This is really niche, I know, but if you are lurking on tech Twitter and want to start growing an audience via social media, writing, or video, I have one piece of advice I’d give to everyone: make your content additive, not negative. I don’t mean to say

Article originally published in Issue 4 of Rupture, Ireland’s eco-socialist quarterly, buy the print issue:

Like many of drum & bass's best artists before him, Elliot Garvey, AKA Quartz, got his big break on Metalheadz. The 2018 EP Hall Of Mirrors captured everything that's kept that label a the forefront of the genre for over two decades now: razor-sharp production and mixdowns, a wide survey of drum & bass styles and the kind of quiet, careful innovation inside the template that keeps the genre going. (Check out those bleepy melodies in "Hall Of Mirrors.") Since then he's appeared on another prestigious label, Samurai, and has new work coming out on RuptureLDN, Utopia and System, along with a long-awaited debut album on Metalheadz.

Photographer Vinca Petersen recounts how a movement born of music and hedonism quickly became a vehicle for civil disobedience and defiance of authority.

iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) is the first and the longest running iPhone photography competition since 2007.

In the late 2000s I was sleeping with all of my friends. This didn’t make me special; we were young in one of the several ways people move to cities like New York in order to be young. We were in general not doing much with our lives and so we did what generation after generation of young people have done in order to combat that particular circumstance: We tried to generate enough sex drama amongst ourselves that we didn’t have to notice that we weren’t doing much of anything, that things were harder than they were promised to be, that we had very little money and that everyone else seemed ...

The remarkable story of the woman who showed us all how to stare down death: Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.

Andrew Brown comes face to face with his academic nemesis

The cynical side of my brain is convinced that Ireland is a country based on waves – be they of COVID, careerist coalition partners, or emigration. It sometimes feels as if we’re stuck having the same few conversations every five months or years, running into depressingly similar problems without any real conclusion. I guess this […]

Kara Swisher with a lesson for young people on the value of risk-taking and digital responsibility.

Roger N Farah is finally joining us in studio to do the business show and dropping serious knowledge. Regardless of your industry or craft, you can learn from this show. Pops, if you did not know, is a heavy hitter. He just retired as Chairman of the Board of Tiffany & Co., having organized the largest luxury retail sales merger in history, selling the company to LVMH last year. He was President and COO of Ralph Lauren for 15 years, CEO of Venator Inc (which owns all FootLocker brands) for a decade, ran three Department Store chains before that, and was even CEO Saks Fifth Avenue in 1987 at just 33 years old. (Boy do I feel unsuccessful). He graduated from the Wharton School at UPenn in three years while playing both Soccer and Basketball. We're going to be talking about his incredible 50 year career in luxury retailing, and taking your business questions! **Correction** At one point Roger refers to his old job Woolworth as "losing a billion dollars a year." This is incorrect - it was $100 million per year. #business #career #thesmokingtire Go be your strongest self, use J-B Weld, World's Strongest Bond.

Six Americans logged their news consumption over the course of a day and, in doing so, probed their habits and perceptions.

If you're a developer today, you likely take advantage of built in tools for web debugging every day. They came from the smallest places, and it took years to get them where they are today.

"It's all about perseverance, knowing you're going to see your friends again, you're going to see that show again — it's going to be okay."

Track six is when you give your favorites their flowers. If someone else was putting this playlist together, maybe they’ll have the best New York rapper or an entire West Coast label represented. Not you though; you’re throwing on Outkast. It may not be the song with the most airplay, but it is the one that might mean the most. As Andre 3000 once said, the South’s got something to say.

Scientists took about 300 years to lay out the Periodic Table into neat rows and columns. In one hour, we’re going to mess it all up.  

Literary Lingo While serving in World War II, Joseph Heller concluded that war was a farce in which anyone crazy enough to shirk combat was considered sane enough to fight. That became the theme of…

He goes by many names: Forty Fonzarelli, Charlie Hustle, 40-Water or maybe you know him as the Ambassador of the Bay Area. When it comes to Bay Area hip-hop, E-40 quite possibly the greatest of all time. His distinctiveness has kept him relevant for three decades now, from mob music in the 1990's to hyphy slaps in the aughts to new music today. A couple months ago E-40 put out a brand new record with another Bay Area veteran: Too $hort – it's called Ain't Gone Do It. We're taking the time to revisit our conversation with E-40 from 2019. When he joined us we pulled up some deep cuts from R&B...
