I've probably said this before, but if you're a band about to play a show, you should make sure not to have any Can tracks playing beforehand, as they will make your own seem anticlimactic.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

I hope somebody's compiling ALL of the alarmist bullshit responses to Madmani's win. Shove the receipts down their throats when their hyperbolically dire predictions fail to materialize.

Apropos of nothing except for ICYM, here's a review I wrote 4 years ago of Seesselberg's analog-synth masterpiece, Synthetik 1. It's as if Kraftwerk swerved away from streamlining operations post-Ralf & Florian and got WAY deeper into abstraction & crazy tones.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

What that 60 Minutes “interview” showed is Trump is out of his mind and CBS News is now in the Fox “News” business. Which is to say that “interview” had nothing to do with news. What a sad, disgrace 60 Minutes has become. Also, note: Not a single question about Epstein files coverup, Maxwell.
