For Donald Trump, it’s always personal.
And he leaves this week feeling betrayed.
First, the US supreme court rejected his effort to restrict mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections.
“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court,”
the president wrote on his Truth Socialplatform. “They are merely a shell of their original selves.”
Then the Federal Reserve defied Trump by raising its benchmark interest rate by a quarte…

I love supporting creators when I can and when they're making things that interest me. And if you're a maker, like me, you know it always feels good when people get what you're trying to make, even when others don't quite get it yet. Feeling thankful for those few early adopters who get what I'm trying to do, and happy to pass that along to other makers.

I made the decision a few years ago to not go and see, to not give my money to - films that feature guns. Typical movie poster: two people and at least one of them is holding a gun. FFS. Sick of it.…

Forgive these sleep-deprived rantings - they come from a happy, people-appreciating place! :D
It has become freshly amazing to me, the many ways of framing or encountering music. As a child it almost always provoked narrative experience; travel escapades - personalities arriving, things happening, a world generating itself. This disappeared fairly quickly from around ten onwards, and went to abstraction: sound as sound, music as music. In feeling out metaphors to try and give it langua…

My mental health is falling apart again. This is both really annoying and very boring. I am unlikely to be as active on social media for a while, and, in particular, I won't be responding to private messages from people I don't know.
If I can't keep myself reasonably sane I can't help anyone.
I need to concentrate on regaining my balance and putting in place the things I need for my personal wellbeing.

Australia may have had a much larger Indigenous population before the arrival of Europeans than previously thought, a new study has found.
The research, based on computer modelling, suggests that about
⭐️93 per cent of the pre-European population was removed in under 80 years
following the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788.
And this population, researchers at Flinders Universityestimated, was
⭐️up to seven times larger than previously thought.
“Understan…

Some people are desperately trying to salvage their reputation after cravenly following orders from the #TangerineToddler. #Cassidy is a prime example:

In all honesty, it is almost always difficult for me to post my music. In the end I make myself do it, not just in case someone derives an interesting [something] from it, but because practicing the decision is an investment into a feeling about world where people read such sharing charitably.
Even harder than sharing it is sharing *about* it. “Who wants to know?” But because I got so much from @…

A police department in Texas that arrested a local resident for complaining on social media about their city’s contaminated water supply
💥 has been ordered closed after failing to prove it provided any benefit to the community.
State officials stepped in to investigate after Jennifer Combs spent a night in jail in May
after a post appeared on her Facebook page suggesting people were hospitalized by bacteria in the water pipes of Trinidad,
a municipality in Henderson co…
