I’m going to become the fucking joker

And the same is as true for AI music or film.

Both goddamn RI senators. God frigging damn.

I'm in a union. I have "good insurance." I just spent an hour finding out what my cost will be for something. Rather a lot, it turns out.

I have hopped on the Bandcamp Friday bandwagon with the release of "Infra Brut," a recording of my concert at Boston City Hall. As an added treat, I've included both stereo and binaural mixes! (The binaural is a very fun listen on headphones.) retributionbody.bandcamp.com/album/infra-...

the *precise* number of democratic votes required but it's probably just a coincidence like it was the other times it happened

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

I don't believe in labels but my friends do

Someone gonna tell this kid about glue factories and the freedom of being a beast of burden whose labor is no longer needed?

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

36" of snow in Providence. Back of the envelope math says we moved 2.4 tons of snow. God only knows when the street will be plowed.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files

From: Cannon Fodder (1995), dir. Katsuhiro Otomo, Studio 4°C This film was designed to flow without hard cuts -- the camera just goes and goes and goes

Man, this is right out of some dystopia novel

"The ghost story, in other words, will always, on some level, fail to capture the haunting, just as the algorithm will always fail to capture the life." Well this was brilliant. I always feel simultaneously smarter and dumber after reading Colin's work.

Yet another indictment of the United States health system that James Van Der Beek’s wife and six kids need a gofundme because his unsuccessful cancer treatment destroyed them financially www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Sundown towns exist in Canada too! Racist ideologies don't know borders.

I think my favorite shot in this is at 33:43 where you can see the driver of the infrasub and the glass behind me moving in perfect sync.

Ear bugs have a complicated reproduction cycle where they leave the ear to lay their eggs on hi-fi equipment. This is why people think music sounds better after buying fancy cables despite there being no change in the sound from the speaker, the cables have millions of ear bug eggs on them.

DHS employees commit more crimes per capita than undocumented immigrants.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Fascism is the cult of suicide. Until recently, America was one of the few large nations *not* facing population & then economic collapse. Why? Immigration! People wanted to come here. Now, we’ve lost ~7 million future people over the past year because Trump is stabbing the US with a rusty spoon

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Tomorrow! The last day of my residency at Fall River MoCA. The gallery opens at noon, with an hour of sonically enhanced meditation from 4 to 5.

Unbelievable

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Most "homebuilders" now are a general contractor who throws together an ad hoc team of freelancers and subcontractors with minimal long term coordination. 1/

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Never mind jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university. 1. Aural Perception of Timbre and Space 2. Acoustics and Psychoacoustics 3. Computer Applications In Music 4. Recording Studio Repair and Maintenance 5. Recital Attendance

I think we need to bring back the dream that went unfulfilled a few years ago: we need to get Ilhan Omar a Gundam.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

I feel like when folk music starts getting this good again it’s usually a pretty good indicator that shit is FUCKED

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

Abolish ICE! For your printer, in both color and black and white.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Cannot stress enough that the Dems are fully collaborating with Republicans on this front. They don't have an alternative vision on immigration, only a politer version of maintaining the lie of an immigration problem. They have no interest in reform.

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.
