Fuck Around season drawing to a close Now playing: Find Out era

“I will keep my promises. We can only rebuild by reuniting every generation and with everybody's participation. Because there are only a few of us, I ask everybody to work; Work like a horse. I myself will cast aside the idea of work-life balance. I'll work, work, work, work, and work.”

A quote from Sanae Takaichi, prime minister of Japan

Every valid critique in this piece would stand without this ghoulish headline – presumably for grandstanding to libs whose brains are completely poisoned by rhetoric like this – that seemingly betrays the author's own empathy for Mayor Wu. Bike lanes and public transit forever. RIP Louisa Gag.

Life is the slow process of accepting death. People die, and we grieve and move on. It is something else when there's a throughline between one's actions and someone else's death. *It must be hard to be Michelle Wu. The weight of it must crush her.* I know it could crush me.

🔟 years today since my best friend @phoebechin.com and I got the government involved in our relationship

An impossibly young Paul and Phoebe standing in the sunlight under some trees on their wedding day. Phoebe’s wearing a gold flower crown, and carrying a bouquet anchored by a giant protea. Paul is in a classic black tuxedo with a bow tie, and white pocket square. His hair is in a low fade, and his beard is outlined SHARP.

Paul and Phoebe sitting on a large rock in a field of grass and trees. Phoebe’s hair is blonde, and she’s wearing a white tank top and grey shorts. Paul’s afro is out, and he’s wearing circle-frame shades, a black t-shirt, navy shorts, and sand-coloured Nike Air Fear Of God Raids.

Paul and Phoebe looking down into the camera, in the trunk of a car. Paul has on circle-frame shades, and a Sherpa denim jacket over a black hoodie. Phoebe has dyed grey hair in plaited pigtails, and is wearing an orange top with cute illustrations printed all over it.

Paul and Phoebe taking a selfie at a wedding. They’re standing in the grass at a vineyard, both wearing shades. Paul has on a sheer black jacket over a white dress shirt, and has three chains on (one with a green and purple jade donut pendant). Phoebe is wearing beaded dangling earrings, and a sheer black one-strapped top, with a jade green skirt.

Harassing fast food workers is sucker shit, unless the fast food workers are AI. Then it’s the morally virtuous thing to do.

Taco Bell quickly decided to retreat from the strategy after it found the public really liked messing with the AI by doing things like asking for “18,000 cups of water, please.”

Finally achieved some coverage (sort of) on Stereogum lol Just a point of order: I was not a rapper at the time (still don’t consider myself to be, but I AM rapping on my new EP). Also, I’m p sure when Hybe went public, the members of BTS were all granted preferred stock, but I could be wrong.

In the weeks after I published that article, I paid a lot of attention to one guy who jumped into my mentions. I'm not on Twitter anymore, and I can't find any record of this interaction, but I think the guy was an indie rapper in Toronto. He was not a member of the BTS Army, but he took their side. This guy called me out for bashing this group of fans who were just using their money to support their favorites, rather than celebrating the fact that this chart triumph was the work of actual fans rather than record-label vampires. The BTS Army noticed this guy, and they started supporting him, buying his music. A little while back, I had a Bluesky interaction with this guy, who said that the whole episode changed his life. (Again, this is all from memory, since I can't find the actual interaction. I'd put the guy's name in here if I remembered it, and I'll update this post if I hear from him later.)

I’ve been on tour for five days, and I’m about to play my second show in an hour and a half. I did just have a teeny tiny little cry in a Buddhist graveyard about 15 minutes ago, but also the sheer ✨AURA✨ emanating from this screencap (I’m also vlogging out here fml) is who I wanna be EVERY day

Paul posts up on his friend’s Honda N Box, parked in front of a Family Mart, eating a Famichiki. He’s wearing an oversized black short sleeve button up, green Dickies pants, and a grey Dreamcast hat. He has three chains hanging off him, one with a jade pendant sneakily half hiding in his shirt. He also has on his PROFESSIONAL un-friendship bracelet.

A few people have reached out about wanting me to make merch for the upcoming tour, but I really have too much on my plate to do so if folks are wishy-washy about it. So if just 12 people will commit to a CAD $40 tee, I’ll do a small run on some Champion blanks. Pls reskeet to help an artist out!

Do you follow @blackskyweb.xyz's blog? There was a quote from Moxie Marlinspike @rude1.blacksky.team shared in his anniversary roundup, which I think summed up their ethos well. The option to run everything is great, but it’s also one most of us are happy to license out in part to a trusted partner

People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will… Even nerds do not want to run their own servers at this point. Even organizations building software full time do not want to run their own servers at this point… The companies that emerged offering to do that for you instead were successful…

I'm speaking out because pretending this is normal isn't normal. Because people in power can't keep skating by. And because the artists keeping the lights on at Wasserman deserve support, not to be ignored while men in power are protected. It is important for us as artists to remember: these people work for us, not the other way around.
