Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

It saddens me that this is the most engagement I've had on Bsky. Political vitriol feedback loop central. Guess I could quip for clout here by dropping more obviously agreeable statements
Do you recall the days of Sound-Twitter? We talked about craft and art. 😭 #betterTimes

Literally just read a statement from a UK politician... under Trump the USA is becoming an enemy state.
We live in a cartoon. How can partisan loyalty be this strong? He is unhinged, but they stay loyal and oblivious to his failed character. I will never understand that.

What are the opinions? UA will continue to support the old DSP platform and require that for some plugins, or UA is in the process of going fully native and dumping all DSP development for the old SHARC chips

Join me in saying THANKS and CONGRATS to Warren Lee, the stranger who so kindly purchased my Sputnik Spectral Processor on Reverb. It's because of their GAS that we're now going to try something else for our GAS...

Recap...
The US kidnapped the leader of another country last night. The "plan" is that Trump will run that country too.
Details dont really change the big picture summary. That's just what happened.

Reviewing artist data for a project. Nothing changed... but the marketing. The music was the same. The lesson for musicians:
Most often good music does not rise up naturally. Having a great track will not be enough. You must advertise and market beyond posting relentlessly on social media.

Bastl Bestie had a rattle. Open up to find a loose glob of solder. Good to remove imo!
Peep the circuit. Lovely little monster.

Testing the new piano. Wish a real pianist was here... hope you will forgive my improv noodling but check out the tones! Schoeps MK2 wide in the first example. Schoeps MK4 + AEA R84 ribbon as MS pair on other two samples.
Happy with this upright! Good studio tool.

Everytime someone says "industry standard" as a mark of quality, I remind my fellow humans... industry standard is often the lowest form of acceptable quality.
Behold.... the "industry standard" cheeseburger.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

After owning a piano for a few weeks... I am certain about one thing.
Any human who can burn at stride piano is to be respected equally to the highest level of any physical achievement.
