yooo my song "lift you up" is out today on inspected.
all streaming platforms + bandcamp
give it a listen :>
@alinanorakari I have the slightly newer MZ-R37. I really liked it at the time, but no longer living alone meant I haven't used it for some 20 years.
I still have it — if anyone is interested, drop me a line.
musk, transphobia, buying twitter, timeline
Catch me if I'm wrong, but here's the timeline on Musk buying Twitter *plus* the transphobia stuff so far:
- Musk's kid comes out as trans to family it seems? (backporting that info)
- Musk complains: pronoun use is annoying
- Grimes tries to get a public apology
- Musk doesn't apologize, starts posting more stuff in that category
- Grimes starts dating *Chelsea Manning*
- Musk ups the amount of transphobic content
- Babylon bee kicked off Twitter for transphobic article, Musk says later this is what convinced him to buy Twitter
- Musk starts musing out loud on the internet that he should buy twitter for "free speech" reasons
- Musk buys a bunch more stake in Twitter, more or less makes a public offer on this over Twitter itself
- Twitter board initially pushes back on the idea
- Musk starts demeaning the board and high-level Twitter employees very publicly on Twitter while increasing his brag about how he can fix everything
- Twitter board reverses course: you know what, let's take all that money
- Musk formally makes the offer
- Musk talks more about how he's going to fix all the spam, bots, etc *while* also absolutely free speech, everything is allowed filter mechanism unclear
- Starts backpedaling: well, he can't buy it unless certain positions are upheld, starts complaining about fake users
- He already signed it though, poison pill clause means he may be on the hook to pay even if he tries to back out
- A lot more waffling on whether or not Twitter is being forthcoming about information not required ahead of time it seems?
And then in about one day:
- Outing (in a crappy article) about Musk's kid being trans
- Twitter signs deal to sell to Musk
- Musk lays off Tesla employees for vague reasons related to the economy
Did I get that timeline right?
For me it's the Sony MZ-R30 portable MiniDisc recorder. It's just such a well designed sturdy device, I've used it a lot and looking at it and touching it just tickles my aesthetic receptors
Why do they have swiss german names? Because they have been developed in Google's Zurich research branch.

"The #COVID lockdown has demonstrated 3 things:
* Our economy collapses as soon as it stops selling useless stuff to over-indebted people
* It is perfectly possible to reduce pollution
* The lowest paid people in the country are essential to its functioning"
