There is an open letter on BlueSky moderation practices as they apply to Gazans which I was invited to sign.
I have been feeling pretty helpless so I read the letter. It was very balanced and reasonable. The asks are not- as I saw them being misrepresented as immediately- to allow anyone who says they are in Gaza to post anything.
Best feeling ever: traded in a tube condenser I haven't used in a decade and an old audio interface, and some other random crap for these.
Then freaked out when I noticed that they have a 300Ω impedance. BUT: turns out MBP will detect and switch at the headphone jack to drive them correctly 😲

Turns out life doesn’t just imitate art
— sometimes it borrows the script, reboots it with National Guard checkpoints and streams it live from Los Angeles.
Case in point:
A Day Without a Mexican,
the cheeky 2004 sci-fi satire from Mexican filmmakers Sergio Arau and Yareli Arizmendi,
