breaking my general opposition to posting to say: you should get this kickass tape

fwiw, i don’t think you are. there is a fabric of interesting, publicly governed, truly open-source AI work out there. it’s just (“just”) that it’s eclipsed by enormous theft machines made by the worst people on earth

what is your go-to vegan sushi?? today’s plant eaters are dying to know

The Beach Boys When I feel lonely, they make me feel hopeful. Like that I will be loved again someday, or I’m loved right now, by the ocean, the sky, the sounds. Their later stuff sounds like that to me. Their early stuff sounds just purely physical to me, it sounds like being young, it sounds like fun. That’s good too, but their later stuff, it makes my heart feel like it doesn’t weigh anything and it’s rising. Don’t you have a pain deep inside that needs caressing and can only be reached by a certain constellation of notes? A constellation of notes that is simultaneously surprising and …fated? You can’t predict the next note before it falls, but as soon as it comes, you know it could only be that.

• Alex Chilton, the former lead singer of Big Star, recalled receiving middle-of-the-night phone calls from Wilson asking him to sing on a recording of "Shortenin' Bread'' ("He was telling me I have the perfect voice for it"). [31] • The Monkees' Micky Dolenz said that when he tripped on LSD with Wilson, John Lennon, and Harry Nilsson, Wilson played "Shortenin' Bread" on piano "over and over again". [291 • Biographer Peter Ames Carlin wrote that Elton John and Iggy Pop were bemused by an extended, contumacious Wilson-led singalong of "Shortenin' Bread", leading Pop to flee the room proclaiming, "I gotta get out of here, man. This guy is nuts!"[32] • Musician Alice Cooper recalled that Wilson considered "Shortenin' Bread" to be the greatest song ever written. According to Cooper, when he asked why, Wilson responded "I don't know, it's just the best song ever written." [33]

A photo of writer Molly White giving a talk at XOXO Fest at Revolution Hall in Portland. Behind her is a screenshot of Neopets’ website in the early 2000s, framed in a browser window reminiscent of the Mac OS later that decade.

Inspired and invigorated by @molly.wiki’s XOXO talk on building a better, more independent web, and nostalgically delighted by the circa-2007 browser chrome in the screenshots #xoxofest

Anyway I don't know anyone so if you're also a nice stranger come say hi, I'll be the tall one wearing their hat backwards

i’m at xoxo fest and it’s kind of surreal to think that 15 years ago being around all these famous nerds would have caused me to melt into the ground
