That’s me in the garden That’s me in the bonsai Pruning with precision

some cool new microtonal chamber music from Joshua Mastel & Alec Goldfarb is in pre-order on Gold Bolus today alecgoldfarb.bandcamp.com/album/firmam...

Juventud? More like groovin-tud if you ask me.

Great show last night at the Library of Congress with ThingNY performing Raven Chacon and then Raven played a new piece on Morton Subotnick's Buchla 100. Also nice to talk with Raven in person for the first time in 10 years.

great interview with Kristina Warren about the new Gold Bolus album Tusk is up over at @foxydigitalis.bsky.social foxydigitalis.zone/2026/04/09/k...

Turns out thingNY's Saturday show in DC has some (free!) tickets available now: www.loc.gov/item/event-4... and our NYC show on Monday has some (not free but only $22!) tix too: new-ear.org/2026/02/06/t...

How do they Cramsci all that Gramsci?

a week from today, thingNY is at the Library of Congress playing music by Raven Chacon, and Raven will do a solo set too, and then two days later we're all in NYC at Fridman Gallery doing the same program tix still available for the NYC show! (which is masks required) new-ear.org/2026/02/06/t...

A UES street ASPCA hawker just told me “you have immaculate energy”, and while I know it’s just sales tactics, it made me feel nice

So Eric Clapton wrote a song about how after the clock strikes 12am, he’s going to expose himself to everyone?

nice interview w Lily & Chloe Holgate of Sibyl in @thetonearm.com about sibyls past & present, about singing in 2nds, about writing in isolation, etc www.thetonearm.com/sibyl-and-th...

>@gittlitz.bsky.social, the author of a new book, "Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People’s Team," argues that the Mets need to connect with a "political moment" in NYC to succeed.

my most old person yelling at clouds opinion is that it's very rude to not put dashes in when writing out your phone number, like who can parse/read 1112223333? why not write it nicely as 111-222-3333, that's so much better!

There’s a lot more kids named Kobe born after 1996, but you don’t see a bump in Shaquilles after 1992 to the same degree, and that feels backwards to me. Even more so given Shaq as affable pitch dad today.

great read on @thesicktimes.org "While Nichols still had uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms, like bloating, ultimately she said 'pregnancy was a cake walk' compared to the prior four years of Long COVID." thesicktimes.org/2026/03/24/i...

Thread. I'm begging people to realize how much we've already given in just the past 25 years. I'm old enough to remember when surveillance wasn't ubiquitous and before ICE or the TSA existed. There was even a time when the average cop wasn't kitted out for full on urban warfare.

The simultaneous feeling of “I, the one person with a respirator, am intentionally and gleefully haunting everyone here” and “oh god what am I doing here I should leave”

Would you categorize Madonna's "Cherish" as a Purdie Shuffle? I just gotta know.

🎵the world is a vampire / im gonna ride it all night long 🎵

new fun on Gold Bolus, out today: Kristina Warren's last Tusk is accordion + electronics, and there's a whole video part of the album too! kmwarren.bandcamp.com/album/tusk

I love floating in a pool of goop, it's the thing to do (if you ask me)

So this anatomy, you’re telling me that it’s grey?

Zionists have worked so hard to convince everyone that “Jewish = Zionist/Israel supporter“ and have done this while co-signing violence and as anti-Zionist Jews have long said, that propaganda makes Jews less safe on top of justifying the Israel’s violence against Palestinians and other Arabs

thingNY is playing 2 shows of Raven Chacon's music, one in DC and one in NYC, in April. The DC one is at the Library of Congress (which seems like it's not gone to trash, cool) on 4/11 and is sold out (though we might be able to get a few more people in) www.loc.gov/item/event-4...

All I’m saying is I think we need to hear what the gays of Hormuz have to say about all this

I'm out of words here

The Israeli government is expanding its Gaza playbook to Lebanon and Iran with double-tap strikes—illegal back-to-back airstrikes on a single target.

me & @whatcoloris.bsky.social & Gelsey Bell are gonna give a workshop on the music of Robert Ashley on May 5th at Roulette, tix are up now! roulette.org/event/a-work...

It's so telling that these people are rushing to condemn "the campus left" at this moment www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/o...

Feeling glad about the existence of this song, especially the energy at the end, that me & Thee Reps released last year theereps.bandcamp.com/track/espadr...

"Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away...if you truly care about other people, you'll put [a mask] on." We republished illustrator Gillian Levine's comic, "Reasons to mask in 2026" in @thesicktimes.org. Check it out 👀😷 thesicktimes.org/2026/02/27/c...

very beautiful new voices + violin album out today on Gold Bolus from Lily & Chloe Holgate aka Sibyl sibyling.bandcamp.com/album/sibyl

Explicitly capitalist media is telling you that getting/continuing to get COVID is really bad for you and is, mortifyingly, still doing more to warn you than most public health leaders are. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... 🎁 Link below

It can’t be an accident that “feel that move” and “body groove” rhyme !?!?!?!?!

My prediction for 2027: both a Gary Cherone doc and a Gary Cherone biopic

Dear Young People. This post is written for you… Our generation of doctors decided to let you all get infected with a novel virus without even protection from vaccines in many cases, and we already knew that some of you would be killed or disabled for life when we made that decision.

like and wendy will pet the dog

you'd think it's because he's in there too but I suspect it's simply because he's one of the most useless people alive

With NYU Langone desisting from offering trans care, I feel the need to re-up this recent paper about how ‘the evidence is low-quality’ arguments are bullshit and how we can do better when evaluating scientific evidence.

I would like ABBA more if they did more swearing in their songs

yo ho ho AND a bottle of rum??? in THIS economy???

beyond solidarity, hard to describe the loss of this craft. conn selmer has been an evil company infamously ahead of the times monopolizing an industry then outscoring/enshitffying it, broke the UAW over a three year strike ending in 2009 www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna32287...)

How are we feeling about the new york pubic library?

What about a cake made out of turpentine?

The Trump administration has announced it is targeting major LGBTQ+ healthcare centers, threatening to shut them down unless they stop providing trans youth care. It appears to violate, at least in spirit, a court order in Oregon stopping them from doing this. Subscribe to support our journalism.
