Reminder that the single most effective thing you can do to make the world a better place is vote. That’s why the bad guys try so hard to keep you from doing it. It’s why they buy media to make you think there’s no point. Your vote is worth more than anything posted here.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

I'd rather see us build a hell of a lot of affordable housing instead of "A.i." data centers. 🤷

You’re starting to hear about voters “finding out about candidates” using AI, and when that happens, that is describing uninformed voters who do not truly wish to be informed. It’s dismaying and a little alarming.

My grandfather didn’t know he was a Taoist. He had fished the river Awe for sixty years. Life is sensed as a flowing movement, a power like wind or water. When he cast, it was the bank that moved, not the river… —Lorn Macintyre, “Satori” from The Bridport Prize Anthology 2013 #poem #GrandparentsDay

Satori
Lorn Macintyre

My grandfather didn’t know he was a Taoist.
He had fished the river Awe for sixty years.
Life is sensed as a flowing movement,
a power like wind or water. When he cast,
it was the bank that moved, not the river.
The osprey with the salmon in its talons
needed no metaphor to describe its beauty.
He saw the suchness of the landscape,
the great whole, perfect, sky, mountain,
as in a painting by the Zen K’un-t’an.
There is no Gaelic for the term satori,
the solution lying beyond the intellect,
that flash of delighted intuition, sensing
that a salmon is lying in the current,
while not seeing a ripple with the eye.
If I had told him: ‘you read the river
like a book, noting between the lines
what other fishermen fail to spy,’
he would have clouted me on the head,
the way Zen Masters took the big stick
to pupils who insisted on comparison.
The river needs no language, no homage.
It goes its own way, like the osprey
which will never run out of sky.

I have happily walked out on Sting in concert... twice. First time at a Police Picnic and second was after Annie Lennox opened for him. His ego sucked the oxygen from the room.

It's disappointing that there are no flu vaccines in London, Ontario yet. But a colleague told me that Quebec isn't even providing flu shots except to those who are immunocompromised. This is poor public health.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

The New Jon Hassell album "Music Is Invisible" is out today. I spent a lot of time listening to it over recent weeks and wrote ~2,000 words about it which will be published on Monday in @thetonearm.com. I especially love the last track "Electric Forest," which you can hear below.

If you have a problem with our app, it's fastest to email us - dj at SomaFM com - or better yet, use the "Email Debug Log" feature under the top-left gear (settings) menu on the channel picker page. It takes 2+ days before we're notified, even longer for Apple to approve our responses to you.

Took the update; now, when I put the player to the background the stream stops.
I have had this app installed over multiple phones and it's NEVER done this before.
How the bloody !%#@?! am I supposed to fix it?

Sounds great.

According to experts I interviewed, the internet is about to get more frustrating. These agents may cause a cascading chain of problems that shake the foundations of digital infrastructure. Chances are good that you're about to live through an era of online chaos.
The internet was built for humans with limited time and patience. AIs don't have those restraints. You'll probably have to fight with robots over concert tickets and booking appointments. Small businesses could drown in machine-made pestering. AIs don't look at ads, and websites that rely on them are already crumbling. You'll be buried in endless loops of proving you're human. And if you use these AI tools, some may betray you.
