I think you're on to something; I caught a post today where it was revealed in court filings that one of the deployments - PDX, maybe? - had claimed over 150 agents deployed, but in actuality it was more like 30.

I have them blocked, but @persport.bsky.social is taking artists' original work and posting it back in their own thread with AI slop, while using the language of "not feeling represented" in the original art.

They're a right-wing troll, referring to Mamdani & Jeffries as "kill-whitey" candidates

The merch sections of my Bandcamp bands include tons of pressings, sometimes bundled with shirts, usually not. A handful of bands that I follow will even do different limited art pressings (translucent glitter! swirls!) for the same EP.

I'd say that about 1/3 of the bands that I follow on Bandcamp do vinyl EPs fairly regularly.

no, Swan Lake has a long association with Dracula. Universal used it as the opening theme for Dracula (1931) and most of their 1930s monster movies, but Dracula was the first.

If you’re interested in California insurance issues, I just saw that insurance commissioner candidate Patrick Wolff (who is a chess grandmaster) will be playing 6-10 simultaneous chess games next Saturday at the Santa Monica chess park.

Would be a good chance to ask some questions in person.

Evidently it takes a 2.6 jolt for us to notice a nearby earthquake. The house creaked momentarily and both dogs jumped. Can't say that I felt it so much as I was notified of its presence.
