I always wake up too early on Saturdays because I'm excited it's Saturday.

Contemporary Past, by Smooth 16 track album

Sometimes all you want is this sound 😉 cyannetlabel.bandcamp.com/album/contem... (paging @anewlinerelated.bsky.social)

Thank you! (It's nice to hear I'm infuriating in a different context for once.)

Now You Exist, by The Field 5 track album

Yay!!!!!!! (Although I don't want to wait 32 days.) thefield.bandcamp.com/album/now-yo...

I'd buy that for a dollar.

My new favorite ritual is to fall asleep with @januszczak.bsky.social at 65% speed while he says things like “this was drawn with the bicep and not the wrist.”

I have the most wonderful baroque rococco dreams.

I’ll just sink into this couch while Strange Days plays on mute and somebody tells me all about the end of history and the Information Superhighway.

Just so gloriously chill. The whole album from @anewlinerelated.bsky.social is already a 2026 favorite, and this track in particular has been looping for two hours while working on a project about dreams.

Godammit Claude, I'm paying you to lie to me.

About whether to structure the data as a json or xml!

Uh oh.

Going forward, I'd like my Bluesky contributions to summon the mood of the Studio of Gratifying Discourse.

The first draft of this episode.

Making apps out of Spite - Hicks.design A super streamlined new app to play your own music library, that makes the most of the album artwork.

Thank you @hicks.design for this very nice write-up of Spite!

“Where bare life is hallowed, theology gives way to therapy.” —Byung-Chul Han

(I think it’s crucial to say “artificial intelligence” rather than AI, Chat, or Claude so it's always clear what we’re dealing with.)

Artificial intelligence is taking us into a strange new religious age. I’ve had more conversations about the human soul in the past six months than the rest of my life combined.

There ought to be a word for the disappointment one feels when a weather event fails to perform as advertised.

“Night is our diocese, silence is our ministry.” —Thomas Merton

Thank you Minneapolis for serving a glorious slice of Bacon before I head to the airport.

But dig this chill boar from the Meiji era at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

The Benjamin quote is still my fave description of this — the phases don’t have to be strictly sequential. “Work on a good piece of writing proceeds on three levels: a musical one, where it is composed; an architectural one, where it is constructed; and finally, a textile one, where it is woven.”
