This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

I will repeatedly say this as someone who understands this concept well. It is ultimately cheaper and more productive to hire competent people and pay them well to do the job instead of having them take apart and completely redo the work of an incompetent person, or in this case, a shitty computer.

The racist extremists are on the move. Just like they did in Charlottesville. On Sept 13 they will try and take over Christie Pits where people fought the Nazi thugs in 1933. Show the world that Toronto will not put up with race-haters. Peaceful gathering:Christie Pits park 12:30 this Saturday.

Under the word "cool" in your dictionary! Happy 95th Sonny Rollins!

New Harlem is developing some new works with prominent hip hop elements. We are looking to broaden our casting pool and our community of practice. Emcees who act Actors who rap We would like to hear from you form.jotform.com/251975605075... Soft Deadline: August 21, 2025

Happy 28th birthday to Funcrusher Plus -- still one of my favourites to this day. And CoFlo's set here for CMW that summer was as good as we all hoped it would be

There's been overnight break-ins 2 nights in a row @ Alumnae Theatre. Venue & #FringeTO companies performing there have had 1000's of $ worth of equipment stolen. I hear an assistance fund is planned (through @fringe-toronto.bsky.social ?), but in the meantime, buy ALL their merch. #TheaTO #ComedyTO

A CBC podcast I did the music (and some sound design) for last summer won silver today at the National Media Awards. Congrats to the team. #ShortSighted

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Happy Birthday Prince… wherever cool place you are!

The first show of the summer for local #hiphop. Come out to Sauce @ Danforth & Greenwood tonight and help celebrate the release of TNBTZ' new album, Back 2 Basics w/ a STACKED lineup of local producers. The first set starts at 8:30, and there's no cover. NOTE: No subway out there all wknd 😒 #BeatSky

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

The set times for tonight’s show at the Baby G. Come on out! #hiphop

COME TO THE BABY G THIS THURSDAY NIGHT! It's the 2nd instalment of ALL IN TOGETHER, which brings together beatmakers, emcees, visual artists and dancers. The first one was a great time and I'm excited to be on this one. Advance tickets here: dice.fm/partner/dice... or pay at the door.

just remembering Toronto Police hiding their badges during the G20, and then "forgetting" who was on duty that day, and then both federal and provincial, Liberal and Conservative governments agreeing to give everyone a pass, and Bill Blair is still an MP, yes I'm still angry about it

Matt Chamberlain from Soundgarden plays those perfect drums on Macy Gray’s I Try. My mind’s a little blown that I never knew that.

I’m the new pope! I wanted to let my 31 Bluesky followers hear it first. It’s me!

My set from this past Saturday at the Ambassador: youtu.be/xyBB9TccZD4?... #BeatSky #SP404 #hiphop

Okay. Tell me everything about Leon Michaels. I’m just flying into him (that I know of) and everything he makes is fire. WTF

If you think the Endangered Species Act is good, actually, and we shouldn’t gut it, comments are open here (scroll to the bottom): ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-0...

Okay. I binged S3 of #Yellowjackets in 24 hours like a lunatic. I haven’t read fan reactions or theories yet, but does anyone else think they’re prepared to not get renewed? Like if this is all we get it’s resolved-ish?

#Voted early. Quick & easy.

Yo my music is back on streaming! Search COLDFINGERZ on your app of choice and I should be there. At the very least I’m on Apple Music already

@ptrnslct.bsky.social w/ a hot night on the 25th. Come to Ambassador Pizza the next night for their 3rd beat night (I'm playing at it), and on Sunday the 27th, Adria Kain is the guest curator at Loop Sessions at It's Okay. Score the hat trick and attend all three, ya lunatic!

On my way to the Ambassador Tavern at Bloor & Delaware for their second beat night, armed w/ some boom bap for the kids. Pull up and give your neck a workout

There is a famine again in Gaza- no aid is getting in and electricity and water are severely limited. So if Gazans on here seem more persistent than usual please remember they are desperate and treat them how you’d hope someone would treat your family.

Five years ago, Breonna Taylor was murdered. She should still be alive. We will not forget. #SayHerName

TORONTO’S NEW LANDLORDS: They’re ultra-rich, predominantly American, and over the next 8 years they’re bringing 21,000 units without rent control to a new building near you. ✍️: Emma Paling www.westendphoenix.com/stories/toro...

I’m all caught up on #Severance and prepared to discuss, btw

Hi #Toronto. Do you like live #hiphop? Some dates coming up: Thursday the 13th: All in Together @ the Baby G. @ptrnslct.bsky.social & Sound Legends Co at Midnight Arcade, AND AZ, Conway & Raz Fresco at the El Mo. The 22nd = the second Ambassador Pizza beat night (I’m playing at that one)

So it’s supposed to rain hard and flood here tomorrow and then freeze on Thursday. If you had an ice storm on your bingo card, cash in!

New project. A wooden box of interesting-sounding things for #sounddesign and #scoring that lands somewhere between these two examples. Currently figuring out the best way to sum multiple piezos to one output for pre-amping. Trying to do it all on the cheap cheap.

Two things about Loopsessions Toronto (who I don't think are on here yet): Happy 6th anniversary to them. You can hear their 6th anniversary mixtape on SoundCloud here: soundcloud.com/loopsessions... (I've got a beat on it and your man Intelx from @ptrnslct.bsky.social did the mix). 2nd thing? ⬇️

I got to see this short last summer, and I can't recommend it enough. Super creepy, but also making a larger and important point, AND it's funny! Want to see it for free on Tuesday Feb 25th in the relative safety of your own home? Tap in below.

I caught a matinee of Cap 4 the other day. All the MCU movies I love are funnier than this one and get me in the feels more than this one. Anything else I want to say’s a spoiler. 7/10?

apple, i will never finish setting up my iPhone if the last thing to set up is apple intelligence. adrew

People who didn’t understand Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime show also don’t understand how tariffs work.

on.soundcloud.com/14e39yiESkK2... Last night at the @ptrnslct.bsky.social Open Aux I did a set where all the samples were from #DavidLynch movies and #TwinPeaks It was a labour of love because I’ve been a fan since I was a teen and his death hit me hard. Enjoy #beats #hiphop #SP404 #beatsky

Thinking about how there's an election in Ontario right now and it's barely making the news. Disturbing as hell.

Trayvon Martin would’ve been 30 years old today.

Hot lineup. I’m fired up. Excited to play with all this talent, and DATSUNN makes it super crazy. Great bill, @ptrnslct.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

Thumbs up on this #FantasticFour teaser. The tone feels right and everybody looks good. And finally: comic accurate GALACTUS 🔥

A dreamy #beat I made last weekend #hiphop #beatsky

Happy 25th, Voodoo 🔥

I'm back at it this March doing beats & sound design w/ Pressgang Theatre as part of Factory's season.

Sounds like Ambassador Pizza’s first beat night was a success. I’ll be at the next one. Hopefully the venue had a good night too. Bring beats - buy pizza!
