You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.

This is real. It’s not tech bro conspiracy shit.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a “topic” list it shares with advertisers.

I went to three in-person conferences this summer. All asked attendees to COVID test every other day.

The first "encouraged" masks, and had a COVID outbreak.

The second "encouraged" masks, and had 10 percent positivity by the second to last day, at which point they started requiring masks.

The third REQUIRED masks indoors, and had zero positive COVID tests.

The Rain Parade and “The Dream Syndicate featuring Vicki Peterson” were on fire tonight. Don’t miss this if you’re UK based. #RainParade #TheDreamSyndicate #PaisleyUnderground

Just putting it out that #Shizuka ‘s #HeavenlyPersona LP is getting reissued on vinyl. Norman & Monorail have it in the UK - presume that World Of Echo will get it too. A special limited edition of 200 via Bandcamp comes with the ultra rare 4 cassette. Can’t see if this has been talked about much on here due to the shit search function.
US pals - please share far & wide and sign! You may not see as many international artists playing the US in the future. https://www.stereogum.com/2212613/foreign-musicians-would-pay-250-more-for-touring-visas-under-us-homeland-securitys-proposed-rule-change/news/
