Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins has this strange duality where it’s one of the most moving and beautiful things in the alt rock canon, but also would sound absolutely right being sung by Charlie from Always Sunny
Also, when they decided it was important, billions upon billions could be spent to find a solution. It can be done again. For climate change, for poverty, for hunger… they just don’t want to. That is the only thing keeping problems from being solved. The powerful would rather hoard the wealth.
the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 3d agoI agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
Does anyone else have this thing making music… when I’m writing I can almost hear what I’m going for in my mind’s ear? Far clearer than my mind’s eye has ever been. Thing is internally I can put far more layers in than actually work in a physical space. Things clash when they have to share air.

To the prompt jockeys defending Suno and any other slopsong generators, let me be clear: You will never be taken seriously for your "music." No one likes AI "music," no one wants AI "music," No one respects AI "music." #indiemusic #songwriting #musicsky #musiciansky

So why are they forcing it on us? It’s estimated that 65,000 AI-generated songs are uploaded to Spotify PER DAY. At some point, it will be

Watching to the bitter fucking end out of grim duty is as close as I get to nationalism
The British instinct for electing fascist bellends competes with the British instinct for doing stupid stuff for the sheer unadulterated lulz. If he rebrands as Binny McBinface he might just do it.
A statement that would ring hollow even if his co-corruptor hadn't gone on national television and literally bragged about their co-corruption whilst receiving a tongue bath from his sycophant-in-chief.

“After it ended, the Belgian team’s social media account had a message to the U.S. on Twitter: “Overturn this.” Perfect. #WellPlayed #Belgium
Belgium beats, then trolls, U.S. team on Monday night
Even though it was tied, 1-1, after Malik Tillman scored another goal on a free kick just outside the penalty area, it never felt close.

Genuine cow-costume emergency. Fatherhood is an adventure.
Best wishes to all the beautiful, intelligent, wonderful humane people of America. We’re rooting for you hard.
Deep joy. Spent the afternoon waiting for a delivery from Appliances Online. Received a 4 hour window, then when it didn’t arrive was told the item was out of stock.
Big love in my heart for Australia - I miss the place frequently. Rooting for them hard tonight.
Again, the polls overestimate the support for fascism. Same thing happened in Wales in May. Mostly the bulwark was formed by progressives banding together to vote tactically. Reform may be ahead in the polls, but taken as a whole fascism is far from a majority. This can be repeated.
Half convinced that Restore is a psyop to make Reform look reasonable and electable. Either way, their combined votes were nowhere near yesterday. Pricks.
I bet not only Trump, but his entire White House team are blithely unaware of the optics here. But you can bet every other diplomatic service in the world is having a right laugh.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 2mo agoHe signed an unconditional surrender at Versailles? Come the fuck on.
They could have (and did) get him to sign absolutely anything as long as he didn’t have to admit he lost. £300 billion. Imagine what an actual good human being could have done with that much money. That much power. Given away to fascists by another fascist to reopen a shipping lane.
Surely “fuck the police” should be the one thing we can all agree on?
This is very good on the logical preposterousness of the trans bathroom ban. It simply cannot have been the intention of the Equality Act or the governments which administered it. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...
Important question time: Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin or mysterious third option?
New record for longest Sunbane track. CRAWLER - a slab of increasingly relentless dub techno wrung from the Elektron DN2/ST/DT2. Coming soon as part of PRODUCT_007 - the next in @wepn.bsky.social 's annual charity compilation series. Will get a preview up soon
The new Ed O’Brien record is really worth a listen. Didn’t connect with his first one at all, but this is great. Somewhere between Radiohead, Hippie Folk and classic rock. Lots of texture and a great Maggot Brain riff to close it off. Impressed.
1) allow them to annex every country in Europe? 51 states? Pah! Why not 80? 2) vote en masse to fix the fucking place 3) vote en masse to have their lunatic wing keel hauled 4) vote to return to the original 50 Job done. Now we just have to make him think it was his idea.
