"For him and his peers, music isn't the point anymore. It's just background noise for the much larger project of frat house, servicing a LinkedIn-ified rave culture kept airborne by planet-destroying private jets and an aspirational lifestyle feed that only survives on likes and reshares."
damn.
omg, it's Frat House.
that's the term for shitty mainstream edm boring house.
thank you, music journalists @residentadvisor.bsky.social
f that shit. but good to have a term for it so we can address it.

i highkey love mario cortez and the food team at @sfchronicle.com
this is important news. this is what i support (pay) local #journalism for. for real. not sarcastic!
he's doing the work for us finding the best burritos, etc. #food in the #bayarea. big respect to the food writers
they're doing the right thing with the safeway sites in sf (moving safeway back in with modern facilties and housing above),
but wtf—are they against trader joe's or something? safeway giving align some extra pay to get rid of a competitor?
ughh we shouldn't be subsidizing Bad Decisions
rololol
but at least Creativity 😂
if planners/zoning and the building code aren't gonna prohibit residences in extreme fire zones, the insurance industry will and they should.
hi frenz, i made a new mix in my annual report series.

holy shit, my third time getting it in one.
there's also a whole tree-planting project. the tree removal totally undoes their work
tree removal should be examined in an area-wide urban forestry plan
woeip.org/featured-wor...
did you reply to share this in the guy's ig post?
i hate that so much. these trees aren't even in the way of anything.
are there no urban forestry rules?
like, can't an arborist examine the trees and if they're healthy, they can stay?
Photo of trees at West Oakland BART entrance
Rendering of the same location from the plans
There are 17 existing mature trees in the future plaza section
Instead of clear cutting and replanting, BART should incorporate as many of these trees as possible into the plaza
It would take decades for newly planted trees to reach the maturity shown in the rendering. The trees are already here!
in contrast, CM Fife again showing she has real deep knowledge of the matter #homelessness
CM Unger also compentent.
houston should not be on #oakland city council.
there really needs to be mainstream news coverage of #oakland city council. thx to @hyphyrepublic.bsky.social for these details
if ppl thought #sf aaron peskin's drinking problem was bad, they really need to pile on "councilmember" houston and his antics
landr is also now mostly subscription-based?!! i hate the subscription models.
now have to pay $1/month for 50gb storage. but at least they kept an option for one master for $10. or it'd be $144/year (but i only make like max 3 mixes a year).

Oakland's landlords weren't paying their business taxes. Once the City started pursuing what was owed, rental business tax doubled from the previous year, over tripled the year before that. Pretty wild how they are constantly whining at city hall about deadbeat tenants
i met a guy who got a vasectomy.
that is Seriously Impressive. for real, not being sarcastic.
a man who's taking responsibility so the burden isn't only on women to go to medical appts to get birth control pills, iud, etc.??? what what what?!!
he should just be my new bf already
crazy

i was on a crowded BART train thursday on the way home. maybe that's where I caught a cold something :/ :(
i had earbuds in listening to music. there was large group of young 20yos talking loudly.
maybe someone was behind me who was sick
yooo having a productive saturday
amazing that a (slight) cold is nothing compared to the effect of spring allergies on me. mood & energy still good
recorded a new mix! after only one run-thru. also very nice how much less anxiety recording with a short tracklist, ie. 12 instead of 30 tracks, lol
tiki drinks and a sampler appetizer platter
pizza with prosciutto and potatoes
somehow caught a cold. woke up yesterday a little feverish. today not bad, just a little phlegmy in the morning.
nice introvert weekend to myself.
after having a lot of good social time this past week. met up with 6 friends (new & old & regular) in the past 7 days! new PR!
& new #pizza spot 😋
going to see jessy lanza on 5/9. looked up tracks/videos to share with and invite friends.. first time seeing the mv for Oh No
it is a total #BIKE music video. would by perfect for bike party.
she's even wearing a silver reflective jacket for the lighting

in canto it's 'ni (nee) gaw' - this one.
or gaw (up/even tone) gaw (down tone) - that one
RSR shuttle arrived and I'm the only passenger, so that's progress. Now we're stuck in a traffic jam caused by Caltrans ... wait for it ... moving the bike lane barrier back into place. 🤷🏻♂️
i finally realized that my bar tape looks like shit... lol had never replaced it since buying the bike new in around 2019
i got it done.

but it's placed differently?? farther out from center, is uneven on the flat section which i use
for restaurants/food, definitely go to a place that has a line or is pretty packed.
not just any place! lesson learned from my uncle who went recently. get good food, not just so-so food
sidewalk stalls, other marketplaces or malls
last year i booked a round trip to canada, total after taxes was $250.
i just booked the same trip, booked it 2 weeks later than i did last year but still around 3 months before the same travel date, and total after taxes: $492.
double the cost! fkn nuts. thanks to pointless war
#travel #politics
yep, and ppl think having red light cameras, having to stop at red lights is government overreach..
can't believe that's the mainstream belief
