The Guitar Hero oral history book has six days left in the crowdfunding campaign and itโs still only 76% funded. If you wanna see it get printed, preorder yours and share the news! vol.co/collections/guitar-heโฆ
(Itโs gonna be great: written by @metallicaisrad and published by @romvg.)
ALT The image contains a few pages from the book. Words cannot describe how nice the typography is, but itโs pretty nice!

If you are feeling sad and hopeless that is completely understandable, but it's also a luxury we can't afford right now. Here's a list of some great organisations helping on the ground, just as a handy guide:

a new, year-long study found Google Search really has gotten worse, and top-ranking sites are "on average more optimized, more monetized with affiliate marketing, and they show signs of lower text quality" Also evidence of AI-generated top-ranking results

Chilling display in Guernica.
In 1937, the Nazis bombed this village on behalf of Francoโs Spanish Nationalists, who saw it as a center for the resistance against fascism.
86 years later, descendants of that horror express solidarity with Palestinians.
