You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

This.
Be a decent sociable person, first and foremost.

Don't look at interactions as transactional contests you use for career gain and status.
Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

Just so much BS that this planet has to put up with.

Tech is out of control.

Why I Quit Streaming And Got Back Into Cassettes
In the age of Spotify and AI slop, tapes remind us what we’re missing when we stop taking risks.

a lot of folks responding to this telling me they’re hesitant to go back to tapes bc machines have eaten them. very real!

honestly my intention wasn’t to convince ppl tapes are superior but that physical / limited media reinforces better listening habits.

that being said…

Always very pleased to see this idea spreading. I like the underlying premise that a relationship with music is a practice of devotion to one another, which is exactly the kind of weaponry we need in the war that's being waged on our spirit

Will never understand the libidinal need for ppl to rush to RateYourMusic and clock it 1-5 stars immediately after listening to a record for the first time. Gamified metrics got ppl jonesing to turn magic into data

the whole point of these fucking things is de-skilling / convincing ppl not to use your brain. this entire idea of “AI skills” is a farce designed to manufacture consent by creating the myth that GenAI will create new jobs.
I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it

me: i just feel like nobody wants to date anymore because we’re all being pushed to our breakpoint and have learned to fear relationships as negative commitment instead of collaborative joy
