Really need to buy a bicycle again. Anyone in RVA have a nice touring bike for sale? I'm done with my road racer days. 20k+ miles hunched over is enough lol.

Can't wait to get rid of my gas stove & water heater & convert the house to solar, but the chances of me being able to afford that any time soon are slim.

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention is warning the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo could become the worst in history, as the number of confirmed cases in ⁠the country has ​increased to 837.

Remember when I said that the DC primary was worth watching? The President said that if Janeese Lewis George, a Democratic Socialist, won the election, the federal government would intervene. Time to pay attention.

And just as the right wing turned to anti-abortion in the 90s when it finally had to give up anti-desegregation, anti-trans rhetoric works today where anti-gay marriage and anti-desegregation once did

Still going through the James "Blood" Ulmer offerings in honor of his passing. Found this one with Charles Burnham on violin. Serious "festival stage" shit! youtu.be/XzAgsr3ZrXQ?...

I want my shit to play on the numbers station. I want my shit broadcast illegally over ham radio. Put me in the ultra high frequencies and let me talk to god. That's where the magic happens.

Any of you radio or writer types who didn't get the promo for the upcoming Soliton album, holler at me!!

Good piece in the new @tapeopmagazine.bsky.social on recording Fela Kuti.

i will say it again: “grieving” a child (in this case a 30-year-old fully grown adult) for being gay/trans because you expected and wanted something different for them is a sign of a bad parent and should be widely regarded as unacceptable

Abdullah Ibrahim (9 October 1934–15 June 2026) The South African pianist and composer has died aged 91. By way of tribute we have made two articles free to read in our online library: Graham Lock’s 1984 interview, and Ibrahim’s own Epiphanies column from 2021. www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/t...

s/o to our ex-CIA field officer of a governor who is owned by Dominion Energy for once again throwing the environment and the people under the bus. Corporate representation like this is how we're successfully killing the planet.

When I say that the US continues to be the model even as Europeans loudly declare their revulsion at US policy, this is a great example of what I mean.

this is another reason AI is being crammed down our throats, it is methane gas tech

anybody have recs for a decent midi drum controller? I don't want a kit and I don't need a sampler. I don't need anything to interface with fucking Ableton live or whatever. I need some pads that I can hit with a stick to send a midi signal to another piece of hardware and that's it.

RIP Abdullah Ibrahim. This ended up being his last album, in 2024, and it’s rarely been out of rotation on my various devices since it came out.

RIP to a king

These are all great albums. Sunshine of my Soul (1967) with David Izenzon & Elvin Jones should be considered one of the all time great piano trio albums.
