My @pastemagazine.bsky.social review of the new Tune-Yards album, BETTER DREAMING, reflects the point along my scaling admiration for the record where I really started to dig what they're doing here; I think I like it even more now than when I wrote the review! So groovy. So fuckin' angry.

There is, in my town's local Facebook group, a business bro, or its boomer equivalent; he's honestly too much of a dork on his face for "bro" to fit. I digress. He's on a soapbox of late bloviating about our schools falling behind if town government doesn't embrace AI now. But: this article.

Great to be back at @iffboston.bsky.social for the first time in I genuinely don't recall how long; maybe I'll see you there next year if you didn't put in an appearance this year. You should! It's a highlight of Boston's moviegoing year, every year.

Looks like I need to remind everyone to watch ETERNAL YOU from earlier this year, because yeah, that “AI video” ain’t the victim at all!

it's been less than a week since I decided to give this a try, and already, a picture of a burning Israel flag captioned by "how beautiful are God's works" in Arabic has wound up on my timeline; might delete again and come back in a year

if Queensland is Australia's Florida, and if Brisbane is one of the state's liberal enclaves, then the only correct choice here is to assemble a cast of voice actors from Miami, Tampa, and / or Fort Lauderdale
