ANALYSIS: Even with Trump in office, election rigging conspiracy theorists have struggled to score wins or produce any evidence.

Colorado Gov Jared Polis' seemingly imminent clemency for Tina Peters would be a massive victory for those urging Trump to seize control of elections.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

your call is valuable to us, oh yeah? fucking answer it then

Zorn’s Naked City, Last Exit, and Fields of the Nephilim come to mind immediately.

And yeah, early Whigs were the definition of malevolent.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

These remarkable women of early electronic music pushed the boundaries of technology and composition, turning circuits, sine waves, and tape loops into music. https://disc.gs/3ZWRk1U

Wonderfully informative 🧵 on vinyl pressing

Finally got a chance to see ‘Eno,’ which was a treat, being a big fan of both Brian Eno and filmmaker Gary Hustwit.

Eno’s approach to and view of his art is always revelatory. The film is vaguely unsatisfying but a visual and technical feast, which makes it art in its own right.

"Come you masters of war / You that build the big guns / You that build the death planes / You that build the big bombs / You that hide behind walls / You that hide behind desks / I just want you to know / I can see through your masks" - Bob Dylan

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Little snow in California and the West as a warm winter nears end California's snowpack remains much smaller than average after months of extremely warm conditions across the West.

Very little snow across the West during a winter that has brought record warmth

Sierra Nevada: 66% of avg
Upper Colorado River region: 66%
Oregon: 34%

"Projections show that our winters are going to look a lot more like this in the future."

Mash up of Unknown Pleasures Joy Division sleeve and Neil Sedaka.

Love Will Tear Us Apart and Neil Sedaka’s version of Love Will Keep Us Together were recorded in the same studio. (Strawberry, Stockport.)

This is amazing.

Musique de notre temps (1976) by Éliane Radigue album cover. Photograph of Radigue at the controls of a large analogue synthesiser, with the entire image tinted very light pink.

'Music recorded through the late 60s and 70s was released during the 2000s, and the extraordinary focus Radigue had maintained over the period of half a century became clear, revealing a sound world that few had previously had chance of hearing.'

Legendary composer Laurie Spiegel on the difference between algorithmic music and ‘AI’ Music Mouse is back for its 40th anniversary.

Music Mouse was on the Amiga 500 that I had in the late ‘80s and provided hours and hours of geek.

It (and the Amiga) are back (!!!), and it’s not like there’s anything going on in the world from which I need another distraction...
