gmail just showed me a preview of an AI-reply I could use to respond to an email, and while I shouldn't be so shocked, I was truly flabbergasted that the answer it composed drew from recent in-person conversations (as spied on by my phone) and my browsing history (to divine my travel plans). creeps.

a piece I wrote last year about dembow dominicano for Hyperlocal is now online:
hyper---local.com/magazine/dem...
a post-script today would add that the recent Tokischa collabs with Ice Spice and ASAP Rocky suggest that dembow might have more room for English verses than reggaeton.
I love the idea of trying to fire a dog. Good luck with that.

Boston's Prudential tower, lit up in green because the Celtics were playing
Boston's Prudential tower lit up in red, white, and blue because we're bombing Iran?
far prefer the Pru to tell me the Celts are playing than that we're bombing other countries

the impressive choppa (scammer) code-switching is the big sell here, but I can't get over the irony that at the same time as this dembow lawsuit, dancehall drums have gravitated toward a 3-2 clave pattern (as also heard in trap and afrobeats).

just answered an unknown call with a local number. I know they're often spoofed but it could have been the dentist. anyway I said hello, was answered by the first two measures of Satie's Gymnopedie #1, and then they hung up on me.
maybe it was the dentist?
an egg laid by our chickens. it has a bunch of bumps around the crown, looking like one of those bizarre decorative gourds. calcium deposits, I think?
sometimes eggs come out looking like decorative gourds

también he escrito sobre bailes profanos/sagrados, pero en el contexto de los EE.UU.,

gracias por la mención! escribí en 2012 sobre bailes como el perreo, pero más como un objeto de represión racista, edadista, y patriarcal, y como un recurso cultural:

this is not what you're asking for, but this just dropped and I have to share. not much doo-wop on the timeline rn. (will give some thought to more haunting ones.)
