lathe of heaven are real ones (literally) www.404media.co/spotify-ai-m...

“I just listened to the song. It’s appalling. The fact that you were able to do that is insane,” Allison, Lather of Heaven’s vocalist, told me. “The only thing smaller musicians like us have at the end of the day is recognition for the results of our work — being able to enjoy the process of creating something and putting it out into the world knowing it is distinctly a product of our own hands is essentially one of the last driving forces behind making music. It’s hard enough putting this much time and effort into the band as it is. All the members of LoH essentially tailor our lifestyles around having the time to tour, write records and record. And we do it knowing we will likely not see much money in return. The fact that someone could ruin our reputation by dropping this cringe garbage under our name is insanely disheartening and speaks volumes about distribution and streaming services that allow this to happen.”

Spent time working on the web-based WebGPU Dota 2 spectator client ('broodmother'), decoupled it from the backend and made it a public repo: github.com/datdota/broo... It's also hosted at datdota.com/broodmother/ It's still quite young and buggy and that's okay! (Please no DDos!).

Late dota update but I got confirmation from the captains. We're going to have a bo5 between boris and electfall's stack tomorrow 6pm EST, cast by the handsome wesley/xeriscape duo over at twitch.tv/wesleyaffair If the format feels good I'm going to run another with more stacks later this month.

'Path in Snow' by Eyvind Earle (1916-2000). #art

Path in Snow by Eyvind Earle is a serene winter scene depicting a winding path through a snow-covered landscape, framed by tall, stylized trees, with a muted color palette of whites, grays, and deep blues, showcasing Earle's characteristically flat, graphic shapes and meticulous attention to detail, creating a sense of quiet beauty and tranquility while subtly hinting at a sense of mystery through the path's leading perspective.
