No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with

CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

when the song goes "I'm skanking of a ska Skamas" it's mostly likely a ska Christmas parody song

The Gateway Tape is only #51 on @tabsout.bsky.social's Top 200 Tapes of 2025, which means that I failed the top 50. But you know what, I love competition - my next release on @strategictaper.bsky.social will do much better I promise! 🙏

ok we’re really all doing politics this morning and we need jokes. here I’ve got one: what did the Epstein files say to the person who, to please the admin, spiked a story about state-sponsored torture of prisoners charged with no crime? “I can buy you some time I guess — maybe sixty minutes”

With the constant attacks on academic research stretching across the globe, it is incredibly brave to nominate my tape, "Learning by Listening Vol. 9: Learning to Make Noise: Toward a Process Model of Artistic Practice within Experimental Music Scenes," as the best cassette of the year.

Just ran the numbers and it turns out that if you were to try to listen to 200 tapes end to end with no breaks, it would take you about 4 years. So we don’t know how @tabsout.bsky.social managed it, but somehow they did, and we are very excited to have STR tapes included among those.
