I would be such a hat person that it became part of my identity...

PANEL 1: MATTIE is standing in front of a whiteboard that says "WELCOME OUR VISITING ARTIST, MATTIE LUBCHANSKY." In the near foreground are a bunch of silhouettes.
MATTIE: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
STUDENT: YEAH! WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE FOR WHEN YOU GET STUCK WRITING?

PANEL 2: Close in on MATTIE. She looks off to the side.

PANEL 3: MATTIE, in her home, completely nude. Messages are scrawled on the wall, seemingly in blood. A small fire is lit. She's crying.

PANEL 4: Same shot as panel two.
MATTIE: I LIKE TO PUT IT DOWN AND MAYBE TAKE A WALK OR A SHOWER!

Repeat after me: Yes on 40, no on 41 and 42, which are designed to cancel out 40!

Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

Punishment should only ever be in service to a crime committed. This execution will be clipped, memed, streamed, debated— all gruesome spectacle in service to a new cultural hegemony where aestheticized state violence is made to feel normal. We should be asking ourselves why this admin wants that

Album cover made to look 3d with a light gray background. Its all black with slight dark gray pixelated glitches of a photo of closers. There are 2 borders around the edges with "Symbiose 10.2" printed in the lower left corner.

We also have a membership to Kinokuniya and go at least once a month, so this is just when they are out of stock and there was a cliffhanger.

Amazon thinks me and my husband are one person, but it also has a very specific idea of who we are and it is not wrong...

Screenshot from Amazon about me section that reads: "Home & Family: Likely lives in Los Angeles (CA), Product Preferences: Prefers premium manga editions, Departments: Manga and Light Novels, Product Preferences: Building manga collection systematically, Interests & Hobbies: Collects manga extensively"

"La musica fluida e ondeggiante, una ambient malinconica ma non dimessa, è il suo strumento per reinventarsi quanto viene propinato."

First review of 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮 from Blow-Up Magazine in Italy.

📌 PRE-ORDER → yannnovak.bandcamp.com/album/discon...

Scans of an album review from Blow-Up Magazine, with the review overlapping the cover of issue #341. The review reads: RESISTENZA ALLA MANIPOLAZIONE MEDIATICA; Yann Novak; Discontinuity • DL Room40 • 9t-76:21; Dopo "Continuity" dello scorso anno non poteva non esserci questo "Discontinity". Alla malinconica riflessione sull'invadenza dei media e dell'IA, il musicista losangelino risponde con la sua personale forma di resistenza, quella di reclamare il proprio controllo attraverso un deliberato offuscamento. La musica fluida e ondeggiante, una ambient malinconica ma non dimessa, è il suo strumento per reinventarsi quanto viene propinato. Gli vengono in aiuto (pure loro manipolatori di manipolazioni) una serie di musicisti che remixano 3 brani del precedente disco (Lawrence English, Timothy Fairless, mHz, Geneva Skeen, Jonathan Snipes, lan Wellman), insieme decostruttori e riconfi-guratori. I titoli dei pezzi parlano chiaro: Metric of Caution, Context Collapse, Zones of Privacy. In aggiunta alcune versioni live. [7.5] Girolamo Dal Maso

I hate that iOS 27 uses a ☑️ for both ‘done’ and ‘close’. They are not the same thing.

New & Notable: First released in 1993 and now reissued with new vocals, Plastikman's acid house mix of his own track merged the house and techno worlds.
