If anything, it's cringe rather than sneer-inducing. But fun anyway.

Most of the time, if I'm listening to anything, it's a playlist of Boards of Canada on shuffle - usually while I work.

Otherwise, my music taste is pretty stalled these days wrt new music. Unwound got back together and I saw a couple of their shows, one in LA and another in Austin. The Blood Brothers also reunited and I have a ticket to see them in Dec. Melt-Banana just released a new album I haven't listened to yet.

My friend's band, Yuppie Killer, released their discography on streaming sites. They're a hardcore punk band of expats in South Korea from 2012-2017.

I play in a band, Constellation, and we're sending our first album to be mastered this week. Kind of throwback to 90's post-hardcore like Fugazi (yeah, we got cowbell) and Drive Like Jehu. Really excited about it.

Matt Yglesias Considered As The Nietzschean Superman

How is anyone able to read this article beyond this "Charlie Brown Had Hoes"-ass title?

 

Really, it was the headlines of Google's AI Overview pulling Reddit shitposts that inspired the return. If Reddit is going to sell its data to Google, then, you know, maybe flood the zone with sludge?

Christ, there's so much backstory here - just scrolling through long descriptions of Gerard's views and just thinking "based, based, based, based."

Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko's basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

“This isn’t just another stock to me. … I feel like it was God Almighty that put it in my lap,” he said. “I’ve just got to hold on and let them do their job. If you go on emotion, you’ll get out of this thing the first time it goes down.”

Fuck. He figured it all out.
