They said I’m too old to make techno. So I didn’t argue… I just pressed play. This is not nostalgia. This is not a comeback. This is a refusal to fade out. Built on raw machines, distorted pressure, and relentless rhythm, this set dives deep into hard industrial and acid-driven techno—no compromise, no permission, no limits. Every kick hits with intent. Every layer pushes back against the idea that sound has an age. If you’re here, you already know: Techno doesn’t belong to a generation. It belongs to those who feel it. Turn it up. Feel the weight. Stay in it.

Volunteers turn a fan's recordings of 10,000 concerts into an online treasure trove In 1989, an up-and-coming rock band from Washington called Nirvana played in Chicago for the first time at a club called Dreamerz.

“Jacobs went on to record more than 10,000 concerts, with increasingly sophisticated equipment, over four decades in Chicago and other cities. Now a group of devoted volunteers [is] digitizing and uploading them one by one.”

Screenshot of Hearts of Iron 4 game where the CNT-FAI wins the Spanish Civil War and forms a global defense council that manages to take over the world and finally destroy the German Reich. A ridiculous number of armies are planned to head straight to Berlin.

Screenshot of the end result scorecard. Notably the defense council has 129 nuclear weapons stockpiled.

Anyone have experiences with self-publishing and print-on-demand they are willing to share?
I'm trying to make a print of a book available at-cost, and looking at different providers. It feels like Amazon/KDP is most accessible, but it does have A Vibe. Looking at Blurb and Lulu, but welcome advice.

Today is the 10th anniversary of this gif of me showing how to make games on TV.

Silhouette of Batman from Batman: The Animated Series

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

It's getting increasingly easy to be average.

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

This is cool
