Imagine being one of the many folks laid off from Amazon's gaming division today, reading this, and realizing the people who run your business unit are some of the most well-paid idiotic motherfuckers around. If I was this guy, I would never, never, ever admit I was this guy.

Within me there are two wolves…

On the latest @junkfilterpod.bsky.social, the film writer Del Winters (@absolutereality.blog) joins me for a deep (and spoiler-filled) dive into Ari Aster’s EDDINGTON. Watch the movie first! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

Had a blast talking with ecstatic black metal superstars @agriculturemusic.bsky.social for @stereogum.bsky.social about all the many inspirations in music, queer literature, and art that influenced their amazing upcoming record The Spiritual Sound

Billionaires will save us ::sweatemoji ::questionmark ::exclamationmark

People are very Steve Bannon about AI, zealously flooding the zone with shit.

Springfield’s heat wave continues, with today’s temperature exceeding the record for this date, set way back 4 billion years ago when the Earth was just a ball of molten lava.

My much anticipated appearance on the Empire Never Ended podcast @tenepod.bsky.social has finally dropped! We chat all things James Mason and the figures around him. www.patreon.com/posts/323-al...

BTW, our new guide on protesting safely in the age of surveillance is unpaywalled. From phone safety tips to just how much law enforcement can track your movements, take a look at the guide:

Fuck I.C.E. I.C.E. Baby

lol my local polling station was staffed by a MAGA anti-abortion Jesus freak I recognized from flat earth rallies. She cosplays as a racist male groyper on the Internet. I assume she was there to make sure votes aren’t stolen.

If you don’t know about the Dominican Pentecostal preachers are you even a real noise head?

On this day we remember that he died for us and was indeed resurrected

Rejecting the banality of evil. Thread 🧵 on 'Duet' (DS9 S1E19) by Elia Ayoub @ayoub.bsky.social

Use Signal, not social media.

Blessed be any barista that trusts NTS to colour a cafe environment. I sometimes lament the conclusion of Brave New Waves in the 2000s and then I remember NTS exists. Legendary stuff. I cannot think of a higher musical bar for casual playback.

Was Abram the original gamer? The Lord gave unto him a tedious fetchquest: "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon," then a darkness came over him? If this arc played out anything like in The Long Dark, I'd buy that.

I think I underestimated how much things like "watch how a saxophone is made while someone narrates it on the saxophone" positively affected my creative perception. This is what kids TV should be all about.

Their lighting rig has been busted as far back as I can remember. Hopefully Autechre fix this issue when they return to North America later this year.

We have been criminalized. Put on your pink rags. Pride Was A Riot, Sac stands in solidarity with @preciouschild.bsky.social and the silencing of her art by US Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Share far and wide to piss off a transphobe.

The only thing wrong with my bsky timeline is no one I follow seems to post about electronic music so I missed the new Aphex Twin. Thank you so much Mr. James and Mx. Warp for the yuletide acid.

Damn the Doechii Tiny Desk was off the charts. The band and mix was impeccable and so richly detailed. Wow. I'm gonna be returning to this one often.

Every cartoon depiction of cops being dangerously inept buffoons is correct

One patch from Autechre's new live sets sound like it's accelerating into an event horizon before re-assembly. There were at least a half dozen variations in 2024. My favourite was played in Paris.

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller November 24,1958

Boss privately asked if I was going to leave a trans flag on my door all the time on transgender day of remembrance. Little does he know I'll be asking why this was an issue during the next staff meeting.

RW accounts responding to Mtl saying "Are we really gonna sit around and allow this shit to happen on our streets" is the purest expression of the empty container for grievance that has driven the anti-mandate and anti-liberal movement for the last few years. Follow the bouncing ball.

Listen to TRANSA. This labour of love is an epic journey best experienced together. As much as I appreciated the singles published before release day those songs feel more natural in sequence. There's so much history and affirming artistry here without a note of artifice. Thank you, Red Hot.

Heart rending and beautifully affirming. I’m not crying, you’re crying. youtu.be/IFMmnMjFiPk

This echo chamber nonsense is predicated on the notion that bigotry is a valid perspective. It isn’t. Grow up! Think better!

If your place of work offers anti-racist or bias training lead by white people make it your job to shut that down. Those leaders are no better than HR. They’re there to placate white guilt and reinforce your place below power. I told mine I wouldn’t listen to another white person tell me about race.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

Very nice of Disco Elysium devs to make a collage feature that gave me exactly what I wanted right out of the box.

Anti-Imperialist Filipino-American hip hop artist Bambu de Pistola’s latest album “If You See Someone Stealing Food… No, You Didn’t.” is even more fire than his 2020 release, which I didn’t think was possible. bambubeatrock.bandcamp.com/album/if-you...

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source

It only took a little north of one hour to comfortably migrate from X and set up a better timeline.
