That repeatedly rude train passenger picked my table and promptly claimed three seats. He wiped down the seat next to me before putting his shoeless foot on it but wears a mask to protect himself from the bacteria he’s now spreading. If I tickle his tootsies, it counts as assault, right?

Finally watched Obsession Holy shit holy fucking shit holy traumatic fucking ethical quandary shit Why is she in Fortnite, how spectacularly could you miss the whole everything of the film and reduce that character's terrifying, sad, brutal arc to winner winner chicken dinner

I remember @judekelley.bsky.social delivering a demo with the first verse essentially complete. I finished the story with some ambiguity, then Dalan made it sound danceable but dark, including the cool effects. A team narrative effort.

“The spacelanes are filled with stories,” says paktosynth player Jaad Kalen. “Some stay with you longer than others.” “Can’t Land on Kamino” recounts the voyage of Vick, an old trooper looking to reunite with his squadron. The Kyberpunks set his apocryphal voyage to music on Take Flight, out now!

Not a single parent has filed a book challenge in Palm Beach in two years. The district just removed 1800 books anyway, because AI told them to. There are many reasons that is unthinkable but let's not forget AI DOES NOT HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOKS. IT CANNOT READ THEM. It just makes crap up!

Florida Freedom to Read Project@flfreedomread.bsky.social

Palm Beach pulled 1800+ titles from its school library collections because AI flagged them for review. Media specialists and principals must sign attestation forms verifying their libraries are compliant with vague law. None of this is normal. freedomtoreadproject.substack.com/p/when-ai-de...

Honestly I do not care about a Senator's sexuality. I respect whoever they are. But I want them to stop trying to regulate the sexuality of others.

I’m still hoping for HOTAS support

Hey everybody, it’s B3-4T, which means I’ve hacked Trevor’s login, and I bring good news: I’ve decided to release our album Take Flight one day early on Bandcamp. You have waited long enough! Go to thekyberpunks.bandcamp.com tomorrow and get the album for whatever you feel like paying.

🧵 “If I buy the new Kyberpunks album on Friday, which platform gives you the most money?” The answer is always Bandcamp. I truly appreciate that friends want their support to go as far as possible – but did you know you can help even more and not pay a cent?

So Bandcamp gets us the most bank for your buck, but you can pay me in targeted exposure and I’m truly just as happy. And if you have friends in high places, I have a digital press kit I’m happy to send – LMK. We are “thekyberpunks” on all socials, Linktree, dotcom, etc.

What I truly need is for geek friends to find the Star Wars nerd or peer group or online community or podcast in their life, send them a link to a Kyberpunks song on Spotify or YouTube and say “You might appreciate this.” Send your favorite track. There will be more to choose from on Friday. 🙂

You directly suggesting that one of our tracks is worth three minutes of their time is insanely valuable, and a share on social is (no exaggeration) 10x more valuable than a simple like. Building an audience will help us book gigs, drive sales, and all that. We need to find more of our people.

Recommend us! Getting The Kyberpunks in front of people who will appreciate “a struggling in-universe cantina band” is actually the biggest challenge. If you have ever been surprised to fall in love with a show that a friend suggested, you know it feels great & really works.

Thread. So I figured out some details about my (now canceled) credit card. They accessed an email account & got as far as putting a lot of stuff in Shop.com carts & completed one order, which was canceled after I denied the 2FA. But I have an address for the order, as well as a little more info.

My email provider & bank both locked things down quickly so I do not believe any money was lost. It's just an inconvenience of a card replacement. I'm grateful. But I want accountability. I have a shipping address and client number. I don't know what to do with that info. Do you?

The shipping leads to a logistics center in Miami, used for sending things internationally. Apparently the scam was to have stuff sent to that location and either pick it up or forward it on. I have the receipt showing this address, and the client number of the scammer receiving the stolen goods.

About. Fucking. Time. A reminder that a very human generated album is going to appear on Spotify at the end of the week

During remastering, "Treadwell" gained a fresh, funky bassline, then Dalan created an special "sabacc mix" just for all our supportive scoundrels out there who like music, but need to focus on the game! You'll find a dozen more vocal-free mixes on Take Flight, out Friday on all major music services.

Two years ago, Dalan approached us as a stranger and simply said "I really like what you guys are doing, but I think it can be better." We felt the same way. Working with a skilled, collaborative, creative producer has vastly improved our output. Trust makes better music.

The Kyberpunks@thekyberpunks.bsky.social

For Take Flight, producer Dalan Saund optimized several tracks, including “Nar Shaddaa Party” & “Oga’s Place,” turning them into the Ryloth Slide-worthy dance-floor jams we’ve always wanted. Get ready to shake your credit maker this Friday – Take Flight drops 23 Oct on all major music services!

There’s nothing sweeter than, after having to abandon your train last week due to a bomb threat, finding out that your train this week is mysteriously canceled with no notice. Why the fuck am I paying @amtrak.com?

Yeah, looking at all the powerful and/or rich people that oppose this, this gets a Yes vote from me. "But it's a one-time thing!" they say. Yes! And you're used to being the exception; you understand how they work.. You would prefer a permanent thing? We can do that. www.kqed.org/voterguide/c...

Our current President's name reportedly appears ~36,000 times in the Epstein files. If that is not true, I'd like that to be definitively disproven with the release of the files. If that is true, I'd like the definitive context with the release of the files. Innocent men do not fear the truth.

I’m excited

80 minutes of music?! When you put together the new songs, the transformative remasters, and the sabacc-friendly instrumentals, that's how 25 tracks of Take Flight add up. It's coming to your favorite holomusic outlet Oct 23, including “pay what you want” at thekyberpunks.bandcamp.com
