Static, crossed signals, disembodied voices from the ether. Check out our look at some of the key works in the history of radio as an instrument.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Love the radio edit remix of Ice Cube’s ”It Was a Good Day” with the Staple Singers sample instead of the Isleys.

Probably shouldn't have let a handful of weird business perverts unwind the cultural miracle of American research universities

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Farewell to the great Sonny Rollins, one of the true giants of the 20th Century.

Hey, I started a site/newsletter to continue the work of my recently-cancelled column. I features a monthly (free) rundown of good experimental releases, plus a bonus (paid-sub) post on a single release from the month. Check out goodexperimentalmusic.com and thanks to everyone who encouraged this!

Oh crazy! Sam & Kitty moving to Portland!

Excited to be playing some weirder records with a dear pal on 6/5!

stop generating crap you look stupid! 🐟

Rob Base, one-half of Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, who was best known for the hit “It Takes Two,” has died. He was 59

[first lines] Mark: Do you ever get the feeling that everything in America is completely fucked up?

Never in a million years will you catch me be a fan of a politician.

My hottest parenting take is that Raffi is not only the great to ever do it, but he’ll probably never be bested. Michael Phelps-ass children’s songwriter.

Mmmmm I dunno I think Caspar Babypants would wipe the floor with that goofball Canuck.

The Portland Trail Blazers are laying off 20% of their staff, according to a source with knowledge of the decision. Staff were told that “the decision came at ownership’s direction."

Very excited to be hitting the decks at Hey Love again this Friday with my pal DJ Action Slacks! Come say hi and groove with us. ✨

The older I get, the less I like computer

Was recently able to secure a fantastic trove of never before seen views of the 1948 Vanport Flood. I’ve been collecting anything I come across- will preserve and eventually donate to Vanport Mosaic. original view is the sepia / enhanced on left Thats the river from a raised Interstate Bridge

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

Uhhh wasn’t Deion Sanders a cornerback? Metaphor falling apart Reg.

Props to my doctor for using the word “lousy” correctly

Honestly I would probably hang out with Beavis. Just him though

No words needed...only truth. Power to the gente, la raza

Good morning from Portland Oregon. #morning #blueskyartshow #eck #art #phototgraphy #nature #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited #eastcoastkin #sunrise #pdx

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

Wildfire survivors have been seeking payments from PacifiCorp over its role in sparking massive wildfires in 2020, and have been awarded more than $1 billion in damages. But those payouts have been on hold since last month and could be canceled altogether.

Black people saw the largest decline in financial stability for nearly every category compared to all other racial and ethnic groups, according to a new Federal Reserve survey.

The PacifiCorp wildfire lawsuit is one of the most significant legal fights in Oregon history for liability for the 2020 fires. PacifiCorp is part of conglomerate of Warren Buffett. He has already dragged on the suit for 6 years. The company didn’t shut off the power. People lost everything. Shame.

I would like to again nominate Portland Public Schools for the most dysfunctional shitmess of a district I have ever encountered. No experience with LAUSD tho, which maybe seems on a whole nother level?

Over the last three years, Portland Public Schools has had to cut about $115.5 million dollars from its budget. But as the district has cut costs across more than 80 schools in the state’s largest district, one line item has jumped: “purchased services,” or spending.

Israel has killed nearly 600 people in Lebanon since a supposed ceasefire took effect on April 17. And more than 1 million Lebanese are still displaced.

Israeli attacks on Gaza increased by 35% since Iran ceasefire: Report https://aje.news/gwmgbm

Super cool cut away from a moment of silence to advertisements.

May he rest in eternal peace.

On May 2 I helped say goodbye to our friend Paul, also known as DJ TAN'T and ((( In Mono ))). I'm not much for grieving in public, especially on social media, but this one has hurt for a long time. djtant.bandcamp.com & inmono.bandcamp.com, all proceeds go directly to his lovely family

Legal experts say an Oregon judge who sided with PacifiCorp in a multi-billion dollar wildfire-damages lawsuit should have recused herself from the case because she represented the utility for years as a private attorney: www.oregonjournalismproject.org/appeals-judg...

So @pastemagazine.bsky.social asked if I would write about God Only Knows , and then I had a pain flare up and lost my mind trying to do it www.pastemagazine.com/music/the-be...

one time i wrote a post about how AI could never replicate the human experience of writing and someone accused me of using AI to write it, like as a bit, and anyway AI is cooking all of our brains and @jasonkoebler.bsky.social says it so well here:
