This is my last post on X. When the President’s right-hand man makes a gesture that neo-Nazis and white supremacists celebrate, doubles down against any criticism, and then cracks juvenile jokes about the situation, it’s time to shake the dust off my feet. opus.ing/posts/so-long-…

@ProfTim “Sing the Song” was one of my favorite songs from 2024.

The Rocky Valentines anyone?

I wrote this in 2022 after Elon acquired Twitter but it’s relevant in light of folks leaving FB b/c of Mark Zuckerberg’s new content moderation rules. You don’t need a social media platform to be heard, to publish your thoughts, or to connect with others. opus.ing/posts/elon-mus…

If you’re an Opus subscriber, then I hope you enjoy this month’s exclusive playlist and podcast, which highlights some of the great music that’s been released by @velvetbluemusic in recent years. opus.ing/posts/new-subs…

I really appreciate it when people let me know that I don’t need to take anything they say seriously.

Always disgusted by AI but doing this to Severance of all things, a show about how people matter and cannot and will not be replaced or erased for corporate profit, is particularly heinous

Hot on the heels of one of their best albums in years, long-time Opus fave Starflyer 59 returns with an album of… checks notes… instrumental lullabies. opus.ing/posts/all-my-f…

The Los Angeles fires have inspired a rash of fake, AI-generated images about the disaster. Last year, @jasonopus wrote about the threat such imagery poses to our ability to “understand, determine, and agree upon what is real.” christandpopculture.com/living-for-tru…

20 years ago, @hoodmusic — one of my all-time favorite bands — released their final studio album: Outside Closer. “Few bands convey the dreariness of the colder seasons, as well as the wistfulness for something better as well as Hood does.” opus.ing/reviews/outsid…

@august1250 @EvanCollins90 The Commodore 64 has never looked more stylish than that third photo.

@EvanCollins90 I'm obsessed with bygone eras of A/V integration, but this is more modern than what I'm usually able to find. I need the name of this book!

found a book from that era of wildly-themed home theatre design during the 2000s housing bubble - this one's probably my favorite, they really committed to the amazon jungle/Mayan temple look

With its dated animation and bizarre, disjointed storyline, this one’s for #Macross diehards and completists, only. My ★★½ review of Shōji Kawamori’s #MacrossZero (2002): opus.ing/diet/449273

Numerous #Macross titles are now streaming on @hulu. American #anime fans can now finally — and legally — watch one of anime’s most iconic franchises. opus.ing/posts/macross-…

I like that a core strategy of the AI industry is trying to convince everyone that they hate being alive and doing anything. That your only desire as a human being is to put out product and make money and get likes on social media. But you shouldn't enjoy any actual activity.
