Is there any feeling quite like loading a CD into a drive, updating the metadata, and importing to your machine? Only things I'm missing are Limewire, Winamp, and a pack of Camels. A magical sensation.

what a beaut. stoked to give this a spin @5d3m.bsky.social @frozenreeds.com @edsunspot.bsky.social

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

Carter Hart getting a contract from anybody is crap. No other way to put it.

fuck the leafs and go jays. I will not be taking questions at this time

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

what would you recommend a solo buffoon do on a Friday night in New York City

And another sign appeared in heaven: behold,

not really sure what's going on today but its got a lot of people in my feed talking about boyd rice & douglas p which can't be good

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

“In test”

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

i keep thinking about this, and how (a) this Blawan album rules, and (b) the accolades it has gotten reinforces my belief that Black Dice is a ridiculously underappreciated band

I actually liked the book Jack Torrance had been writing out at the Overlook Hotel. I thought it was pretty neat

CNN: Oakland begins amphibious invasion of San Francisco's financial district in an effort to liberate the besieged city from DreamForce

i am so ready for quantum to be the next dumb buzzword the tech industry forces everyone to pretend to care about. "how are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?" i'm not but it's so refreshing you asked me a new and different stupid question

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

the new Blawan album is essentially Black Dice worship (it's great)

I am and will always be just simply an Autechre fan, my tomb stone will just say. Autechre.

its bandcamp friday, i haven't really made much since my last release, which ended up being (un)surprisingly emotionally draining? anyway i'm quite proud of it, and i'd love for you to check it out (and mad love to those who already have!) patrickryandriscoll.bandcamp.com/album/group-...

The Lab is restoring the main auditorium of the San Francisco Labor Temple, built in 1914. Among other things, this is where the 1934 vote to join the longshoremen in a city-wide general strike was held. It will be the largest, longest-running space in the Bay Area dedicated to experimental work.

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.

this is so insanely cool www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGhE...

i just remembered this incredible sprawling Genesis P-Orridge / Black Dice interview from 2009: www.self-titledmag.com/dude-wheres-... (i'll post pts 2 & 3 in thread)

on top of all of this, his company is hehmorraging money, including losing $110 million in 2024 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

An easy story for reporters in tech and extremism right now might be to ask major music streaming platforms why they quietly let Skrewdriver back on some time this year
