Mario plays guitar

So if we survive all this, I'm going to play music out more. Here's my latest musical moodboard for what I want to do, starting with: ultraloungemusic.bandcamp.com/album/ultra-...

This week on Hearts of Space: “THE DARK ZONE”—a Dark Ambient tribute to the fading light and somber tone-colors of autumn. Music by CAUL, ATRIUM CARCERI, INSECTARIUM, JAKE MUIR, SHANE MORRIS, SUN’S MUSE, and HILYARD. bit.ly/HoS-1432

I hope you guys remember that polls are usually wrong, right?! Vote like you're in a dead heat. Every vote matters.

In some ways, this election is as important, if not more so!, than the one here in the US.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

Did you go to this tonight, or did you treat your brain well? Neither for me, neither!

I've already seen an "old internet" site I've gone to for *decades* taken down. Gone, just like a train. The online world is about to change.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker fans remember him as a diabolical politician, in a show that is still subversive and also perfectly funny/creepy. RIP

UI engineering matters! I'm sure it's just a interface FUBAR, nothing to see here citizens....

🔴 Voting machines are changing votes. In some cases it even changes the vote after you entered it and it prints out the wrong candidate. No matter who you are voting for, take your time and make absolutely sure that your vote is for the candidate you actually want.

Old heads know:

Wedndesay, November 4 will be such a good day, because I won't have to hear from and about politicians I can't vote for. #Jeopardy

Looking at all the current events in here constantly, and this classic from the 70s somehow is more relevant than ever. How did he know? www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuqU...

Mood:

Any product you buy, you should be able to opt out of all their ads (movie/TV trailers are an acceptable exception). And this:

Not one assault rifle massacre in France. No children shot in the student riots.

In the end, the bedrock of each and every social media platform is cat videos. It is our final destination online, the internet in its purest form.

If you're wondering if your creative concept or artistic dream is a spectacular boondoggle waiting to happen, remember: A: Weird Al is a household name for parodying all the pop songs with a polka band behind him for four decades, and B: This is part of a TRILOGY.

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

I would like to see somebody run on swinging the pendulum back. No, actually, you don't have a Constitutional right to sic 40,000 Belarusian bots disguised as sexy grandmas underneath every WNBA highlight in order to make an entire sport about the existence trans people. Stop accepting that premise.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

So DOGE, it turns out, was the road to personal enrichment. Shame on me for being surprised. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/2165...

The real story here should be that algorithmic platforms 100% know which accounts are Russian bots and have been amplifying them this whole time

Just sending this out to all the MAGAs who think he's dead or whatever stupid rumor they've started now. You wish, morons.

I like how on Bluesky, when you block posts or mute accounts, it doesn't ask nosy questions about why you did that. Meta does that to pretend it'll change your feed at all.

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.

Here we are again... Another exceptional warm week is looming n Europe with temperatures up to 35C in Spain. Only the central Mediterranean will have pretty normal conditions.

To @anildash.com’s point the only reason most of those shitheads are at white house dinners is because -you- and people you know haven’t quit those platforms. If no one logs into X or Meta tomorrow they are done Make it happen

On to happier topics, since you guys are hungry for someone to tell you what to draw this time of year:

Ossoff is such a great candidate, it's a shame he's going to get primaried for POTUS 2028 because Democrats can't find their asses with written instructions.
