The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

All these guys are saying is "let us go back to terrorizing the lives of immigrants"
I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911!

“I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me:

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Demos submissions for CD or cassette releases are open from now until the end of February (or until I get too many to go through).
Never done this before, but I want to see how it goes! The odds are in your favor, I hate telling people no and am highly subject to recency bias.

YOU ARE THE POLICE. ARREST THEM. YOU ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY PEOPLE IN SOCIETY WHO CAN DO SOMETHING
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I meant arrest! Arrest the ice agents! Reeducation camp for Bovino et al
Make him do it. Tim. Call up the state guard. Harassed the ice agents. Force a constitutional crisis
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Tim Walz do something. Get arrested, get pepper sprayed, get beaten up. You wanted to be vice president, act like that could've meant something. Sacrifice for your people.

How many more have to die before anyone with power tries to stop this. Tries anything.

It’s not enough to be against using AI to make music. We should instead take a more positive, active position and promote music being used for tasks that have been traditionally handled by AI, such as document summarization, route planning and predictive analysis.

When you encounter a song playing out in the world, eg over the tinny supermarket PA or blasting from someone’s phone on the train, you can think of it as a kind of reverse field recording, where sounds have been sampled from the realm of music and placed as a new sonic element into “the field”.

Don't you love a train that goes straight to the mall?

Sat down with @poolplants.bsky.social for a little conversation about my two projects V@PYD and Golden Ground, talking about the olden days of vaporwave and new plans for 2026. Read the transcript, if you feel so inclined 😅
New interview with the one and only @vapyd.bsky.social ! Though I guess he's not *only* V@PYD, it was fun to talk about Golden Ground too! Get ready to relive the big beat glory days.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights
