Everyone should read this!! Like ASAP!

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

The King is gonna take Anthropic down!

Felt good to vote today! Nothing really at stake in my state but the sense that maybe this 2-year nightmare might finally be coming to some kind of a stop!

Really interesting book from @uminnpress.bsky.social by @thomas-dekeyser.bsky.social about how if you look at history through different lens narrative that we've ALWAYS embraced technology is, well, kinda bullshit! It's def scholarly and jargon-heavy but accessible enough to make worthwhile read!

Please enjoy my interview with @socool.bsky.social and listen to some of her music while you read! Trust me it's a good call! brjoro.substack.com/p/q-and-a-wi...

Let's put him in prison for murder for what he did to US Aid and then for good measure let's just deport the mother fucker. This guy is a stain on society. Also get off Twitter!!

This is fucking satanic! Your car is NOT your friend, it's a machine to get from Point A to Point B, hopefully with a decent stereo system. That's IT!

A few new electronic music releases to recommend from the Polygon Network, Maloca, Neo Ouija, People Can Listen, @n5md.com and Ultimae labels. So much great stuff!

It's SO beyond time for James Carville and David Axelord to retire, and for media to stop treating them as 'experts' Carville helped Clinton win THIRTY FOUR years ago, and Axelrod helped Obama EIGHTEEN years ago. The world has moved on and changed in irrevocable ways since then. Fuck both of them!

I don't believe anything Meta says but even if there's an IOTA of truth here, this, along with the Musk/Starlink/Ukraine madness, should be all the proof we need that all of these corporations are evil and that billionaires are trying to destroy us all. 1. Get off Meta. 2. Get rid of billionaires!

If you can read this without throwing up in your mouth a little and needing a shower to wash the stink of corruption of you, good luck to you. The always amazing @doctorow.pluralistic.net also has some great reporting on this. Utterly gross and repulsive!

Very honored to have 4T Thieves join me to answer some questions on my Substack. Enjoy this one! brjoro.substack.com/p/q-and-a-wi...

25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! 25th Amendment! He belongs in an assisted living facility. Probably room in one my Dad lives in. I can ask! Nice place!

I'll be honest. There are a LOT of people I would possibly be quite happy to hear had lung cancer. Pope Leo is NOT one of them!

So that's where all the T***p fan accounts went!

Great book. Jill Lepore is a brilliant historian and this is so much more than just an anti-tech/AI book (although it's that too!). Highly recommend!

I wrote this review for excellent UK producer @bitcloudy.bsky.social. You submit your music and members write reviews of your releases. I've had a release of mine reviewed here too. Great website! If you're unsigned totally worth your time. If you're a listener great place to find new music!

Very pleased to share my new Q&A with @app1ecore.bsky.social and I'm grateful that he took the time to answer my questions. Be sure to check his Bandcamp and his recent releases on Mahorka @ivopetrov.bsky.social and Monumental Net Label!

I understand that he doesn't want us using "artificial intelligence" anymore? Why doesn't he like "artificial intelligence" anymore? What if we all keep using "artificial intelligence" instead of the stupid new phrase his demented brain cooked up? I don't like AI but I'll keep saying AI thanks!

Just back from a week vacation in a country that's not run by an insane sociopathic sundowning dementia patient. God it was refreshing! And not to hear about him 24/7 was a nice glimpse of our future once he's gone!

You wouldn't think that the price of a Big Mac would be affected by surveillance pricing and AI. AND you'd be wrong. AI and big tech will ruin everything if we don't stop it. Also McD's is shit food no one should eat there!

And here's another Q&A from me with the fabulous @masefieldlabs.bsky.social hope you all enjoy it. *NO POST NEXT WEEK ON VACA*

Every day, in every way, with everything he does, he makes the United States more and more of a laughing stock, he's such a colossal fuck up and such an absolute moron. There is no bottom for his stupidity.

Horrific. It's GENOCIDE people!!! This isn't complicated!

I'll take "least surprising news I've heard this week for $500 Alex." This administration ruined a crown jewel of the DC area and they've been lying about it's condition since Day 1.

Once again incredibly honored to be included on @trevlad.bsky.social new compilation. I'm in REALLY august company!

I'm a supporter of Will Jawando for county executive here in Montgomery County, but as much as it pains me to admit it, the Republican nominee is correct here. He has to debate her, if we're going to give him a job it's not unreasonable to let people know you're up to it! Come on Will!

I generally think Wes Moore has been a really strong governor and he's cruising to a 2nd term so this measured both-sides approach gets a full-throated "meh" from me. We need bans and moratoriums this is insufficient.

Really pleased to have done this Q&A with @horrordwarf.bsky.social which was just published today. HDRF is a fantastic artist and producer and I hope folks check this out. Also thanks to @trevlad.bsky.social for having us both on his comps and triggering my memory on why I thought he was great!

Pretty pleased with myself that when @thebookerprizes.com drops their shortlist I can note that I've already read one of them and have three already on my queue at the library! This is a great list!

A pathetic cave by the AG's of 12 states. Sadly most of them Dems. Pathetic all of them! The enshittification of the media and film industry marches on...

Another in a consistently brilliant comic from @tomtomorrow.bsky.social this guy has been killing it for DECADES!

Want to read about a few great electronic music albums released during early September? Of course you do! Dive in here and thank me later!

He's been a fascist his entire life!

So, here of the week: Macklemore? Joyce Beatty (D-OH)? There's no wrong answer they've both spoken truth to power this week in a way that too few people in a position to do so do!

Obviously it can't compare to the book but this was amazing!!! Just finished it last night. Very powerful and well done, with obvious care and love for the source material.

Pleased to share my latest Substack Q&A, with Irish producer Dubdelay. Was a pleasure to chat with him and hear about his process!

a) Ed Sheeran is a coward! b) Pink! is clueless! c) We need to get rid of billionaire football stadium owners who think they can suppress free speech in their venues that were built with god knows how much in tax breaks! d) Macklemore is not my cup of tea but kudos to him he's got a lot of guts!

The AI bros with furrowed brows saying "oh we need some regulations" are ONLY doing this because they know that the legislative branch of the US Congress will have new sheriffs on 1/27 and they they're laying groundwork to seem like responsible leaders who don't need THAT much regulation!

If you live in the DMV you should absolutely go see this. Amazing production of this always relevant play! Support independent art and culture!

Marking 1-year anniv of 'Stepping Outside the Algorithm' EP with Substack post where I discuss motivations/track titles. Also, FREE CODES!! Read or just skip to end and grab one! If by some chance they're all gone drop me a note I've got more! If @freealbumcodes.bsky.social wants to share too great!

"They have concentrated enormous amounts of compute, have extensive data collection & surveillance capacities, inserted themselves into the state in numerous capacities, including military kill chains, and are being run by egomaniacal billionaires who are rushing to monopolize an entire new market."

On 9/11 we had the worst president ever. 25 years later, we are saddled with one who makes GWB seem like Lincoln, FDR, and Washington rolled into one. That is such a failure and indictment of us, the American people!

Anyone else very much NOT believe Apple here? Or is it just me?

There are NO ethical AI companies! Repeat that over and over until you internalize the message! They're all evil!

Thrilled to share my Substack Q&A with electronic music producer Eric Sublett, who releases music under his own name, Cast Mosaic, Astral Object & more! Thanks Eric for taking time to answer my questions! And if you're making electronic music and think "hey I've got shit to say" drop me a line!
