How did an album that began life in 1984 – fusing disco, folk, synth-pop and Chinese opera – end up as ‘one of 2026’s most thrilling releases’? And why does its creator call himself Nirosta Steel?

There are 2 kinds of people: those who think that playing Weekend at Bernie's works (how long is not part of the plan), and those who think it doesn't. Please filter your quest of understanding modern USA through that lens. There is SO MUCH more magical thinking here than you or me can handle. 🤯
Darach Ó Séaghdha@darach.bsky.social · 2mo agoThat's a long time to play Weekend at Bernie's
I don't know how many years ago it was, I would drive for 2 hours to meet @dosellekillsgods.bsky.social at #handsomecoffee in the DTLA Arts district. And we'd sit there with espresso and hope the #eggslut truck would come by. Now it's an international corporation and 3 blocks away. Time is a ____.

And there is also the acceptance? tolerance? de facto legalization? of all the other behaviors that happens in Hamsterdam. Navigating between that Scylla and Charybdis is impossible for any USian force, and there's something to heartily offend anyone and everyone. The Wire is still GOAT, if dated.
Cara Ellison@caraellison.bsky.social · 2mo agoWell because they have effectively legalised drug use and sales, which is not something a city can do. Even if it there is no other solution.

"...we know where the real information comes from and what we can be sure about and what we can’t."
Jackson Crawford@norsebysw.bsky.social · 2mo agoOften dedicated experts “know *less*” than the confident spewers of factoids, in the sense that we know where the real information comes from and what we can be sure about and what we can’t. E.g. I don’t know who Þjóðreyrir is but I know why you’re asking, and I’m sure about why I *can’t* know more.
