I'm releasing my debut single next Friday and you can presave it here (or wait for bandcamp/other streaming services) distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... Prodigal Son is classic stomp-clap folk that tackles deconstruction and learning to leave behind the people and place we once called home.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

AI is a direct threat to our livelihoods as well as the future of our professions, not because AI is capable of doing any of the work, but because our industries will use the threat of AI to make us all increasingly precarious. Uncertain futures and worse working conditions.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Tech enthusiasts: my entire house is smart

Tech workers: the only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don’t recognize

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic. Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

it's easy to observe this in the increasingly homogenous "rural" culture and identity becoming unmoored from region or geography. regions that were once totally distinct, applachia, the lowland south, the great plains, the interior west, now all have a shared faux-redneck culture

what if we all screamed all at once, at the same time, would that be anything, would it fix anything, could we direct our screams, could they join together and gain life and do our bidding y/n

I wrote a song the night after the election to the conservative Christians in my family. After years of conflict, I suddenly have the language to explain why faith is the very thing that radicalized me. It comes out on Spotify/etc on 12/5, and you can presave it here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...
