IT MAY BE ICONOCLASTIC, IT MAY BE UNPOPULAR, IT MAY NOT EVER GET A WIRED TREND PIECE ON ITS ANTIESTABLISHMENT NATURE, BUT MY DEEPLY HELD BELIEF THAT CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL WILL NEVER WAVER

today, lowercase can be clickbait, or a strategy of gen z-ers to read as less intense. it can also be a status symbol, or a way to signal human authorship. finally, pockets of the internet still see lowercase as somehow antiestablishment.

A decade later, I hear echoes of BLONDE everywhere, even as Frank Ocean remains off the grid. A look back at a polarizing masterpiece that became one of the most influential albums of its era:

Microsoft engineered this so that it looked the least bad optically while at the same time still committing a slaughter, all so that Satya Nadella can still dick around with more useless AI horseshit. Fuck him and fuck Microsoft.

Blocking people for this now, show me AI? Eat shit and die

聖☆Alex Degen@adactivity.bsky.social

You literally never need to show me AI anything literally ever again. Even if it’s Iran making fun of Pete hegseth as Legos or whatever. Going forward I’m going to think you’re a fucking simpleton if you do this and politically fascist no matter your superficial politics. This is a hard line Haa

anyway: your regular reminder that computers, data centers, and things of that nature, much like statuary and altars, can be smashed with hammers

As a huge New York Style Hot Dog fan for years, felt compelled to recreate the poster in a high resolution and managed to find the original photo used in the texture Many thanks to folks from VGPC for help with identifying blobs, especially Prominos and TBemme bekoha.github.io/yakuza/New%2...

I'm actually in favor of America getting a new Winchester Mystery House and also it being where the President lives. Feels appropriate.

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done."

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

Breaking my usual bsky etiquette to say full-throatedly that if you are acting like itch is anything other than a victim in this ongoing struggle with payment processors, you are a rube, a mark, and signaling that you will eat your own at the slightest opportunity. You are an untrustworthy dumbass

if musicians not getting paid wasn't enough for you, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek investing 600 million euros in an AI war company wasn't enough for you, does having to upload your ID and turn on your webcam to listen to music finally convince you not to pay Spotify?

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music. Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use. www.404media.co/spotify-uk-a...
