Independent journalists are mission-driven, but financially strained, a new report says

The audience at Cables of Resistance (the movement conference against Big Tech) just celebrated this talk by Simone Robutti from the Tech Workers Coalition:
Their basic approach is to reverse-engineer workforce apps (with cooperation from workers) to find out if they send surveillance (or other illegal data) to the companies. If they find evidence, they try to push data protection authorities to have a look at those companies' serve…

It’s the same thing many techbros were saying out loud when they founded gig economy companies to do their laundry, cook their food, handle their errands, and clean their homes: “now that I have $app, I…

Today was my first day of my new gig at vizit.com. Besides fighting a hardware gremlin in my home office for far too long, it was a good first day!

I wouldn't used to post about such activities, because obviously it can come across a certain way - but I stumbled on these old photos of a Grace Jones gig setup - and thought maybe people would find it interesting.
The idea was to do a one-off very different sound, and we stripped down some of her classics. My "station" is in the first photo, her son played percussion, Dave Okumu guitar, and Ivor handled the bass (see Moog lol) and was also triggering other samples.

It's February, Chicago, 1916, second-string kids from New Orleans, like The Stones at the Marquee, get there to fill a spot, it's fricken freezing, promoter gets overcoats from Sally Ann, all oversized. March lands a gig at Schiller's Cafe. Nick says to ramp it up, invents a new dance fitting the bustle. Gig is white band, lower East Side, what's chances that drunk in the back is Irish? Jazz it up boys, he shouts! Wtf? sez Nick, but he liked the sound of it…
By spring, every teen in Chicago was wearing an oversized overcoat. Louis told Papa Joe in '22 he couldn't play that stuff. Papa Joe said get your ass on that stage and blow.

So I’ve got a new gig of sorts. I’ll be a volunteer photographer for the city parks system. The task will be to take pics of folks participating in various programs in the parks and natural areas run by other volunteers, to try and capture that attendees are having fun, especially the kids. The difficulty level is that I’ve never liked photographing people. Go out of my way to keep them out of shots. I’ve done a couple events now, and still just feel intrusive. Hope it gets easier.

35°F/1.5°C, windy. Coldest outdoor gig I've ever played.
They say in Formula One that if you don't go into a corner at at least 60mph the brakes don't warm up enough to actually work, and there won't be enough downforce to keep you on the track as you turn.

Maggie Speaks (@maggiespeaksband) on Threads
Last year we flew to Athens for a Celebrity Sit-In with none other than @debbiegibson ! Charming and gracious, she burned up the stage with a non-stop, high energy performance of all her classic record-breaking hits. Such an honour to be her backing band for a night!

some background on eighthstreetorchestra.com and why you might want to be in on it:
Our first paying gig was in Sept of 2010 for the Chatsworth Fall Fair 😊
Kae Murphy, tp/cl - you may know Kae from BadBadNotGood, Maria Schneider, or numerous other touring bands.
Patrick Smith, ts/pno - Pat is well known in the Canadian jazz scene, his quintet frequently at #TheRex and other spots, often featured in the jazz press.
Nolan Murphy, tb/voc: Nolan you do know, if not from his SHOUT! the Band, then you've seen him in just about every brass festival. His list of collaborations is a who's-who of international musics.
Matt Caldwell, bass: Matt is also the upright bass you see everywhere, and regularly at the Cameron with his Dog House Orchestra.
Patricio Llovet, dr/perc: Patricio is our percussion master, blending our pan-american rhythms smooth as silk or ice-hot, take your pick.
Me, banjo/guitar: who often asks myself, well, how did I get here?
The Studio: #JazzInToronto legend, #KensingtonSound 100% analog!
