hey, today's the 11-year anniversary of The Wonky Angle, so I decided to go back and cover an old favorite of mine Future Loop Foundation - Memories From A Fading Room (Album Review & Catalog In Brief) [TWA Anniversary] youtu.be/iMrjZgjEtQ4

uBlock origin to the fucking rescue Add this to your custom filters to get around this bullshit gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e2...

My new album 'The Fragile Hours' is out today. ffm.to/the-fragile-...

EU buddies i am Actually begging you to email the fuck out of your MEPs and tell them to vote no on this shit. this Cannot pass.

Discord needs to be bullied once again for not learning their lesson. Hit them where it hurts and end your Nitro

yeah sure why not. there was an attempt bsky.app/profile/nave...

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

Some Requests I Missed, Vol. 1 (Fatboy Slim, Pole, Vitalic, Machine Girl... *sigh* Chainsmokers...) youtu.be/jZ-nkVVq7fY

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

patreon people get a very long-awaited thing early www.patreon.com/TheWonkyAngl... [note: requests are NOT open yet, they'll be open when this video goes public tomorrow]

Call your Reps, even if they're not there right now you can leave a message, trust me, they do see those. You don't have to be eloquent, you don't have to make a good argument, this isn't debate club, just say "Vote No on this bill," and that's all you need.

so... I've finally finished writing that promised Patreon request roundup. 20 segments, 3 and a half months of work, 38 pages in google docs (about the same length as my most recent SSIM roundup). stay tuned for that soon requests are NOT back open yet, but they will be once that video goes public

If you are an EU citizen, you need to contact your MEPs and demand that Chat Control be opposed

So I've observed more of this discourse on multiple sites, and there are a lot of fascinating elements that have popped out around music critic credentialism and poptimism... And what keeps rising to mind for me is... "If there were more critics at Fantano's size, so much of this just goes away."

BREAKING: Wikipedia workers in Britain are setting a global first by becoming the first group of workers at the online encyclopaedia to seek union recognition.

went to a fun concert last night (Alison Moyet / Soft Cell / The Human League), I'd post a clip here but I discovered that every single clip I took had no audio no idea how tf that happened

just listened to that most recent Yes comeback against all my better judgment and actually found it to be something of a pleasant surprise, here's the update I added to the pinned comment of my old ranking

Listen we still dont have any concrete info on when or even IF Discord will actually implement Age verification, but the biggest reason theyre considering it at all is the looming threat of US legislation like KOSA and more Please contact your legislators and voice your opposition towards them

Not gunna lie everyone bully discord about this again right now but moreso than last time so they stop it

new Patreon text post for this Missouri artist's collection of immersive emotional ambience and really impressive sound design, moments that remind me of Secede, Seefeel, OPN, BoC, System 7, and more. borderline great www.patreon.com/TheWonkyAngl...

to everyone who thought my music sounded like ai slop, did you ever think it was because Suno was using a dataset that contained 22 of my songs? it’s funny how there were no accusations of my music sounding like ai slop until these datasets started getting used to generate slop

re: getting your paypal nuked (or stripe, your bank account, any visa/mastercard access, etc) Please report your experience to the FTC and the OCC. They're already under pressure for debankment and we want to stress how important this is (and once again, the OCC mentioned adult entertainment)

somewhat neat news: The Wonky Angle finally has more subscribers than my old YTP channel 256PiAlternate (still about 5 million views behind, but hey neat for a bit more of a reflection of how much more work has gone into this channel over the past several years)

Thank you for exposing me to such great music over the years @256pi.bsky.social Next to my immediate family, you're probably my biggest influence in what I like. Your YTPs always had the best soundtracks.

A ban on social media for under 16s would likely require *everyone* to prove their age in order to use social media platforms, which means handing biometric data over to commercial tech companies. www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas...

Want some good news? Just found out the SAVE act died again in the Senate. It was close, but your pushbacks and your calling and your rage worked. They wouldn't be working overtime to silence all of us if it didn't matter. Keep fighting, keep resisting. 💪

My new instrumental album is now available at Beezy430.com Vinyl, CDs, & merch. Go cop something if you can

"what was your biggest impact on the internet" I mean, pure numbers wise, michael rosen version of the steamed hams meme www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzIz... may have helped pioneer/popularize that particular style of Rosen YTP on the side too bsky.app/profile/patr...

The Field - Now You Exist (EP Review & Catalog In Brief) youtu.be/y-ZhxsFjgSQ

One MUST resist the urge to lolcow. I'd call it one of the most important urges to resist on the contemporary internet, actually

been whittling away at that big Patreon request roundup I promised over the past several months, 12 of the 20 segments are written atm and the script is 23 pages so far. think this might end up being a big one

I couldn't resist, I just fished another one.

Just as an aside, note how neither Patricia Taxxon or Ana Valens are lolicons themselves, yet they still get dragged and pedo-jacketed. This was never about lolicon, it's always been about spreading the net as wide as possible so they can get away with de-personing as many people as possible.

the way certain trans women are treated on this platform for wording themselves poorly, even by supposed leftists, has me half considering quitting social media altogether and limiting contact to yt comments and email istg none of this personally affects me but man it ticks me off to watch

Catalog In Brief: Venetian Snares youtu.be/DWvb8DjU5s0

just finished recording a new catalog in brief video this was the one artist in my current plans for the format that I'd already covered once before and wasn't fully satisfied with the way I handled it back in the day, stay tuned for that

This passed the house today, so now is the time to call our senators (and yell at our house reps if they voted for it) This bullshit bill is an assault on trans people and on every kid’s right to read and see the world as it exists. Reps.fyi

People who are into weird and fucked up impossible fictional kinks online, no matter how grossed out you are by them, are less dangerous and harmful to other people than the average Republican or the average Joe Rogan listener.
