@arne__ness @RedGreenBC People have this weird idea that every peasant in the Middle Ages was just barely scraping out a living, instead of a range with the upper portion enjoying fairly decent lives

Kurt Wagner (not Nightcrawler) should be spoken about with the same reverence given to Berman and Bill Callahan etc. The new Lambchop record may be the most beautiful album he’s ever made.

@EmmettStinson He’s so incredibly good and isn’t talked about enough

[Menocchio @Bodyisturd]

The solution is easy, make it a SUNY school and done

[Marc Porter Magee 🎓 @marcportermagee]

Syracuse is in trouble. They borrowed a half billion dollars to build new dorms and now enrollment is sliding.

“The problem with Syracuse is that the school thinks of itself as like an Ivy, but it’s not,” Tavares said.

Guy somehow has a bullshit opinion on everything under the sun

Winter is good and you haven’t heard that from faculty because that’s nonsense

[Mohammad @MargBarAmerica]

Syracuse is a sad case. Trump made it harder to get international students who pay the most for tuition, it’s in a car dependent city, it’s frozen and miserable for 4-5 months of the year, etc. I’ve actually heard from some faculty that one way they sell the school to graduate students is by touring nearby Wegmans lol. So many universities are going to close soon.

I don’t think it’s nice to say someone is “ugly as sin.” Sin is often very attractive

[Menocchio @Bodyisturd]

lol. Those huge tech companies that structure your lives? That politicians bend over backward to accommodate? Who control absurd sums of capital? Not mainstream and totally punk

[Jenny Krakovsky @jennykrakovsky]

The ethos of punk is DIY - can’t sing? Yell. Only know two chords? That’s the whole song. Can’t dance? Pogo. Punk and grunge that came from it were about independent art that didn’t care if the mainstream approved. In fact they were embarrassed once they became mainstream. AI artists will no doubt produce the same cultural chaos because we are an uncontrollable decentralised unknown quantity who don’t give a fuck. We were forged in sneering and ridicule just like the punks.

Imbecilic levels of being literal here

[clara the urbanist @SlopHq]

A data center is almost comically tame as industry goes. No smokestacks. No ore piles. No molten steel. No freight trains of coal. Mostly a very large box containing computers, electrical equipment, cooling systems, and an expensive humming noise. And even this is apparently too industrial for us.

@writingenjoyer Who says there is no future for poetry?

[Menocchio @Bodyisturd]

@grahamcclark1 Subjected with some resentment, which gets sublimated and she is happy to subject in turn

[Menocchio @Bodyisturd]

@grahamcclark1 What’s also is maybe interesting to note that in our little provincial town, the non professional cast of feminists, gay, and trans people would are spending the time to do (because who else is?) is also choosing that play to put on

[Menocchio @Bodyisturd]

@grahamcclark1 Just saw a quite nice little production of it at Syracuse’s Shakepeare in the park, and I can’t lie I was wincing through the ending. It had been awhile since I had read it and woof, just brutal

[Menocchio @Bodyisturd]

I love this stuff. There is widespread discontent with big tech, how it’s shaped the economy, its rule over our lives, and all centrists can do is whine that people are taking the only meaningful opposition available to them currently

[AG @AGHamilton29]

The anti-data center stuff is insane and clear evidence that we have entered a post-truth era where many people can be convinced, often by malicious actors, to abandon reality and allow conspiracies/falsehoods to drive policy preferences.
