posting Board of Canada stuff daily until they drop a new record.

My *album of the year* for 2025 is whatever is on this mysterious tape that @mikesandison.bsky.social posted a photo of last year on his Instagram.
a close up of a large studio tape reel posted by Mike Sandison on Instagram in June of 2024. Maybe it's BOC LP5?

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

(but sadly I've only heard 26 seconds of it)
the cover image for Boards of Canada's homemade cassette only release Acid Memories from 1989 that may or may not even exist.

After the demise of Omnivore, I switched back to Instapaper and it frustrates me. Too often I try to add an article to my queue, the pop up says "Saved!" and it never appears.

Almost everything the Trump tyranny is currently doing meets fascism’s definition of structural overreaction paired with the illusion of action. They cannot, for instance, conjure up enough actual criminal noncitizens to justify Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s illegal militancy, so they tow videographers behind them in the hopes that enough shaky cam can Greengrass a sense of danger into five cornfed assholes powerbombing an abuela. But the No Kings overreaction, which so clearly anticipates a loud public response, so aggrandizes the enemy that it’s hard not to see an anxious awareness of the depth of their unpopularity. Under ordinary circumstances, this wouldn’t be necessary. The “Times” gave No Kings the kind of wall-to-wall coverage it usually reserves for Israeli war crimes or a Republican administration illegally wiretapping Americans before an election. Which is to say, understated. The same outlets that proclaimed the tea party as America’s new reality in 2009 — despite being more astroturfed than a Houston Oilers highlight reel and goosed by millions in earned media coverage on Fox — mostly registered this summer’s No Kings event as something a handful of soccer moms did to get out of the house. It was just super. It’s great to see them keeping busy.

It really does put everything in perspective.
skeet from Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now" "I'm strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm" of course you do. You're twelve. "I don't want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal" hell yeah homie you're twelve. "Maybe if there's crime we should just send the army" bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

classic from @pixelatedboat.bsky.social
pixelated boat @pixelatedboat tweet screenshot: Wow, this extract from Wolff's book is a shocking insight into Trump's mind: On his first night in the White House, President Trump complained that the TV in his bedroom was broken, because it didn't have "the gorilla channel". Trump seemed to be under the impression that a TV channel existed that screened nothing but gorilla-based content, 24 hours a day. To appease Trump, White House staff compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel, broadcast into Trump's bedroom from a hastily-constructed transmission tower on the South Lawn. However, Trump was unhappy with the channel they had created, moaning that it was "boring" because "the gorillas aren't fighting" Staff edited out all the parts of the documentaries where gorillas weren't hitting each other, and at last the president was satisfied. "On some days he'll watch the gorilla channel for 17 hours straight," an insider told me. "He kneels in front of the TV, with his face about four inches from the screen, and says encouraging things to the gorillas, like the way you hit that other gorilla was good'. I think he thinks the gorillas can hear him."

the top comment on this story nails it.
a comment to the post about U2's wishy washy Gaza statement that reads: "Yet another U2 production that would have been vastly improved with the input of Brian Eno, who was clear, loud and-most importantly-on time with his condemnations of Israel's actions."

BREAKING: New Trader Joe’s sparkling water flavor alert 🚨

Verdict: very good.
A can of Trader Joe’s sparkling water tangerine vanilla flavor. It tastes like a fucking creamsicle and I love it.
