Remember when the internet felt infinite? When every click could lead to something wild, wonderful, and new?

Those days are dying.

This man did more for tech, humanity and free speech in his 26 years on earth than Elon Musk will ever do in a lifetime of petulant, preening, performative posturing. (Img shows Aaron Swartz)

I don’t want an AI created playlist.

I don’t want an AI curated recommendation.

I want music chosen by a human person who speaks and loves music with every fibre of their being. Music that I might love. That I might hate. That isn’t safely predicted by the sum of everything I have liked before.

I want the imperfections goddammit.

I fucking live for them.

Never forget.

The single greatest Twitter exchange of all time.

Of.

All.

Time.
