The old system, where you bought the things you liked from artists you liked, has been replaced by a hose that indiscriminately gushes culture over a listless populace, while any money goes to the owners of the pipe.

Its a huge story that is being completely ignored compared to other disasters that we've unfortunately had around the country. Indian Country Today is covering it and I've seen a few things in the guardian.
Here's a community helping with the disaster: alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Manson tripleneck
Hugh Manson has built some weird guitars for John Paul Jones. He's the one that built the famous acoustic tripleneck, and he also built the Lapaphone I posted a while back. Here's one of his latest creations. This tripleneck electric is kinda shaped like a Gibson Model F mandolin with an upper cutaway and 3 necks. The one on top is a mandolin, the middle one is an 8-string tenor guitar, and the bottom one is an 8-string bass.. The bass has two pickups, and the other necks have one. There's a volume, a tone control, and a neck switcher knob. It looks like the bass part might be detachable for easier storage.

I honestly can't stress enough that without student run and community radio Dollar Country would not exist. These avenues are crucial for young people to expand their musical tastes, build community, and learn there's people like them out there.

Terrified to announce 11/25/25 release. A journey of weird record stores, grimy clubs, and starting venerable label Bloodshot Records. History, memoir, how-to, and a cautionary call to support indie arts communities before they are gone.

Yeah. I don't install any of their products on my phone. I do use marketplace occasionally, so I have to go into desktop mode in order to chat with people via mobile browser. It's pretty annoying but better than having that crap on board. They still have lots of ways of tracking though
Honky Tonk Heart @honkytonkheart.bsky.social · 2d
I have to physically visit a group or a person's profile to see what they're posting, which cuts down on the rage quite a bit

I have an account just for marketplace and I installed one of those feed blocking extensions on my browser so I'd never see that shit.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

It turned out it was kind of hard to find the specific podcast episodes I was looking for. Here's the link and I'm still unclear if it's available outside the paywall. This is an exhaustive deep dive into a truly heinous organization. open.spotify.com/episode/6CPi...
