Here's my band backing up Mirah on "Light the Match" at Deep Cuts in Medford, MA on 10/4/26. I'm pretty sure I listend to the CD-R i had with this song on it more times than it has been streamed on Spotify (which is a lot) and it was an honor (and so fun) to play it with Mirah at a hometown show

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

Queer adults making adult choices about who they want to hang with? Why is this a thing ppl care about? Let's have a thread about the current crop of moral panics, shall we? Because there have been a bunch and their commonalities say something specific about the age we're living through. 1/x

Brown has over 1,200 cameras and it wasn’t enough because cameras are a security blanket we’ve all been sold. They don’t prevent crimes and they barely solve crimes but in the meantime surveillance companies got rich and no one had to address the societal root causes of crime and violence.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

I forgot to acknowledge the 10-year anniversary of To Pimp a Butterfly. It’s one of the most perfect albums of all time—definitely in my top five, and it might even be top two. Oddly enough, my favorite Kendrick Lamar album is Mr. Morale, but I think TPAB (and GKMC) are better albums.
