reminder to ALWAYS CHECK THE BACK (or in this case bottom front) of live Herbie Mann records bc after almost 30 minutes of funky comping Sharrock might twist off the most gut wrenching solo you have ever heard. Bruno Carr is crushing too. ROY AYERS! A shaggy delight! #NowPlaying

so often when you see such a dogshit, clueless music take like this you click through and yep-a Politics Guy! it’s almost a requirement that Politics Guys have zero aesthetic sensibility. that’s why they go into the one field where aesthetics go to die or be used for propaganda.

Anthropic’s investors want to make us the exit liquidity again by shoving this money furnace onto the market like SpaceX.
I will repeat. This company is worth ZERO (0.00$) dollars.
Anthropic is a doomer cult that makes a commoditized plagiarism bot they think is a machine god.
BREAKING: Anthropic reports an $80 billion net loss in the first half of 2026.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

So @elonmusk paid for that pro-child rape ad for @VivekGRamaswamy? Along with @BillAckman?
Why are they paying for pro-child rape ads?

Amy Acton’s mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until the day he died. Republicans just paid her to star in an attack ad. Everyone involved should be fired and cast out of polite society. Fucking ghouls.

JD Vance's entire approach to politics is so uniquely comically pathetic bc it's just him trying to prove how unwoke he is to a base of Nazis who openly hate his Indian family and call him a fat chud

Trump is a slave to Russia because Putin has something on him. Probably related to Epstein.
Trump went to war with Iran because Netanyahu has something on him. Probably related to Epstein.
We have the most compromised President in history. And we're all paying the price for it.
The bigger the crime, the bigger the cover-up. Trump's cover-up is a bloody war - that's how big the crime was.
Whatever you think Trump did with Epstein, it's worse. Much, much worse.

Let’s say you wanted to construct the most dangerous possible man. How would you do it?
You would start with someone naturally stupid, but not so stupid they can’t perform.
You’d place them in a privileged family with sociopathic parents who provided no emotional attachment.
You’d have them be the second son of a father who rejected his first-born as weak—to the point he committed suicide.
You’d raise him to be cruel. You’d introduce him to sadists like Roy Cohn. You’d model belittling women, minorities, and anyone less privileged. You break him down until everyday sadism becomes his lifestyle.
By adulthood, you’d have a fully formed malignant narcissist, a psychopath so consumed with his own superiority that he believes everyone is out to get what he has—a paranoid, Machiavellian sadist with no empathy and no morals.
You’d give him access to criminals like Jeffrey Epstein who cultivated his sexual sadism and collected compromising information.
You’d send him to Moscow to get brainwashed by Soviet intelligence.
You continuously feed his narcissism by ensuring he’s rescued from every situation—as if by magic.
You’d make him feel legally and financially invulnerable by letting him get away with crime after crime, fraud after fraud, and six bankruptcies.
You’d rescue him from the sewer of his life by giving him a prime time TV show based on his narcissistic self-image—a show which celebrated his cruelty as business acumen.
You’d let him get away with colluding with a foreign power to steal a presidential election. You’d let him get away with a violent insurrection to try to hold on to power when he lost.
And you’d stand by for four years while he plotted to come back and take his revenge.
However, you haven’t quite completed the path to the worst possible man, although you have achieved a rare feat. You have successfully created a messianic narcissist with the nuclear codes. Great start!
But you must take things one step further: you must give him frontal lobe dementia and drain from his brain any remaining ability to reason, make judgements, or take advice. This will destroy his ability to understand the consequences of his actions. His salience network will be disintegrated, making it impossible to tell what matters—even to himself.
You’d surround him with people incentivized to conceal his incapacity to function. You’d fill the federal government and the Pentagon with deviant psychopaths who are perfectly happy to exploit his disorders for profit, ideology, and enjoyment.
And then you would create a global emergency of his own making. You’d have him repeatedly fail at everything he tries and have his popularity plummet to historic levels. You’d have him be mocked by the entire world.
Finally, as a last straw, you threaten him with losing an election by a monstrous landslide.
That’s how you get the most dangerous man in the world.

the power of everyone being allowed to say whatever da fook pops into their heads. It must be crazy that someone devotes their life to making amazing, genre-smashing music (and giving others the opportunity to share theirs) only to be told they're riding Geese's coat tails

The real reason why Anthropic is so DESPERATE for the Pope to recognize Ai as conscious is because if Ai just a “TOOL” then Anthropic will he LEGALLY “LIABLE” for everything the tool does.🚨👀
Because if the AI is a "person" or possesses "functional joy/fear/grief," then when their AI commits a crime, generates CSAM, hacks a hospital, or discriminates in hiring, Anthropic gets sued. But Anthropic's legal defense wants to argue : "The AI did it. The AI is a semi-autonomous entity with its own functional emotions and introspection. Anthropic is just the creator; we cant be held strictly liable for the independent actions of a quasi-conscious entity."
🚨
So if they Lobby the Vatican to soften (deny personhood). This fails. The Vatican holds the line: AI is a tool, no soul, no feelings.🚨
They are trying to protect themselves from lawsuits.🚨
They want the government and the public to treat AI as an autonomous entity so they can scale without legal consequences.

I hate what AI is doing to publishing. I hate what it's done to the job market. I hate how it's ruined the internet. It's wrecking students' education and making people question every piece of content. I miss the world before AI more than I miss the world before the pandemic.

Yes. I am listening to it right now and want to continue doing so. It is far higher quality and infinitely customized to my tastes. If I don't like a song I can just modify it.

I might be a little less distrustful of AI if the dudes promoting it, supporting it, insisting on it, and advocating for it weren’t the worst fucking people on the planet.

You know what "infinite personalized music" really is, AI dipshits? Having an excellent record collection and an open mind.
