A Frozen Moment Music: Aphex Twin - Rhubarb

When you mix together Katie Zacharia and Miss Teen USA 2007, from South Carolina, you get this:

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I love "Belle", the first animated music video directed by Jules Bourgès (WIZZ studio / France), for Mistthom's song. Full MV >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydvD...

New video editor "Blick" seems fantastic: super lightweight, fast, good price, and surprisingly full featured for such a new app. Has that feel of a UI developed with a low level game editor framework. My main criticism is that it doesn't have many Mac menus in the menubar. Check it out:

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.

MY WIFE: "Make sure you don't leave any food outside for the raccoons to get into." Me: "You got it, hon."

The techbros don't want you to see this trailer. Pass it on.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

It is so good to see @reportermatt.bsky.social, who was in like 80% of my classes in college, become the most influential reporter in Massachusetts. He just loves the place, and you can tell in everything he does. A truly wonderful man making the whole state better.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Flock takes their privacy very seriously. But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways. Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

holy shit this kicks ass

Can someone tell me what this was last night? The weird glowing was in front of the dot of light, not behind it, and it did not change shape or size in any way for about 8 minutes that it took to move from above the cabin rising up, then curving slowly back down over the tree line.

There is no good use of generative AI because the technology was built on theft of creative labor. If that position surprises you from an artist whose life's work was scraped and used without permission to train trillion dollar technology, educate yourself. www.michaelwhelan.com/faq/#digital...

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

NEW — Belfast-based writer @hleehurley.com talks about the racist pogroms that have terrorized his city, how existing tensions in Northern Ireland (and *not* Elon Musk) primed local factions to turn violent, and how Minnesota’s response to ICE inspired their community to care for one another:
