for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!
![Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage.[1]
An organ in St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt in 2001 began a performance that is due to end in 2640. This makes it the longest running non-computerized piece currently being performed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiabq354dz537iuzii7lwylq56yyr4bcrzkj32by4z7fq3clewmssy)

COVID cautious leftist. Anarchurious, furious, still kicking. Let this radicalize you instead of lead you to despair. She or they, no preference on Bluesky. I make digital collages; ooo you want to see them so bad ooo Free Palestine
The fact that 25 MILLION adults under 35 live with their parents is more proof that this admin’s policies are failing young Americans. While we have the world's first trillionaire now, the federal minimum wage has sat at $7.25 since 2009! We don't have 2009 bills, so how can we survive off 2009 pay?

One woman in her mid-30s said her $60,000 annual income wasn't enough to cover all her bills after a breakup, leading her to move back home.

No filters. What the sun looked like in Portland this AM with all the smoke from the wildfires in the PNW
The narrativising of this is kind of maddening. OpenAI's model didn't "break free and hack HuggingFace." Meta's model didn't "break free and hack another company." Tech companies are blatantly doing illegal acts and saying their AI did it on it's own as a promotional stunt. That's it.

with apologies to the young man who left his extremely well-curated spotify account logged in on the hotel tv: if my daughter didn’t hear elmo’s alphabet rap we were all going to die
The man in line behind me kept commenting on my mask, eventually he tapped my shoulder and when I turned around he said: “you know it escaped from a lab, right?” and before I could stop myself I replied: “so why aren’t you protecting yourself?” and after that he was quiet.
things are going great over here in the grand old u.s.a., where citizens of the great satan overwhelmingly believe they are ruled by the little satan

While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · 8h agoThe Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
You want some trivia? This is the first year since 2002 in which the Dems won't be running anyone for Senate in three states: Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota. There is also a push to get the nominee in Montana, Alani Bankhead to drop out. If she does, the Dems will set the party record at 4.

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 8h agoIn that same interview, TC’s favorite “historian” talks about writing the foreword to a new book by Thomas777. That Thomas fellow (pictured below) has said that "Hitler will be remembered in 1,000 years as the warlord who prevented Soviet world domination."
Any anxiety or stress you're having about climate change now demonstrably being on a societal collapse pathway should be sharing this. We all have to become protestors actively doing everything we can to transform the world and buy more time. Every war ended and pipeline shut down is less carbon

When have we seen the media talking about how a ‘mild’ covid infection can lead to 3 years of risks? Be mindful of the articles saying ‘symptoms no more serious than before’ they are referring to the acute phase but not anything that might be a chronic post infection risk!
Jonathan Douglas PhD CPsych@jonathanconp.bsky.social · yesterdayCognitive dysfunction and fatigue remain prevalent at least 3 years post-infection, particularly affecting attention, processing speed, and working memory. Pts included both hospitalized and non-hospitalized.
It's interesting all the health workers speaking out in videos etc about the realities of the pandemic early times. I'm a health vulnerable person with a health vulnerable son. My uncle died of hospital acquired covid just last year I want to yell WHY DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT US? Wear a mask! 😷
The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
Convo at the grocery store: “Do you ride your bike every day?” “Most days.” “I see you with it. In my country, I wasn’t allowed to ride bikes. Because woman. I’m going to learn to ride. When I do, I’m going to tell you.” — Thanks for telling me your story, Bahar. (I live for these moments.)
This comrade has been working to raise enough for an AC unit for many days now. If anyone can help out, even a ilttle bit, you will earn a Chalk Girl blessing.

ICE abducted a pastor and neglected his medical needs to the point of paralysis. For over two weeks, ICE denied Gabriel Johnson consistent food, water, and his medications. This caused him to have a stroke and become paralyzed. And ICE won't his family talk to him. gofund.me/198f4650e
