From the early albums of Mikal Cronin to their recent releases like The Tubs and En Attendant Ana, there was almost never a point I wasnβt excited about something they were releasing. A true loss for the indie world

27.08.2025 18:23 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Really cool to see these pockets of dance music history being collected and preserved. This early House music zine that Primary Information reissued this year also looks amazing (same with Assembling a Black Counter Culture which I still need to read) primaryinformation.org/product/thing/

19.08.2025 17:33 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0To be clear, what NOLA Councilmembers are proposing isnβt just facial recognition βthey already have that.
They want to run facial rec *on everybody at all times* without warrant or suspicion of a crime.
This is without precedent in the US & and an almost unfathomable assault on the 4th Amendment.
I considered the Department of Homeland Securityβs new white nationalist recruitment memes, in the context of the well-documented history of DHS downplaying and disregarding white nationalism and βdomestic extremism.β As upsetting as these posts are, it also tracks.
