Hello #DIYsky, let’s do a proper introduction. I make music as Chaotic Neutral Gang. In the past 5 years or so, I’ve been learning how to play other instruments and fulfill a long time ambition of making music without the pressure of being in a band and trying to “make it” and just doing it for fun.
Haven’t we suffered enough?

My phone just autocorrected Nat Turner to Natalie Turner. It didn’t even want to acknowledge Nat when I tried to correct myself. Apple doesn’t want us saying his name. The slave power conspiracy lives on.

Every year we watch the Muppet Christmas Carol and every year I’m waiting for them to make another adaptation of classic literature. Guaranteed killing at the box office.

There’s a lot to like about Bluesky but my main critique is that there are too many feeds to check. I’m trying to reduce my social media time and anxiety around that and on that front…it’s not amazing. I know you can just not but it feels like you lose out on a lot of interactions that way.

I am once again listening to Her’s and feeling very sad that they tragically never got to make more music.

If we let Donald Trump and Stephen Miller expand the infrastructure of state violence, they will not stop at deporting undocumented immigrants.
Once that infrastructure exists, they will turn it against one scapegoat after another.
All of us have a stake in resisting.

Bluesky feels more like the old blog-friendly internet. I’m sure the advertisers will eventually descend but I’m going to enjoy it for all it’s worth before the vultures arrive. #DumpTwitter

Spent the weekend away and it never ceases to amaze me how much my mood improves when I’m spending time doing nothing much at all in a large wooden box. In fact I probably needed more time doing nothing at all in a large wooden box, if anything.

So here's the thing for me: Over the past year, we've been treated to the endless narrative that liberals on college campuses are the biggest threat to American Jews. Hearings, news cycles, open letters, so much more.
Elon Musk is the biggest threat to American Jews, and should be treated as such.

If you're on this site it's because you already know all this stuff...but a few weeks ago I decided to do an exercise which was to publicly make the case...not to shame people but just to lay it all out there as best I could. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
