Reba With

If I'm favoriting an old Phish post of yours, it just might be because I'm listening to a show in the Skee(t)zer: skeetzer.randomwalks.com

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

For those who could not make it, here is a video of Jean-Christophe Cloutier's lively presentation about his new book BIG AMERICAN WRITER: THE BILINGUAL JACK KEROUAC and his conversation w/ Brent Hayes Edwards. tinyurl.com/yzb5cwvb @columbiaup.bsky.social

lol Duos crackin'

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

We're only three weeks out from November 11, which means we're only three weeks out from my third annual rewatch of STATION ELEVEN. It's become one of my favorite yearly traditions, and I can't wait to cry and feel joy and cry and feel hope and cry.

(Public WiFi is not nearly as dangerous as people say it is, precisely because we have moved the vast majority of the web to TLS-encrypted connections, but this scenario is precisely the scenario which invalidates that protection and thus the exception to that rule.)

This is not a tomorrow thing, this is a "if you're reading this take down your PHP based website" thing.

Maybe we just turn the computers off this week.

This is why I think relying on the 'bubble' to burst is a fantasy. So-called "AI" is a globalised mass surveillance system wanted by authoritarian (read: all) governments worldwide. Like fossil fuels, it will be propped up at taxpayer expense for the benefit of the ruling elite.

I hope we get more of "Nancy draws Nancy" this was amazing

tfw you click on "7 Best Tweezers of 2023, Tested & Reviewed - Good Housekeeping" thinking Good Housekeeping finally got hip to Phish

Update: checked with TTH support they said it was fine to leave ER without checking out. Weird thing is I found the rabbit grave but it was empty?!? I called support & they were confused & said the rabbits are immortal? I look PRETTY stupid right now, I shoulda known Tesla would think of everything

CBS News made this kid look like a vandal when they damn well knew that Trump vandalism claim was full of shit. deadline.com/2026/10/cbs-... 1/3

Gonna cash in every chip I have left with editors to secure a sit down interview with Patel and Deadwyler, then refuse to ask them a single question about THE X-FILES and only talk to them about how good STATION ELEVEN is.

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

PROTEST SONGS #232: 1966 Sunset Strip curfew The last song about the Sunset Strip riot is the most tangential, Joni Mitchell's "California", from 1971's Blue. She sings about ending her European travels and coming back to a US embroiled in the Vietnam war and other unrest.

Why did Joni Mitchell kiss a sunset pig

When the real society of the spectacle turns and shouts back at Guy Debord, all Jack Nicholson style, 'You want spectacle, I'll show you spectacle!' Public crucifixions: just another day in the US that the apocalypytic evangelicals built. There will be, there must be, blood.

Reba whistling over Tweezer is kinda cool

They are pushing and pushing for their chatbot toys to have human rights and it's not because they are afraid their chatbot toys are being hurt. It's because they want to buy, sell and control things that are legally people, and to defend their mechanical capital using laws meant to defend people.

What does it mean to be abusive and cruel to a piece of software? This is ridiculous.

"Well, I wasn't planning to watch the Phish livestream tonight, but I think I'll just pop in and see how the beginning of set two is going" *face instantly melts*

It's the Page and Mike show. Who doesn't want to see that?

Mini-kit encore, we're not worthy

Yup. The entire 16 months I’ve been on the ICE flight/TCR beat, I’ve encouraged other journos to join me, bc there are more stories here than I could possibly tell on my own. Many indy journos have. But for MSM reporters, too often they seem content to just repeat what’s already been reported.

I want to go to Richmond.

I couldn’t resist.

I keep thinking tonight will be the first time I’ve seen Phish two nights in a row, but I was at the Clifford Ball so that’s not quite true

In 2026, you dont even have to really ask if the show was good.... you have to ask HOW good it was. That show was pretty much perfect. I dont know what more anyone can ask of Phish, any era. This is some of the best live music ever played.

Spending time with Phish and Bluesky tonight? I invite you to step into the Skee(t)zer skeetzer.randomwalks.com

10th show tonight even tho I’ve been a Phish fan since 1993! And then 11th show tomorrow!

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

This whole John Brown thing is genuinely weird, because a few years back on the bird site I had a policy to always follow John Brown profile pics, and with maybe one exception in two to three dozen they were excellent posters.

literally would not have been able to write my master's thesis on John Brown without them. They had digitized copies of primary source texts I literally would not have been able to access otherwise. They deserve the world
