There’s a lot of talk about Oscar eligibility for [various categories] re:You Can See Everything, but we need to talk about whether Nathan Fielder can be nominated for the way he says the word “annealed??”

I built an implementation of the TC39 structs proposal that you can use today: `struct` and `shared struct`, Atomics.Mutex and Atomics.Condition, and objects that really are shared between workers. A compiler and a runtime, on npm as @arv/structs. structs.arv.tools

been stoked for this show all week!

An Eastern Chipmunk getting ready for the colder months with cheeks stuffed with leaves to bring back to the burrow.

Loving the swing on DIGGER from “what a bomb!” to “what if it’s good, actually!?”. Still can’t decide if I liked it. Might even have to see it again…

Sorry, sorry, I like Don Cab okay but sometimes math rock sounds like three different cars tuned to different stations with their doors open in an underground parking garage, but it's okay because the most normal men in the world are here to explain how time can be fun to you.

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

i'm reminded that when "social media" started it was called "social networking," and i'd always thought the shift was arbitrary. but i recently realized it's because networking is concrete, it's a direct method for forming relationships. media is definitionally an abstraction of reality.

Come see our discussion

Naylor being like "oh. No thank you" here on this awful throw that set him up to get trucked at first is very much the experience of watching the 2026 Mariners

rise up into the perfumed evening with the frow show, 3 hours of new music, etc., from now 'til midnight on @wfmu.bsky.social. wfmu.org/playlists/JJ...

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky on your camera roll...

Spending the afternoon in Santa Monica to beat the heat before night 2/3 of Jeff Parker IVtet. LA: not bad! Especially thanks to rail transit (shout out to Metro A/D/E and Metrolink VC lines)

Wednesday at the Neptune! Also Friday at the UC Theatre in Berkeley, and I’ve got two tickets for that up for grabs.

2 nights in SF this September 🌈✌️🌹 Tix: thechapelsf.com/calendar/?li...

David Bowie wore the famous zig-zag ‘lightning bolt’ face make-up just once: for the Aladdin Sane album cover shoot in January 1973. Just that one time.

Again, woke 1 was not silly. None of the things that Black people asked for were inappropriate or unnecessary. Y'all just stopped listening to Black people, and started talking amongst yourselves about what you thought woke was. Then you called that silly. You listen to nazis over Black people.🤷🏿‍♂️

People of the San Francisco Bay Area! My funtime dance party cover band @nascum.bsky.social is playing LCD SOUNDSYSTEM songs on Friday Aug 21 at Rickshaw Stop! We're performing with a Daft Punk tribute. All ages! Tickets here: wl.eventim.us/event/lcd-so...

My newsletter continues this week with a piece asking some folks who play the music of Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia the question of why GD/JG connects with them and why the band is still connecting with people six decades on. www.isthisrealpdx.com/the-enduring...

transmitting from my headscape to yours via the medium of radio, 3 hours of new music & perfumed sounds on the frow show, from now 'til midnight on @wfmu.bsky.social. get in tune: wfmu.org/playlists/JJ...

Really good trolling would be to go see Picnic at Hanging Rock with some friends and then 35 minutes in get up and leave the theater and disappear and never be seen again by anyone in their entire life

A modest proposal, inspired by yesterday's Argentine ridiculousness: for each 10 shots on goal, a team is awarded 0.1 points

I love this short little video montage of actresses during Charlie Rose interviews. No dialogue, just quiet reactions. Musical accompaniment by Laurie Anderson (O Superman). [instagram.com]

Watching my first Fox World Cup broadcast after watching a bunch of games while in Ireland…oh god these commentators are terrible (and I don’t even know anything about this sport!)

So happy the Frow Show is back on the airwaves/internets

My favorite film so far this year!

thrilled that the frow show will be returning to @wfmu.bsky.social's killer tuesday night lineup, starting june 9th at 9pm ET.

“The return of the imperial boomerang does not just feel factually inevitable, it feels morally inevitable as well. What would it mean if we lived in a world where the U.S. military could destroy so many lives, so wantonly, and not suffer any consequences?” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-are-the-b...

i reviewed the gorgeous new album by the north carolina improv trio setting for @pitchfork.com (with a shout to @longrally.bsky.social's theory of the gorp-jazz continuum). pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Caught both of these, with Martel & her cinematographer on OUR LAND at the Roxie a couple weeks ago. My second viewing of THE HEADLESS WOMAN; I feel I’m barely scratching its surface, yet remain enthralled

To give an idea of Sabastian Sawe's running pace, if you ran a marathon at that speed you would be finished in less than TWO HOURS

OK gonna do a thread! OTOH, the idea of the "pirate" was used as the photo negative to define the idea of a legitimate sovereign in a developing international order, and express ambivalence. One of the most popular piracy memes from ~1550-1700 is an apocryphal tale from Cicero by way of Augustine.

Spent the last two magical evenings with Gillian Welch & David Rawlings (with Paul Kowert on bass, and Grahame Lesh joining for the encore on Friday) at the Fox as they channeled the Dead. Still levitating.
