As a newcomer to this platform, I’d like to share some of my music, starting with my debut album, "in finite." This album blends progressive and post-rock influences with cinematic elements, showcasing some of my most diverse work to date.

Yesterday The Intercept posted the piece I wrote for them to X. That account has 800K followers. As of now, the post has 5,500 impressions, 8 likes, and the only reply includes a Pepe the Frog image and the n-word.
So yes, seems like the algorithm is working as intended!

I was in the Holocaust Museum recently and a key part of what it teaches is how Americans kept railing and polling against allowing in Jewish refugees fleeing. I have picture after picture after picture. I’ve been wondering how long it would take them to delete this from the museum, and here we are.
Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost.
We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable.

He is the most dangerous crackpot in America, but you don't have to take my word for it. Here are NINE former directors of the CDC saying the same thing.

Having a good time in New Orleans atm, but three different bartenders have told me that this is the worst non-COVID summer they've ever seen—one of whom has worked in the French Quarter for *forty years*.

You could fund 90 percent of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting budget for two years with the public money Trump is going to spend retrofitting the plane Qatar gave him -- which he plans to keep when he leaves office.
Show me your budget, and I'll show you your values

This is precisely what I was getting at here in regards to cancel culture. There are people have been unjustly cancelled, but so many of the people who claim to have been, when you dig into it, turn to just be terribly unlikable, and so their colleagues justifiably wanted nothing to do with them.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

As all these Spotify Wrapped posts pop up I’d like to remind you that Spotify pays musicians about $0.003 to 0.005 per stream, they’ve demonetized 86% of the music on the platform, and their founder/ CEO has cashed out almost $400m in shares since last summer.

Normalize saying “I need to think about that.”
I want to write about something very stupid that happened to me yesterday. I don’t want to do it in a self-serving way but I do think it illustrates a good point. As the pardon news broke I was asked a question about it and I didn’t have a clear answer so I just said I had to think about it.
