The Splice blog article about Brazilian Phonk vs Drift Phonk that I gave some comments for came out in October and I missed it until now! Thank you to @estevancarlos.bsky.social for the shout out that led to me being interviewed for this. splice.com/blog/brazili...

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Ah. So fun.

I feel like when the new Boards of Canada drops, it'll be a sign that we're all near the end.

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

🚨 Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago answers this question brilliantly. 1/2

Vibe coding with ChatGPT feels like working with an over-confident jr programmer who's probably using ChatGPT.

You know what I miss? Websites. Easy to navigate, with all the info in one place. They're vanishing, being replaced by Instagram (pretty pics that tell you NOTHING), Tik-Tok, FB, etc. Times are stressful, just give me your hours, rates, product info, product, etc. please don't drain my brain more.

Watching Unsolved Mysteries from the 1990s. This feels relevant today.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

That MPC 3 looking rather interesting when compared to the Push 3... 8 core CPU as opposed to 2 cores. Ability to trigger different note patterns and samples on different quadrants of a single pad. I think that last feature could be built in Max for Live.

Anna Readman is one of the most interesting and talented cartoonist in comics right now imo her inks for our book, Macabre Valley #1, were so good we decided to offer a limited black-and-white artist edition, numbered 1 of 50 as of now there are just 20 left: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

A bit strange. I've created a Max patch to automatically record notes from a Rompler software, so that I resample the samples in a new context (will use on Push 3). So I'm resampling a Orchestral Tools library here.

🙏🙏 Ah the wars will be fought again The holy dove, she will be caught again Bought and sold, and bought again The dove is never free Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in LC

I think we're at the "underground" phase of this period. As far as I'm concerned the pigs are winning. Not morally. Not ethically. They're taking what they want through force, illegality, and coercion. I think the rest of us may need to retreat "underground". My suggestion: put the internet aside.

Meta’s web-to-app tracking proves you’re right to distrust Meta, and we need to end surveillance advertising.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

We feed you. They hunt us.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Not sure where this is going. p5js running in Max Msp 🟦 @estevancarlos.bsky.social @cycling74.bsky.social

My work. Available for design projects.

I tried to post a pretty advanced Google scam report on the /scams sub for Reddit. The mod removed it because I included a real Google number that was used in the scam. I hate Reddit mods. Good luck with this scam folks. My thorough report is no longer published.

Meeting so many folks who want to move out of the U.S.

Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?

I think foreign students should start sarcastically posting on social media, "I love killing in the name of iSrAel! 🤪"

1) Once you start seriously talking "deporting" (that is: forcibly exiling/imprisoning/disappearing) citizens, you are unequivocally fascists &, thus, the baddies. 2) fuck you to any &every single person who said that people concerned about the rise of fascism in the US were overreacting. And 3)…

SCOTUS right now.

Pro Tip: Is your copy of Photoshop running poorly on your system? I just loaded up Affinity Photo and man... performs great. For the life of me I don't understand why PS would be so slow when Affinity offers the same features.

I'm on a Ryzen 5 processor, trying to run Photoshop 2025. Extremely poor performance. Anyone else dealing with that? I'm jumped over to Affinity Photo. Classic, good performance anyone would expect. It's very unclear to me why there's a big difference.

I think the last and final excuse we'll hear from Trump supporters as the economy suffers is, "At least he's doing something" which is about as desperate as you can get. Count on hearing that more in 12months.

Max is a hell of a playground. Building something. Will probably take me a couple months. An experiment.

There is currently no platform for sharing WIP, shortform audio/music on social media, that isn't ina video format.

Me in the national security group chat.
