Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/

Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Conjuror,' a painting depicting a medieval con artist playing a shell game for an audience of astonished peasant rubes. The image has been altered: the conman now has Jeff Bezos's grinning head, and the mouths of all the peasants have been replaced with inverted Amazon 'Smile' logos, so they are now frowning.

Never let them forget: They hunted the vice president to kill him. They built a gallows on the Capitol lawn. They assaulted police officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and they tried to seize the presidency for Donald Trump.

At a CCSD School Board mtg, our member Amanda Nuchols, a woman who is an amazing leader & activist, stood up for trans rights. One School Board member, Lorena Biassotti, wore an anti-trans shirt. Lorena is a coward and hater. This is what courage looks like. This is what activism looks like.

Today on my Spotify new release playlist I saw songs by The Plimsouls and Guadalcanal Diary. Turns out they are clearly AI generated slop using existing band names. Might be on other services as well. If anyone knows Peter and/or Murray, let them know. I wrote to Peter's management.

I love this essay, not only because it affirms some of what I thought were the film's themes (allegory for the current moment in America, shattering of norms) but points out other ways the Nolan is using art as social commentary that I didn't pick up on, but make sense in context.

The decision of so many people to keep using X in its race-war phase has made me a bit more cynical overall about the ability to draw moral red lines. It’s beyond disappointing.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

I did a music thing! For the first time in ages & it was such a joy. I played in the Rough Music ensemble for a joint show w/ The Population Choir. A joyful night of songs, played to a full house at Union in Copenhagen.

A man in a patterned shirt and grey pants stands in front of a keyboard leading a group of musicians and singers. A room full of people is behind him watching the band and singers play.

A choir of about 45 women and men stands on a stage. Behind them is a screen with the choir name Population Choir and the band's name, Rough Music. Also in the picture are a man in a blue shirt at a drum kit, a man in a black tshirt with a guitar, and a man in a white shirt in from of percussion instruments.

A group of musicians wait to start a song. Visible are a man in a white shirt with a guitar, a man in a green shirt with a bass, and 5 women, one playing cello, one on trombone, one on clarinet, two on violin.

there were already many reasons to do this but Elon Musk actively encouraging racist violence in Belfast should be the final straw for every UK government institution to stop doing business - including being on X - with him in any way, and for him to be barred from entry to the country.

Spent a bit more than I'd normally want to but it was an RSD release actually worth getting. Geffen wouldn't let him release this version & instead made him work with Geoff Emerick on the overproduced but still ok Songs From the Film. This "lost" version was worth the wait and the money.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

Clockwise from top left:
1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”.

3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.”

4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.
