And They Say Chy City

As a society we need to cool it on space travel.

Kicking off #MWE 2024! One album a day that I’ve never heard before, all through February. At least one tweet about each.

Here’s my list. As always, focusing on more archival gaps in my musical knowledge, with at least 50% artists who are non white/male. Happy listening!

One thing I love about Philly is it's a super patriotic city without being Republican or Boston

@BrianZisook @glovepatrol And do it in ways that are more active and excited than posting a song on your Instagram Story.

@BootsRiley I loooooved Sorry To Bother You but I have a one year old, brother. Hard for me to get out to see films in theater.

@RealMattCarey This annoying dude was screaming “BUCKETS” directly in my ear while they were up 20 points. I hope he watched every second.

I kind of hate how that podcast interview with Chaotic Good makes me think all the viral chatter is fake. I discovered this music video from a blog and loved it. What a bummer to feel deflated by other people talking about it instead of excited.

The collaborative music video from Swedish rapper Yung Lean and GENER8ION transcends the boundaries of a regular music video — it’s an extraordinary visual feast. The choreography was created by the legendary French choreographer Damien Jalet.

@Steven_Hyden When I saw them open for Ratboys in Philly I was shouting, “THEY NEED A LIVE ALBUM” the rest of the night. Three weeks later they announced this, excited to listen.

Extraction. Nonstop, disgusting levels of extraction is the final goal of tech-infused capitalism.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Walmart is rolling out digital price tags at all of its stores.

At the same time, the corporate giant just secured a patent for "dynamically and automatically updating item prices.”

Plus another patent for using machine learning to predict demand and recommend prices.

In no time flat, we’ve gone from “AI and robotics will help you upskill and do more meaningful work” to “we’ll pay you pennies to teach robots how to put 70% of the country out of a job.”

[Natalie Lung @natlungfy]

Exclusive: DoorDash launched a new app “Tasks” that pays couriers in some US markets if they submit audio and video clips to help improve AI and robotics models.

Many of these tasks are completing household chores while capturing footage with a body-worn camera — data that would be helpful for humanoid robots.

Instructions: scrub and rinse at least 5 dishes with your hands, hold each clean plate steady in frame for a few seconds before moving to the next one

@Jdcocojr61 @JamesAFurey The hell are you talking about? You’re looking at a chart that shows up until 20 years ago things were doing relatively well. This isn’t a systemic problem with social democracies. It’s a series of intentional changes, ill-informed policies, and misalignment that can be reversed.

[And They Say Chy City @chychychy]

@livebyvalue @ABC7 People are waiting a lot longer to start trying.

[And They Say Chy City @chychychy]

@thealepalombo This was really interesting but it also got so weirdly bland once I realized it was written with AI.

We gotta stop talking about these as “album sales”. Folks are getting all the wrong ideas.

@Acyn Where are all my DOGE enthusiasts?

[And They Say Chy City @chychychy]

@drealbigvirg I understand why folks think this way! Take it with a grain of salt, but based on the way Spotify talks about their ad-supported tier, there’s actually very little demographic difference between paid and ad/supported listeners in terms of income.

[And They Say Chy City @chychychy]

@billybinion @local_cinnamon Basic economy without seat selection is a tier that shouldn’t exist in the first place. It’s maximization of profit over customer experience.

I cannot wait until the White House changes hands and all of you ghouls switch back from "you're a traitor unless you bootlick so hard your tongue goes numb" to "the government asking any questions about my offshore fentanyl casino is vile tyranny and I will throw myself in the San Francisco Bay in protest", like werewolves at the last ray of the setting moon.

Crazy how much of 2026 innovation is “we can help you steal shit efficiently”

[Ben South @bnj]

We made a tool that lets you absorb the vibe of anything you point it at and apply it to your designs

It's absurd and it just works

@SenKatieBritt Which ones specifically are unrealistic and why?
