Nothing lasts forever. A fact that we're constantly reminded about in many aspects of our lives, but in the digital world it presents itself in a different way. People lose interest, they forget, they move on to 'better' things, but the items they have forgotten are still there, in their same form.
Is the fragility of the physical form something that gives it value?
If a song degrades every time it gets played, is it more valuable on the first play or the last?
This is an experiment in digital degradation.
There is one track, one listener at a time.
Every time the song gets played, it degrades. No single listener hears the same version of the track.
When the sound becomes unreadable, too quiet, or too broken to function, the file is declared dead and playback stops.
Please enjoy the song while it is here, in whatever form you manage to hear it.
- Miles (Mr. Mitch)
A thoughtful experiment in transience, ephemerality, and value: This new track by Mr. Mitch is only available on the website he's made to host it (mrmit.ch). The file degrades with /each/ individual playback; when it wears down completely, it's gone. h/t Shawn Reynaldo/firstfloor.substack.com

A little while after deleting the post from his social account, Trump staged a press event at the White House in which he had two bags of McDonalds food delivered to him by a lady wearing a red T-shirt with the words "Doordash Grandma" on the front. Look man, all I can do is describe these things. I am not responsible for the world being like this.

Considering they're seemingly pulling the plug on that VTuber project, they have to make money somehow.

Ultraman Ace shoots a Trans Rights beam
Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all of my trans followers!
Here's a repost of #Ultraman Ace shooting a Trans Rights beam and will continue to be relevant as long as bigots and politicians continue to make things difficult for Trans people.
I hope everyone who's trans has a good day!

NBC News poll
Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert

On this International Women's Day. You can be a woman too, if you really want to. If it's something you've ever fantasized about or even just thought about. You can just try being a woman. And if you decide you don't like it you can change back. There's no harm in it. You stand to lose nothing

if the government gives you a choice between going to prison or murdering children and you don't choose prison you never had a drop of courage inside you. You're a coward. A worm. A disgrace.

Coming off Heated Rivalry, with the massive exposure of the Olympics spotlighting the most talented group of American men ever assembled for this particular tournament, the timing was perfect for new frontiers in hockey fandom. All that these attractive, gold-winning players had to do was not say or do anything that would make a bunch of fans believe that they didn't respect women. They lasted just a few minutes into the off-ice celebration.
