so, everyone in vertical bureaucracies is trapped, and no individual can reasonably be held responsible for a decision the corp makes (again, except for the shareholders, arguably)

bottom line: for fucks sake stop cancelling people. cancel capitalism and maybe shareholders instead. it's a terrible system that hurts everyone.

well, i was going to start posting my art on instagram again, but meta decided to deactivate my account without notification. and the namespace is still reserved, so i can't re-register using the same username and email. and there's no humans to talk to about it because Large Corporation.

Apparently they even have a live operator. They maintain a network of free "pay"-phones in Portland.

Has anyone seen this? I'm not sure their mission statement means much these days, but it's very interesting as an art project....

It's House! [tm]

i tried something slightly new here: i sampled a bunch of velocity levels of the same acoustic snare hit, then loaded them into my sampler as slices to play back. it got me a nice swung snare riff. i definitely will be reusing this technique!
