We filed our appeal in Hachette v. Internet Archive yesterday. If we are unsuccessful in our fight, libraries won’t be allowed to own and lend digital books, only license them from big media corporations. Why is that bad for YOU? 🧵in comments blog.archive.org/2023/12/15/i...

i went to see this in theaters thinking “oh this’ll be a silly movie like hertzfeldt’s other stuff, lemme get as high as possible.” i then wept heavily and silently as the credits rolled until ushers started sweeping up popcorn

the gradual replacement of “exchanging money for goods” with “exchanging money for a license to use goods as a service” has been one low key one of the worst changes of the 21st century

this is exactly why i still buy discs in 2023. it's crazy to think that we are reaching a point where piracy will be the only option to own media once dvds and blu-rays are gone.

i will always be amused when people misuse the word prodigal. it doesn’t mean what you think it does. and like yeah language is mutable but you should probably read the story of the prodigal son before you start calling yourself one

begging people to wear masks to rallies/protests and *especially* if you're planning on ~getting spicy~ or ripping down flyers or whatever. yes it's kind of annoying, i guess, but you know what's more annoying? you and your family/friends getting doxxed and harassed by unhinged twitter accounts!!

they play rap songs in between sets at punk shows, so why can’t i play punk songs in between rap sets? on an unrelated note, i’m djing for some rappers at secret pour tonight
