“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.”

WHEW.

Brompton makes a folding e-bike? I have a conventional brommie and love it. This could be a game-changer.

I support nonviolent action. It's literally what I do. But telling people that allowing themselves to be harmed to demonstrate the character of their enemy will be politically transformative denies the desensitized reality of the present.

A friend who’s a hardcore birder finds a lot of movies with outdoor scenes unwatchable bc the bird songs/calls in the background are from a locale different than that of the story.

Hello Jeremy, i really appreciate all your posts.

As it happens I’ve just submitted this manuscript for review. I used Scopus, and there is definitely a drop in papers to date in 2025 relative to prior years. Feedback welcome! osf.io/preprints/me...

"Standing up to defend your programs and staff and ending up in the crosshairs of this vindictive administration could be
devastating. But many of these leaders seem not to be including the risk of losing the trust of members of the
communities they are charged to lead." 💯

I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Great idea! I’ve been doing this for a few years now and love it. I start the ferment in a tsukemono press so I can be sure everything is submerged. in a week or two I’ll blenderize it and add a smidge of cider vinegar. Delicious and also makes great gifts.

Chopped up peppers, carrots, and alliums thinking about fermenting.
