That's just not how dreams work.
I hate these people so much. I hate everything they are doing to ruin whatever little genuinely good shit this stupid, shitty country had going for it.
I'm normally just a mild-mannered cellist and landscape photographer of no note, but seriously.
Fuck you.
Add it to the pile of atrocities. I'm sure they're going to try to add me to it, and you too. If I had been forced to join the military I'd probably have ended up in the band corps or whatever.
“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
spoiler, the "cost" is a very modest subsidy (~$3.6m/y) for a great public good. i think the headline is to bait anti-socialists into reading about effective government.
City streets will be closed to "non-essential vehicular traffic" from 9 p.m. Sunday to noon on Monday and there’s no Citi Bike after 8pm tonight. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/22/s...
I talk often about breaking out of walled gardens, that you don't have to be on corporate-web in order to be on the web.
This is a fantastic article about the problem and how to (pretty easily) fight it. Well worth reading.
Also, @strange.website is a rad human being.

The last block of a bike lane on Ashland Place in Downtown Brooklyn has remained unfinished for years thanks to meddling by Adams advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin.

90 minutes well spent.
Years ago, when i was in COLLEGE, Milton Babbitt came to speak on various things, and he used the phrase "thoroughly modern MIDI" at least three times during the week. Well i just came up with "Buzzfeed Berkely". Now i just have to make enough people hate me to care
compound meter realness
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.
I think Carol's cul-de-sac and Manousos's self-storage facility are pretty deft metaphors.
From the GUNK newsletter "We’d like to pay our respects to the many venues that have shut down in 2025, due to rent costs, affordability, and other factors. Thank you for opening your doors to live music and connection.<3 The Owl Music Parlor Intercomm Earthly Delights Heaven Can Wait Bushwick Public House Rabbit Hole Our Wicked Lady Saint Vitus Wavefield Brooklyn Made"
The New York-based DIY show listings zine GUNK published this list of local small-scale music venues that closed in 2025. It is so hard to keep a community-oriented music space open in this city. I really hope whoever leads Cultural Affairs for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will take this seriously.
There will be a full accounting. If not now, if not in 3 years or 3 decades. Eventually. jjoohhnn.com/photo/greenw...

wouldn't it be wild if calculators worked like this
it's almost as though an LLM can't "know" or "deduce" anything that hasn't already been written by a person, let alone the truth
Shirokuma Cafe. Lots of walking and public transport, occasional car trips to the countryside. The two main human characters ride delightfully contrasting bikes, road and hybrid. And this one-off episode about mid-life crises.
i assumed it would be butter, being France and all.

I'm so relieved to have learned there's a way to turn off the swipe-right Google dashboard.
Their finest work. I want this poster on my wall.
i just went to reheat some coffee and almost entered my PIN number into the microwave

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's address to Muslims resonates with me because 1) I'm capable of empathy and 2) sympathy: my mom is a Filipina immigrant and I remember all the times she worried I might be mistaken for a terrorist because of my appearance, imploring me to shave and look "meek as a lamb"
