perhaps it was because of this major goof which TBH would kinda ruin the novel for me

how is it possible that Jeff VanderMeer's out of print Predator novel was never published in the UK and then excluded from the 672-page COMPLETE PREDATOR OMNIBUS published in 2018

More fun to read a Grimes fan puking over her dark and incredibly stupid transformation rather than arriving at the conclusion that the album she made shortly before initiating her "tragic entanglement" with Musk is still "wall-to-wall bangers." Wow.

Tragic? She knows Musk, this is what she wanted.

Boomkat pulled Fernow's nazi-aligned black metal band Ash Pool back in 2021 – an acknowledgement of his links to nazi artists – but they still have almost 50 Vatican Shadow albums listed.

It's a bad time to be connected to fascist sympathizers like Fernow 's collaborators Akitsa and Mikko Aspa.

analytics + social media metrics are bad for my neurochemistry but I never get tired of doing weird mixcloud numbers where my understandably unpopular mix of goth livity and wooden techno is #10 on the worldwide dub chart and #30 in the world music category

I already pay for several domains such as my old Into The Green Wordpress blog. If I stop paying for the domain, the blog archive remains, just without a custom URL.

Still thinking about this self-described creep in bulky $400 Facebook-branded glasses recording high res video as he stops dead in his tracks and stares directly at another person's purse or something and says out loud “Hey Meta. HEY META. Is this bag Gucci?”

My brain reacts to the world by playing Danzig's "Tired of Being Alive" at least once a week and I take great comfort from the story behind the music, a profound sense of relief in knowing that I am not alone in my suffering.

I also appreciate these examples of AI helping us to interact with the real world. How many afternoon walks have been spoiled because I couldn't decide whether or not to touch a dead fish, or determine if the purse I am staring at is Gucci.

Still on Substack since I made the very wise decision to attempt extrication from the whole of Adobe CS simultaneously with migrating to Ghost, but we'll make it out eventually.

As White suggests, Substack's doing social networking because like Google and FB, they don't want writers or readers to leave. They won't turn back from that.

As another problematic fav used to sinng, "The secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go."

Back to Merchant's dilemma: "stay here, and push back" or join the consumer boycott. As with Spotify, my decision will have minimal impact. But I have minimal faith that users can force Substack to be more ethical.

It didn't work with Bandcamp, even.

A pastoral Buddhist interlude and into a third act where there is no light other than the flames of exploding vehicles, flashbacks of youthful camaraderie that only deepen the mortal suffering that arises from the pursuit of financial gain, fratricide with a brother's skull the only witness. Gatdam.

• Anthrax is very cool but not an easy listen in 2025 and if you are listening to extremely dated metal why Anthrax when you could go with Suicidal Tendencies, the only thrash band that could easily be mistaken for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cypress Hill, and/or Black Flag depending on the camera angle

You can grow weary of having stuff and also do the "don't discard all of your physical media" thing by making exceptions for 20 year old unopened promo CDs from indie rock bands you've never heard of and White Town CD singles that can be streamed on youtube.

This two-part essay is inspired by and indebted to Hanif Abdurraqib and his incredible basketball memoir There’s Always This Year. He is the best at this.

Instead of paraphrasing random sentences from trauma care manuals there's a surprising number of charming AP English-style references to existentialist philosophers. For example the Heidegger name-drop in this world-weary review of Dead Conspiracy's 2016 album Dead Conspiracy:
