ME: I really do have a ridiculously large @bandcamp.com collection, maybe I should think about cutt-- @nedraggett.bsky.social: LOL. LMAO.

I spent all day writing the thread in my head about how Bolsonaro's win was the culmination of a 20-year project to end Brazilian democracy, with the participation of both domestic elites and foreign actors like the US state department and Meta. This is all true, of course, except he didn't win.

Reminds me of the famous mnemonic... If Asher be Wolf, You're getting no bull If Asher be Moses, Oh boy, bad prognosis!

When I started my radio show in 2003, women were represented in electronic music mainly as voices, often sampled. Since then, women & trans-led initiatives have created spaces where non-male producers & DJs could be safe & respected. Music has been immeasurably enriched as a consequence.

The whole world no longer smells like cigarettes.

Should I upgrade to macOS 27, or stick with Tahoe for now? Always worry about what will stop working - audio plugins or apps, essential tools. Fairly sure everything will keep working though 😬

Well, US is evacuating our diplomats from the entire Middle East except Israel and Oman after denying yesterdsy Reuters report that they would do this Trump is seriously doing to endorse a strike against Iran two weeks b4 the midterms & as such Brent is at its highest level since May

Helen Haines is one of the best climate advocates in Australian gov't btw, with a real focus on community benefits. Hope she's okay www.helenhaines.org/issues/clima...

This story

For some reason I thought this article's title was about an "AI assasin", and it's slightly disappointing that it's not

<sigh> Time to re-up the Karen Middleton piece from 2016 on sexual harassment in political journalism circles. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/opinion/topi...

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

I'd be surprised if it worked better than wet water, but might as well give it a go

Sad news for cinephiles: Tilly Norwood has been killed in a Ukrainian drone strike.

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed

Islamic Relief calls for global action as deadly Israeli attacks in Gaza continue and humanitarian conditions worsen.

I asked ChatGPT to create a cover for a course catalogue of a "university for people who have given up thinking due to AI over-reliance". To be fair, this is a pretty good take -- and more subtle than I expected... #aislop #criticalthinking #deskillling #chatGPT #philsky

While the world commemorates 3 years since the Oct 7 attacks, life for Gazans continues to be unbearable. Israel still bombs, sends in drones, restricts food, medicines & aid. It's hard to know what to do in the face of this. One thing is mutual aid. You can directly help Amir & his family here:

If One Nation's immigration cuts had any chance of lowering rents, Phil Coorey and the entire better-than-you political class would be screaming bloody murder on behalf of property investors and landlords. Instead he acts as if One Nation's in-house economics team (me neither!) has credibility.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to note it, but there's something a bit... off... here, right? Like, nobody's head and torso are shaped that way? Please?

I know some people don't like these stories but is it really too much to ask whether it would be prudent for Greens Senators not to make money from Airbnb and rentals (Faruqi) given their party's anti landlord stance? #auspol share.google/cHypJkSH7cI4...

Excellent, a good sign that people should do it more

Share widely and donate to save a life. Lina's husband is on the verge of death, in critical condition from lack of treatment for severe injuries sustained from Israel's bombing. Lina is caring for him and their children, and overwhelmed. Please share/donate so her children don't lose their father:

"Since announcing the “early” closure of Eraring 2022, Origin has not built any new wind or solar facilities." Gentailers like Origin are one of the biggest brakes on the renewable build out in Australia.

American nazis fleeing the scene after trying to disrupt a Palestinian festival. Hundreds of anti-fascists showed up, heavily outnumbering the fascists and the - yeah - fash, cops who were of course there to protect the white supremacists.

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

VC, founder, dumbass

Our AUKUS partner with our “shared values” Our defence strategy is making us less safe.

The killing of journalists continues to silence the crimes being committed by the Israeli state. The ethnic cleansing continues.

Fuck X and everyone still on it.

If nothing else AI is making clear that there are people all around us for whom writing, art, and music are not communion with another mind, but just - wallpaper. Just pleasant things to look at. They think AI is conscious because they have no actual grasp of what it is to encounter another mind.

I can't believe I have to keep doing this, but time to tap the sign again. Emily Bell, who also edits Atthis Arts under the name E.D.E. Bell, is still harassing me and others. Read my original report for details. New details in following thread. 1/ www.patreon.com/jasonsanford...
