This is amazing; I very much agree with the how the report calculated value to society here: www.gov.ie/en/departmen... But for people excited about a *literal* profit machine, note that the real net fiscal cost was almost €72M. It made €146M due to the estimated value of gains in mental wellbeing.

Take more risks.

People need to stop dragging Jay and her team and let them cook. Bluesky is free. They are a small team. They are clearly listening. Blocking and muting work.

This is how I found out about so many bands that I would later go on to see live and collect entire discographies from (when possible). The fact that AI tools for music and art are based on massive piracy is just an S-tier level of irony

He’s reading and judging your skeets. #cats

The politics vibes on this app are rancid.

THIS RIGHT HERE is another reason I have precisely zero patience for "cultural stasis" received wisdom among the parochial rump inky press / cultural marketing establishment. The speed at which development in global appreciation of African diasporic music worldwide is moving is *head spinning*.

Yes.

This era was FUN, especially after years of increasingly dark and serious drum and bass and techno in addition to the superclubs and rock patriarchy. It really gave clubbing a shot of adrenaline. Also no smartphones!

ohooooo @discopogo.bsky.social have lowered the paywall temporarily so you can read my ***AWARD-WINNING*** article about Sade's relationship to the dancefloor and deep cultural flows.... go go go

Ruin a book with a car: Blood Miata, or, the Evening Redness in the West

I mean, if you were to strip out all of the Live Nation/Ticketmaster fees, tickets may well be underpriced. In fact, I suggest Live Nation give it a go and see whether they are or not!

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

Tucked away in a cluster of warehouses on the outskirts of Rutherfordton, Miso Master has stayed true to the centuries-old technique of naturally aging handcrafted miso with the seasons since 1980.

This is so rad. I bet it also reduces noise pollution.

Amazing piece of art & music criticism (and just writing period) here by the one and only Ian Penman

None. Zero. Zilch. Nunca. Nadie. At some point in the past year or 18 months, it became Too Much and I gradually stopped listening. It sucks bc I know there is good stuff out there, but some people talk too much

Spaceship Earth

Are people really noping out on foldable phones? I think they are cool.

Korea should definitely make everyone force the Olympics and World Cup to be taken away

They cite a rigorous study at the beginning of this article where programmer productivity gains *declined* by 20% when using AI programming tools.

Aw man, no, RIP Maru the cat. That little man brought so much joy to my life for years and years. ❤️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maru_(c...

Apparently “abundance” means sending secret police and the machineries of war to a largely peaceful city.

Always Barbara Morgenstern-pilled

I got in an elevator with someone today and he immediately started complaining how you can't get good bread here in Chicago like you can in Europe. Sir, that is a skill issue.

I wrote a little blog about Radio Garden, an app that lets you listen to more than 40,000 radio stations around the world open.substack.com/pub/taylormo...

Today’s doodle is the Hancock tower tossing a hot dog at an unwelcome visitor.

It's clear that printing and distribution of my publication TASKS FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD IN CHICAGO is going to disrupt my life at a time when I have no time, so here are files you can print from. It's a double-sided 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. Please do not edit the text. Have fun!

Also read the interview!

Also, this changed everything about food and medication packaging!

When someone started tampering with Tylenol bottles in 1982 the company recalled $100 million worth of bottles immediately even though they clearly weren't at fault

I cannot say how much I appreciate Paul Ford’s end user review of GPT-5. The point about workflows and documentation seem like basic labor problems. Who is investing in that and what market mechanisms are forcing them to happen (in an irrational market)? aboard.com/desperately-...?

Yup, Chicago is truly terrifying and a war zone.

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

This rules. I want this for vinyl records. Hell, I would love to do this for vinyl records. (CDs and cassettes as well.)

The wonderful @annkpowers.bsky.social swings big on music, criticism, gamification and more in the present moment. Taylor’s the hook but it is not just about her (so please, discuss by all means but spare me comments about TS that shows you didn’t actually read the piece).

Spotted in the near west suburbs of Chicago today. I didn't check to see if it still worked, but my money is that a phone was not even present. 75 years old maybe?

I never let a statue tell me how nice I am

Angels are bowling tonight in Chicago. 🎳 ⛈️

Spooky cat & 90s analog computer speaker.
