“I have lived through many wars in Gaza, from when I was a child until I myself became a father of three. Like an overbearing guest, the war came and went as it pleased, leaving behind many scars. Time was only able to mend a few, while the rest painfully persisted on, never fully healed.”

First Floor blog discusses how private equity firms like KKR and Superstruct have shifted from their defensive Summer position and are now playing the "cancel culture & digital bullying" card on the offensive. Crucial issue for the future of festivals!!

Kind reminder that everything you see on the internet is marketing, and the music industry is not your friend.

The metabolic logic of AI slop! Now we’re talking!

I'm sure you all saw this while I was on vacations but Mr. Mark Ernestus, one of the originators of dub techno & founder of Hard Wax - a man of few words in real life as well - does the best ever interview and a special mix for @residentadvisor.bsky.social 2 hours of Amapiano??

Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever.

"It’s nothing so much as a repeat of all the many dumb articles about how Musk “failed” in his takeover of Twitter because he’d lost a ton of advertisers and hadn’t turned a profit. As if that was the point." by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-dark-l...

Good post about how we have omitted friction in the digital world, as the real world is neglected and left to be full of friction.

There's also a micro-genre called Outrun, inspired by games like Turbo Outrun, is it similar? :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF61...
