Yeah, if it's for sure on you at some point soon-ish, then you may want to opt to plan it out. Any longer without for us would've started getting exponentially worse.

Yeah, I mean, could have been way way worse here than it just dying because it's older. Very, very thankful that this didn't all happen during winter or along with any flooding.

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

I was at Big Ears a few weeks ago with a team of seven tapers. We have a Google Drive folder (generously maintained by my friend Randy Bayers) with about 80 sets of music — a few more to come.

A lot about the world is very heavy right now but if a college football podcast that got jettisoned by Vox during the pandemic for not having a marketable audience can raise this much money for refugees in Atlanta in two days then just think of all the stuff we can all do together

Prego Pivots From Budget-Tier Pasta Sauce to Small Microphones That Listen to Your Family's Intimate Conversations Prego, the pasta sauce brand, announced a new lid-shaped device designed to record and preserve family dinner conversations.

Every day I read a news story that makes me feel like I need to apologize to at least one insane person in a John 3:16 van and today it’s this one

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

just thought you should all know that an argument is ongoing in the edit history for the costume band about whether quarter tones are "microtonal" or not

Would the correct way to pluralize it be Tims Onion?

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

Nowadays, experimental music makes up a tiny percentage of what people listen to. But in the early days of music, 40,000 years back, it was basically all experimental. That was the dominant scene back then, just doing weird vocalisations while someone’s blowing into a vulture bone.

You're in for a treat. They sounded fantastic in Chicago and the person that did their visuals was at the top of their game.

Nice. Have seen them (Acid Bath) at any of these reunion shows yet?

A very low quality screen grab of the scene in Cool Hand Luke where Luke is yelling at God to take his life any old time he wants, as long as God shows him he's there. Luke concludes that he is "just standing in the rain."

Did sound for the incredible Maurice Louca quartet last night, I'm helping with sound for a Tuvan throat singing trio tonight, when I get home I'm going to watch Cool Hand Luke while the storms hit, and tomorrow I'm seeing sunn0))). Band practice with Aseethe in there somewhere, too.

Not bad.

this is how you have to handle him and his lapdogs though. there was that really brief "weird" line of attack that was incredibly effective before they put the kibosh on it. they're freaks and clowns!! incompetent and ultimately off-putting

Thanks for sharing, had no idea and going to stop using them.

The Deepfake Nudes Crisis in Schools Is Much Worse Than You Thought An analysis by WIRED and Indicator found nearly 90 schools and 600 students around the world impacted by AI-generated deepfake nude images—and the problem shows no signs of going away.

NEW: Deepfake abuse incidents have been documented at schools in 88 countries, according to research by @wired.com and @indicator.media. One conclusion experts draw is that this is like other types of sexual violence: “Increasingly, the intent is humiliation, denigration, and social control.”

instead of posh hungarian baths & too much IG making you a bit jel, how about this. someone in your family has died, they kept getting discharged by various NHS teams for reasons you can't fathom but it's made the person who was caring for them in your family non-verbal. you book a train for the
