Incident happened two years ago in March of 2024.

Cassettes are a great way to play ambient and lo-fi hip-hop music.

EDIT:

I could not find it with the lyrics in English so here’s a translation from the interwebz.

========

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
I left it grazing and it disappeared.
I will pay for every information.
The flowers it left
did not want to talk to me.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
I don’t know if it left me
I don’t know if it got lost
and I have nothing more
than a blue unicorn
if anyone knows about it
I beg you for information
I will pay a hundred thousand or one million.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday it left.

My unicorn and I
we became friends,
a little bit with love
a little bith with truth.
with its indigo horn
it fished for a song
His vocation was to know how to share it.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
and it might nearly seem like an obsession
but I have nothing more
than a blue unicorn
and even if I had two of them
I only want that one.
I will pay you for any information.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
it left.

Why? Seriously, why are they stunned? He was a crass, low class, racist thug well before the dementia hit. Why would anyone expect better?

As someone who lived through this before, all I can say is that I am getting really strong cold war déjà vu.

AI

I can call you Meta, and Meta you can call me AI. Call me AI.

There doesn’t have to be a good guy in this story. It is perfectly plausible for this entire mess to be driven solely by villains while the innocents, who have no control over any of it, be its victims.

The Epstein Network

I wasn’t wearing my “Lemmy hat”, I was wearing my music production hat. There are a lot of generative music tools out there that do a fairly decent job when part of a mix of tools. You can use some pitch correction and re-voicing tools to keep the vocalist on pitch and change their voice entirely. Instead, I can almost guarantee that they wrote the lyrics and fed them to Suno along with a genre prompt and saved personality. I doubt they bothered to even use the Suno Studio feature. This genuinely sounds like default generative output. It’s lazy, horribly mixed, noisy, and all around minimum effort.

PS: I also have not doubt that the lyrics are also prompt generated.

The video is clearly AI slop but worse, the track has all of the tells of an AI generated garbage, including the noise, artifacts, qacky compression, etc. Looks like slop. Sounds like slop.

The Monkees were actual musicians that did their own music.

The “Piss President”.

I think the media are taking the piss on Hegseth. Yesterday it was Zoolander, and today it’s Billy Idol. I approve.

I believe that caning is far more effective when the cane is moving at a high rate of speed at the moment of impact.

Putin’s ROI on Trump is crazy.

Did you click on the links in the article? I didn’t just hallucinate Epstein out.of the blue.
