At every concert now there will be a guy in front of you holding his phone up very high taking horizontal video for the duration of an entire song or more

What a treat today! We've got the great @nikostratis.com on the new and final Jackass film, and the gang's delightfully dangerous, hilarious and heartwarming legacy. www.welcometohellworld.com/decades-of-g...

re: Turnstile tickets being way for more expensive in Toronto than most U.S. dates. I would love it if we had a more robust music press that not only reported on it but also asked why.

I can speculate on a number of reasons but it would be super cool if arts journalism wasn't so hollowed out and underfunded that we had people asking this stuff

i believe it’s impossible to be this much of a greedy, seething bigot and still genuinely enjoy, like, saturday mornings with your girl drinking coffee and reading the paper. even zero stakes everyday pleasures will feel a little off because you do everything on behalf of a sickness in your spirit

My publisher warned all their authors about these book club scams, and I have gotten a few of them now that are very similar, but I’m curious about the endgame. How precisely does this lead to the scammers extracting money or useful data from me? I want to ask

Aside from the ChatGPT-like prose and my extreme skepticism that a book club of a thousand Singaporeans would be interested in my book about Canadian music of the 2000s, the biggest red flag is the overly effusive praise. It’s almost convincing but sorry I don’t think the response was electric!

This just came up in my Apple Music autoplay after listening to Soul Glo. This is the band’s only song and they have just five monthly listeners on Spotify. Mythical autoplay pull.

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

AI is the deadly whisper of capital interests that betrays the working class in order to destroy it from within, and it couldn't be more simple than that.

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

due to lack of posting I have previously neglected to share that I've started doing some writing for Premier Guitar, awakening the long-dormant gear nerd inside of me. It started with this big feature on the DIY guitar marketplace:

I’m trying to read this but the bloated horseshit that’s infected every news site is making it impossible. Ads covering the screen, subscription pleas, the page just refreshing for no reason. Unusable. The internet fucking sucks so much now.

skipped the Olympic closing ceremonies partly out of mourning for the Canadian hockey teams and partly out of fear that Måneskin would be involved somehow
