Just woke up from a dream in which Tony Montana is an Inter Miami forward giving a press conference but the bit is that he needs a translator to cull the profanity for reporters.

It's still striking to me that everyone presenting AI technology always sounds bored, like they either feel inconvenienced by having to explain its "power" or they know it's snake oil and can't bother mustering any more energy than is required hit the talking points.

In the 12 years since Dusted's move to Tumblr, I think my review of the new Irish Exit album is the only one to have been flagged with a content warning. See what the bots are hating on here.

Genuinely cannot believe there's new Mssingno in the world and that it is, comfortingly, a Brandy flip. I still think about how great that Christmas Eve '16 Rinse set is from time to time. youtu.be/RtNdQC4Rg5A?...

Was just reminded of how I told some guy dressed as Winnie the Pooh at a bar on Saturday that "You're not in the Hundred-Acre Wood anymore, you're in the jungle now." Completely forgot the context.

Awoke from a dream in which I was on a Russian oligarch's yacht where everyone around me was being called out in French but when the announcer got to me and couldn't ID me, I got up and started dancing obnoxiously to Ninajirachi and Daine's "It's You"

It's gotten a lot harder for me writing about anything lately, but I managed some words for a quiet gem of the '00s and one of my favorite dance songs of the century. On the legacy of Stickydisc Recordings:

There's no excuse for a misspelling on the first page of a Maggie Nelson book at this point. It's an unacceptable distraction that should never make it anywhere near print and everyone involved looks bad when it does.
