Go behind the scenes of Made by Sound.
A story of music, collaboration and craft with @fredagainagain1 and NEST Acoustics. Discover how sound brought the Apple Music logo to life, captured entirely in camera. Just music, made visible.

There is literally no version of the story that justifies BEHEADING them. They could've had an orgy on a holy site & they STILL should NOT have been murdered.
If you find that statement to be Islamophobic, it says more abt what YOU think is inherent to Islam than anything else.

Encouraging seniors to "age in place" has been among the most disastrous economic policies of the last 50yrs. It's a big factor in the housing crisis.
Cities should urgently build more 55+ communities. Boomers should get tax breaks for DOWNSIZING, not for staying in their homes!

The nimbys won, decisively. The millennials were a huge generation and they blocked housing for most of the fertility years.
Forget the economy for a second, a lot of nimbys already are asking 'why no grandchildren'. Well your grandchildren went to propping up property values.

This is west LA, the place I was born.
That haze you see isn’t fog. It’s the exhaust from the millions of vehicles Angelenos depend on to get around.
For all of the decades i’ve spent here, it has been a constant. We live it, we breathe it, we add to it every time we leave our house.
During the pandemic, when traffic stopped briefly, we saw what the world could look like. Clean air, clean views, clear skies. It’s my hope that we can one day get back there again and heal Los Angeles.
Ubiquitous autonomous electric vehicles are our best shot at doing that. And yet the oil industry, and the unions, the auto dealers, and the politicians have managed to convince most people that EVs are bad and evil and the oil and gas companies are good.
I want to see the Tesla and EV communities come together to finish the job. With autonomous electric vehicles a much brighter future is in reach. It’s a chance for my future children to not grow up in a haze of exhaust like I did. A real shot, after a long period of impossibility.
There are many people fighting to stop or slow down this future, but if we work together we will outnumber them.

Absolute cinema.

The global movement to end factory farming (one of the greatest moral atrocities in history) has about $260 million per year to spend.
That’s less than the budget of the New York Metropolitan Opera.

Vegan activists and meat influencers alike often focus on whether it’s ethical to eat any meat ever.
They get caught up in endless philosophical debates about whether meat can ever be “humane,” whether eating it is natural and necessary, and so on.
This is a giant distraction. Almost everyone agrees that factory-farmed meat is not humane, natural, or necessary. And almost all meat is from factory farms.
They should be our focus.

This shit pisses me off unfathomably. Between the fuckhead beating on the fence on the right, and the ignorant fucking radio-voiced creep calling it "dangerous".
This is the same mentality happening now in America with wolves, and it's just allowed to happen. Fuck this shit.

These are the people who have controlled land-use policy in California for the last 50+ years. This is why we have a housing crisis. This is everything wrong with blue city/state governance distilled down to its essence.

The American President just signed an Executive Order enabling ranchers to shoot and poison the very last wolves in America.
Wolves in America number around 0.5% of their original population, and they are of course vital to the health of landscapes.

A true visionary who showed us the power of boundless imagination. Yayoi Kusama’s creativity pushed the art world forward and left behind a brighter, more vibrant world for us all.

This is not the exception. Most farmed fish are killed by suffocation while fully conscious.
Depending on the species, it takes between 10 minutes and five hours for the fish to lose consciousness.
Every day we kill over 250 million fish this way — including millions sold in the US and Europe.
The closest human experience is suffocation, which is rated in palliative care literature as one of the most distressing experiences a human can endure.
One day we'll wonder in horror at how we tolerated this for so long.
Just when you think we've run out of ways to be cruel to the animals we eat, someone invents this. 😡
Can you imagine the claustrophobia, confusion, & terror this poor #fish will endure? 😢

In my estimate about 99% of posts that praise SF don’t actually show you any of the city itself. That should tell you something.

WSJ's Dan Neil on @Tesla's FSD (Supervised):
"By the end of the second hour—I was bewitched. FSD is amazing. I acknowledge I am a sample group of one, with only the scantest evidence to work with. Still, I know good driving when I see it. Mile by mile, the FSD started to earn my confidence. In the whitewater-like eddy and flow of rush-hour interstate traffic, FSD held its position beautifully: stopping distances, following distances, lane centering, the gradients of acceleration, steering and braking, all playing out in smoothly continuous linear functions."
