This was basically my entire experience of their album, Boxer.

I made a long video about technocapitalism and AI music youtu.be/U8dcFhF0Dlk?...

A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying. With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an

Note to folks outside of the US who are buying into the propaganda that Americans "aren't doing anything." People turned out today in -22 C weather for this protest, which was one (huge and wonderful and inspiring) action among many that happen every damn day.

We interrupt your daily doomscrolling for a ferret wearing glasses, a sweater and a cute lil' headcover.

This is so unbelievably cool and inspiring.

Information these days is pretty easy to share, but that doesn't mean it's accurate. Highly recommend reading up on the SIFT method to try to sniff out misinformation. A bit of effort is required, but caution in sharing info is key. guides.lib.uchicago.edu/c.php?g=1241...

Good song. I've posted it before but it bears repeating. youtu.be/j2YgDua2gpk

Cory Doctorow is great. @eff.org and their work is critical. For my European friends, this sort of work is important and I'd encourage you to check out the video. youtu.be/39jsstmmUUs

So I've spent hundreds of hours playing Hitman because it's one of the best puzzle games out there. I've got a layman's interest in speedruns and honestly the runs in this video were some of the most insanely creative I've *ever* seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Q3...

My own submission to this particular chain. I love this album *so much*.

“By reading this plaque, you have made a valuable addition to the number of people who have read this plaque” … an important heritage moment on the streets of Toronto (by artist Sarah Lazarovic).

From @ironspike.bsky.social Maybe pouring your heart out to a chatbot hosted externally is a *bad* idea. This details a VPN exfiltrating what are supposedly "private conversations" (lol), but to be clear: any chatbot platform could do this on their own. www.koi.ai/blog/urban-v...

A favorite of mine. A series of variations on "The People United Will Never Be Defeated!" by Frederic Rzewski. Meditative in places.

i stand by this statement every year

And it's not even close.

Advocate for transit/housing reform, become a pro-privacy and pro-digital-rights lobbyist, build open source copyleft software to fight back against subscription culture.

I'll keep mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, pies. Gravy can come too. Everything else is gonna get launched into the sun.

EFF is focused on your data privacy. That means opposing law enforcement’s all-too-easy access to commercial data brokers and the illegal sharing of your info held by the government. takebackctrl.org/reclaim-you...

How many torment nexuses are we going to invent. How much per month are you willing to pay to talk to a fake version of your dead family member living on some corporate server. How long until a faceless tech companies reading off an ad script is pretending to be your mentor and parent.

This moment demands fighters, not folders.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench. She's expected to rule on a request for a preliminary injunction governing the use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

I can't endorse this highly enough. If Lina Khan were to run for president, I would vote for her in a hot minute. To have her in a position directing policy development once more is a huge win for the people of NYC and the USA more generally.

Tonight is a great night. More work to be done obviously but a good start. Cope and seethe, Playgolf Shitler.

As a Chicagoan it's against the law for me to be happy for/envious of NYC, but I'll allow it tonight, as a li'l treat

Learning how to surf on the Bluesky Firehose API to groove on the wave of good vibes tonight. It's a good time.

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

The last 2 weeks saw major cloud outages from #AmazonWebServices and #MicrosoftAzure affecting thousands of websites. As @ceciliarikap.bsky.social and I argue in @tribunemagazine.bsky.social this event is a wakeup call about the security risks of tech dependency. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/11/why-...

I see you, New York. Well done.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The real torment nexus is the friends we made along the way

Nice.

Crain’s is good about revenue sources and splits www.chicagobusiness.com/politics/tra... I believe the parts not discussed above (parking reform, land development authority, etc.) are largely retained from May

me, examining a video thumbnail and caption from an Instagram/TikTok/FB link sent to me, to figure out an appropriate reaction instead of explaining I don't use those sites, and can't watch what they sent me 🐶💭

You heard the man, New York. Now is your chance to get rid of Andrew Cuomo. Do your thing.
