Can't stop doing stuff in Offbeat. Also can't stop thinking about Blippo+ and its great soundtrack. So here's some more of all of that. #picocad2

Just me, elaborate video featuring vintage clip art I dug up on archive.org, and new songs on stage before Kim Gordon on Friday. Ahhhh!
One time we brought a six-story, sixty-ton "polyphonoptic" piece of public art back to life for three incredible weekends in Los Angeles. Watch us get excited about it in the latest episode of Artbound on @pbs.org. youtu.be/So7E8jX-bvM

May we recommend the return of "hits" as the sole metric for online counting? No more views, likes, or plays. Go ahead, use it in a sentence, it sounds ancient and funny.
look, i rarely recommend video games, let alone tell non-gamers they should experience something, but Blippo+ is on sale for $9 right now and it's an incredible multimedia experience, presented in such a fun way

Yesterday we DJed Johnie’s Coffee Shop, an iconic LA diner built in 1956. In the middle of the set we convinced everyone to go outside and take a moment to appreciate its 6500 newly-restored flashing lights. Half of the place poured outside and we just looked up. Video by Jackie Forsyte 1/3
It was surreal just being at Apple Park during #WWDC26, but what an incredible cherry on top to have @blippo.plus honored as a finalist in the Apple Design Awards! To go from working in a vacuum for years to having our weirdo alien TV service honored at the highest level is truly special. 🙏📡❤️
just cancelled paramount+ and switched to blippo+ ♥️
My latest! I promise this story has everything: cannibalism, memory transfers, generational scientific controversy, unbelievable 60s worm cartoons—even the Unabomber makes a brief appearance.
Quanta Magazine@quantamagazine.org · 2mo agoIn the 60s, an eccentric behavioral psychologist named James McConnell pureed a bunch of worms and fed them to other worms. For years after, he claimed that the cannibal worms learned the ground-up worms’ memories. Could he have been… right? www.quantamagazine.org/are-memories...
In honor of our Apple Design Award nomination we wanted to share some ‘lil details of Blippo’s design we love. Blippo+ was designed by @teamyacht.com (w/ help from Femtofax & CUBIS! designer @theuniverse.bsky.social) w/ contributing design and implementation by developer @marklacroix.bsky.social.
Finishing off an accidentally themed ‘the queer kids are alright’ evening with the ending of Blippo+. Silly, beautiful, cheekily weird, unafraid of sneaking in avant garde drone and glitchy electronica, frequently hilarious. Get bent for a better world, people, and stay attuned.
i think nintendo switch + tv is the perfect way to play blippo+. you are all so lucky to live in times such as these.
