Denver

fun fact about this song: the three guitars & the vocal are all live (not 100% sure on the vocal but pretty sure). Me, Matt, and Wurster on three acoustics. percussion & harp are overdubs

you know when the guitar falls out of Hardcore UFOs and for a brief 4 or so seconds you can hear, physically with your ears, the sound of absence?

Rocks in My Pockets feels the same except the absence is the limited rhythm section. really special song imo but I don't have the words for it right now

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Israel Breaks International Law So That It Can Continue To Starve Gaza | Defector The Israeli navy intercepted 41 vessels carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza and detained over 450 people on Thursday. The first boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla set sail across the Mediterranean…

I didn't mention it in the review, but you really have to wonder if Mark Gifford is the ambient dub Mr. Hyde to Dimitriam's Doctor Jekyll. If you were into the back half of Dimitriam's side of the Erosion split, you won't find anything like it here. Hoping that'll return on Foil Stars

Instant Coffee by Dimitriam! Reviewed on Sawyr's Tape Zone

The "new" Dimitriam is out October 10th I think? It's good! I think Dimitriam is one of the most exciting lo-fi acts of the decade, and imo they stick the studio landing

US to revoke Colombia President Petro's visa | The Jerusalem Post In his speech to the global gathering on Tuesday, Petro also hit out at Trump, saying the US leader was "complicit in genocide" in Gaza.

The U.S. is revoking the President of Colombia's visa for saying Trump is complicit in the Gaza genocide and calling on American soldiers to resist Trump's orders to harm innocents.

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

revoking credentials for asking a question is definitely a sign you feel good about the controversial move you’re about to make

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.

Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

Sometimes you read an article that makes you feel like... idk... 15 years ago, some of us got on an express train and saw what was on the tracks ahead. And now we're on a call to the people on the slower train, now approaching, and they cannot comprehend the landscapes we describe as familiar.

people often say "not the onion" because they don't understand how the onion's humor works but credit to mother jones for clearly giving this an onion-style headline on purpose

I don't think someone spending their Wednesday arguing with a SW about Soviet foreign policy in 1939 is a gooner, but you gotta test the water in emerging markets sometime

Florida Sues Hentai Site and High-Risk Payment Processor for Not Verifying Ages Florida's attorney general claims Nutaku, Spicevids, and Segpay are in violation of the state's age verification law.

really interesting and probably pretty bad that they're going after high-risk payment processors directly now www.404media.co/florida-laws...

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Every other prescription label change in history required much more proof of effectiveness to get approved. This is a dangerous precedent to have political appointees dictating label changes in this way.

They did. I wrote a whole zine about this. queer.archive.work/library/down... - this is why I ignore a lot of people who talk about the Black freedom movement of the 50s and 60s. They don't know anything.

EXCLUSIVE: US Bill to Block Arms Sales to Israel Endorsed by Progressive Caucus The endorsement of the Block the Bombs Act by one of the largest caucuses in Congress gives a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel.

First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

lots of electeds and political candidates here this morning. i see congressional candidates kat abughazaleh and (evanston mayor) daniel biss, lieutenant governor juliana stratton, and chicago alder andre vasquez:

two agents wearing camouflage and body armor rough up protesters. one has some kind of canisters in his vest. a patch on the vest reads “police bortac”

federal agents are getting increasingly violent as the morning goes on and the crowd of protesters outside the broadview ice facility grows.

i’ve seen multiple people pushed and thrown to the ground.

dhs is now playing a dispersal order warning of arrests and the use of chemical munitions.
