This Week on coldplaysucks — July 26–August 2
Read more . . . →August started and the genres split the week dead even — DnB, dubstep, and house each pulled seven posts, trance and trap held their corners with three apiece, and the rest landed across a wide sprawl of electronic that runs from future bass to big room to whatever Slow Magic is doing. Thirty-six tracks, no clear winner. Good week. Track of the Week Ninajirachi, Porter Robinson - WannaCry Named after the ransomware, and yes, that’s the kind of title choice that tells you exactly what you’re getting. Sugar-rush synths and pitched vocals that land as actual emotion, kept weird by...

He Fired the Guards and Blamed the Neighbors
Read more . . . →Trump went on camera this week and blamed Minnesota for getting hacked. Not Iran, whose state-aligned hackers the FBI is actively investigating. Not his own administration, which fired a third of CISA’s workforce and is trying to slash another $700 million from the cybersecurity budget. Minnesota. Because they have a Democratic governor, and that’s apparently how threat attribution works now — not by forensic evidence, but by party affiliation. Hackers hit water systems in seven states starting July 27. Thirty-six municipal water systems in Minnesota alone — the kind of infrastructure where failure means people can’t drink the water. DOGE...

After Hours: When Summer Gets Dark and Weird
Read more . . . →Golden hour ends and the good part begins. Three tracks for the stretch after midnight, when the melodic techno crowd takes the tent and everyone’s already made at least two choices they’ll be explaining on Monday. 1.

They Work 35 Hours a Month for Free and the Airline Called It a System
Read more . . . →WestJet flight attendants work 35 hours a month for free. That’s not a union talking point — that’s how the credit hour system actually works. The clock doesn’t start when they greet you at the door, stow your bag, do the safety demo, or sit on the tarmac for two hours because the plane hasn’t pushed back yet. It starts when the aircraft leaves the gate. Everything before that — boarding, delays, deplaning — is, according to WestJet, not work. They have a term for this. They call it “the standard pay model.” Four thousand four hundred flight attendants voted...
