As someone more ready to change careers than I have ever been, looking at the job landscape out there, it is clear the the path to financial stability does not lie in any job that is real work.

"AI is [good] and we're the only ones who can handle the money and power necessary to get us to the future." AI companies literally just replaced [good] with [bad] in this sentence because it plays better now.

Every half-ass plan for our extinction that they provide just turns me on. No internet, you say? No online banking?? No 2FA to use the bathroom at my job??? Baby I was a latchkey kid in the 1980s. You’re describing my platonic ideal. Extinct me.

Our overemphasis on outcomes and results, as opposed to process and camaraderie and community, when it comes to sports really shines through in this cruel ruling. Who gives a shit about who wins a high school swim meet? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...

Hey, I started a site/newsletter to continue the work of my recently-cancelled column. I features a monthly (free) rundown of good experimental releases, plus a bonus (paid-sub) post on a single release from the month. Check out goodexperimentalmusic.com and thanks to everyone who encouraged this!

i have an assignment where i ask students to come up with an AI art product that would help both consumers and artists. a lot of them had the idea of an art-analysis or marketing LLM that only learns from what artists choose to upload rather than scraping/stealing.

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

I am broken-hearted at the terrible news that my alma mater, @hampshirecollege.bsky.social, after 56 yrs, is closing. Its death is a victory for conformism, for corporatism, for higher education's dull love of hierarchy & status. It's a grievous defeat for imagination & experimentation.
