i built an ad-free listener-supported internet radio station. we play new music, forgotten classics, indie, alternative and some deeply weird stuff.

i write the software that runs it (worbler.bsky.social) and from time to time get to be one of the many real-live-human DJs making shows: uncertain.fm

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

20 yrs ago I started a new band. We had rehearsed all fall & played our debut show at Great Scott, Allston, MA on 11/15/05. I hoped we'd play a few shows, maybe record an EP. 2 decades, 5 drummers, and 11 albums later, here we still is.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.
