Whitby Goth Weekend, April 2025 street video
Whitby Goth Weekend, abbreviated to WGW or nicknamed Whitby, is a twice-yearly music festival for the goth subculture, in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England, ...The term "Whitby Goth Weekend" is sometimes used as a generic term to describe events during the week in Whitby as a whole...

The Creator has a Master Plan - Pharoah Sanders (vocals by Leon Thomas)
"The Creator makes but one demand
Peace and happiness through all the lands..."
The social and political upheavals of the 1960s have been cited as a major factor in the emergence of a new stylistic trend in jazz, with a very different emphasis to the forms of the music which emerged earlier. Many of the artists involved in the making of this new music, variously called "free jazz", "the new thing", or "energy music", recorded for the Impulse! label. Ashley Kahn writes that several musicians, often those who had either played with or been influenced by John Coltrane, such as his widow Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, and Leon Thomas, began exploring new thematic and musical ideas, often associated with non-western religious and musical traditions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_(Pharoah_Sanders_album)
According to Ben Ratliff of The New York Times, Thomas had begun his career "as a straight blues-jazz singer" with a "stout tenor voice", but by the mid-1960s
Just finished watching it. Not bad, TV-movie-quality but a straightforward script.
Besides Richard "Shaft" Roundtree and Sam "needs no introduction" Raimi, the actual ex-boxer who "Raging Bull" was based on, Jake LaMotta, plays a Detective.
I watched it on Tubi... currently ad-free with uBlock Origin adblocker (on Firefox, at least...)
Sorry to hear that, fam. I hope it got better eventually.
So there must have been one day on which the Tethys Ocean was suddenly no more, right? I looked at the wikipedia page and it wasn't clear.

Piet Mondrian
Mondrian's work had an enormous influence on 20th-century art, influencing not only the course of abstract painting and numerous major styles and art movements (e.g. Color Field painting, Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism), but also fields outside the domain of painting, such as design, architecture and fashion. Design historian Stephen Bayley said: "Mondrian has come to mean Modernism. His name and his work sum up the High Modernist ideal. I don't like the word 'iconic', so let's say that he's become totemic – a totem for everything Modernism set out to be."
The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog
Jim Jarmusch, Dead Man.
Well let's see... first we gotta figure out the analogy:
- carriers = posts promoting a product
- carrier escorts = posts commenting on and upvoting the "carrier" post
- torpedos/dive-bombs = bot-delivered replies that disparage "carrier" posts. They "hit" if they get highly upvoted
- fighters = bots that downvote carrier-fleet posts and upvote torpedo/dive-bomb replies
- carrier "screen" fighters = bots that post attacks on enemy fighters and munitions
- carrier AA fire = bots that downvote attacks by enemy fighter bots
The analogy is still a little clumsy... are "carriers" posts, or are they the bots that make the posts? etc. But a Midway-like battle would involve a modest but strategically-positioned product-promoting community that is about to be surprised-attacked by a rival, who will make several posts disparaging the product. But the attack is identified through corporate espionage. The posts are hard to find, so the "fighters" have to search for them but ultimately they do, and after fierce up- and down-voting, the attacking posts are deeply downvoted.
I read somewhere that there are actually two types of fiber, and they have different effects, but most food is only ever labelled "fiber" so idk.
something something bottled water left in the sun something microplastics.
Because migrants are generally peaceful, non-violent people who just want to work hard and improve their lives.
ur gonna give birth to a meme.
Businesses wouldn't offer free self-defense classes -- liability! They'd just put up a ribbon in tribute of all the fallen babies. Maybe they'd sell ribbons too, so you can honor the babies.
Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.
Median is the better metric, since we're talking about outliers.
fleet of accounts
I like the use of the term "fleet" in this context, bc it brings to mind the Battle of Midway but re-done with bots online.
Nevada Hardware - In the Dark
cyberpunk / industrial, 2025
The new release marks a natural progression and reflects the current state of the world. “This album is an unconscious reaction to the environment in which it was written,” Jones explains. “Watching society disintegrate through a computer screen over the past few years shaped what came out. When writing, I unconsciously metabolized the hyper-mediated atomization and violence of our current dystopia, but I didn’t want the album to ruin your weekend either, so it’s still fun. Things are bleak enough as it is."

Aktion Mutante - Controllare il Sistema
shelostkontrolrecords.bandcamp.com Controllare il Sistema, by Aktion Mutante
from the album Aktion Mutante
"Synth-Punk recalling the '80s minimal-wave melancholic vibes' with new school EBM/ Cyber-Punk noise cuts. The realistic mutation of the human body into a surreal and ascetic mind setting of an apocalyptic contemporary society."
not 100% sure what the second half of that means, but it sounds kinda interesting. heard on https://www.twitch.tv/djalayt

MaryDeath - The Lemmings
Bonus comic:
MaryDeath is a comic about life, death, and everything in between. The story follows a young girl named Mary who happens to have befriended Death. Why Death has chosen to take interest in Mary remains a mystery, but despite his ever dark presence Mary finds comfort in his companionship.
https://www.marydeathcomics.com/archives/comic/
MaryDeath Comics was created in the 2010s by Gwen Tarpley. The artist transitioned recently, but it seems they don’t mind their deadname being on their older comics (i.e. some of the recent posts still use it on their Cats Cafe comic, which is their main effort now.)

Impressionen vom Viktorianischen Picknick beim WGT 2025.
Wave-Gotik-Treffen is “one of the largest events of the gothic, cybergoth, steampunk, and rivethead subcultures worldwide”. It started yesterday and is running through this weekend in Germany.
The Victorian Picnic started as "an opportunity for attendees to dress in elaborate Victorian-era-inspired clothing. Participants would gather to socialize, showcase their outfits, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon reminiscent of the Victorian era." Over the years, people started wearing more goth-, fantasy-, and steampunk-inspired outfits.
