Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

The older I get the more convinced I am the secret to eternal youth is to remain continually engaged with the arts. Read a great book. Attend the cinema. Listen to new music. Spend an afternoon in an art gallery. Watch people dance. Dance yourself. Can you imagine remaining angry after that 💙x

A big reason the Democratic establishment is unpopular is they continue to treat a clearly overtly fascist Republican party as if they are simply equal participants in the democratic process

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Cabaret Voltaire at the Regency SF seminal (industrial, ebm, post punk ) and vastly influential. still vital and relevant. bonus: sat next to legendary counter culture publisher V. Vale & his wife. neg: inconsiderate pair who stood all show; obstructing the view of 20 others.

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

last week, Anthropic inadvertently leaked half a million lines of source code for its Claude Code LLM. curious engineers analyzing the code are finding much jank, wildly inefficient code, and evidence of cube coding slop. neuromatch.social/@jonny/11632...
