Such a privilege to put together a magazine which can feature Minutemen, Climate Of Hunter, Tangerine Dream, Richard Thompson, Curtis Mayfield, Myriam Gendron, The Crucial Three and all that other stuff, then compile a CD of raw UK R&B to stick on the cover. Music mags forever.

I actually WASN'T gonna watch 'Reacher' cause I was tired of the 'reruns' that've been White male christian actors revealing themselves to be rabid bigots

But, I'm about to BINGE on your show like a MF!!

What is this? 💩?

Deep learning based AI is slowing down faster than people are aware of - after having almost exhausted the source of high quality training data & contaminating it with AI junk - the last thing you expect is a superintelligent machine emerging from all that.

New gun laws: Maryland stripped civil immunity from the firearms industry, banned Glock switches and set up a center to study gun violence as a public health crisis. ⁦The Baltimore Banner⁩ thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power…

“You have publishers—most of them are for profit—that demand and require constant growth because that's what the stock market requires. You have researchers...who champion quality and maybe depth and time to review. Those are in opposition.” via nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

You'd think fascist Russia (and it's almost certainly them) jamming GPS signals over swathes of northern and eastern Europe, interfering with the navigation of civilian airliners, would be bigger news than it is...

Never thought I would see 'Meet the Press' publicly disssent from a decision made by NBC News, but it happened today. Chuck Todd to Kristen Welker: 'Our bosses owe you an apology.' Then two other panelists explained on air why hiring Ronna McDaniel is such a credibility disaster.

SAME. Mayo Clinic, naming and shaming. I kindly negotiated within their posted range and they took the offer away.

Kevin Hines expressed concern about the treatment of a Black student at a high school. He was arrested in front of his children, other students and teachers. Two weeks later, all charges were dismissed. The city settled with him for $170,000. newsobserver.com/news/local/art…

EXCLUSIVE AND ESSENTIAL local journalism from my colleague Virginia Bridges: Raleigh has spent $4.3 million since 2012 to settle 17 lawsuits and threats of lawsuits, with dozens of people alleging police misconduct. newsobserver.com/news/local/art…
