new @iammachinegirl.bsky.social single coming🤛

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Sun roasted potato. 🥔 Photo from my collection, 1954.

They're using a photo from 1992, from LA after the Rodney King verdict.

Do not fall for secessionist propaganda or “Texas is invading Illinois”! Pay attention to who is saying this, who is screwing you over, and what their end goal is.

John Carpenter's 'They Live' (1988) dir: John Carpenter

Two great, weird games that have fun with nostalgia without falling into "the past was better" sparkling conservatism

for everything - out now 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ fourth album, & prob the definitive work so far. closest to what i’ve been seeking this whole time. may you enjoy its stories as deeply as i did in the making, & please jam these jams far and wide ✌️🐈‍⬛

This album fucking rips - weird to call something noisy and chaotic "refined" but it's what it is: carefully engineered destruction.

‘Lessons of Darkness’ (1992) dir: Werner Herzog 📽️

tomorrow 🎶🐈‍⬛

RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. ❤️ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

AI marketing is beginning to echo the makers of player pianos who, a hundred or so years ago, labored (with ads) to convince the public they wouldn't be giving up on their own musicality by letting machines do it for them

This only happens to you once

Ultimately it doesn’t matter whether Britain thinks we are at war with Russia if Moscow already considers itself at war with us, which it does. We either acknowledge the reality of it or bury our heads in the sand, in either scenario, the war for Europe has already begun.

Listen to that purr. She’s so happy that I’m home after being gone for literally one million years (about an hour).

yay release friends @drumcorps.bsky.social always inspires 🖤 and is a genuinely cool human

new album out next week 🐈‍⬛ first tune & preorder ahoy:

fun fact the government only very recently gave up on claiming I committed a felony in the creation of this Sinclair Broadcast Group video in 2018

one of the most important technological revolutions in modern history and you're likely not hearing anything about it because it's making the oligarchs who control our information environment poorer instead of richer

I keep saying this. The Right fundamentally are *not* hypocrites. They believe in double standards. For them, double standards are correct, inevitable, and desirable, because the idea that certain groups are better than others and should therefore have more rights is the basis of right-wing ideology

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.

STUNNING "Traditionally, wearing blankets was functional, but I thought, If fashion evolves, why can’t Native wearable art evolve too? So I used metallic thread to make the blanket shimmer, adapting an old form to a contemporary aesthetic." hyperallergic.com/1014669/mari...

Reminder: So far, globally, we've done exactly nothing about carbon pollution. That is what the data says -- exactly nothing. We're right on (slightly above) the trend in atmospheric concentration extrapolated from 25 years ago.

'Tomasso the cat in the garden' Arthur Rackham

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

it is deeply mentally and spiritually fracturing to be very aware that the global ruling class is, for all intents and purposes, suicidal (and by extension homicidal) while you, an ordinary human being, want to perpetuate life.

Fuckin’ sick

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

Saturday vibe

On the occasion of her birthday, Tove Jansson on an elephant, London Zoo, 1957. Good morning.

Once upon a time a bunch of farmers in the Middle East came to an agreement allowing some slinky local creatures to do pest control for their crop storage. Cut to 9,000 years later: Happy International Cat Day! icatcare.org/internationa...

Happy 808 Day! 🥰

Good read on bands booking tours "in the '80s" but was true for the '90s as well. Booking shows in college circa '95-'98 required lots of long-distance phone calls to bands/agents, finding a fax machine to use (for free preferably), etc. starsafterstarsafterstars.substack.com/p/how-80s-ba...

fellow geeks: linux & audio - what’s good?
