Can anyone identify the composer? www.icporchestra.com/todaysarchiv... let @marquismorse.bsky.social know

Possibly an odd job search question, but I haven’t looked for a job in 15 years so….. Cancer survivors, how much of your history to you mention as a baseline ‘if you hire me, expect I’ll be out for scans x times a year’ or am I overthinking this? TIA for any thoughts

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

As human-driven climate change makes winters shorter, ticks are spending less time hibernating and have more active months when they can hitch rides on animals and people. Sometimes the ticks carry themselves — and diseases — to new parts of the country.

Greg Kelley! Mike Watt! Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand ! What more could you ask for?

"It was the kind of label that gave you releases you had no idea you needed... a revelation machine." A celebration of the late Portland-based label owner John Whitson's uniquely eclectic vision. Dave Segal acts as our psychedelic explorer, guiding us through highlights of Holy Mountain's catalog:

This is a beautiful and crushing essay. Read it if you love records and music.

I think about my path all the time. “Will I ever have the chance to really feel what it feels like to perceive the world from [someone else’s] point of view?”

I’ve listened to the new Lucrecia Dalt a lot, but tonight was the first time I heard it on the PA at work after everyone left the bar. It’s a toss up whether or not I cry when I hear her performance in NYC. So good. Thx @lucreciadalt.bsky.social lucreciadalt.bandcamp.com/album/a-dang...

So how are all my former gifted and talented kids who used to read several books a day and now rot their faculties doomscrolling while ignoring a TV show doing tonight

Can’t stop listening to this really killer slowed cumbia playlist, thinking about you @dirtgod.bsky.social Dactylian & Palo Santo Discos 19th May 2025 | Listen on NTS

The new Lucretia Dalt record ‘A Danger to Ourselves’ is a stunner. Wholly its own work, endlessly inventive, bridging pop, experimental, modern classical and electronic. Such an exciting work, can’t wait to see her live at Lincoln Center. @lucreciadalt.bsky.social @rvngintl.bsky.social

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

One of the most exciting things about the California cam is watching snakes return, year after year. Petunia was pregnant in 2021, the first year of the cam, again in 2023, and this year we got to watch her emerge from the den with her brood of 5 little wigglers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjYz...

An absolutely brilliant body of work.

Well look at that.

I really just think everyone needs to read more books and then get maybe pizzas as prizes for reading those books.

Wrote about the new Titanic record for @treblezine.bsky.social - it's fantastic

Listen to me: Our profit from the post office is the post office. Our profit from a library is the library. Our profit from a school is the school. And our profit from our lives is life. Our life. Ours.

Well, this is extremely my shit, let’s go

I plugged it yesterday, but please consider joining LUCE or donating to support their work. www.lucemass.org

Stop scrolling right now and take 30 seconds to put the number in your phone so you have it if you need it

Didn’t know this video existed lol. It’s like a avant garde shreds video. Love the part where the museum docent politely asks him to stop.

Literally the second meme I've made in my life.

With ICE increasing its presence in and around Boston, I thought I'd repost this helpful guide for reporting ICE sightings in an effective way. Remember: S.A.L.U.T.E. You can report sightings to LUCE Mass at 617-370-5023 (the holine operates from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. in multiple languages)

Whoa

Massachusetts is outdoing other states because they are the first to require insurers to cover the cost of COVID shots and other vaccines recommended by state health officials. Vaccines are not accessible if they are unaffordable. Every state needs to follow their lead!

In the last few days, there's been a lot of fearful chatter about how "ICE NOW HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO HACK INTO ANY PHONE" with Paragon Systems Graphite spyware. This isn't an accurate assessment of how the spyware works and who is at risk, so at LFP we made some graphics to help folks understand.

There was a slew of false statements made about COVID19 mRNA vaccines yesterday. I can’t recommend highly enough this article from May by Dr. Deborah Fuller to clear up a lot of the chaff.

Update: He was sentenced to six to 12 months in jail, all suspended, and will serve 2 years on probation.

As always a great column from @marcissist.bsky.social
