For the record we - with about 170 people other people - did kill the Internet last night.

somehow tickets are selling for this so grab yours now!
And if you wanna go real bad but you’re broke please hit me up and I can send you a secret code.
You can buy pirate a DAW, get a cheap interface, and buy a keyboard or guitar for roughly the cost of Suno’s Premier tier.
The equipment won’t be great, but it’ll be good enough to make music.
My algorhythmic worlds collide with @jaredhenderson.bsky.social (via @tedgioia.bsky.social's Honest Broker Substack) interviewing @add-hawk.bsky.social about his new book THE SCORE which I very much want to read soon.
In the meantime, give this a watch.

I’m a bit skeptical of what’s going on there. I suspect lots of those posts are just bots being prompted to make posts intended to go viral.
New video out today on why everything feels “fake” now. AI grandpas, the history of photography, modern movies abandoning realism, vibecession, etc.

My phone keeps autocorrecting ‘ICE’ to ‘ivermectin’
I expect HEB shelves to be empty the day before a storm. Milk, toilet paper, that sort of stuff.
I did not expect them to be out of cat food.
I was a little worried about this weekend’s ice storm, then I saw Ted Cruz was leaving the state for the weekend. Now I’m terrified. He’s the best predictor of catastrophic weather we have.
The War on Privacy by @jaredhenderson.bsky.social .
Because of technologies like #Flock's AI surveillance cameras, people are thinking about the right to privacy again. This video explores how we've lost our #privacy to corporations & the government, but also how we willingly gave it away.
AMAZING introductory crash course to why privacy matters, how it's affecting you right now, and what you can do about it!

Yeah, this is very worrying. I watched a YouTube video by @jaredhenderson.bsky.social yesterday that discussed Ring, Flock, and privacy in general.

I’ve hung around on Twitter, but I finally reached my limit. I have very little following here, but I guess this is where I’ll be posting now.
For lawyers in Minnesota who want to resist the ICE occupation: forms.gle/YK9mVYTft1Lt...
So many folks in our legal community are ready and eager to get involved. But right now, a lot of work is being done in a decentralized way, by groups without bandwidth to organize. Let's coordinate efforts.
That cop is now medically retired and gets a $2,500/month pension for PTSD related to the shooting.
He followed instructions and still ended up dead. He was murdered.
Yesterday’s shooting brought to mind the 2016 shooting of Daniel Shaver. Shaver was given inconsistent orders by two cops — one said to crawl closer, the other said don’t. He crawled forward and was shot.
The cop who killed him - who had YOU’RE FUCKED engraved on his rifle - was found not guilty.
One thing I really did not expect about the Trump administration was how absolutely tasteless they would be. I expected the power grabs and the shamelessness, but I thought they’d dress it up a bit better.
This is my Christmas
Wrote a book about logical positivism and existentialism, put Wittgenstein on the cover.
New video up on YouTube today, starting with a story about an AI company that wanted to ‘clone’ me so that I could monetize my audience by selling them conversations with a chatbot.

I have submitted my book manuscript. Now I’ll be waiting for a month or so for editorial comments. Then the real work of revising begins.
I pitched a 12-chapter book at 60k words. I’ve submitted a 9-chapter book at 68k words.
