- “Today’s class — CMS.303/803/21M.365 (DJ History, Technique, and Technology) — takes students to the 1970s, which means disco, funk, rhythm and blues, and the breaks that form the foundation of early hip-hop are in the mix.” news.mit.edu/2025/mixing-... #musicsky #dj
- “I grew to love him as a person, and for me, he was the biggest influence on my songwriting ever; he was a musical genius and revolutionary. He changed the goalposts when it came to writing songs and shaped music forever. A true giant.” — Elton John apnews.com/article/bria... #musicsky #music

- Thank you — I started using alt text a few years ago on Twitter and it’s just an easy habit now. Hope more people do it too. Always a good time to start 👍🏽

- Today I created a new account on #Substack. I was instantly shown a stream of posts like these (the first post was from a gothic letter 'national socialist' account). It then suggested I follow Edward Snowden, Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy. That platform is COOKED far beyond what I had imagined
- Truly flabbergasted. Because it doesn't even make sense moneywise. Substack's investors are expecting them to monetize very soon, and content like this is what made Twitter lose so much of its ad revenue so quickly.
- This is so weird. After I got the confirmation email my feed refreshed is now 'normal'. But it's still showing nothing but US politics stuff - like posts from Jim Acosta etc etc. That's annoying and not relevant to the topics I selected when I set up the account. But at least it's not on 'evil mode'
- My theory is that #Substack may be testing people's reactions to extreme far-right content. There is no reason anyone would randomly get an entire home feed of far, far right, explicitly n*zi content as a brand new user. Whether they are also testing other treatments I don't know. But wtf
- Real questions
- I’m just as tired as y’all are. But I’m still here. Wishing you well, take care and stay up.
