YouTube channel Drumeo's freestyle drum covers make me want to take my shirt off and yell "hell yeah": aftermath.site/drumeo-youtube...

So how many yogas do you have to do until it fixes everything? Like 5 maybe?

Welp, time to fork up and actually buy my albums-of-the-year instead of just streaming them.

Deezer has been pretty good, btw

We just celebrated Black Friday in memory of Rebecca Black who invented Friday back in 2011.

Starbucks workers are on strike starting tomorrow, Nov 13th. Don't cross the picket line!

In classic form, I dropped a blog post about a workflow that made it easier to post more stuff and then promptly *didn’t post anything* for a month. Still mulling over ways to make publishing easier, but at least I got around to dumping some more content on the ol’ content farm today […]

Hey, #Phoenix friends! Sick of corporate interests deciding how much you pay for utilities? You can fix that by registering—no, your "normal” voter registration isn't the same—for the upcoming Salt River Project Election if you live anywhere in this map. Doesn't […] [Original post on podvibes.co]

How many years until Twilight is eligible for #monsterdon? Is it like Little League US Copyright Office rules, or original-distribution-media-must-be-obsolete, or…?

"Senators near deal to reopen government as key Democrats signal willingness to fall for the same old trick once again."

Hey, so this is my first time—those Monsterdon bingo boards have “pipe bomb” on them somewhere, right? #monsterdon

Artful use of 100% totally dead air while they were waiting at the door earlier; clearly an important motif to the auteur behind this film. #monsterdon

Cooking store-bought cookie dough in a toaster oven—4 individual cookies at a time—like the normal, regular, well-adjusted adults that we are.

So with Teen Vogue’s (and countless others’) political reporting being gutted…how do I give these people money? These journalists are still out there, do they ever end up at independent outlets I can subscribe to or something? Any good ways to track that? #askfedi #journalism #teenvogue

i have understood for over a decade now that community led open source isn't a _development_ strategy or _maintenance_ strategy. it is a survival strategy in an adversarial environment dominated by capital. this is why, in long term, it is superior to any other type of software/hardware development

Well *I* think relational databases are exciting.

BLM points it out: 'Hey, I know I've got my boot on your throat. Be really careful to get my boot off your throat ethically. Don't get my boot off your throat in a way that would compromise your values, or call war ethics into question. I'm gonna keep […] [Original post on faithcollapsing.com]

Obliterated my Substack account a few months for exactly this reason. Opening the app wasn’t just a right-wing rabbit hole you might accidentally fall into, it was a methodically optimized enlightened-centrist-to-open-bigot meat grinder built to hook into any well-intended “let me hear them out” […]

RE: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/115343246885448739 Rumors that the fediverse can't do mobile identity have been greatly exaggerated: #fep_1580 is now in draft status - https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1580/fep-1580.md This is a proposal for how to migrate all your […]

Mannn, Pixelfed has ended up sucking. Federation is still pretty busted (~600 MAU server—12th biggest server in existence!—feels like a ghost town). Boosts don't work at all? No way to view non-media statuses even if you wanted to. Account migration advertised as "working" for years and is still […]

Pitch for ASRS v2.0: if 4 of the 6 illuminati hotties songs resonate, you can get adderall

[Racism, Fedi Meta] I think a stumbling block for a lot of white people is the idea that they are not racist. Like, it would be bad to be racist, I'm not bad, I cant be racist. When I was a teenager I used to make a edgy joke on this subject where I would say, sure, I am racist, but its okay […]

Hachyderm.io has its problems as an instance, but they published a GREAT explainer for moderation on Mastodon. It's part 1 of a series, but I found it particularly useful for describing the experience of BIPOC folx compared to white folx […]

For anyone trying to ditch Vercel: I wrote up a guide for transition my very very specific setup a couple weeks ago. May it help the 2 other people out there that are using 11ty with the free GitHub-deployed Vercel hosting, and who want to pay money (and do Forgejo shenanigans) instead […]

Dang, Guerrilla Toss’s “You’re Weird Now” rocks. Getting Magdalena Bay x illuminati hotties x …B-52s? Punk in the bones. #songmelier #guerrillatoss

Wooo, finally cooking with automatic-website-rebuilds-on-merge! Even just a day in, having one less manual step to do when trying to make updates has been huge for tinkering. Who needs GitHub or Vercel or AWS or whatever trash they're selling you, when you can have: 1) #11ty, 2) […]

Just listened to Styx’s “Come Sail Away” all the way through for the first time. 1) The “come sail away” part is only like 20 seconds total??? 2) There’s *gotta* be some through line between “camp” and “tight-pantsed men play alien abduction song exclusively with earnest ‘Hell Yeah, Brother!’ […]

I have finally found the portmanteau I needed to post pithy vibe-based music tastings/bad Christgau impressions, and no nobody can stop me: #songmelier

“Not my circus, not my circus…” I whisper to myself, rocking back and forth in the corner of the monkey cage, tightening the self-soothing grip of my tail around myself

She looks like adorable roadkill in every picture you take of her, I don’t know how she does it.

I’m realizing that all the people I gel the most with are, at a minimum, (anti-prescriptivist) armchair linguists…

@djspiewak That people have organized such a staggering amount of labor, produced an even more staggering amount of value, successfully decommodifying whole industry sectors in the process, all without coercion, force, violence, or state power is really incredible. Its very existence is a […]

Reminder: If you're listening to music on Spotify, you are not paying the musicians you are listening to. Instead you are paying Joe Rogan and helping Daniel Ek to fund the war machine. Literally any streaming service is a more ethical choice and most of them support their artists better and […]

Is there a hashtag out there for “look at my cool personal website that I made?” Or some good approximates for that? #askfedi #SmallWeb #indieweb

Here is my flash talk from #scipy #scipy2025 - model free AI, just output random garbage directly https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qzTAz5Y5QiGw6CMkefZBxi-E7FJ7TqSpP-UU1ip4YUE/edit?usp=sharing https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/gpu-free-ai

Website is coming along, piece by piece. Eked out a script to rewrite all my “link” Markdown files, and managed to get some metadata-looking stuff on the links page itself. It’s an absolute mess of a workflow, but it’s something. https://mostol.dev/links

I have two :pixelfed: accounts for projects that I am slowly moving off tumblr: Blackpixel Anthology; a curitorial glitch art archive at @blackpixel Gesticulation; a long running 35mm 3D photographic log of my own work at @gesticulation Both could use some followers on this here federated […]

Capitalist brainrot 🤝🏻 AI brainrot https://aftermath.site/xbox-microsoft-layoffs-ai-prompt-chatgpt-matt

i guess people are already doing this but i suppose best practice is to submit your own papers to the AI gods and ask what is wrong with them, because that is what reviewer 2 will do anyway; "missing the point as a service"

Hundreds of us just got tear gassed. Unprovoked , indiscriminate violence. Completely unhinged #losangeles #LosAngelesProtests
