My new album 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮 is out now! Through this release I wrestle with what is public and private, true and false, as the world slides deeper into a fascist surveillance state.

timely reminder to everyone including myself to stop wasting time bloviating on here and go outside
You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

This is awesome.

It's also why I think the left can benefit from deepening their understanding of emerging tech, rather than rejecting it outright. Not necessarily for hacking purposes like this, but to both survive in the modern world and shape accountability and outcomes.

Just mored the phrase "On X" because frankly, I don't care 'whats going on over there.' I left for a reason and continuing to reference the site only brings it legitimacy.

can we please chill with the "but he was a dictator" shit? nobody except the most deranged ML freakjobs were stanning Assad or Saddam either. US imperialism is satanic and always makes life 10,000x worse for the people who actually live in these places

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

My attention span is just gone. In the studio, recording a 2 min 7 sec snippet of sound, I had to hit stop at the end to get the reverb tail correct... It took 3 tries because I would be off doing something else by the time I got the end. My attention span is > 2 min 😢

So excited to try a new recipe tonight and to get back to cooking as much Japanese food as possible.

Chicken Zosui (Japanese Rice Soup)
Zosui is a comforting dish made with cooked rice served in a delicious soup flavoured with soy sauce or miso. This recipe uses crispy chicken skin and umami-rich mushrooms for the ultimate flavour.

Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

Their plan is to weaponize fake victimhood in order to drive out trans people from the teaching profession : « religious freedom » arguments always boil down to the freedom to discriminate. The paper she wrote was a deliberate attempt to troll, and it worked like a charm.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.
