And Lo, for the Earth was empty of Form, and void. And Darkness was all over the Face of the Deep. And We said: 'Look at that fucker Dance'.
These are the albums I've had on rotation this week. A few first listens. Lots of rediscovered favourites.

This thread is utterly extraordinary. I both have a new respect for Home Alone and am laughing my ass off
But the wet bandits are also gods. They take fatal injury after fatal injury and they just dust themselves off and continue their relentless pursuit of Kevin. It should be horrifying, but
Kevin’s innocence obscures this.

Jeremiah Jae - "Raw Money Raps"
2012
This album was waaaay ahead of it's time. This is definitely the first time I heard that slow, almost lazy sounding style that a lot of current rappers like MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt excel at. Really great stuff if you're open to it.

My most woke opinion is that "woke" at root is a beautiful concept: active socio-political consciousness in the context of the Black American liberation struggle. And the way it's been turned into a sneering pejorative is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in Western political discourse.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:
