Small note on this; Oregon isn’t really a donor state at present. It’s receiving slightly more than it’s sending. Washington is a donor state, however.

I’m thinking about the contrast between how the government attempted to regulate open-source encryption in the 90s — classifying it as munitions — vs what it’s doing now (nothing) with AI. Kinda wild.

I don’t know if an ad campaign has ever made me less interested in a movie than Digger’s. You spend 95% of a trailer showing clips from other movies, and that tells me you don’t have anything interesting to say about the movie you’re actually advertising.

It seems like a writer for Rolling Stone would be aware that streaming service algorithms do a lot of work to make sure that if you’ve never listened to music of a certain type, you will continue to never hear music of that type.

Was anybody else here kicked out of their elementary school gifted program for, say, playing with matches? In my defense, I was making rockets out of the matches, and they worked, and also they left a large supply of matches where I could find them.

It’s really neat when the tiny venue in your small rural community announces a show with an artist you’ve never heard of, and it turns out she’s extremely enjoyable. Looks like I’m going back to the Quilcene Lantern later this month! music.apple.com/us/album/mat...

I once played Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict on college radio late on a Friday night. The friend who called in to request Pink Floyd approached me the next day to tell me that wasn’t at all what he had in mind.

There’s a scene in #CoyoteVsAcme in which the animators manage to display a depth & immensity of emotion on Wile E’s face — a non-speaking character — that seems impossible and yet is absolutely perfect in context. I really urge you to see the movie in a theatre. Not just to give Vaslov the finger.
