Today's gasoline huffing game. Take one (1) huff every time you see me in one of these videos. You can take a break when you get to my set with Drew.

I cannot express to you how completely insane this will be. The last duo set I played with Tatsuya Nakatani fractured my brain. If you don't know Peni's work, now's the time my dudes. I saw Peni play a set a year and a half ago that was so good I'm still thinking about it on a regular basis.

I am an "other agency or caller, citizen" but this is not about me.

Super annoying my oven doesn't even go to 700°F. What's the point of having poisonous earth destroying methane gas being pumped into my house if it stops at 550°?

Are traditional music making machines like freezers, washing machines, etc losing jobs when AI starts making music?

Unfortunately, a large part of the Virginia redistricting battle that isn't talked about is consolidation of power in the well-connected and well-funded. In Virginia, well-funded == bought by Dominion Energy.

This video shows a time-lapse of the star’s surface, where giant, hot bubbles of gas — 75 times the size of the Sun — are seen appearing on the surface and sinking back into the star’s interior. All images featured in this video are real images taken with ALMA.

#PPOD: Astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star R Doradus were obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in July and August 2023. 🧪 🔭
