Don’t worry now you have to pay Elon to have access to the CSAM/revenge porn bot.

Accusing someone of being sex traffickers doesn’t land very hard when you work for the Trump administration. What are you taking out the competition?

Obsessed with this album recently, the disastrous major label debut of Daniel Johnston with imaginative production and playing by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers: youtu.be/9PSp0iuGY6A?...

Played this on the radio this week. I had grabbed it on a whim at Reckless, most talk about it focuses on the fact it’s a krautrock hoax and definitely wasn’t made in 1975, and very little about how it’s a dark ambient classic up there with Eno’s On Land. youtu.be/P_HRE-DbI2o?...

i love the idea of a guy who’s still been on the edge of getting into jeopardy after 61 years of it airing

I had trouble stopping playing Legend of Zelda last night.

AI guys are like we can’t use it to cure cancer but we can suck all the joy and purpose out of life so that dying isn’t sad

Making dinner while the nation lurches toward civil war…just another Wednesday night.

Drowse/Amulets Two local droney projects I’ve been interested in recently.

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

That video is super fucked up…this country is off the rails.

I would have loved these I Survived series as a kid…instead I had to try and find any and all books about what I truly wanted to read about. Disasters!

it is the seventh day of the new year and we've got ICE murdering civilians, X gleefully producing CSAM/non consensual porn, the kidnapping of a foreign leader, the bluster around Greenland and the potential destabilization of NATO, and I'm sure you all will add more in replies..

Anything goes show this week with Coptic Light,Alice Coltrane,Kali Malone,Mammal,Motion Sickness of Time Travel,Nuno Canavarro,Nazgûl,Angus Maclise,Noisegate,Ennio Morricone,Bohren Der Club of Gore, Borbetonmagus, and Richard Youngs and Simon Wickham-Smith: xray.fm/broadcasts/6...

In memoriam Munehiro Narita. I loved those High Rise records, they sound like someone set a Blue Cheer on fire tossed them in a trash can and then recorded them. Pure rock and roll!

What was that cable station that had a yearly James Bond marathon when I was a kid? Anyways Netflix is uploading them all later this month and I’m reliving that.

Drowse - Light Mirror Was intrigued by his collaboration with the wonderful Ragana, and his mix of slowcore, shoegaze, gloom, and drone on his own disc has drawn me in.

Used to live in Grand Rapids and I got to say it tracks that they are making the news for such an embarrassing reason.

In memoriam Béla Tarr. I attempted a bunch of awkward homages to your work in my attempts at fiction.

Rereading The Hobbit with Gabriel and forgotten how menacing and evil Gollum is in that book with only a hint of the pathetic and tragic that is his portrayal in the trilogy.

Speaking of people who have become monstrous embarrassments to the people they used to claim to be.

Checking up on my buddy Tulsi to see if she’s still holding strong against regime change wars…but it’s apparently been radio silence since her beach yoga photo shoot.

I need to make a definitive list of my favorite failures. Failed tv shows, disastrous amusement parks, botched stores, terrible restaurants, awful snacks and sodas, unwatchable movies, and failed major label releases etc, I just get really interested when something just doesn’t work.

I’ve said it before but the only strategic reason anyone would want Greenland is because they deeply believe the most dire predictions of global warming.

Daniel Johnston - Fun This and the Dead Dog’s Eyeball tribute were my intro to Johnston, but for some reason this ended up on the sell pile in the early 00’s(by that point I had a lot of tapes). So I grabbed a new copy and wondering why I got rid of it!

I can forgive people for not wanting to support Biden and the Democrats but I’ll never forgive people for making me have to think about these fucking losers everyday.

Who saw the Chevy Chase Show filmed in the Chevy Chase theater in its ill fated month and a half run? I think I only saw clips on other shows (I remember the Daily Show saying “Somewhere through a haze of painkillers Chevy Chase is smiling”) making fun of it.

I see The Bottom of the Hill is closing down. I only went there twice when I lived in California but they were two of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen. Arab on Radar and Pink and Brown and then Aislers Set and The Gossip.

MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks If this album existed in the nineties it would have been my hangover soundtrack.

Imagining the US just dropping into Iraq in 2003 and blowing a bunch of stuff up and kidnapping Saddam Hussein and then just leaving and saying his second command is in charge now.

Recent movies I’ve watched with Gareth. The Phoenician Scheme: people seem to have the same tired complaints about Wes Anderson movies for decades now but I like visiting that meticulously constructed alternate reality every year or so.

I thought “Chevy Chase is an asshole” was one of the immutable truths of the universe but apparently some people are just learning this, but anyway I recently rewatched Fletch and you know, it mostly held up.

Maduro was basically Hugo Chávez without the charisma but he got the job because he was the vice president, so now they’ve removed him but the plan is to leave his vice president in charge?

From the Times about Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro: “She helped consolidate his rule while controlling the judiciary and amassing wealth through corruption, experts say.” Hmm sounds familiar maybe the experts can point out another world leader that could be described similarly.

It’s typical of a president who’s domestic policy is flopping to move mainly to foreign policy because American solipsism constantly ignores the destructive rot we’ve allowed that to become (or remain).

I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for in a politician but not having every day be a nightmare of horrors would be pretty high up so someone should run on that

Begrudgingly rewarding one point to the Peruvian Shamans. Hopefully I can add another one soonish?

Daycare grift creep is such a chud that Glemm is scoring off of him,

The Mantles! What a band and what an album!

Lots of highfalutin myths about the Second World War but two of the most destructive moves of the whole catastrophe were mainly because of oil (the invasion of the Soviet Union, and Imperial Japan’s decision to attack the United States and the British Empire).

Was reminded of this band recently. This song is such a jam! Great band: youtu.be/9AZMIdnbqkI?...

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

The good news for Maduro is that he can probably afford a pardon.

Saving this screenshot from Threads as a new reaction image

The future is criminally stupid…

Tony Dokoupil at least has a name that already sounds like a punchline.

Essential Logic - Beat Rhythm News - Waddle Ya Play ? Recent press of this classic that I grabbed while visiting in laws.

Watching this documentary on Netflix and pondering why New Zealand made a tourist attraction of the world’s most active volcano.

Score one for “fuck you, make me”
