R.I.P. Joseph “Country Joe” McDonald, frontman of counterculture folk-rock icons Country Joe And The Fish. He wrote the Berkeley band’s most enduring songs including the Vietnam War protest anthem “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag” and “Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine,” a Hot 100 hit. McDonald was 84.

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

There’s a lesson to be learned here.

That lesson is: FUCK THE USE OF AI TO SUPPLANT THE ARTS, and anyone who attempts to use it to replace human creativity should be mocked and ridiculed to the degree that no one would dare attempt to follow in their footsteps 🖤☠️

Sustainable band lineups include four cool people (Ramones), four dorks (Weezer), or two cool people and two dorks (Cheap Trick). Unsustainable band lineups include one cool person and three dorks (Pixies)

In discussion with a computer scientist from the University of Cambridge last night:

Me: "you've described some of the things that AI is good at. How would you describe the category of things it's not good at?

Butterfly discovery meme but is the consequences of capitalism

it's crazy that being like "how do i explain gay couples to my kids?" isn't an unthinkably embarrassing to say in 2025. it's actually incredibly easy to explain, that should be like indignantly saying "how am I supposed to explain to my kids where the sun goes at night? did a bird steal it?!"

Did I offend you? Try seeing things from my perspective. Narrow-minded, misinformed, frightened.

Yes if we lived in a different world then who cares about some new computer thing, but we live in a world where like 5 companies are doing everything they can every day to fuck us constantly and they are the ones pushing the "we're going to fuck you" machine most enthusiastically. No thanks!

Yesterday, someone in my office told his manager he asked ChatGPT about a scientific thing, and her immediate response was "Jesus fucking christ" and I just started laughing.

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter
