Ken Turner, the 100-year-old artist who flattened a Tesla with a tank: ‘I’m not a revolutionary, I’m a simple rebel’
The painter, sculptor and performance artist has devoted his life to making art available to the masses. Now with a new exhibition, the centenarian discusses inequality, inspiration, and why he won’t ...

Swifties already demanding "Taylor and Travis's Wedding (Taylor's Version)"
if they didn't make t-shirts that read "I went to Taylor and Travis's wedding and all I got was an NDA" they *really* need to fire their managers.
If Taylor Swift really wanted a private wedding venue she should’ve considered the National Mall.
trawling through the "archives" (i.e., stuff I didn't know was on an external teradrive) and dug up this somewhat chaotic / sputtery vertonen set from the lovely camp gay (RIP) in chicago, 2004. www.subvert.fm/vertonen/tra...
live camp gay july 2004 by vertonen - Subvert
recorded from my mixer at the absolutely stellar camp gay (2001-2005) in the fine city of chicago. a semi-chaotic set.

saw my new favorite bumpersticker yesterday: "gatorade should be thicker"
1. HOLY SHIT 2. HOLY SHIT Z'EV with hair! 3. @bedwards314159.bsky.social did you know about this?!
Robin Rimbaud - Scanner@scannerdot.com · 3mo agoAbsolutely extraordinary to see industrial maestro Z'EV make an appearance on The Gong Show in 1976, an amateur talent contest with a vast array of talent. Amazing! youtu.be/5P-YR38L6Ao?...
playing tonight (5/18) as part of illusion of safety. dan said he wanted to go "old school power electronics," so, to paraphrase the sodality, "and so I shall!" hope to see some folks there!
oh boy. so I'm leaning into the subvert.fm party with a "subvert exclusive" track (ooh la la!), but it's also free, so... it's a track I submitted to a beyonce remix competition in 2012. and why yes, I created a new genre, "making people sound worse than they are." www.subvert.fm/vertonen/tra...

hey gang: I've joined subvert.fm as an online platform for digital vertonen output (and eventually as a way to sell physical copies of ballast releases). my page = www.subvert.fm/vertonen, and more will be uploaded there soon.
And her daughter was born into a world with less rights than she had when she was born. Congratulations, Heritage Foundation and Donald Trump… You did that.
Tessa@amitessornotlol.bsky.social · 3mo agoSo gross indeed.
somewhere at elementary schools in Iran and the United States, you *know* kids have developed a game like red rover and are calling it the Strait of Hormuz
"back when" regional noise box sets were happening, it would've been awesome if someone relocated from place to place so they could appear on each release. I'm imagining by the fourth release some labelboss would be like, "look, you have to have residency for at least a year to be included."
aside from the other leaps of reality that occur in the 1967-68 Speed Racer (and they are legion), at the very least Pops and Mom Racer should be charged with child endangerment re: Spritle.
last month I digitized three early vertonen releases, and then two days ago I learned that tomorrow is bandcamp friday. so...incoming! vertonen.bandcamp.com vertonen: sound knots & orchestrations c-90 (1991) vertonen: anastasia c-60 (1994) vertonen: there is peace in providence c-90 (1996)
in the spirit of social media as a platform for confession, I will admit I intentionally (and thus deceptively) exited a Lowe's this morning through the "pro" door.
