already normalize their likely-impending layoffs on May 20 and start portfolio-posting ahead of time. Getting some semblance of your dignity back in the form of a leak that serves as a warning shot. What a fucked up labor environment we live in now

My blanket is more respectfully named The Great Devourer www.ravelry.com/projects/bap.... I spent nearly two years making it from scrap yarn (some of it sent by other Ravelry members!) and plan to feed it more yarn as I finish my other projects.

This is a great resource. The fact of the matter is, if you're in CD11 & either not voting for Faizah Malik or at all, you're letting Nextdoor govern the Westside. Traci isn't just another neoliberal bureaucrat - she's a reactionary ideologue who party-switched Rick Caruso-style. truthabouttraci.com

@alabapsi.bsky.social pulled up this candid from February when I was upgrading my PC w/a new mobo and CPU (and downgrading my RAM cause the newer stuff broke) in order to be ready for whenever I get forced to switch to Win11. Our "trash blanket" made of scrap yarn is a great table scratch absorber.

Lmao, complete agreement from this lifelong Chihuly hater. Boomer pablum

Santa Monica is beautiful -Jacarandas in bloom in Clover Park

If the Vacation Rental Ordinance passes, over 31k units that SHOULD house Angelenos could instead become vacation homes – with no requirement that the owner actually live at the properties. It's a sneaky way to further deregulate short-term rentals. Already almost half of STR’s in LA are illegal!

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

In honor of ten years of VVR, we are pushing an update: better lighting, higher resolution, faster frame rates, achievements, and refined controls. "Would you like to try another headset?!"

Extremely good observations about the vibe out there right now. Like, fuck it sucks that I lost my golden handcuffs but good lord would it suck to still be there right now.

CD11 is by far the most well-funded race in the LA City Council primary, & yet Traci Park is still outraising Faizah almost 3:1. Folks, this is quite literally a battle for the soul of the Westside. Either we let fearmongering, reactionary NIMBYs continue to uphold the status quo, or we fight back.

I've been buying SO many records on #Bandcamp these last couple of months. 26 so far in 2026 alone. Combination of clearing out my wishlist and new emergent stuff. Feels good. It's been a banner year for banger records.

Jackie Robinson grew up in a diverse Pasadena neighborhood, & when one of those neighbors, his baseball teammate Shig Takayama, was incarcerated at Manzanar with his family, the Robinsons helped take care of their home. For my new column, a story of the worst & best of America through baseball. 🗃️

A Westside for All of Us I’m running for city council because the Westside needs an honest leader that will fight for all of us. In just 5 weeks ballots drop! Voting will be open from May 5th until June 2nd. Let’s bring it home.

Postcarding for @faizahforla.bsky.social for CD11 at Fatty Mart rn, come thru!!

New Boards Of Canada, Massive Attack, Tricky & Seefeel, as well as (thanks to re-presses) Rhythm & Sound, Bandulu, Blaze…..you youngsters won’t know that every week was like this in 1995

2 x TB-303 acid synths + TR-909 drums + FX all in the browser. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. airtight.cc/demos/autofunken

Anyone else going to Machinedrum @ Catch One this Friday? Should be a good one. www.bside.show/go/machinedr...

You can now download some of my splats directly from supersplat. I'm adding the daisy flower, to the list. superspl.at/user?id=dany...

I think a lot of people in LA don't really know what the city attorney does or who even holds the office, but Feldstein-Soto is an absolute train wreck and replacing her with Marissa Roy is one of the most important city races this cycle.

I won at VJCC Bingo Night last night!!

The main thing you need to understand about @alabapsi.bsky.social and I’s relationship is that we are both the jester and the goth girl, and we just take turns. What’s bad is when we’re both the same one.

I just created my first #GaussianSplat locally without the use of black box processing stages from Niantic, Meta, Luma etc. cloud servers! No optimization, just a hello world. Gaussian SplatKing -> #RealityScan for COLMAP generation -> #LichtFeldStudio for splat training. superspl.at/scene/867e83e5

I could listen to this lady's voice forever. A single guitar is all you need to accompany this. thebreathmusic.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

I feel like Nine Inch Noize is the vindication of Year Zero that it always deserved.

The 3 things taking up seemingly all of the room in my brain atm: 1. my multi-generational ethnic story & eventually corralling it into a coherent artistic statement 2. immersing deeply into local politics & praxis community engagement 3. skillbuilding around photogrammetry deeper than I have so far

Platform diffusion is emerging as a value moving forward for me. Make your pipeline too spread out across too many different things for any one consolidated vendor to take the whole thing away from you.

The Computer World tour is on my short list of shows I wish I could go back thru a time machine to see in person.

My experience of this post

Blown away by this recent LP from @patrickshiroishi.bsky.social, "Forgetting Is Violent." I've found his work to be vital for years, but this one hits a new level of practice-as-praxis. It's brutally heavy and achingly melancholy. Incredible. patrickshiroishi.bandcamp.com/album/forget...

I feel so threatened by the risk that being a Gaussian Splat Guy will inevitably turn me into a Drone Guy.

The zoetrope picture disc 12” of Sledgehammer is out this Saturday as part of #RecordStoreDay Designed by Drew Tetz and Marc Bessant. Please visit the Record Store Day website to check out the full list of releases and also visit your local record store to see what they plan to order!

People today are more disconnected and lonelier than they’ve been in decades. Here in Los Angeles, our city’s design plays a role in that isolation. Sprawling neighborhoods with few ways of getting around without a car impact our relationships, our sense of community, and how we engage civically.

Trump term 2 is the time of getting things repaired instead of replaced. I invested in fixing up my Subaru at 100k miles instead of an EV, replaced the fan & one of the Joy-Cons on my Nintendo Switch vs buying a 2 & paid $97 (w/o AppleCare!) on a new battery for my iPhone 13 Pro vs 17e or whatever.
