The new St Vitus in Brooklyn lists "doors" for all shows as 6pm. Does anyone know when shows actually start? The usual one hour after doors seems too early., or do they have an early curfew?

I think a lot of people won't say this directly, but they love the idea of AI because they hate smart people, educated experts, and talented artists, and would love to see them all replaced by a service they can control.

If I died and became a ghost and could fly wherever I want, I'd definitely go to the moon. But I wouldn't try going to Mars or beyond because I'd be terrified of losing my way and being lost in space forever.

A good album cover should be eye-catching, unique, easily recognizable, and should make you curious about the music and artist. This, for example, must be one of the best album covers of all time.
it's the cover of Sparks "Propaganda"

Heard that AI companies believe AGI is almost here. I was skeptical, but realized they're using a different definition than I think most ppl hold. They consider AGI "when a computer is at least as good at using computers as any human."

A question for physicists or astrophysicists about dark matter. If it's particles, wouldn't it form planets or stars? But we could detect those, right? especially if they were part of our solar system. If it doesn't, why not? It must contribute to black holes though, no?

I have a cat who attacks strangers. Full on ATTACKS with scratches and bites. With just me (and roommate) he is feisty but gentle and even affectionate. But I can't have guests or a cat sitter! Has anyone ever gotten a cat like this used to other people?

Every billionaire could have retired with their first billion dollars & lived the rest of their life in extravagant luxury, as well as generously supporting charities or the arts if they like. Why do so many instead choose to keep hoarding & make themselves a giant problem for the rest of humanity?

Saw the new Spider-Man movie and it's great. If you like any superhero movies you'll love it. It nails all the fundamentals, delivers lots of everything you want to see, thrills chills spills, you'll laugh, you'll cry. Also: best Spider-Man costume, best Spider-Man action.

I got tired of records that aren't clearly labeled with the side and/or speed so I bought a pack of these little stickers and label them myself. Should have started this long ago. Tapes that aren't even labeled w artists or album, I'm just writing straight on the shell w Sharpie.

Back in the day I had a strong brand loyalty to Maxell cassette tapes. They just seemed more reliable to me, and I guess I was right! I'm transferring some 30+ year old recordings and the tapes have held up perfectly.

This guy I pass in the park every day on a walk or run jumped up at my approach yesterday (running w headphones) trying to offer me something - I think making a "smoking" gesture & I made "no thanks" gesture but was confused. Then realized I was wearing this Flesh Narc T-shirt.

UFO or Die at CBGBs 1991. Just my absolute favorite everything here. Eye's guitar playing is fantastic. (kinda reminds me of Austin in Sediment Club) UFO or Die's album is amazing too, but different. Wish there was a studio recording of this set.

Doctors could be a little more honest about how a vaccine will make you feel shitty. It convinces yr body you caught something & stages an immune response. You will feel bad! (probably just for 24-48 hrs) That's how it works. But usually they will only predict "a little soreness in yr arm."

Companies (and govts) are gonna wind up paying human designers overtime for all the extra fix-up work on their AI-generated slop presentations. It's even worse than the human-management-generated slop designers were already fixing up!

There is a BRAND NEW Radio Shock song on this comp celebrating 10 yrs of underground NYC tiny venue Skinny Apartment! A huge collection of oddball outsider music & noise artist who've played there. Is my track too much of a normal rock song for this comp? 😬 Check it out & let me know!

The Brooklyn version of Backrooms is when you go into one of the 99 cent stores that has a tiny storefront but then it goes way further back than you thought and you get to the back and it opens into a whole second area focused on pots & pans or storage bins or rugs.

Trump really seems to believe the voter ID laws will help Republicans win elections. But Is that actually true? We know non-citizens are not actually voting, and when I picture the typical MAGA fan, I don't see someone who has a passport and knows where their birth certificate is.

Please no spoilers - but I did a rewatch of Stranger Things, finally into final season, and it is just so good. I know it is the most mainstream popular thing, but it is just solidly good at everything it aims to do, in a way so few things are, especially these streaming series.

People training new AI models admit they just get chatbots to do it
The next generation of AI models are meant to be trained by people paid to have conversations with them, but several of these workers have admitted to New Scientist that they simply get chatbots to do it instead. This "AI inbreeding" may reduce the power and usefulness of future models, warn experts

Fascinating early Boredoms performance, 1986! Playing stuff closest to Onanie Bomb material, the band dressed kinda glam? goth? Doesn't yet have the bombast to come, but a very cool sort of deconstruction of a rock band.

Wish we had 20 more yrs of Albini's wit & music, but how badass for the last song on yr last album to be "I Don't Fear Hell" w lyrics "and when this is over I'll leap in my grave like the arms of a lover. If there's a heaven I hope they're having fun, cause if there's a hell I'm gonna know everyone"

Lately I've seen ppl using their car's flashers to parallel park. This is NOT what you do to indicate parallel parking, at least not when I took the driving test in New York. (use blinker) Flashers can be used for double parking, and you can see the confusion this causes in NYC. Am I wrong?

I hate nearly everything about Tik-Tok/Reels/short videos. Hate the finger-wagging, hate the overused baby songs, hate the pointless reaction videos, hate the lip syncing to audio clips, hate the overdubbed laugh, hate the "influencers," hate car accidents & injuries as "fails"

I had no idea browser tabs were eating so much RAM! No wonder I kept getting low memory warnings. I started checking Activity Monitor - Gmail is claiming 1.8G! A Bandcamp page 1.4G? Most others 400-600MB? WHY? I really thought bkgd browser tabs acted like bookmarks. Most ppl treat them that way.

Before you argue with some MAGA online, consider that it's very likely they are not a real person. This has always been true, but they used to be simple bots or troll farms hired to push an agenda. Now they may look more real. www.nytimes.com/2026...
