I remember them wheeling out the VCR in sixth grade to show us this, but I didn't remember that Miles Davis was in this, goddamn!

trans people aren't the downfall of civilization no matter how many monster truck show people who pivoted to blasphemous megachurch spectacles say so. they weren't right about pokemon cards or e-drugs or whatever, they're not right about this. it's a stalking horse for social domination by losers
Admittedly some of the baseline is set by a route in LA where I knew the driver's intestinal schedule (and accompanying 20-minute bathroom break) better than the bus schedule itself, and then living in Austin where the entire concept of public transpo has playmobil energy
I've lived in #chicago less than two weeks, and it's still shocking how good the bus drivers are here. These people should get paid more than baseball players.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Hey, Dodgers, this would be a good time to break your cowardly silence as your community is attacked.

Or you could just ban people who sing the national anthem in Spanish. That’s another thing you could do.
Clay Travis calls for an ICE raid at Dodger Stadium:

"Could you imagine if they did an ICE raid in the parking lot of the LA Dodgers stadium... That would be kind of amazing."
I left LA many years ago, but I held onto my Dodger fandom tightly as a way of still feeling grounded. In a week when I miss LA so dearly, I've also felt how much my connection to one its (and my) most beloved institutions has frayed.
This flyer's giving real Da Share z0ne energy and it ain't wrong
Everything about the lack of transparency around AI "samples" means that holding out for albums that weren't made with this is going to make you the annoying digital vegan who can't enjoy anything and is too busy applying purity tests to music
Caribou's AI use bothered me for reasons around identity, Timbo's bothered me because living in a cyberpunk dystopia was supposed to be cooler, but what sucks about this is the mundanity -- the fake AI cratedigging apparatus is inevitably gonna for sale on Splice by the end of the year if not sooner

James Agee said "I hate any job on earth, as a job and a hindrance and a semi-suicide."

💡And that's why I think your cardholders are going to 👏love👏 our new B2B SaaS product.
Oh, fuck everyone involved in this
NEW: The music distribution platform SoundCloud updated its terms of service to allow it to use artists' uploaded music to train AI.

The change quietly went into effect last year. It looks like a lot of SoundCloud users were caught off guard.

i don’t believe in the great man of history theory, but i do kind of believe in a stupid asshole theory of history where one dumb motherfucker ruins things for everyone
I love every interview with Enya about her process, where half is "I built a custom reverb tank in this castle on a remote island off the coast of Ireland, because no commercial reverb can get this sound" and the other half is "Oh, that? That's one of the factory presets on a Juno"
