country went to hell when auto shops put these in in place of a glass carafe that had been on the burner continuously since the Truman administration

This really highlights the foundational importance of The Bluesky Way (“immediately block anybody who says anything even remotely unchill to you or to anybody you like”)
Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check

Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

Sí, vienen épocas duras. Tenemos que cuidar los unos de los otros, expresar y expandir el amor que sentimos por los nuestros, disfrutar del arte, hacernos plenos (quizás espiritualmente). En tiempos macabros nos queda la luz que somos.

somebody asked me why we play Waylon Jennings Live in E, a full step up from the record, and the answer is “just played it in E by accident once and then it became a song in E”

Oh, Warner Bros. Classics just uploaded the entirety of “Barry Lyndon” on YouTube. For free.

If you’ve never watched it - or even if you have - check it out.

It’s a catastrophe over on Mixcloud. Good DJs with utter trash covers. You’re not obligated to say “well, what the hell, can’t fight the tide.”
You can too. It’s real easy just don’t repost this junk
Weird increase in decent people posting AI art. Even if it’s anti Musk/Trump it’s still visually ugly and morally fucked slop. I’m started muting and blocking people who do it habitually.

#horrorsky I’m seeing people talking about Boots by Rudyard Kipling after the 28 Year Later trailer, and I wanted to share the record of the public domain recoding that was used
Performed by Taylor Holmes, recorded in 1915, somehow even more unnerving than the trailer

One of the very few things I've done that I think is actually kind of spooky.
Photo with phone--Background is actually quite a bit darker than it appears here.

Something a lot of journos have forgotten
the maxim of journalism shouldn't be to get yourself a sinecure to the powerful but to speak for those on the end of harassment and state power
I would not want people to post stuff from my medical file without consent and I don't think other people in journalism should do it without consent

maybe I'm too much of a squish though
