Happy Indigenous Peoples Day

One Piece is a comic about pirates and searching for treasure, published in a magazine aimed at teenage boys. This is Earth. The year is 2025.

I’m often asked for temperature anomaly plots using a “pre-industrial” baseline (1850–1900). I update a full set of these graphics each month, now through August 2025: zacklabe.com/climate-chan.... Always free to use and share!

legend interview details efforts related to cybercrime as well as other things + a bunch of valuable insight. short, worthwhile read

Beauty is everywhere. Just stop, breathe, open up and look. #house #music

Oh damn, an hour+ long Big Think video from Sean Carroll on physics. Definitely going to find some time for this. Prof. Carroll is goated; one of our great science communicators right now

Massively important effort right here. Read and share this!

s/o wh1bby and their page for reminding me of this; no idea why I didn't grab it until now. Advanced, high tech tune-up of a classic. Additionally, I highly recommend all CFCF music. This one is a free DL. Don't sleep #garage #ukg #2-step #music

One of many awesome and unexpected tracks I heard via DJ Auria in Seattle. Look out for him on Kremwerk lineups and elsewhere. Dude has serious chops. Posij, I remembered from Critical Records in 2015 and was surprised to hear something so slick and modern. Still got that weight. Crazy good.

I can't believe this track is free. That's actually insane. Go DL / support this shit!! If you're a DJ there's no good reason to not have it; it transforms a room. #house #techno #music somaqualityrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/emotio...

Miss "Lydia" shows us her screen with a temp of 97° at 11am while she works packing grapes in Bakersfield CA. The area is under an extreme heat warning meaning a high risk for heat illness especially among the elderly like herself, but she works out of necessity. #WeFeedYou #calor

recent obsession lift up #house #music

For anyone that's received encouragement/support from me and valued it on some level, and wondered where it went, pls reach out. The world is overwhelming and my memory is not what I'd like it to be, but I'll never stop caring about the things and the people I believe in. Would love to hear from you

Don't let them convince you that anything about generative AI in its current form, with its current level of consumption, is the way forward for humanity. Say no.

Look around you, and engage with the things that are tangible and present Let go of the things that seek to hold you down or distract you, that possess no intent to reciprocate. The world in its depth is endless. There's no time for distractions that do not enrich. Stay focused, stay positive

Have faith

I think that I won't - or at least, I will try not to ever forget today when I placed my hand on an old woman's shoulder, then thanked her for going out and speaking against hate for everyone. The sound of her soft and fragile but strong and reassuring "You're welcome" reverberates through my being.

I've spent a long time talking, thinking to myself - reasoning with myself, comforting myself - trying to find answers and a way forward. Things are going to change, slowly but surely. The path is there. This is a reminder for myself and anyone else that there is always hope. It's never too late.

I've been struggling and searching a long time for answers in the wrong place; venturing outside of my surroundings, and thinking if I go far enough that I will eventually reach some deep, hidden truth.

forgot about this tune. came across it again when i was listening through one of my old mixes. so cool mettasonic.bandcamp.com/track/retrie...

I'm a signatory to this open letter calling for OpenAI to offer the world greater transparency concerning its upcoming restructuring. www.openai-transparency.org

Microsoft in 2025 is an absolute joke Take me back to the days of Windows XP when the future was bright like a blue sky over green hills and Hitler wasn't inside my damn OS

Massively grateful to see that this person is alive and safe

Two videos that have helped me make sense of the world a little better lately. As always I find a way to maintain various frustrations and questions. Hopeful that continuing down this path will eventually allow me to reach a place of understanding for all things. Real stuff @ 19:00

The story about this track and the struggle behind it (given that it's a Marvin Gaye remix) is crazy. pls check this one out! it's a great track. Claes never misses; one of my all-time favorite #house producers. #music

thank you @claesrosen.bsky.social / bg&k for helping me keep it together and reminding me of the beauty always present in life. clutch shuffle today

What can you even say at this point

This is about as bare-bones as it gets. Visually, no obvious differences or improvements over Bandcamp. The "features" page is not useful. A lot of words that communicate good morals but nothing solid in the way of an approach to design/a feature set. Still, I'll take what I can get. mirlo.space

it's a free dl. nutty #breaks

music/art saves the day for me again. we gotta stay focused on the good things in life to maintain, and - at the very least - stay locked against anything in your day-to-day life that tries to take the good things and the good people out of the picture. reject hate. respect to everyone fighting

pls check out this awesome radio show submerse is doing. atmospheric #ambient videogame music mixed with some of the best #jungle and similar sounds right now. submerse knows the good stuff better than just about anyone. real dj youtu.be/Xb_qtrVMohU

I draw trees and add their GPS reference. So you can venture out to find them and enjoy their company.

wild, next-level #techno

Hand out. Do what you can, when you can, for whoever needs it. Follow the light and clarity will come. Help others find it. Once everyone knows where to look, things will get better for all of us. I can feel it. Let go of hate

Only in this reality can you bear witness to a concentration camp survivor being told by some weirdo in a batman getup that their speaking out does a disservice to others who suffered the same fate. That's enough internet.

This is certainly a fascinating exchange. Mostly because of how stupid and sad the first one is and how politely savage the second one is. Man, history is something else.

Age verification system implemented by Bluesky is Epic's KWS, which is "free to use." "If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we may share your personal information with the acquiring or receiving entity." What could go wrong?

hero shit 🙏

Loving these collabs coming out lately with some great producers joining forces. This is another great one, from SWIM & DJ Boring. Deep and melodic while still maintaining energy & drive + satisfying percs. Fire 🔥 #dance #music soundcloud.com/djboring1990...

Massive tune from Bakey, another producer who is killing it right now. This one is especially exciting to me. Combining piano #house & strings with bass-heavy #garage madness. So fucking good. soundcloud.com/bakeymusic/s...

Just listened to this. Edmondson is a sound wizard. Already one of my favorite releases of the year. Next level approach to deep #house music. Listen!! lissomsxyz.bandcamp.com/album/azura-ep

RIP John Lewis, absolute legend. People like him are why we have the freedoms that we do, and who we have to look to and remember as the fight continues - as it always will.

This vote isn’t about budgets. It’s about who we let die quietly. They’ve already gutted aid—now they’re digging a grave. Call five Senators. Call again. Don’t wait for someone else to carry this. If you’re reading this, you’re already in it. @altusaid.altgov.info @beingliberal.bsky.social

THIS BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF PLUTO TURNS 10 YEARS OLD TODAY!!!
