I'm still looking for someone by the way, so if you know anyone, or could just share my post, it'd be appreciated!

I've found SO many talented vocalists, but not found quite the right person for this particular track yet.
jeffpennyaudio.bsky.social Jeff Penny @jeffpennyaudio.bsky.social · 23d
TL;DR I am looking for a vocalist. Any shares or tags are greatly appreciated
Looking for Vocalist (Paid) I am looking for a vocalist for a punk/metal/riot grrrl adjacent song. The track needs someone who can bring out a lot of attitude, anger, and pain through an aggressive performance. You don’t necessarily need to be able to scream but it would be a bonus. The range of the melody is roughly D4-E5. The lyrics are in English and include swearing. You must be able to record with a professional quality setup. The project has a flexible timeline. If you are interested and think you might be a good fit, please send me any examples of similar work you have done.

this is amazing world class dunk documented here but I'm going to the trouble to add a bunch of detailed alt text through a mix of OCR and typed notes therefore you all gotta reshare sorry I don't make the rules
Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart tweet a day ago: Everyone needs to seek truth from facts here. This was @edzitron's argument last year, that the tech was hitting a dead end. Don't lie about the extent of the argument. screenshot shows paragraphs of text: What if what we're seeing today isn't a glimpse of the future, but the new terms of the present? What if artificial intelligence isn't actually capable of doing much more than what we're seeing today, and what if there's no clear timeline when it'll be able to do more? What if this entire hype cycle has been built, goosed by a compliant media ready and willing to take career-embellishers at their word? Me, in March 2024. I have been warning you for the best part of a year that generative Al has no killer apps and had no way of justifying its valuations (February), that generative Al had already peaked (March), and I have pleaded with people to consider an eventuality where the jump from GPT-4 to GPT-5 was not significant, in part due to a lack of training data (April). I shared concerns in July that the transformer-based-architecture underpinning generative Al was a dead end, and that there were few ways we'd progress past the products we'd already seen, in part due to both the limits of training data and the limits of models that use said training data. In August, I summarized the Pale Horses of the Al Apocalypse - events, many that have since come to pass, that would signify that the end is indeed nigh - and again added that GPT-5 would likely "not change the game enough to matter, let alone [add] a new architecture to build future (and more capable) models on." Throughout these pieces I have repeatedly made the point that - separate to any lack of a core value proposition, training data drought, or unsustainable economics - generative Al is a dead end due to the limitations of probabilistic models that hallucinate, where they authoritatively state things that aren't true. The hallucination problem is one that... ending of previous image alt: ...is nowhere closer to being solved - and, at least with the current technology - may never go away, and it makes it a non- starter for a great many business tasks, where you need a high level of reliability. this second image is another Twitter screenshot - Raith. @RaithwallRover tweet: This is still largely correct. Hallucination is not solvable for LLMs. They astonish me 99 times out of 100, then make 1 error so egregious, so bizarre, that it makes me wonder if I've missed subtler errors elsewhere. That will always be a barrier to the business case. Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart replies: I don't really understand how it's defensible. I, someone with no tech background, was able to build a working product I've wanted to build for a long time in about 2.5 weeks. Why isn't that enough? 27 Jan 2026 6k views.

amazing maps post says most of houston's city center is parking lots and empty lots. map shows red composing maybe 40-60% (hard to tell what area counts) or so of a large overhead area, around 2-3 dozen blocks on way and a dozen or more blocks the other way.

adding alt text because that's where I want to go
very old style of late '80s or early '90s. 3D graphics shows a faceted unsmooth lit red Tower, looking up at it from lower on the hill, it has almost kind of a bomb shape but with a big thick ring around the middle a top what appears to be a dirt brown mountain. the sky is white clouds on Blue but the background sky blue is solid blue. no gradient like it would be typical for a sky and the clouds are visibly drawn using like the Microsoft paint spray paint as was the style in say mid '90s Windows making the lines very very evident from where the mouse was dragged to draw the clouds. but the clouds are either 100% white pixels or 100% blue pixels. there's no smoothing between them. the bottom left says Captain trips in light blue italics font.

I'm not a birdologist, just take pictures because they're neat, but half a scone seems like too much scone for one normal bird so this might probably also harm them, and is probably easier than throwing a rock. depending on what's in the scone it could harm a dozen?

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

adding alt text to this comic which accurately depicts how everyone on bsky is friends because for unrelated reasons we're all on the internet too much
comic titled poorly drawn lines. six panels. a blue cartoon bird says it's hard to make friends as an adult. the bird continues as the panel reveals a red bird and a squirrel nearby: so I think it's cool we're all hanging out. the bluebird then asks squirrel, what kind of stuff are you into? the squirrel with the neutral expression and arms dangling down replies: standing in trees. the nearby red bird says oh hell yeah. the blue bird finishes by saying dude, how have we not hung out before?
