I have a visceral sense memory of holding this book in my hands in the back corner of the stacks of my hometown's public library as a 13 year old. Completely drawn in by the cover (I skipped Odyssey two to read this one first because I was so into the art on this one. Fantastic work Michael.

IT'S UP NOW. We had a lot of fun getting unhappy about how many of the world's problems are caused by the original mass violence workers: ENGINEERS.

If this proves effective, it'll mean fewer owls and other animals dying from eating poisoned rats.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade. Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents. #PublicPreparedness #Minneapolis

Much love to my writer friends, but please stop using Substack. I get the appeal, but there's no reason to get that company involved.

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

computer science is when you write “Alice” and “Bob” and “Eve” on a whiteboard and the more times you write it, the more science the computer is

This should be the bare minimum for any national dems from here on out. It will of course not be. We will hear so much about ICE reform.

The early web was driven by curiosity & openness, not monetization. Audrey Witters reflects on that era, using her now-famous animated alien GIF as an example of how playful, freely-shared work helped shape digital culture & why preserving it matters. Learn more ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2025/12/22/a...

Nature informing technology: make generative AI so depressed over how little it gets paid that it gives up.

Gonna print this out and stick it to my wall every time a person says that "the market will crash" or "innovation will be stifled" because of the smallest tax increase for the wealthy.

1/4inch tape is making a comeback, hitclips are making a comeback, mediafire .zip files are making a comeback.

This was a fun one Myke. Any chance you'd consider putting out cortex eps more frequently with this series? Would love to get a two eps or more a month if that's not too taxing.

I don't wanna be rude, but this just isn't true. Vinyl is extremely limited for dynamic range, frequency and signal to noise compared with digital. I think it's important to say, as there's a lot of "rich guy mysticism" with vinyl that's more about it's collectibility than about real metrics.

I truly think the real benefit of vinyl is having a 12x12 inch cardboard print of album art.

Dude, don't speak it's name, you're gonna manifest it.

We're getting early reports that a "all time banger" is developing, but musicologists are saying to remain calm and that it may simply be a high velocity "bop".

It's important to sneak up on the car and attack when it leasts expects it.

my hottest take is that all music is good given enough time and the correct context. Unless it’s made by someone who absolutely sucks shit. Then it’s possible it sucks.

Wow, great work on the design here. Way to retrofit.

Blue Note Records @bluenoterecords.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Yeah, I agree they play into each other. but if you can stomach me being a nitpicking bastard, I'd say that executive ideology was probably more about loving having a ton of cash on-hand rather than wanting to glorify pop music for it's own sake.

Y'know, unsolicited take, but I wouldn't blame poptimism so much as the major labels reconsolidating control, and taking an extremely conservative/risk averse approach to artist investment. The collapse of finances in regional music scenes has been brutal to experience.

Would you consider sharing a link? I'd give it a listen.
