Newspaper photo of a group of cats huddled together on a satellite dish with the headline, "Outdoor cats are using $500 Starlink satellite dishes as self-heating beds."
Cats are and always have been cyberpunks
I'm never online here anymore, but came back to say I'm organizing the warehouse rave of the century in Berlin, October 2nd.
Mad line up, world-premiere spatial audio setup never seen before at a rave and it will likely sell out. Grab a ticket while you can!

totally forgot about this platform. Is anyone still active here?
anyhow, here's an album of transcendent and deeply atmospheric black metal full of opulent melodies cascading like molten obsidian. highly recommended, especially for headphones.

What I loved even more is how a local Live Nation owned company blocked us from doing a show with an artist we've been trying to get for years, only to request the same date for the same artist at the same club. Luckily the club said no.
Love how underground artists finding success means they instantly join big management companies & agencies such as Wasserman, who make local organizers who supported them for years put in "competitive offers", meaning they have to compete with Live Nation & such.
Two of the deported are trans women, one is being deported to the USA. Depraved.
"...three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification"

Here's a sick mix to kick off this week by Berlin-based DJ Fukinsei! Caught her at 6am on Friday & it was easily the most radical thing I've heard all year thus far.
A heavy-weight hour of mutant footwork, hardcore jungle and dubstep architectures!

The money being poured into AI far outpaces the Manhattan Project ($30b today) and Operation Warp Speed ($18b) combined, and rivals the cost of the entire Interstate Highway System ($114b) - for gains that are much much more speculative.
42 today. If you want to make an old man happy, please consider donating to PANZMA (Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association), who are currently doing incredibly important medical work in Gaza.

We've taken the paywall down for this one.
MOURAE turns Galician folklore into a phantasmagoric queer mythological odyssey, rich with celestial elven energy and built on a foundation of glitched neural dreamscapes.

This is very very good dance music.

Flawless mix, 10/10 execution by Animistic Beliefs 👌

In short: The flashy visual style matters more than the actual music being played. 3/3
Video streams used to give comprehensive visual context, but the TikTok-fication of social media replaced musical content and context with visual aesthetics & platform-specific presentation. 2/3
It's not that we have too many DJ sets online, but that most lack helpful context. A tracklist gives you info, a write-up provides background, and a thoughtful concept gives meaning. It's all about making the artistic intent visible 1/3
NEW: Dataminr, an official X partner, is helping the LAPD surveil protests against the Israeli war on Gaza across both in LA and across the United States. This includes tipping the department off about protests that are still in the planning stages. theintercept.com/2025/03/17/l...
Moved to Berlin exactly 20 years ago today. I think I did quite well for a small town punk with a bad hair cut and a somewhat ok taste in music.
Apparently Tesla is making more money with Bitcoin and selling carbon credits than with cars
The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists
After the enshittification of platforms we are getting the enshittification of media

Seeing the unbearable police violence against female protestors on Saturday in Berlin, I had to look at the statistics to understand how bad the situation in Germany really is when it comes to police brutality and justice for its victims.
Spoiler: It's pretty bad.

learn, build & organize, because an educated working class is what they truly fear.
Hot take: we should leave billionaires alone and instead (1/2

Cellebrite, the ubiquitous company that cops use to unlock phones and copy evidence, is now offering cops AI to summarize chat logs, audio messages, more. Civil liberties experts already concerned about AI hallucinating for cops www.404media.co/cellebrite-i...
Capitalism has so thoroughly colonized our collective psyche that cruelty has become not just a byproduct, but a perverse form of systemic gratification, rendering humanity addicted to its own dehumanization.
