I bought these for .25 each a few years ago not knowing what was on them. Turns out they're incredible mixes of post-punk, rock, dub, reggae etc. including a track I've not been able to identify. Download them off our Dropbox and enjoy: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/63q1v...

I think agents or assistants or whatever the hell we’re calling AI That Can Click is at this moment another form of scrolling: a way to watch things happen without really doing anything, in the absence of exercising actual agency because, yknow, pervasive feelings of powerlessness.

If you're weird enough about the internet that you've ended up on Bluesky, you almost certainly would like Never Post It's one of the most consistently "worth listening to" podcasts I know of (and this episode specifically is such a breath of fresh air in comparison to the recent media cycle)

Can't recommend this episode enough if you've been following news about AI. It's a clear-eyed look into the human dynamics around the industry, what motivates the most fear-inducing headlines, & how the AI problem might be tackled (actually enforcing existing regulations, for a start).

I cannot get over this new Carl Stone / Arthur Fischl record, it is absolute insanity. I could not hope to describe it in words one iota, so you should just listen to it.

Something for Zohran to add to the To Do list: bodegas that individually label items two prices - one cash, one credit - and then also add a credit surcharge to the total, even if you’re paying debit.

I missed this feature last month :) "The sign shop, which is part of the NYC Department of Transportation, has a staff of 46 workers, including seven letterers who lay out signs by hand and a blacksmith who makes custom brackets to securely attach signs to traffic poles."

when the used gear sold locally for cash only is too cheap by 25% or more - do we assume it is stolen, motivated seller, secretly broken in a way it will take a while to figure out, or some combo of these

It took me 20 years to feel this way, but I do wish – at art school – there was a seminar, not necessarily required, called something like "Every Artist is A Small Business Until They're Not". Even some small % of the student body attending would be sufficient to create massive impact, I think.
