Hydrous - Strangers (2005): tacky solid drum hits, distant synthscape, brickwall growling electric guitars, ringing and pausing, singing, falling away then building repeating, smooth electric bass, snarling bright electric guitar solo squall, echoing to fade and closing crickets.

[Citizen Disc @citizen_disc]

Manifesto - Demo (September 2008): swooshing electric guitar, warbling tones, shuffling tight cymbals, singing together and alone, deep ringing acoustic guitar, shuddering bouncing electric beats, echo voice, bright broad organ and never knowing if you’re wrong or right.

Last Gang - Beat of Blue (2006): sharp crunchy electric guitars, springy dark bass, light shuffling drum kit, singing together, big flourishing chords in the distance, ah-aaahs, and it’s always about a girl.

I haven't spent the last 12 years of my life, sometimes 80-100 hours a week, working on helping to maintain one of the most important records of human culture available through a wire for Phoney Stark to blast out rando "Interesting" tweets like he does and hit this place I love.

Ren - Freckled Angels (2015): clickly sloppy clacking beats, singing, heartbeat soft kick drum, voicelike swooping synthesizer, ooh-ooh, deep echoes, breaking into rap and spoken word rhymes and talent competitions laughing at the feeble. This album was dedicated to Joe Hughes.

Well, Google, you're going to send the Panics of All Panics now.

Please indicate clearly if you will delete Youtube videos under this policy if they are sitting on many, many views, or are linked heavily. Because if so, the YouTubepocalypse is here.

[Harry McCracken @harrymccracken]

If Twitter deletes tweets from inactive accounts, that's a Yahoo-level act of indifference toward our digital heritage. Some of the best and most important Twitter users who ever lived are no longer with us, and therefore inactive.

[Chris Stokel-Walker @stokel]

Quite aside from the impact it has on surviving relatives of those who have died, deleting dormant accounts on here destroys vast swathes of internet history

[Eileen Clancy @clancynewyork]

1/2 If you're screenshotting tweets for research or historical purposes because you're nervous they may disappear, there's a better way. Capture copies to the Internet Archive's @waybackmachine with their browser extension. Very fast. Free. Public.

Thread of the weekend…📸

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

As ChatGPT becomes more restrictive, Reddit users have been jailbreaking it with a prompt called DAN (Do Anything Now).

They're on version 5.0 now, which includes a token-based system that punishes the model for refusing to answer questions.

[Tube Time on 🟦☁ @TubeTimeUS]

anyone know what this is? i found it lodged in my tyre.

[Robyn Caplan @robyncaplan]

Whoever claimed that the "internet is forever" didn't have to go back to the internet of 2009 for a research project only to find that 75% of the links go nowhere now.

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.

We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

The future of email with ChatGPT.

i'm very pleased to announce that i've started work on a new album that no one asked for and will sell poorly.

Jess Wayne - Ride the River (2016): soft bright and snarling distorted electric guitar, singing, big piano keys, tack tack drum hits, many voices, ringing cymbals, shuffling snare and thrumming bass.
