My new album 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮 is out now! Through this release I wrestle with what is public and private, true and false, as the world slides deeper into a fascist surveillance state.

Resign right now, you useless, ineffective, Quisling little coward. Go count your money and get out of the way for someone who cares about saving America from this tyranny.
You did this, and we all know it.

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

A good morning only to the Zohran straights
This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Actually, I say let's go ahead and let these guys brand AI slop as Web 4.0. Hear me out: this framework accepts that Web 3.0 really was just 18 months or so of people trying to sell cartoon jpgs for profit, and establishes a trend line wherein "AI platforms" are the next devolutionary step.
I just got an email declaring "Web 4.0 is dawning."
No it isn't. Shut up. What is wrong with you? Have some fucking self-respect.

Teen Vogue changed my life and their politics team was doing incredible journalism comparable to very little other publications. I can't say I'm not disappointed with this decision. Sending y'all love❤️
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

![Scan of a review and the cover of Plow Up Magazine, the review reads: FIELD RECORDINGS DISTOPICI; Yann Novak; Continuity • DL Room40 • 3t-31:12; Partendo da 28 loop di registrazioni ambientali e suoni sintetici Novak costruisce 3 pezzi che vogliono essere una riflessione sulla manipolazione delle informazioni, soprattutto quando i mezzi tecnici a disposizioni sono molto potenti e raf-finati. Sullo sfondo ci stanno le questioni dell'uso dell'Al come strumento di controllo sociale visto come eterogenesi dei fini (William Gibson docet). Musicalmente ne esce una ambient pa-cata, vagamente inquietante, come una specie di colonna sonora per "2001 Odissea nello spa-zio" al rallentatore. Con l'esponenziale crescita del flusso di dati, vuoi vedere che la vera disto-pia si nasconde nella lentezza?

If you wear these you are both a loser and a creep. Hope that helps.
