I love old Braxton on LP because sometimes I think the record is stuck but then the arpeggio changes slightly and I realize it is the actual performance.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

My favorite moon landing conspiracy is that it was faked but they hired Stanley Kubrick to direct it and he was so dedicated to make it look real he demanded that they shoot on location.

On a little weekend mini-vacay in Birmingham AL. (My wife is playing at EVA Sunday at 6pm if you are in Bham). Saw a great exhibit at Abroms-Engel Institute (www.uab.edu/aeiva/exhibi...) and had a nice hang at Good People Brewing. Get the pretzel bites. Bham is a nice town.

You know what would really help? If authors that people know and trust, many of whom signed on to the campaign asking Substack to change their policies, actually left. Because no one is going to listen to me when [redacted] and [redacted], not to mention [redacted] are still on there.

Because international student enrollment is so often used as a cudgel in discussions about immigration, this is a good time to remind people that international students aren't taking up spaces for US students at state schools, they are paying full tuition that FUNDS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR US STUDENTS.

I think something that many of us have a difficult time with (myself included!) is how much you separate the art from the artist. a lot of great art has been made by shitty people
I don’t enjoy book clubs, but I’d love to lead a discussion of this book, which tackles this issue in a thoughtful way

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
