Disempowering large, central sources of truth like mass media and government is probably good in the long run but we're in an anarchic atomization of truth that's not great to live through even if it's probably unavoidable.

Supporters get access to Fox Focus: energetic focus music for people who don't vibe with what people usually call focus music. It's energetic, shifting, but still chill enough to get out of the way. https://clubhouse.kyefox.com/collection/2050642

"Sorry for Party Rocking" but in the style of a letter from the 1800s

Domino meme: Lord Byron cooks up a ghost story competition when everyone got bored at another one of his tiresome orgies->a handful of writers invent science fiction

Invisible floating points are a menace. I didn't have all the cells in one column set to currency, so the calculations done on them came out about a dollar off. There's definitely never been a movie plot based on this.

As an alternative, if it's not _your_ jam but you know someone who would be into it, you can gift a subscription to them. I am going to get BitWig studio (upgrade from 8-track) before the current sale ends. Early on I'll be focused on playing with the poly grid, so expect some posts with […]

A long time ago, in an IRC channel far away, I mentioned I was learning C++. Someone said: "I wish I could still learn stuff. I'm too old." I asked how old he was. We were the same age. I hope his attitude changed in the years since because 18 sure is early to decide you can't learn anything.

It was sad watching artists rip down years, decades even, of web galleries full of comments and stats and proof of life before generative AI just to reupload it with some sketchy anti-AI overlay applied. Training methods mooted it almost instantly, and the damage to art history is permanent.

I promise I won't retaliate against all the people who were like "lol why doesn't the south just spend billions maintaining snow preparedness for 48 hours of snow every 2-3 years" when they're struggling with heat they aren't prepared for from my heat pumped, sealed, and insulated palace.

These are all my music projects up to 2026. Paying Patreon supporters get it with their support. For everyone else, the first 100 buyers get it for 50% off. This is the equivalent of being a $5 patron for the remainder of the year. https://clubhouse.kyefox.com/posts/2016-2026-162342979

Mass culture had problems. We were just used to them and largely took them for granted. Atomic culture for a century or two will do us some good. I think having a million different, isolated incubators for new ideas is good, but some people do miss things having mass appeal.

My personal precarity hazard is elevated, more than usual. Ten patrons joining the current five at the present average of $10/month would get me up to where I was able to handle it the last time I was in the situation I'm concerned about. Reposts also help! https://clubhouse.kyefox.com/membership

It's 2016. u-he's free synths make it easy to put good sound to my amateurish melodies. It's 2026. u-he's free synths make it easy to put good sound to my amateurish melodies on Linux.

It turns out all that dust in cabinets older than my country some UK people brag about is black mold. (context: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jk-rowlings-black-mold)

Imagine it's 20 years into the apocalypse. You're chatting with other survivors at a settlement when one jokes about finding this text at some hospital in Atlanta. Funny joke. Everyone laughs. You flash back to 20 years ago, fighting to hold a double door back as a friend, now long missing […]

The kind of people who deserve launching into the sun are unworthy of the monumental project of doing it. Better to much more cheaply hurl them into the cold, endless vacuum left in Sol's wake.

If you're looking for your first audio recorder and think "I don't need one with XLR inputs," think again. I thought that with my zoom h2n back in 2018 and wish I'd spent a little more on one with at least one input.

Something I started to notice is some people become fixed in an era. They might have been progressive for that era, but the world moved on and they didn't. They would have marched with MLK, but gay rights are too far. Or they were pro-gay rights in the 90s, but trans rights is too far. And so on […]

Some people have so fully bought into the blue state/red state lie that it's led them to what I can only describe as actual evil. It goes so deep people will even say nonsense like "it's not the kids fault their parents voted poorly" as though they have any idea how the parents voted. It's a […]

I hurt my tailbone once and the whole time it was recovering I thought about how unfair it is to have the thing to injure but not the thing to play with.

The greatest lie TV ever told is that Interpol is a police agency with cops with guns and badges and authority.

I remember being anti-feminist until I finally listened to all the friends telling me to read bell hooks and Judith Butler. I realized anti-feminists/MRAs are rank amateurs in their criticism of feminism next to Black and queer feminists.

It's hard enough questioning what we believe about ourselves. Questioning what we believe about others is another much harder level. A recurring issue I see is people who've done the work on gender and sexuality re: their own experience fail to do that work with their beliefs about other identities.
