Screenshot of text (from a Discord post 7/18/24): “So: the day me and Mrs. Tauri (and Ahja and Tahji) left NYC, this happened to be playing on the radio as we started up the car after the movers left with all our stuff. Probably on WFMU, I'd guess. The ensemble is Bill Dixon on trumpet, a drummer, and two double bassists. And I remember there was this moment where the bass plays so low and sustained that you could, like, hear every cycle of the string's vibration. And I knew at that moment that I had to know what it was. So we're driving, and I then remember waiting for the DJ to announce the songs (which of course can take a while on college radio, if it happens at all), hoping we don't drive out of range first. Finally got the words I heard as "Berlin Abotsi" which I had to keep in mind until I had a chance to write them down. Google in those days not being as totalizing a repository of stuff as it is today, it took me a couple of years to properly find this (it was my first ever Bandcamp purchase). Still calls to mind all the hubbub and mixed emotions of that day.”

Screenshot of 2 Bluesky posts. First is a 2/12/26 skeet from Amy Klobuchar reading: “Minnesotans stood together, stared down ICE, and never blinked.” The second, in reply (also 2/12/26), is a meme composed of two Sailor Moon images. In the first Tuxedo Mask says, “My work here is done.” In the second, Sailor Moon replies, “But you didn’t do anything.”
Screenshot of a Bluesky post by @spavel.bsky.social from Apr 15, 2025. Text reads: “The real pitch, of course, isn't to consume the slop, but to join the exalted ranks of slop producers. The typical slop middleman makes an "Al company" - they run the gamut from Grammarly to Synthetic Users - and resells the processed slop with the same pitch: you too can now make slop.”

Screenshot from the Minnesota Public Radio website. Paragraph about ICE killing reads: “ICE officials say the woman was shot and killed Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis after attempting to run over agents with her car. Mayor Jacob Frey called the ICE version of what happened "garbage." Gov. Tim Walz is expected to speak at 2:15 p.m.” Below this, a link to a secondary article—highlighted by me—to presumably add “context” with the headline: “Greg Bovino's the star of Trump's deportation show. We trace his roots.”
Screenshot of a post to the Facebook Group World of Echoes, Sep 23, 2020. Text reads: “Song melodies I sing my cats’ names with… A thread.”
