This is what I've been working on all summer. It's my first book, called Escape Velocity: Explorations of Digital Culture and its Discontents 2019-2024. It's partially a retrospective of my time doing No Escape but it also features multiple revisions of old work and five entirely new essays.

Discord is how I keep in touch with games friends, site supporters, colleagues and interview subjects. I'm extremely not looking forward to finding some other goddamn website or app to migrate that activity over to, only for all this shit to happen again later on

I think part of the reason I feel so strongly about mfs reacting poorly to Bad Bunny is that I was raised on the notion that music genuinely was an int'l project—even before the internet, ad-hoc networks of mail order distros, zines full of int'l scene reports and how-to-tour guides connected punks.

Come for the WNBA proposal update, stay for me writing the word "MAHAvatars" while talking about an MLB players news item
Notes: WNBA proposal, angry MLB owners, weird MLBPA licensing - Marc Normandin is creating baseball coverage, featuring leftism
The WNBA finally made a counterproposal, MLB owners are mad about Kyle Tucker, and the MLBPA made a curious licensing deal.

music is a global project man idk

if you can't bring yourself to open up to experiences from parts of the world you're not in/have never been to, I just feel bad for you at this point. Life is so fucking rich when you feel joy in unfamiliar things

international punk, metal and hardcore got me through last year in a way I will never be able to fully articulate and my life, selfishly, is so much fuller for being able to experience that connection and joy of music, regardless of my ability to speak and understand it immediately.

Will happily delete if wrong, but all the “bad bunny gave his grammy to Liam Ramos” posts really feels like a case of how misinformation spreads in real time - one person says “it looks like him” and another QTs it like “it sure does!” and then it’s a fact.

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
