@funkentechno I agree with you and hope it leads to a new age of curation. Some new kind of anti-algorithm pro-human exploration of all this new culture. The age of magazine critics and gatekeepers has passed. The loss is wide distribution of their discoveries. The gain is many voices.

I'm cynical about a lot of things in this stupid world, but I'm not remotely cynical about music and art. I feel bad for everyone losing their minds when I say it's a good thing that it's easier than ever to make and release music.

@SteadmanArt It's interesting just to see what people are doing outside of the algorithm. It will take a while to gain true ubiquity. Also, probably not an effective promotional platform yet. But, already a bunch of new people have actually looked at the art I make.

Is it worth venturing over to The Other Place? Twitter is a bin fire right now. Thoughts? Ride it out or abandon ship?

Started building up my Bluesky account. Not ready to move over completely but will start posting more creative things there. Anybody else over there yet?

@molly0xFFF Really? So many writers seem to depend on Substack. Do you have an email service/plugin that distributes your Ghost instance as an email newsletter?

@lucidbeaming disagree on Substack, but you can find me on my self-hosted Ghost site! citationneeded.news

@jessesingal No crying, no outrage. The day after people went to work and did their laundry. No protests or online mobs. All that 2020 energy is totally gone. Real life has returned and we've got bills to pay.

1/ This has been bugging me. All I'm seeing on my timeline is gleeful videos of libs freaking out. It's all that certain 'heterodox' substackers are writing about. I live in one of the bluest parts of the country, with an extremely liberal friend group, and everyone is... fine?

I miss journalism that is fact based, reported and verified. No more analysis. No more advocacy. No more infotainment. No more talking heads in vertical videos. No more dramatic tiktoks. No more likes or reposts. No more comment sections. No more hot takes.

– Immanuel Kant thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/a-short-histor…

“The feeling of the sublime is at once a feeling of displeasure, arising from the inadequacy of imagination in the aesthetic estimation of magnitude to attain to its estimation of reason, and a simultaneous awakened pleasure, arising from this very judgement of the inadequacy."
