We look at metric governance, a structural phenomenon where administrative systems produce systematic harm through quantitative targets and selective measurement rather than explicit intent.

Éliane Radigue is not a composer who failed to succeed in the music industry and survived anyway. She never accepted the premise of the experiment in the first place, attempted to build a career, scale an audience, or translate practice into product on an industrial timeline. She simply worked.
Éliane Radigue: A Control Case
Not an edge case, but a control case. That distinction matters more than it first appears. An edge case reassures the system. It says: this is rare, exceptional, statistically ignorable. An edge cas...

If life is a fabric, holes wear thin, rips and tears happen, threads unravel. You mend what you can, patch what you must, and learn to live with the wear. This particular patch has had its stitches, its modest embroidery, its frayed edges-and it feels like time to let this little spell loose.

#FlyingSaucerAttack don't really enter the room. They're already there when you notice them. Their records don't announce a position or propose a future. They don't feel like interventions. They feel like something that was happening anyway, and happened to be recorded.

Hmmm, mages decked out in papier-mache plate mail to sidestep armor restrictions while not looking like the party’s glass cannon….
D&D mages should routinely disguise themselves as other classes.

If people know about your spells, they'll target you first. So, it is best for the party if no one knows you're the mage until you're ready to unleash your killing blow.

Next month I will launch Cairn Press.
I tried to make a publishing agreement that is fair, free, and mutually beneficial. Once the lawyer approves final contract I'll release it as CC-BY-SA, if possible. I've also written up a "plain English" version that you can read here:

There is a long-standing temptation to describe every new #Ulver album as a “reinvention,” as if the band were engaged in a restless chase for novelty. Neverland is not a reinvention so much as an adaptation—an adjustment to conditions that have changed, both around the band and within it.

Damon Krukowski's Why Sound Matters insists that sound is material, labor is real, and the way we treat both reveals what we value. Noise pollution, streaming's devaluation of recorded music, the saturation of shared soundscapes—these are not abstract problems.

Systems compress complexity into legible proxies, and someone always absorbs what the compression erases. The proxies offer clarity by flattening something that resists flattening. They also create a gap between what the number claims and what actually happens to people when the number is wrong.

Transformation. Bloom-through-death. A war that accidentally created a new ecosystem.

Amateur Hour is a TTRPG framework for playing incompetent criminals attempting elaborate heists that fail magnificently. Instead of pulling off the perfect crime, you watch everything collapse spectacularly while discovering that failure doesn't mean the end.

When Kendra Smith pulled off her vanishing act into the woods of Northern California, left behind in that puff of smoke were the two LPs from her previous and most recognized band, Opal. Their absence became structural rather than accidental, culminating n a brief, abortive reissue campaign.
