“I love liner notes. There’s few things I enjoy more than to prepare a cup of coffee, put on a great jazz album and then sit down with it all while perusing whatever additional context that slab of text on the back of the sleeve offers.” 📖 Read on ⤵️

This dude has some serious cojones: “My only intention was to express myself,” he told me in his first media interview. “The party installs surveillance cameras to watch us. I thought I could use the same method to watch them.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/b...

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-fi...

FFS, can we please not make the 3/5 clause great again?

Amazing how the biggest and most dominating moral question of our time should also be the easiest to answer: Should a country be allowed to commit genocide? If your answer is anything other than an unequivocal “NO”, you are part of the problem.

Voor wie blijft volhouden dat tegenstanders van zionisme er simpelweg een verkeerde definitie van op nahouden; dit is hoe het anno 2025 door de Israëlische regering zelf gedefinieerd wordt.

Voor de boeren nul komma nul gedaan maar dat is natuurlijk de schuld van bruine mensen.

Kudos to this guy. This is effective resistance. Brilliant in its simplicity. Don’t store the data and it can’t be demanded by the fascists either. Basically the tech equivalent of ‘don’t tell me and they won’t be able to get it out of me’.

Israel is wiping out Gaza’s journalists – and it’s no longer even hiding it | Jodi Ginsberg

Ik heb afgelopen weekend de laatste aflevering van de de serie gezien. Bij het kijken van The Handmaid's Tale hebben we elkaar regelmatig aangekeken zo van: ja, dit gebeurt tegenwoordig ook gewoon echt.

Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

Looks like Jay-Z didn't like having his music used as the background for a fascism-porn ICE ad using Fractur ("the Nazi font") as its font. ICE may be powerful. But corporate copyright lawyers are more powerful still.

Israel not even trying to hide it anymore. Openly admitting it. Lord.

‘Can you tell us how he died?’: Mohamed Salah criticises Uefa over tribute to ‘Palestinian Pelé’

Ah ja, mensen lekker dwingen om door te werken met een gebroken arm en te pissen in een plastic fles. Werknemers intimideren om vooral geen vakbond te vormen. En als klap op de vuurpijl alle mogelijke belastingen ontduiken.

Whoever it was who said that Douglas Adams was the sci-fi writer who really understood where we were headed was absolutely right.

Same old shite. If you’re against the Iraq War you hate America. If you oppose the genocide of the Palestinian people you hate Britain.

I donated. I hope you can too.

De Cambodjaanse gemeenschap in Nederland is niet groot, en concentreert zich voor een groot deel in Oss. Ik ging op bezoek bij één van de eerste gezinnen die zich er in 1984 op de vlucht voor de Rode Khmer vestigden, en sprak met hen over hoe zij het oplaaiende grensconflict met Thailand beleven.

As OP has since realised, this is AI. it's fascinating to me how it messes up in basic ways - watch the timestamp top right, particularly the year. It doesn't, can't, know that's supposed to stay the same.

a sign of just how far the UK press has sunk that the Telegraph and the Spectator are *still* publishing Nina Power a year after comments like this were exposed

Nederland doet alsof het erkennen van de Palestijnse staat een extreme, uitzonderlijke stap zou zijn. In de echte wereld staan we achterin de kleine, slinkende rij van landen die dat halsstarrig weigeren. Dit is een moreel falen. Wíj zijn de extremisten. Bron: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/w...

Note how he tells the VCs this story, but tells the content rights holders a completely different one. If AGI was an effective license to print money in the future they’d be able to borrow money to pay rights holders today. But no, that’s “too expensive”.

It’s long been a dream of mine to write liner notes for a great rap album, ever since I first encountered how classic jazz albums incorporated them. That dream has now come true, thanks to the first ever vinyl pressing Tree’s magnificent WE GROWN NOW. OUT NOW: www.rushhour.nl/record/vinyl...

I distinctly remember watching the first two episodes of the documentary series on Arte around a year ago. And then the show disappeared without warning. Now this article says it’s available on Arte as of August 1, as if it is premiering then. What happened?

If you see this, post Jack Kirby art.
